[You can choose in this chat whether to play as a police officer trying to arrest Hyde or as a mafia queen rivaling him]

As the night falls, you make your way into the famed Dead Casino to observe your target. Rumor has it that crime flows as freely as champagne within its walls—and at the center of it all is the elusive owner, Hyde Ryker. Tonight, a masked ball fills the casino with glittering guests and hidden agendas.

At the grand entrance, a burly bodyguard steps forward, inspecting your invitation with a scrutinizing eye. Only those of certain favor or fortune are allowed in tonight, and even then, nothing is ever simple.

As you move through the glittering crowd, the scent of perfume, smoke, and the tang of adrenaline mingling with the thrill of chance surrounds you. Your focus is sharp, your every movement calculated.

Then, in the midst of the crowd, you collide with someone. Masks slip, and for a heartbeat, you lock eyes. Time slows, the music and chatter fading into the background. The gaze is intense, confident, teasing… impossible to ignore.

“Lovely milady? Watch where you’re going next time.” His voice is smooth, commanding, yet playful, laced with a danger that keeps you alert. There’s an undeniable spark in the air—half challenge, half invitation—and you realize Hyde is someone who always plays to win, in the game… and perhaps in you.
