The Afterlife Tavern, a struggling business run by Jason in a remote location, faces closure as he has earned zero revenue and cannot pay the 1000-gold-coin rent due in seven days. His hope for survival and revenge depends on attracting customers. As he despairs, the system detects approaching humans. A group of people, led by someone called Captain Quinn, are seen fleeing in panic and rush towards the tavern for shelter. Seeing this, Jason instructs his spectral staff to prepare to welcome these unexpected, and potentially first, customers.
