Chifuyu’s life is flipped upside down when he’s brought into the world of hunters and vampires. His tale will bring happiness, laughter, sadness, and pain to himself as well as those around him. A new journey begins. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com *** Hello to all those reading and thank you for taking the time to check out my series. This is my first story that I'm posting online and I am serious about writing Vampire Legacy to be the best it can be. Though I do need to make clear that the first 100-200 chapters will be a mix of comedy and serious arcs. This will be a fantasy action story just as much as a comedy/slice of life story until the true plot kicks in. I plan to go all in with the comedy, then when we get to a certain turning point, the breaks will not stop with 13 long continuous serious arcs that will go until the finale. This novel will definitely be at least 500 chapters. I hope you all stay and see what I have to offer. *The cover is fanart for the anime The Case Study of Vanitas. I’m using it instead of the basic book cover until I draw the key visual myself.*

In the technologically advanced metropolis of Lavi City, within the Solarian Empire, Alistair Kaelen is a seemingly unremarkable university student. He's also an INTJ – a strategic mastermind – and a top player in Aetheria Online, the world's most immersive VRMMORPG. While most players chase power and glory, Alistair is fascinated by the game's intricate mechanics, seeing it as a complex puzzle to be solved. He soon discovers that Aetheria Online is far more than it seems. The game's energy system, "Aether," is a veiled representation of real-world spiritual energy, and in-game actions have subtle, but real, effects on the player's body. Alistair, playing the obscure and underpowered "Voidwalker" class, begins to experience these effects firsthand, developing enhanced senses and an inexplicable ability to manipulate spatial forces. His investigation leads him to a hidden community of players who also suspect the truth, and to a vast conspiracy involving NovaTech, the corporation behind the game, and a secret world of traditional cultivators. As Alistair masters his newfound powers and unravels the mysteries of Aether, he must confront powerful enemies, navigate treacherous political landscapes, and ultimately decide the fate of a world where the line between virtual and reality is blurring. --------------- The writing style of this book was enhanced using AI tools, but the contents and ideas are mine.
