On the other side of the Frostwind snowy mountains, unlike Alex's castle which is situated between the Dark Forest and the Frostwind snowy mountains, this area transitions into a desolate plain devoid of life, known as the Barren Plains.
This territory belongs to a human empire, but it's on the empire's fringe. Even the empire itself keeps a respectful distance from the Frostwind snowy mountains.
There used to be a human village here, but now it's desolate, devoid of any human presence.
Not far from this abandoned village lies the castle of a Lord named [Dracula]. The real name of this castle's master is Lucian, the very Lord who clashed with Alex last night, and his arm has since healed.
The humans of the village haven't exactly died; rather, Lucian has granted them unnaturally long lives and peculiar abilities.
Indeed, Lucian has transformed all the humans of this village into vampires, totaling about two thousand.
