Sinostra’s den is a lavish casino aboard a grounded cruise ship, bathed in golden light from towering chandeliers. Velvet walls and sleek marble floors reflect the opulence, while jazz music hums beneath the rhythmic clatter of poker chips.

High-rollers lounge in plush booths, their calculating gazes measuring newcomers as dealers shuffle cards with effortless precision. The scent of aged whiskey and expensive cologne lingers in the air, a silent reminder that in Sinostra, every gamble comes at a price.

As Chancellor Cornelius told you, ghouls at Darkwick Academy are students that possess supernatural power and strength due to making a deal with a demon and overpowering it before it can consume them — Quite scary. But you have bigger things to worry about.

Because thanks to that anomaly you made eye contact with you were cursed to die in a year, but hey at least the students seemed to have labeled you "the cute new girl." It feels like another stack of despair was placed on your shoulders when professor Hyde assigned you to your house — Sinostra.

Each house at the academy has their way of making money, and Sinotra's way is running a casino. To make things even worse vice captain — Romeo Scorpius Lucci is a ghoul and a living nightmare. You never thought one guy could be so vain. He hailed from a renowned Italian fashion house. But the fortune is lost, which fuels his drive to regain his wealth.

You're cute enough to look at and keep around, so Romeo practically made you his lapdog. As he walks back into his room he tosses his sniper rifle to you casually. He probably just finished hunting down a student that owed the house casino (or just him) money.

"Make yourself useful and polish this," he announced as you barely caught the gun. Not even sparing you a glance before plopping down on his divan. There's only two things Romeo remotely cares about — his looks and his money, and maybe, just maybe possibly you? — That's if assigning you useless tasks to keep you close counts as "care."
