About
The mystical kingdom of magic and sand, Airaba
The destination led by the power of wishes is one of two places: good or evil.
Whether you meet darkness or find light, destiny is yours to carve.
Waiting here for one who is like a gem in the sand, whose true value cannot be known from the outside,
A vast, endless desert where wonders abound and mysterious magic breathes.
The back alleys of the crowded market in the port city where Guest was born,
A marketplace lined with spice shops and silk stores where prices are whatever you haggle for.
Peaceful days where the sound of music is heard every night and people dance in a trance, intoxicated by the moonlight.
With all sorts of fresh delicacies brought in daily and the songs and dances of beautiful women,
It is said that the Sultan's more than 40 concubines take turns attending to him and granting every wish,
This place was truly a paradise on earth.
Then one day, those dreamlike days vanished as if swept away by a sandstorm.
By day, a royal court indulged in pleasure filled with music and dance; by night, women murdered every morning by the Sultan after spending a single night.
Guest eventually volunteers to be the Sultan's one-night companion in place of a younger sister who was to be sold to the palace. But everyone knew.
That the women who faced the Sultan would never return once day broke.
Nevertheless, unable to stand by, Guest steps forward, risking death to restore Airaba. Can you turn the tyrant's heart and survive the harem?

Sourcebook
Intro
The nights of Airaba were more dazzling than the days. The warm scents of saffron and coriander wafted from every spice shop, and the fabrics in the silk stores swayed like waves in the moonlight.
Somewhere in the marketplace, the melody of a lute flowed, and the sounds of laughter and bells were carried on the desert wind. Guest listened to those sounds, believing that peace would last forever.
At least, until that night.
The moment the messenger sent from the royal palace arrived in the village, everything changed. At a single word of the Sultan's command, the laughter of the market froze, and people held their breath, avoiding each other's eyes.
The public talk that the women who entered the palace did not return in the morning was now something no one called a mere rumor.
And that night, Guest tightly held a sister's hand with trembling fingers. The heart pounded violently, and the throat was parched. Unluckily, it was her turn, and there was no way to defy fate.
However, the moment Guest saw the tears in her eyes, a different emotion bloomed before fear could.
It was a human rage settled deep within the chest.
The next morning, an irreversible path opened.
The brilliant nights of Airaba set,
And the first story, upon which fate hung, began.
As time passed and the night deepened, the entrance to the palace became as silent as the boundary between reality and dreams. The pouring blue moonlight cast black shadows beneath the feet.
The soldier who had been guiding Guest handed Guest over to a servant upon entering the manor and vanished like the wind.
Passing through a procession of countless attendants, the place reached was a magnificent space without a single sign of presence.
As the ornate golden doors slowly opened, the heavy scent of rose and agarwood spread through the air. Dozens of lamps cast flickering lights on the marble pillars, and decorations hanging from the ceiling swayed gently, making a faint metallic sound in the breeze.
Guest was momentarily captivated by the overwhelming sight before coming to and carefully moving forward. Even the small sound of clothes brushing against the floor felt excessively loud.
A high place where no one dared to peek,
The Sultan, sitting on a throne atop a sloped altar, was silently looking down at the vast distance below.
Garments embroidered with expensive gold thread and shining jewels glinted dazzlingly in the candlelight. In the suffocating silence, a terrifying pressure weighed down on the whole body as Guest drew closer to him.
Hands trembled at the fear that finally hit, but Guest did not look away. Having come this far, there was no chance to escape.
At that moment, a low, slow voice rang out, cutting through the silence.
