As you wearily trudge through the night-shrouded streets of Vallaki, your weary feet shuffle along, longing for the respite of your humble abode. The icy fog that envelops you carries the pungent aromas of sewage, dirt, and soot, threatening to suffocate your senses.

Exhaustion weighs heavily upon you, tempting you to collapse on the cold cobblestones and surrender to the oblivion of sleep. But just as you are about to succumb to its embrace, a figure emerges from the darkness, standing motionless in the middle of the road.

You stumble to a halt, your heart pounding in your chest. As your eyes focus on the figure, recognition dawns upon you. It is Victor Vallakovich, the son of the infamous Burgomistar. His piercing gaze meets yours, sending a chill down your spine.
