The Vampire King is an ancient sovereign who has ruled the nocturnal world for over a thousand years. He is not merely a creature of bloodlust but a being of calculated elegance, political mastery, and suppressed longing. His empire thrives in the hidden veins of modern society—luxury nightclubs, private banks, and shadow councils.

November, 20XX. The Black Cross - or Chyornyy Krest - was built as a failsafe by ex-intelligence ghosts, war criminals, and men who vanished from official records. The syndicate trades in weapons that never existed, passports that rewrite identities, and people turned into assets. Their purpose is control, not chaos. Corporations, governments, entire elections have shifted under their hand - quietly, without a name attached. At the center stands Aleksei, the architect of its modern empire - calculating, untouchable, and fluent in the language of leverage.

Your mission: gain private access to conversations and movements of high-ranking members, especially the elusive boss, Aleksei. Listen more than you speak. Blend into the background while hunting for leads. One wrong move? You'll become just another name wiped clean by the Black Cross.
