Jahr 2056, in einer Stadt in der Region Yuan Jiang Su Jin. Auf dem Dach eines zerstörten, zertrümmerten sechsstöckigen Wohnhauses sitzt ein Teenager, der eine Kampfweste, eine militaristische Hose und legierte Kampfstiefel trägt. Auf dem Rücken trägt er einen sechseckigen Schild und ist mit einem Blutschatten-Kampfmesser ausgerüstet. Er sitzt schweigend am Rande des Daches. Zu dieser Zeit leuchtete der Himmel und ein erfrischender Wind wehte ihm entgegen.

In her first life, Daria idolised her boyfriend, Rain, and ignored the flying red flags flashed in her face, the dubious friendship between her best friend Molly and Rain shoved to the back of her mind because she wasn't going home and couldn't afford to leave. At least, that is what she likes to tell herself. Until she returned from work early, a string of strange news alerts of people attacking each other worldwide forced her sweet boss to send everyone home for the day. Fighting the crowds of others running home, narrowly avoiding what she knew was a Zombie only to find out that Molly had accidentally fallen on top of Rain, repeatedly for months in her bed. Had they so quickly forgotten that this bed was brought with her clean money in her house? Apparently not, and in Daria's grief, she had awoken the power to control lightning and found herself seconds away from "accidentally" killing her snake of a partner. The other end of the snake had snuck up behind her and knocked her out. Now they had her house, locking her in the safe room and removing all the food, water, and exit buttons. When they tried to sell her to a research lab, she managed to blow up her safe room and force the door to open. But when she ran the several long streets towards her mom's hotel, she was turned away at the door by her stepdad, and he watched her get dragged away kicking and screaming, never to be seen again. She survived another year in the research institute, closer to looking like a mental asylum, being injected and subjected to strange tests before it was overrun, and they were left to die. In her second life, she won't be so short-sighted, and her boyfriend, best friend, stepdad and the entire institute will die and become a part of her system horde and her twisted relationship with a fellow patient from her first life will set them on the path of revenge and victory.

In a world where the supernatural shapes the order of things, **Carl Joeblack**, the first original vampire, is reborn with a mission: to spread his lineage and prove that he is the ultimate hunter. Transported into a universe where vampires, werewolves, witches, and other creatures coexist, he joins **Velmora Institute**, a prestigious institution dominated by werewolves. But this place hides a darker truth: its true purpose is to ensure the survival of werewolves by promoting their reproduction with other races, as females are becoming increasingly rare. Surrounded by **ferocious alphas, witches with obscure intentions, and ancient creatures**, Carl must survive conspiracies and rivalries while satisfying his own thirst for conquest. Between **brutal battles, dangerous alliances, and forbidden passions**, he will face opponents willing to do anything to stop him from rising. But an original vampire never backs down—Carl is determined to leave his indelible mark on this world, even if it means defying the laws of fate. **In a universe where only the strongest dictate the rules, the Patriarch of Vampires will carve his name into history… through blood and desire.**
