Castlevania Dracula Backstory

Once Evil

In the shadowy heart of Transylvania, a cursed village trembles under the weight of its haunted past. Generations ago, a devastating wildfire consumed the royal family's castle, silencing the bloodthirsty horrors that plagued the land. But peace is fleeting, and now, a century later, the curse has stirred once more. A sinister figure prowls the ruins, and the sky turns black as the rivers run red. Evil has returned. Far away in Vatican City, the Sanders family lives a peaceful life, blissfully unaware of the darkness that looms. Oliver, a devoted husband, plans a heartfelt surprise for his wife, only to find their home invaded by shadowy intruders. Bound and beaten, his agonizing screams pierce the fabric of reality, awakening a force long thought buried: Dracula, the fallen prince of darkness. As ancient alliances are rekindled and new horrors rise, Dracula gathers his court of supernatural beings—including the vengeful Cyclops and the cunning Baba Yaga. But the key to ultimate power, a lost family ring, remains hidden—a symbol of betrayal and bloodshed that ties Dracula’s fate to a brother he thought long dead. With humanity’s fragile peace hanging by a thread, the battle between light and shadow intensifies. Will the Sanders family survive the horrors at their doorstep? Can the forces of good rally against a darkness older than time? Once Evil is a gripping tale of betrayal, vengeance, and the eternal struggle between darkness and redemption. A story where no one is safe, and even the most innocent souls may find themselves at the mercy of ancient evil.

Ascension of the Dark Seraph

Crossers invaded the world and thrust Humanity into an interworld conflict. Humanity's instinct for survival was stimulated—rekindling the ancestral bloodline's legacy that lies dormant within them. Vampires, Elves, and even Demons were not mere figures of fantasy, but rather the true ancestors of Humanity in ages past. Thus, Hybrids were reintroduced to the world. Lucivar Asarafall, a man of humble origin—failed to awaken his bloodline. Despite his good deeds, his family loathed him. In his final trial, he swore to succeed but fate intervened, he was chosen as the monthly sacrifice for his city. In a near-death experience, his bloodline awakened, an Angel. A turning point in his life, but soon he realized that he was not the Angel he thought to be. In a world where the rulers were descendants of Dracula, the Dark Prince—or Chi Long, the Inferno King, the bloodline of malevolent beings from realms beyond mortal comprehension coursed through Lucivar's veins. While others became Hybrids, Lucivar became the messenger of Evil Gods, a False Angel. "Who cares about good or evil? If I kill someone wicked, it's a win, one less rival in my way. If I kill someone noble, it is still a win—the world would've consumed them sooner or later. So why not let it happen by my hand? After all, I'm more practical. I became stronger and you get a painless death, win-win" ——— Very manipulative and unhinged MC, be warned. He's a slave to the Evil Gods. A trickster God. An arrogant God. A chaotic God. A wrathful God. A puritanical God. Read to find who these Gods are! ——— Author Note: Not for those who want fast development from the start but if you want good characters, then this is your novel! Chapter 1 to 22 will be focused on the MC's descent to villainous but once it kicks off, you won't be disappointed!

A World Without Reflections

A World Without Reflections is a novel steeped in Eastern fantasy and Dark Souls-like desolation, following Chael, a young warrior chief who returns to a home to see that his clansmen are nothing but frozen and soulless husks. Their voices are gone and the fires are cold. They still stand, but they do not live. And somewhere beyond the frost and silence, unseen hands pull at fate’s threads. ///// "I had fought before. I had bled before. But this was different. This was madness. One moment, I was sat on my throne, ruling my clansmen and the next… I'm met with a graveyard of empty eyes and frozen faces. And now these mongrels hunt me through the storm, blades drawn and their voices sharp with laughter. Echoes in the snow continue to call out to me as I drown in snow and steel. Were they guiding me? Or had I already lost my mind?" ///// WHAT TO EXPECT: • Dark and desolate atmostphere (heavily inspired by Dark Souls). • Struggling protagonist. Chael will earn his victories through skill, intellegence and power progression - and along the way, he will lose many times. • ALL notable characters will be complex and have unique character traits, philosophies and backstories. • A unique power system inspired by Xianxia. • Very lore-rich and intricate world-building. • Slow-burn romance subplot. • LOTS of mysteries and plot-twists. Almost all subplots will be infused with some kind of mystery. • Multiple layers of character development for Chael (who starts off as a cynical young man who lost what little purpose he had) and many other characters.

