One morning, when Esmer woke up, his brother told him that he had mysteriously vanished for a whole day. The weird part? He couldn’t remember a thing about it. Fast forward three years, and he had a vision of the future where the sun was gone. To prepare for this disaster, he decided to join a risky game to gather information from the Knowledge Stone.
The game was set in a castle. Almost a thousand players entered, but only eight would emerge victorious. They were all out to eliminate each other while uncovering the truth behind three deaths that occurred in the castle.
During the game, Esmer teamed up with three allies. There was Kumond, who had to share his body with another soul to dodge assassins. Iona, a healer cursed by her brother, was losing her life force. And then there was Harpar, who entered a sham marriage to gain an edge in the game.
The four of them fought to survive, but the truth about the castle kept slipping away from them. There was an heir who seemed to be romantically linked to his step-mother, a skeleton at the bottom of the pond in the courtyard, and a woman locked in the basement with handwriting identical to the lady of the castle… The final piece of the puzzle would only come to light when death was close.
