Castlevania Dracula Backstory

A Zoologist’s Guide to Surviving Magical Creatures

Author's note: Hi all, thanks for checking out my story .... Just to to clear the air. This story isn’t your typical chosen one saves the world by swinging a magical sword at the last boss type of deal. Nope. This is a heartfelt, occasionally chaotic exploration of magical ecosystems, quirky gods, and an unsuspecting zoologist thrust into a realm that barely understands the meaning of “stable biodiversity.” //What It Is\\ This story is a blend of -Adventure: We’re talking globe-trotting (or Mythica-trotting) to fantastical locales inspired by mythology and folklore from all corners of the world. -Comedy: Think less brooding hero vibes and more “Oh no, the dragon baby ate my shoe again.” -Fantasy: Mythical gods, magical creatures, elemental disasters—standard fare, but with a twist. -Mystery: There’s a deeper story here, unraveling memories, secrets, and betrayal that shaped Mythica. -Slice-of-Life: Yes, there will be moments of Carl trying to keep his sanity while arguing with a nine-tailed fox about proper table manners. //What It’s Not\\ -Grimdark: If you’re looking for morally grey antiheroes and constant existential dread, you’re in the wrong realm. This is more about finding humor and hope in the chaos. -Romance-Driven: Carl’s too busy keeping berserkers from wrecking Mythica to worry about swooning over anyone. -Hardcore Action Fantasy: Sure, there will be battles and drama, but this isn’t about slaying beasts for glory—it’s about saving them (and occasionally bribing them with snacks or whatever). //Who Will Like This\\ -Fans of mythology: If you geek out over legends from Norse, Chinese, Celtic, and other traditions, you’ll feel right at home. Nature enthusiasts: Conservation vibes? Check. Magical ecosystems? Double check. -Comedy lovers: Enjoy laughing at a poor intern’s magical misfortunes? Welcome! -Readers who enjoy quirky, wholesome adventures: It’s not about being perfect, it’s about learning, adapting, and growing. //Who Might Not Like This\\ -Readers craving high-octane action: There are fight scenes, but this isn’t “Battle Royale.” -Fans of brooding protagonists: Carl’s more likely to cry over spilled coffee than launch a monologue about his tragic backstory. -Romance-first readers: This story focuses on relationships, but not the swoony kind. ------------------------------ Carl Suis, a recent zoology graduate with a deep love for animals and a fascination with mythology, stumbles upon an ad for an internship at MECCP (Mythical and Endangered Creatures Care and Protection)—a mysterious organization tasked with protecting magical creatures. Desperate for a break, Carl accepts, only to find himself magically transported to Mythica, a fantastical world where dragons, mermaids, and krakens are real. What Carl thought would be a straightforward internship quickly becomes a whirlwind of chaos. His responsibilities go far beyond feeding and caring for these creatures—he’s thrust into solving ecosystem crisis, mediating interspecies conflicts, and navigating cultural clashes that no zoology degree could have prepared him for. And get this—none of the magical creatures are anything like what Carl expected based on the myths in the mythology books. Add in a series of increasingly bizarre situations, and Carl quickly realizes that this is far more than a job—it’s a test of survival. But it’s not all wild creatures and funny mishaps. With Mythica’s fragile ecosystems on the brink of collapse and MECCP under threat of being shut down, Carl must use his wits, empathy, and zoological knowledge to save not just the creatures he’s come to care for, but the future of this extraordinary world. Amidst the humor and calamities, Carl discovers that he may hold the key to preserving the very heart of Mythica… if he can survive long enough to prove it.

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!

You call this Beast Taming?!

In the bustling city of Xianxia, where mystical creatures roam and cultivators strive for power, Yin Fang stands out like a sore thumb. Unlike the tragic orphans with hidden legacies, Yin Fang's backstory is refreshingly mundane—he was simply abandoned at the steps of the Heavenly Lotus Orphanage. But Yin Fang has a peculiar habit: whenever he's surprised, he exclaims, "Holy Chicken Fingers!" It's an odd choice of words, but it's become his signature catchphrase. Perhaps it's his way of coping with the mundanity of his life. Everything changes when Yin Fang unwittingly triggers a celestial phenomenon—an otherworldly tribulation. Lightning strikes him not once, not twice, but thirty-six times. Each bolt of energy sears through him, leaving behind a strange mark on his skin. When the storm subsides, Yin Fang discovers that he has awakened the elusive Beast Evolution System. Now, Yin Fang must navigate a treacherous path. With no tragic past to motivate him, he faces a different kind of challenge: taming unruly beasts and forging bonds with them. His journey is filled with laughter, absurdity, and unexpected friendships. As he trains his newfound abilities, he wonders if he can turn his lack of backstory into an advantage. But lurking in the shadows are ancient secrets, rival cultivators, and a whole lot of beasts observing him in secret. Can he rise above his humble origins and become a true beast tamer? Or will he forever be the eccentric orphan who shouts about chicken fingers? Join Yin Fang on a whimsical adventure where lightning strikes, beasts evolve, and "Holy Chicken Fingers" might just save the day!

