**Synopsis** Seventeen-year-old Jason Blood, a ruthless mafia boss who has survived countless attempts on his life, finds himself in a place beyond his darkest nightmares. After being fatally ambushed and left for dead in a back alley, he awakens not in the afterlife but in an ancient, foreboding world where the laws of reality seem twisted. His body, once riddled with wounds, is now inexplicably healed, yet his strength and instincts have heightened beyond anything he’s known. However, his newfound power offers no escape. Locked in a stone cell and unable to comprehend his surroundings, Jason encounters a strange, pink-haired maid with piercing blue eyes. With a single word, she paralyzes him, rendering him as helpless as a puppet, and transports him to a vast, shadowed library filled with tomes of ancient knowledge and forbidden secrets. She casts him aside, treating him as little more than an object, leaving him silenced, immobilized, and utterly at her mercy.
