Victor Harrington was born in Victorian London. The mysterious death of his parents at an early age did not make him succumb to his fate. With a cool head and unremitting efforts, he inherited the remaining legacy and carved a niche in the textile industry. Soon, he became a well-known capitalist in London. The streets under the gas lights, the roaring factories, and the rising numbers in the account books all made him think that his life had finally gotten rid of the shadows and moved towards stability and light.
Until that night.
A letter claiming to be from his grandfather far away was delivered to his desk. The ancient wax seal was engraved with an unfamiliar family emblem. The words in the letter are heavy and cold, seeming to carry years and madness. In the letter, his grandfather not only mentioned the long-abandoned manor, but also implicitly mentioned that the death of Victor's parents was not an accident, but because of "knowing a secret that should not be prying into." He warns Victor that money and status are just appearances, and the real inheritance lurks deep in the manor, waiting for the next heir of Harrington's bloodline.
Anger and doubt drive Victor on his journey. He longs to solve the mystery of his parents' untimely death, but is troubled by vague warnings. The desolate countryside, dilapidated mansions, dusty archives and fragmented relics all point to some indescribable existence. As clues gradually gathered, he realized that the death of his parents and the decline of the entire family were related to the "abyss."
In the whirlpool of fate and madness, Victor must choose: face the abyss and bear the curse of his bloodline, or sink completely in the irresistible darkness.
