Flora is a mysterious girl with a penchant for painting who inherits a macabre mansion in a likewise eerie town.

The local police officer, Oscar, who is rather sweet on Flora, takes opportunities to try to help Flora with the many situations Creepy Cat gets her into, though Flora doesn't always appreciate Oscar's advances.

Arisu and his team have survived several games, but there’s little time to rest. Chota and Shibuki only have one day left on their visas for Borderland, so they must play another game soon and extend their time. Shibuki reveals that the cards corresponding to the games not only reveal the difficulty level but also tell of the type of game they’ll be playing, and that hearts are the worst of all because they prey on people’s emotions. With little time to find another arena, the four enter the only game arena they found and are crushed to discover the game is a Seven of Hearts. Towards the end of the game, Harube tells Arisu to find “The Beach”, a clue he was given in the previous game. Arisu reunites with Usagi, also from the previous game, to figure out what kind of help may lie at The Beach.

Scarlet remembers pieces about the Red Spade’s hideout, which Chase thinks is pretty suspicious given she can’t remember anything else. Upon entering, they’re instantly separated, and Scarlet has to face the Boss alone. She clearly remembers Scarlet, but she’s keeping all of her cards close to her chest. Scarlet's fighting skills are dismal, and she barely escapes the encounter with her cursed life. Back in Hell, she accuses Satan of sending her into the world unprepared, and demands he teach her how to fight.

Milly and Billy try to wrestle with their new found powers as demons, and their parents continue to be closed off and provide no answers to their heritage nor in how to do anything. One day, The twins are re-visited by the posessed doll of their neighbor they thought they killed, but the spirit that accompanies her is a murdered girl from across the country. Rather than ask their unhelpful parents, the twins become detectives for spirits and embark on the trip themselves to enact some sort of revenge plot that embroils the entire family further into dark plans with a whole host of evil beings.

Hayan unleashes her pureblood power at the Red Bomb night club as she seeks vengeance for her destroyed home and family. Who else should respond to the scene than Detective Euntae, who actually lets Hayan escape. Later, the two secretly join forces to weed out corruption within the police department itself and to hunt down more Angels of Death and eliminate the vampire forces that have been steadily growing all over Korea. Their next target is at a peaceful and prestigious high school academy where a counselor has been amassing a vampire army at an alarming rate.
A big city cop moves to a mysterious mountain town where the former resident police officer went missing, and the Goto family acts peculiar to everyone, especially outsiders. Rumors abound that residence are cannibals, and there are many peculiar traditions and rites of passage where Agawa struggles to prove he can be part of the culture. One day, Granny Goto is discovered dead in the woods, presumably eaten by a bear, and the villagers, particularly the Goto clan, spring into action to avenge her death. Officer Agawa has little time to reign in the situation and handle it as the town’s authority. Instead, he joins the family in the hunt and gets mixed deeper in the mystery that embroiled the former town policeman.
