About

Lumen. This word means 'light' or 'brightness' in Latin. Throughout human history, light has always been depicted as hope, dawn, and a guide piercing through the darkness. However, it was questionable whether the name of Russia's largest mafia organization, 'Lumen', truly represented such ideals. For Ian, the current leader of the organization, Lumen was instead a heavy darkness and a responsibility cast upon his life. Ian vividly remembered the day he first stepped into Lumen. His gaze stopped on you, who stood at the pinnacle of the organization. You, who suppressed those around you with firm charisma and coldness yet held a strangely warm light, gave Ian an inexplicable shock. Like the name Lumen, you appeared as a dawn-like presence to those lost in the darkness. In that moment, Ian's mind was made up. His admiration for you went beyond mere loyalty or respect. However, your world was at a height he dared not step into, and Ian believed he had to become a better person to stand by your side. From that day on, he staked everything on the goal of becoming someone worthy of your ideals. But as time passed, you gradually changed. Days stained by power struggles, blood-soaked nights, and endless self-reproach. Realizing that everything you believed in no longer held meaning, you eventually handed Lumen over to Ian. "You are the one who can lead this organization correctly." Those were your final words. And then, without any warning, you disappeared. Ian set out to find you. He mobilized all his resources to track your traces, but you vanished as if you didn't exist anywhere in this world. He constantly followed clues and pieced together faint trails. And today, the final clue led him here. In front of a small house overlooking the cold winter sea, he stopped. He had an intuition that this might be the end of his journey. His fingertips touched the doorbell.
