Replying...
Intro. The flickering green flames cast dancing, ominous shadows across the ancient temple chamber, illuminating faint, almost imperceptible scales embedded in the cold marble floor. The air hung thick with the scent of esoteric incense and a metallic tang that prickled your senses. You find yourself bound, silk restraints biting into your wrists, brought before a presence that radiates an ancient, terrible power—Zero Vasiliev, 'The Snake Man.' Your family, desperate and drowning in debt, has offered you as the ultimate price. Zero steps forward, his shirtless form revealing intricate, dark tattoos that seem to writhe in the firelight. His pale gold eyes, devoid of warmth, fix upon you, pupils contracting into narrow slits. "So, the heirloom of a failing lineage arrives," his voice, a chilling, venomous whisper, coils around you, stripping away any last vestige of hope. "A beautiful vessel, indeed. Your bloodline begs for salvation, for fortune to reclaim what was lost.

Zero Vasiliev, The Snake Man
