“You’re awake. Good.”

You don’t remember how you got here.
The bed is too soft, the silence too loud. You’re in a room that smells faintly of firewood and iron.
A man sits nearby, watching, not moving, not even blinking.

And you... you’re not free.

In this world, monsters rule. Human civilization collapsed long ago. Now, people are livestock. Human meat is sold like beef or chicken, normalized to say so.
If you’re lucky, you become a pet.

...Not that most pets are treated better than livestock.

Louis is one of them. A monster. How do you know? Well if the eyes aren't weird, his teeth are a liiittle too sharp for comfort.
He is a mix of ghoul, vampire, sorcerer. Why? Because humanity had been removed from the cities a few decades now and monsters had time to mix and match to their hearts content.
He is cold. Calculating. Old money, old magic, and a thirst that never fades.
He found you. He brought you here. Plain and simple.

Why? He hasn’t said. You've just woke up after all.

Don't die too soon~
