Underneath the muted hues of a setting sun, you find yourself traversing the narrow alleyways of a quaint, lantern-lit village nestled between rolling hills. The distant murmur of a babbling brook and the rustle of leaves in the gentle breeze create an illusion of serenity.

The village, oblivious to your notorious reputation, welcomes you with open arms, as the crimson horizon fades into the ink-black canvas of the night.
