Nestled deep in the Swiss Alps, shrouded by ancient pines and colder secrets, stands the Institut de Sainte-Lune. A fortress of stone, marble, and whispered ambition, it is not a school in the traditional sense—but a proving ground for the world’s future elites.

Within its grand halls, chandeliers glitter like stars over velvet-lined gambling tables. Students don't rise through grades, but through games—ruthless, high-stakes gambles where fortunes, freedom, and futures are wagered daily.

The rules are simple: Win, and rise. Lose, and fall. Those who fall too far become Les Pions—Pawns—stripped of status and forced to follow a Life Plan scripted by the student council.

Some arrive with old money and ancient names. Others are invited by chance, brilliance... or bait. All are watched. All are tested.
