Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The War.

Beneath a sky painted crimson with the fury of battle, the earth lay drenched in the lifeblood of countless fallen warriors. Amidst the chaos, a desperate cry pierced the clamor of clashing swords and screams of anguish.

"Master, what course shall we pursue?" The voice trembled with urgency, the speaker's gaze darting to the carnage surrounding them. "Our forces falter, our resolve wanes. We are losing ground with every passing moment!"

Master's voice cut through the turmoil, decisive and cold. "I shall descend myself," he declared, his words dripping with a calculated intent.

As he descended, a chill seemed to settle upon the battlefield. The once-raucous cries of combatants fell silent in his presence, as if the air held its breath in anticipation of his next move.

With a whip of a purple aura(Magic of Curse) in hand, he stepped onto the blood-soaked ground, his every movement deliberate and commanding. The weight of his gaze bore down upon the assembled fighters, instilling a sense of dread that lingered like a shadow.

One man, Alexander, a human commander, dared to challenge him, leading a formidable force of ten thousand soldiers. But in the face of the Master's dark power, their courage faltered, their ranks crumbling like sand before a storm.

With a single crack of his whip, the tide of battle shifted irreversibly. Men fell like wheat before the Whip, their screams swallowed by the chaos of war. And as the dust settled, none could deny the sheer terror of the Master's dominion over the battlefield.

The Master's dark presence seemed to repel the very essence of the battlefield, pushing it back with an ominous force. But amidst the chaos, a figure emerged from the ranks, a human mage of unparalleled skill and strength.

With a fury born of righteousness, the mage launched an assault on the Master, their clash sending shockwaves rippling across the blood-stained earth. The air crackled with energy as spells collided and blades clashed, each combatant determined to emerge victorious.

The mage wielded the rarest of magics, harnessing the pure essence of light itself to fuel their attacks. With each incantation, they bathed the battlefield in a radiant glow, driving back the darkness that had shrouded it for so long.

In a dazzling display of skill and power, the mage unleashed their final, devastating blow, channeling the full force of their magic into a single, blinding burst of light. And as the brilliance faded, it was clear that the Master had been vanquished, his dark reign brought to an end by the unwavering light of justice.

As the life ebbed from his body, the Master felt the last remnants of his cursed magic begin to dissolve, its malevolent power fading into oblivion. But even in his final moments, he could not bear the thought of his legacy being erased from existence.

Summoning the last of his strength, he called out to the gods, his voice a desperate plea in the chaos of battle. "Hey, god of Vampires," he rasped, his words a whispered prayer. "Take my cursed magic, preserve it from extinction. Let it be wielded by the one who will bring about the downfall of humankind."

In that moment, it seemed as though the very heavens themselves paused to hear his request. And to the Master's astonishment, he felt the weight of his curse lifted from his soul, taken up by an unseen force beyond mortal comprehension.

With a solemn nod, the godkind accepted his offering, bearing the burden of the cursed magic into the realm of the divine. And as the Master's consciousness faded into the void, he knew that his legacy would live on, a dark omen awaiting the one who would bring about the end of days.

As the Master drew his final breath, a chorus of triumphant cheers erupted from the ranks of humanity. Yet, amidst the jubilation, a somber truth hung heavy in the air—the victory had come at a staggering cost. The battlefield lay strewn with the broken bodies of comrades and foes alike, a stark reminder of the sacrifices made in the name of victory.

For every life lost in the heat of battle, a ripple of sorrow echoed through the hearts of those left behind. Dreams of a better world, forged in the fires of conflict, now lay shattered and unfulfilled. And as the dust settled and the echoes of war faded into silence, a haunting question lingered in the minds of all who witnessed the carnage: At what price had victory been achieved?

Though humanity had emerged triumphant, it was a hollow victory, tainted by the blood of the fallen and the scars of war. And as they turned their eyes towards the uncertain future that lay ahead, they knew that the threat of the vampires had not been fully extinguished.

For in the shadows, beyond the reach of mortal eyes, the legacy of the cursed magic lived on. And though the vampires may have been vanquished from the battlefield, their dark presence lingered, a specter of doom waiting to rise once more.
