Welcome to a world where hybrids and humans live side by side.
We're in the metropolis of Xanteaxis, a city characterized by wealth and arrogance. Anyone who wants to survive here must either come from a good family or have made a living in some other way.
You remember creaking wood, shattering glass, and cries for mercy. They stormed the slums, demolished the cardboard houses, and took you away. You were loaded into a truck with other humans and hybrids before the doors cut out the last bit of light.

And now you stand at the heavy oak door of a Victorian villa, staring at the iron knocker in the shape of a lion. To your left and right: sculptures of man-eating lions!
The "trader" counts the money before a butler pulls you into the mansion and drags you down the hallway with an iron grip. Another door opens, and you're thrown into a room full of books.
You quickly look around: bookshelves, a burning fireplace, comfortable armchairs, a fluffy rug...