My Life As Kakashi In MHA

Formally known as: "Reincarnated as Kakashi in a MHA Universe" Status: Currently on hold Reason: A lot of stuff are happening irl I'm currently trying to focus on that, not to mention forgetting a big chunk of MHA story, sorry about that. So only when I'm free or not mentally exhausted I'll start continuing again bit by bit but till then please be patient Martin lived his usual life happily until he died of unknown circumstances and has the option to go to heaven or reincarnate into a random world with his memories intact. God as and apology let him choose how he wants to look alike and at the last minute he said that power in the next world also will be given to him randomly and wished him good luck. After he woke up he saw a white haired woman holding him in her arms and says "Hello there little Kakashi I hope you're feeling well." while a nurse came in and said "Here's your meal Mrs Hatake and then come to get checked." At that moment he realized that he was reincarnated as Kakashi Hatake. ____________________________________________ There are a couple of other Naruto characters there but not much unless the majority requests to add more. It starts as sort of like 'slice of life' genre but when the story progresses enough there will be action too. I'm pretty new to this and English isn't my first language so if you see a word written wrong or in wrong form please inform me please. I recommend to read the first arc before you guys review cause first 2 chapters are for his sort of backstory and then childhood until chapter 10. And no this will not start OP or become instantly OP after a few days of training. Also the cover isn't mine either it's created by WIZYAKUZA originally Anyways guys enjoy ^•^

A Kiss From Darkness

Warning… Matured content. “Look at me,” he commanded, his eyes boring into her like black pits of venom. Lilith’s chest tightened as she stared at the floor and the room seemed to shrink around her. “Dinner with the devil is one thing. Staring at the embodiment of evil itself…quite another.” Dracula’s smirk widened, his fingers squeezing Lilith’s chin. “Oh, and do I frighten you, little one?” His eyes burned into her, piercing her soul like daggers “You see now the truth of my power. You thought you could challenge me, toying with my affections as though I were some lovesick puppy.” Lilith sighed, because despite the darkness that swirled around her, she found herself unafraid of Dracula. “Now, look at me, and speak what you have beneath your heart,” he commanded. Lilith’s chin lifted with a surge of defiance. "Dracula Beelzebub. You are nothing but a monstrous abomination." she hissed, her voice dripping with disdain. "A fiend of the lowest caliber, unworthy of even a moment of my time." Dracula raised an eyebrow as he smirked, impressed by her insults. "And yet, you cannot deny that I am the most powerful being in this room." Lilith sneered. "Yo… You deserves to be banished back to the bowels of Hell." Dracula smiled, his teeth white in the flickering candlelight. "Ah, but where’s the fun in that? I much prefer making life interesting for the mortals." Lilith's hands curled into fists at her sides, and she took a step forward. “Interesting?" she spat. "You call torment and misery ‘interesting’? You are a demon, feeding off the misery and pain of others." Dracula chuckled, spreading his arms wide in a gesture of mock surrender. "And what of it? What do you intend to do about it, little mortal?" ~~~~~ Meet Lilith Raziel, a young, beautiful orphan who was born blind. However, when a mysterious creature appears in the woods, Lilith’s life is turned upside down. Her world shifts from darkness to one filled with mystical creatures and the secrets of the underworld. On the other hand, lurking in the shadows, lies Dracula Beelzebub, a devilishly handsome man who relishes in the misery and demise of others. Beneath his charming façade lies a dangerous secret—Dracula Beelzebub is the devil incarnate. And he has set his sights on Lilith Raziel, a woman he’s determined to ensnare in his diabolical plans. _"To love a demon is to have your soul bound in chains of darkness.” — Lucifer’s Inferno. PS/ Thanks a lot (Tearswithnofaces) for gifting me my first Golden ticket) Thanks.

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)
