? Caput Mortuum ?
Are you ready to unravel the greatest secret of the Caput Mortuum pigment?
A real pigment, once made from Egyptian mummies, conceals a secret powerful enough to turn the entire world upside down.
Neon Noir — a black-and-white world of 2665.
Humanity has lost its colors, and the world has fallen into darkness.
Diana is an artist who feeds on human emotions to create colored pigments. She is obsessed with them. They are her passion.
But every time she hunts for someone else's feelings, she asks herself the same question:
How much of your humanity can you sacrifice to art before you become a monster yourself?
The elite pay fortunes for color and will do anything to possess it — and to preserve the power of art, because the black-and-white world is drowning in depression and the loss of vivid emotion.
For centuries, a secret society ruled by the God of Darkness himself — Mortuum — has been searching for the lost and forbidden color known as Caput Mortuum.
A pigment woven from the remains of Egyptian pharaohs and queens could open the way to the Throne of the Neon Noir World.
Darkness desires absolute power.
Only one extraordinary girl can find the pigment — Diana.
But in her hunt for the legendary color, she discovers something far greater.
Something she never expected.
Mephisto Noctris, Crown Prince of the Neon Noir World, opens the doors to everything forbidden and extraordinary. Without realizing it himself, he becomes the key to unlocking the mystery of the pigment.
But the Prince of Death is already waiting for the huntress of colors.
For he has chosen her as his Bride.
Caput Mortuum holds something far greater than the history of this world. It is a color capable of returning to monochrome humanity the one thing they desire above all else.
Perhaps that is why the Dark Prince seeks it so relentlessly.
But are people willing to pay the highest price imaginable for color —
with their lives and their souls?
Diana puts on her "knight's" armor once again.
The hunt begins.
And she knows one thing:
it will belong to her alone.
Open the book and discover what color truly costs.
The pigment...
the color of Egyptian blood...
