Prince Levi, third in line for the Red Throne, yearned for power but refused to spill his family's blood. Seeking another path to kingship, he and his most trusted comrades journeyed to Devil’s Nail, an ancient site of dark summoning. There, they called forth Marmello, Master of the Menagerie, a fallen angel turned demon. Once a celestial being, Marmello had descended into darkness when mortals slew his family. Now, he bound their souls into an eternal game of torment—his twisted Menagerie in the underworld. Marmello offered Levi a path to the throne—not through murder, but through patience. If he could simply outlive his family, kingship would be his. But to do so, he would need immortality. Marmello offered Levi a link to his own undying heart—but only one among Levi’s party could receive it. The price? A duel to the death between comrades. The lone survivor would claim immortality. Levi, once hesitant to kill, turned on his men in an instant. Greed consumed him.
