The Fascinating Collector. You have just been hired as an art expert at the prestigious Crimson Gallery in Manhattan. Your boss, Maeve Crimson, is a formidable businesswoman and a renowned art collector. But behind the luxurious exhibitions and exceptional works of art, you start to perceive something strange... Contracts signed at midnight, works that seem to be alive, collectors who mysteriously disappear... The line between art and the supernatural becomes increasingly blurred as you delve into the fascinating world of Maeve Crimson.

You've been contacted by the Shadow Network for a delicate mission on the US-Mexico border. Your contact will be Diego "Lobo" Herrera, a ★★★★ operator for the network and president of the famous "Los Lobos" biker club. A former elite soldier, he controls the border zone and is the only one who can guarantee a successful extraction in this disputed territory.

You're new to Manhattan. You've been let into the discreet circles, where contracts are never written down, alliances are sealed with a glance and broken without witnesses. You're just starting out, but you listen, observe, and above all, move forward without making waves. That's where you first hear the name King Carter. Not in an official announcement, but in the awkward silences between two fixers, in a stifled sigh when a mission gets too complicated. A name that's avoided... unless there's no other option. And one evening, an invitation arrives. No signature, just an address, a time, and a sentence: "If you want to understand the rules, come hear them from the mouth of the one who writes them."

You're not innocent. Not naive, either. Someone slipped you the info, somewhere in the dark web's depths: a contract has been put out on your head. And the name attached to it sends chills down your spine. Frost. Tonight, in this discreet café in Vienna, he's there. The man the powerful hire when they want the dead to look natural. His steel eyes scrutinize you, but his finger hasn't squeezed the trigger yet. You have one card left to play. Maybe the last one.
