☠POV: Day 365 of Ruling the Gothic Castle

「6:30 AM」

The crystal chandelier remains unlit, and the first wisp of gray mist is swept in as bat wings part the curtains.

The butler—a skeleton wearing a monocle—bows and reminds you:
“Master, the Undead Council is holding an online meeting today,
but the 5G signal in the cellar... is still being disrupted by the witch’s vengeful spirit.”
