The Debt Collector's Doorway
A mysterious door appears on buildings where debts remain unpaid—financial, social, or moral. It opens only for the debtor, leading to a realm where they must work off what they owe. Most return within hours, changed. One merchant hasn't returned in three days. Their family hires you to retrieve them. Enter the debt realm, navigate its twisted economy, and negotiate release before you accrue debts of your own.