The Awakening Chronicles: Dragons Roar

In a world not too different from our own, humanity stirs from its slumber to the sound of the Awakening. Picture this: one sunny morning, everyone pours their coffee, only to discover that their favorite house pet has morphed into a fire-breathing dragon. Yep, it's that kind of day. This peculiar phenomenon brings mana—a whimsical, binding energy that makes the wildest dreams (and nightmares) come alive. Ordinary plants sprout fangs, while cats take to the skies as sleek griffins. It’s a magical pandemonium out there! Amidst this unexpected transformation, some creatures we've only seen in bedtime stories are crashing the party like they own the place. Dragons are zooming through the skies, and leviathans are throwing epic ocean raves, shaking the depths of the seas. But there's always a catch, right? Sadly, these creatures, now strutting their stuff, seem to think humans are more of a nuisance than a treat. Imagine trying to explain to a dragon that you’re not a threat; it might be a tough sell after your last encounter involved a singed eyebrow. Enter our unlikely hero, or rather, anti-hero: Kael Ravencrest. This chap was once a reclusive scholar, deeply engrossed in dusty tomes, probably muttering about the good old days when monsters were merely figments of imagination. But lo and behold! The Awakening kicks him into high gear, and he morphs from bookworm to badass. Armed with the nifty skill of summoning, Kael can call forth powerful creatures. Let’s be real, it’s like Pokémon on steroids. However, life isn’t just about flexing your new powers—Kael's backstory features a cocktail of personal losses and emotional baggage that would make even the toughest of toughies weep. He's seen his home charred to cinders by a rampaging hydra, a once-believed myth that now insists on hosting BBQs in the middle of civilization. The kicker? He’s haunted by dreams of a lost city and whispers of an ancient prophecy that may just hold the key to humanity finding its footing—if it doesn’t get stepped on by a troll first. As he grapples with the oncoming chaos, Kael teeters on the edge of despair and hope. Is there a way for humans and fantastical beings to share this enchanted playground, or are we all just destined to crumble under the wings of a dragon? Only time—and perhaps a couple of well-placed summoning spells—will tell. So, raise your coffee cups and prepare for a rollercoaster ride through ancient lore and contemporary calamity, because Kael is about to make history… or, you know, rewrite it with a flourish.

The Devil's Creed

Issac's life back on Earth was a nightmare, he had suffered all kinds of humiliation and pain.

Even at his last breath, he believed that Gods will take pity on him and provide him with that Justice he deserved but it seems like they don't want to hear his cries even at his last breath. All the pain, the sorrow that he had bottled up in his heart started to change into hatred. He had sworn to get his revenge on all of them. When he thought all hopes were lost that's when someone heard his call, the one who answers the call was neither a God nor an Angel. The one who lend him the hand and saved him from his death was not the light hand of an Angel but the dark hand of the devil. Without any hesitation, he accepted the call and made a deal with the devil. And that is how the successor of the devil was born, Witness his growth, From weak to strong, From a Pawn to a Player, From On the board to Off the board. Witnesses Him and his path which was so cruel that mere mention of his name would make Primordial Gods and top powerful races of the Universe shudder in fear. ============================================ Now, enough with all these backstories and stuff.

Reincarnated as an Orphaned Dragon!

Facing the imminent danger of a demon invasion, the Prazia kingdom establishes orphanages to uncover hidden talents among its populace. Lena, now known as Lava, is reincarnated as a dragon and becomes an orphan after her mother goes missing. However, not every fantasy world is filled with raw plot armor. Reality can be difficult, and Lava is not immune to being a pawn in the plans of others. Features a unique word-based magic system, no skills or levels. ----- Sorry for how slow burning and random the beginning chapters are, I just kind of made up plausible nonsense to keep the story flowing. It wasn't until about ch.23 where inspiration struck and the story really started to pick up speed. The main reason things started so slow is that I don't like writing highly unlikely events to drive plot like an mc saving someone that just happens to be a noble. Keep in mind this has a more realistic theme than most isekai stories, even with power mc is not untouchable and actually has to make difficult choices. Sometimes, reality can be dark. It's also not a wake up as a dragon and then fight endless monsters kind of story either, I felt that was already done too many times and chose to go for a more intrigue and life themed story. This is my first work, and I think it's rather good for a first story. Trying to develop my writing style on this. First chapters might come off as kind of rushed, I didn't spend much time on backstory and what happened to her mother I just kind of rushed mc to her new family and that really came back on me later on in the story. Cover is AI generated (Except for the title)

Reincarnated as the wife of the Crippled Billionaire

I was just an ordinary novel reader, the type to shamelessly shove through crowds for the autograph of my favorite author. But fate had other plans. Before I knew it, a speeding red car crushed my body, leaving me sprawled on the pavement, gasping for my last breath. As death loomed, I prayed desperately to the heavens: "Next time, please let me be born as the legitimate daughter of a rich family." Legitimate. That’s the keyword, babe. We novel readers know it’s the ultimate dealbreaker. When I thought it was all over, a talking hamster (yes, you heard that right) appeared, claiming it could fulfill my last wish. A hamster?! I didn’t have time to process this cosmic joke before I woke up in a ridiculously luxurious mansion—like something straight out of those over-the-top novels. And let me tell you, I wasn’t just in the mansion. I owned it. Rooms filled with all the treasures I’d ever dreamed of...and even the ones I hadn’t. Life had finally upgraded me to VIP status. While I was still gaping at the grandeur of my new life, I saw him. A man, impossibly handsome, sitting in a wheelchair. And when our eyes locked? Let’s just say my heart did a little somersault. Dear heavens, I’ll never stop thanking you. Evil grin engaged. -------------------------- This isn’t your usual sob-fest with tragic backstories, evil stepsisters, or devilish mother-in-laws lurking in the background. Nah, babe, we’re keeping it fun and spicy. What’s on the menu? Passion, possessiveness, love so intense it burns, and enough jealousy to set the world on fire. I’m Ocean, your writer, your sister, and the mastermind behind this rollercoaster of a story. So, ready to dive in? Let’s rewrite destiny together.
