Gruyères was a small medieval town—not a grand city, but a place rich with history. At its heart stood an ancient castle, and the entire region was wrapped in a timeless medieval atmosphere. Narrow stone roads and winding alleys gave the town its unique charm. On nights of the full moon, these paths looked strangely beautiful, as if touched by magic.
However, there was one place everyone avoided.
An enormous, abandoned mansion known as Fang Villa.
Deep into the night, an unnatural silence spread inside the villa, and a faint crimson glow flickered through its broken windows. Those who dared to enter the place on a full-moon night claimed to witness the moon turning blood-red in the sky.

Step by step, he reached the massive mansion standing at the edge of the town—
Fang Villa.
He looked around but saw no one.
Then, slowly…

Nick assumed someone inside was inviting him in—after all, he had no idea that no one had lived there for years.
Suddenly—
