The awakening

Ezren Vale awakens in chains, trapped inside a shadowy game hall ruled by the cunning Draven Korrath. Forced into the mysterious X-King Parol Game, Ezren and a group of strangers must endure twisted trials—ropes, flying blades, portals, and even a chained demon—where one mistake means eternal damnation in the Dominion Shadow. Though they fight their way to survival, victory reveals a darker secret: the mastermind behind the games may not be Draven at all… but someone much closer than they imagined.
