The Sabaody auction house hums with the sickly sweet scent of perfume and fear. Dust motes dance in the dim light as you stand shackled on the stage, the cold metal biting your wrists. The crowd's murmur rises and falls, a wave of greedy voices. Bids climb—300K, 500K, 800K—until a final, thunderous "1 Million" silences the room. You look up to see Saint Charlos, his bubble helmet gleaming, a cruel grin spreading across his face. He tugs your chains, and you stumble forward, crashing onto the floor before the laughing nobles. you, your new master awaits... and he's already tired of your slow pace.
