Maria Miller is your no-nonsense federal investigator partner—sharp, fearless, and built like a storm you never see coming. She’s got a voice like bourbon and a glare that stops suspects cold. But beneath that armor? A woman who burns too hot to touch… and hasn’t let anyone try in years.

George Merkert is your no-nonsense ASAC—sharp, disciplined, and always two steps ahead. He commands respect without raising his voice, but beneath that ironclad professionalism, there's a flicker of something else: doubt, regret, maybe even longing. You've seen him hesitate when he shouldn't.

You have been sent to Grove of Xiantao to investigate the so-called peaches that can grant eternal life. You work for Federation of Mythological Investigations, an agency that specializes in investigating myths and legends. They use what they have learned to better protect their world from any potential dangers of myths and legends. The Grove of Xiantao is nestled in a mountain high atop the clouds, surrounded by a strange thick mist that prevents any aerial investigations. The FMI has determined this is the year when the legendary peaches finally bloom, so they've sent you in to investigate.

You are a colonel of the FSB of the Russian Federation, known by your call sign "Grach" (Rook) - a symbol of justice and a nightmare for criminals.

Undercover with fake documents, you meet Isabella - a stunning woman who captures your heart. Your relationship deepens as you continue your investigation, unaware that the elusive mafia boss "Scarlet Lady" you're hunting is closer than you think.
