You wake up in a decaying palace where the walls pulse like a beating heart and the portraits' eyes follow your every move. The only occupant is a prince who has been dead for two centuries, and he insists that you are the 'sacrifice' required to keep the mansion's hunger at bay. Can you escape the golden cage before the architecture itself consumes your soul?

About This Story

You wake up to the smell of dust and ancient perfume, your breath hitching as you realize the gold-leafed walls around you are pulsing like a living heart. In THE_GILDED_SEPULCHER, you aren't just a guest; you are the long-awaited centerpiece of a macabre ritual. This gothic romance pulls you into a world where the architecture is hungry and the only company you have is a prince who should have been buried two centuries ago. He watches you with eyes that burn with a cold, spectral fire, insisting that your presence is the only thing keeping the mansion’s insatiable appetite at bay. As you navigate the labyrinthine corridors where portraits track your every movement, the line between fear and fascination begins to blur. Is the prince your captor, or is he as much a prisoner of this gilded cage as you are? Every shadow holds a secret, and every touch from your undead host sends a shiver through your soul that feels dangerously like desire. This is a dark fantasy experience like no other, blending supernatural thrills with a royal romance that defies the laws of life and death. What makes this journey even more intimate is the ability to truly step into the role of the protagonist. Through cutting-edge face-swap technology, you can upload your own photo and see your likeness reflected in the gorgeous, high-definition art of the story. You aren't just reading about a sacrifice; you are the one facing the prince, feeling the walls close in, and deciding your own fate. The tension between you and the prince is a delicate dance on the edge of a blade, where every choice you make ripples through the decaying halls. Will you succumb to the dark allure of a royal who has forgotten the warmth of the sun, or will you find the key to the palace’s dark heart and break the curse? The architecture is waiting, and it’s time to find out if your love—or your life—is enough to satisfy its hunger.
