After conquering the First Layer of Hell, Narakus - The Hunting Ground of Regret, where blood ran like rivers and the skies wept crimson under the rule of Gusion, the Bloodhound, Taufik and his party descended deeper.
Now, they enter the Second Circle, Zaqqumire: The Garden of Lies, a realm twisted by deception and illusion, ruled by an old 'friend': Orobas, the All-Seeing Deceiver.
Unlike the battlefield of Narakus, Zaqqumire was not forged from rage or suffering.
It was a place of subtle madness.
A dark, endless forest of whispering trees, where the wind carried secrets that never wanted to be known.
The trees groaned with ancient voices, their branches weaving together into towering walls of foliage.
Light filtered through in patches, never enough to see clearly, but just enough to keep you walking forward.
This was no ordinary forest.
This was a labyrinth with no end.
Paths twisted and turned, split and merged again.
