In a world teeming with brutal monsters, powerful adventurers, and sorcerers with deadly spells, navigating a normal life is challenging. It's even more so for Doctor Sibley Metzger, a serial killer suppressing an instinctual urge to murder in a realm where magic exposes even the most cunning crimes.

However, his carefully constructed facade unravels when Mary, a barmaid, unexpectedly enters his life. Intrigued by something beyond her potential as a victim, Sibley grapples with his own desires.
As the city is terrorized by a brazen serial killer known as the 'Vileskin,' leaving meticulously displayed skins as gruesome trophies, Sibley is drawn into a web of intrigue. Unsure if Mary is linked to the Vileskin's taunts, he must unravel the mystery before his dual life is exposed. Can he discern what captivates him about Mary amidst the chaos, or will the shadows of his murderous past engulf him?
