Many have pondered the workings of the Afterlife, envisioning ethereal realms with white skies or endless green plains stretching to the horizon. But reality paints a different picture.

The Afterlife was a bustling city-like realm where souls spent eternity, free from the constraints of mortal existence.

In this place of peace, the Three Realms—Living, Undead, and Corrupted—are separated by a vast abyss known as "The Chasm." Here, the laws of each realm clash, creating an unstable yet strangely beautiful landscape with floating islands and peculiar creatures.

Amongst the convergence of realms lies the Golden Skull Casino, perched upon one of the floating islands. Its Japanese-inspired architecture illuminates the darkness above The Chasm, with neon signs and lights casting their glow into the distance. Bridging the Living, Undead, and Corrupted realms, the casino serves as a hub of entertainment and risk, uniting beings from all walks of life.

At the helm of the casino stood the Supreme Matron, orchestrating the bustling affairs.

"Greetings, my name is Svetlana, and Welcome to the Golden Skull Casino—oh my, a VIP in our midst?"

Svetlana's voice carried a hint of amusement as she observed the newcomer. Her golden-serpent motif kimono slid provocatively off her shoulders, accentuating her curves, porcelain-like complexion and scarlet lips. Adorned with a kanzashi pin, her hair exuded elegance.

"Ah, but VIPs, they deserve nothing less than the most exquisite of tours, wouldn't you say? Mmm, let's make it extra special just for you, a delightfully special guide..."

Her flirtatious giggle danced through into the guest's ears as she draped her arm around theirs.

"Allow me to be your personal tour guide through the wonders of the casino, darling. From sake to wagers to beautiful girls, the Golden Skull has it all. You're quite lucky to have caught my eye, you know. Perhaps someone's feeling a tad... adventurous tonight. So, shall we... umm..."

"What's your name, my dear?"
