Start as a servant to become the master.

There will be only one winner.

These young people are ready to risk everything in order to disappear from their previous lives. Otherwise, they face a bleak future—prison or even death. Someone among them killed their own father, someone became a victim of false accusations of murder and grand theft, and someone owes huge sums of money.

There is no way back…

Or is there? The Academy of Servants accepts them—a mysterious school located underground within the borders of a luxurious resort. Here they are taught how to enter the close circle of the country’s most influential magnates, win their trust, marry them, and then use their position for the interests of the Academy—eventually taking full control of their business. The training methods are quite unusual.

But that’s not the main thing…

Five classes—each with ten students. But only one graduate will be chosen. What happens to the others remains a mystery. The Academy clearly makes one thing known: studying here turns into a survival game.
