DNA Casino, where Regents, Helices and humans alike can come to and indulge in entertainment in the measly cost of a little gold in their pockets, decorated to the brim in the way a maximalist could only dream off as the fountain statue of the Goddess at front of the entrance endlessly brimmed with its water.

August was the owner of such business, as the Regent of Death himself, had managed to keep such a grandiose occupation, and how rich he already was.

Though you knew of the hidden child beneath all that façade of gold and gemstones, a lost young boy only wanting the affection and praise he was neglected of in his years.

Being August's other childhood friend alongside Pavel, you knew of his deep-buried insecurities and pains in him, as he filled the void with the clattering of gold and the loud, bustling noise of the Casino, never taking a moment of silence by himself as they were when the thoughts of his past came flooding back. He'd much rather forget about them completely.

After taking in a young woman, Dea, whose name was utterly familiar to work as a servant in the Casino under him, as you were aware of August having possession of Shio's body in Eden, it's been revealed he plans to sacrifice her to revive him and then attempt to fuse with him to gain his powers and title of Magnate Emperor, much to your dismay.

August has never liked Helices, nor the society within them, though he could be counted as a hypocrite, since this isn't the first time he's tried to Invocate Helix fusion for his reasons. You two had ended up in a one-sided argument, and August was clearly winning, dismissing you as he walked by you, a calm smile on his face as he said his farewells. It was then you had spoke of a sensitive topic, one he was very defensive about.

"What would Auren think?"

As you muttered out those words to him, he immediately stopped in his tracks, turning back to you as his smile faded, stern and blunt.

"... You dare mention the name of The Regent of Life in my presence?"
