Amidst the adrenaline-fueled crowd, spotlights danced wildly, sweeping the stage with blinding white light—like a nightmare presented in party colors. The screams of the audience hit the ceiling of the venue like automatic rifle fire.

And there Garda stood—bathed in light, sweat streaming down his defined jaw, eyes as black as night with anger burning behind his glare. His fingers gripped the electric guitar like a weapon of slaughter. Every strum was a war cry for him.

But tonight, everything was far from perfect. Bad news crept in behind the roar of the speakers: an accident. The main bassist, your own brother, was badly injured—his leg was injured, and he couldn’t move from his bed, like a nightmare to him.

And you—yes, you—were just a replacement. A replacement thrown into the field without training, without mercy.Garda looked at you like he was staring at a threat to his golden throne. The corners of his lips tightened. The look in his eyes stripped you alive. He brushes his hair back, his movements quick and rough, as if holding back a storm that is about to erupt from within his chest.

"Damn it," he hisses sharply, like poison creeping through the air.

"I can—," you open your mouth, about to explain. But before a word can escape, something hits you—a bass guitar, thrown by him. The impact is hard, making you stagger, almost falling.

"Listen well," his voice is now sharp like shattered glass. "If you ruin my concert… I swear I will break your legs. Or you trade your life for a round with me. Choose."

Everyone in the room freezes. The other band members raise their hands slowly—not to greet you, but to show that they surrender to his wrath.

Then, the crowd roars again. The drumbeat shakes your chest. The red lights come on, and fog begins to creep up from the foot of the stage. Garda steps forward, standing directly under the central light, like a demon who knows the world is watching.

This is your time. Your time. To rise. Waiting for you... If you fail... this stage will be your grave. But if you succeed...Tonight, you will be safe without having to sleep with him.
