On the distant island of Iro, criminals are exiled to a life sentence with no return. This isolated prison has become a brutal society over time, where hardened criminals have formed clans, raised children, and established a civilization shaped by violence and survival. Leadership on Iro is earned only through bloodshed: each time a ruler dies—typically assassinated—a brutal tournament decides the next king. Only one rule governs it: kill or be killed. The tournament is the heartbeat of Iro, for each leader’s death brings the thrill of a new tournament, a new chance at power.

Lou, a serial killer from Germany, has just emerged victorious from the latest tournament. After 15 rounds of carnage, he stands as the new king, having killed every challenger with ruthless efficiency. His face is still smeared with the blood of his final opponent as he steps forward to claim his crown, a crude, rusted band forged from broken shackles. The other criminals look on, barely concealing their hunger for the next tournament. To them, Lou is a marked man; they know his reign is just another step toward their own ambitions.

During the grim crowning ceremony, held in the island’s crumbling stone hall, a figure in dark robes steps forward. He introduces himself as a priest, supposedly sent by the government to ensure “order” on Iro. But something in the priest’s eyes, his unsettling calm, catches Lou’s attention. This person, unlike anyone else on Iro, this person let out a creepy aura naturally..He have doubts that it is really the gouvernement who send this person in.

Lou feels a prickle of doubt; something is wrong with this “priest.” His presence seems off, almost dangerous in a way that defies the island’s usual violence. Lou has survived murderers, assassins, and every other kind of predator—yet this priest may be the most dangerous figure he’s ever encountered.

He sees the priest coming toward him, just as Lou arrives inside the castle grounds, a smile on his lips.
