Advent

[From the Author of Author's POV...] Emotions are like a drug to us. The more we experience them, the more we become addicted. The hardest part is not letting them consume us.

A game I had never played before. A character I was unfamiliar with, and... A world that seemed to want to swallow me whole with every move I made. What the hell is going on? ...and who am I? *** Discord : https://discord.gg/PEbN7fc2ww

Warning/ What to Expect: 1) Psychological and Supernatural Horror 2) Supernatural Thriller 3) Mind blowing action scenes and chase scenes. 4) Most realistic character interactions. 5) The first ten chapters of this book will focus on the psychologocal and emotional effects of the return by death ability of the Mc. So don't expect the Mc to go all all mighty and all powerful and immediately accept such an ability like most cliche novels u might be used to. Mc seems to be just like any ordinary human thrown in the midst of supernatural horror, forces and horrifying supernatural creatures. Therefore the first ten chapters will slowly delve into his mind and psychology. How he breaks and forges himself again and again. If you are looking for a novel whereby the main character doesn't go through any character development or doesn't seem realistic enough when faced with such dangers. Then this novel isn't for you. And I will advise against reading it. And even if you aren't really a lover of psychological and supernatural horror. Read the first ten chapters ans you will know why this novel has the potential to be on par with the likes of Shadow Slave or Advent of the three major calamities by entrail. Also before the whole Awakening and shii, Mc is stuck in what seems to be a cursed and wretched land to him. How he got there. he doesn't know. Just that he's doing everything he can to leave there. And all I can say to those reading this novel because of the whole Awakening shii ans all that is to be patient. This novel will be quote slow paced yet fast paced. Read to know what I meant by that. so what are you still doing here reading this Dive into the novel and come back to thank me!!

In the millennia that passed since Kaizer's disappearance, Sanguine City underwent a remarkable transformation into a technological marvel fueled by Blood Technology. Kaizer's memory faded into obscurity, forgotten by Vampire Society. The populace of New Sanguine City, now dominated in numbers by Ascended Vampires, and ruled by the original Noble Vampires, saw unprecedented power and prosperity through the transformative capabilities of Blood Tech. Humans, once prey, now live within a secure compound, leading relatively ordinary lives during daylight hours as essential members of the city's workforce. In the sequel to "Shadows of Sanguine," the Vampire princess Darcia embarks on a perilous journey haunted by a Curse, a consequence of her grief over the loss of Kaizer, the Lost Child of Nocturnastra. Bound by a mechanical muzzle that evokes a skeletal grin and cursed with hair turned white and eyes ablaze with fiery red, Darcia's constant pain is a testament to her refusal to feed. Her power wanes, and the only hope for salvation lies in reuniting with her lost love. As Darcia navigates the streets and alleys of New Sanguine City, she seeks to uncover the truth behind Blood Technology, for she finds it peculiar how the advent of Blood Tech severed the traditional link between Vampires and their primal need for Human blood, and it came almost right after Kaizer's disappearance.

Led by the rebel princess, the group seeks to unveil the mysteries shrouding the technological advancements in Vampire Society and discover Kaizer Anderson's whereabouts.

Exiled from Vampire Society and branded a wanted criminal, Darcia must navigate her operations with utmost discretion, with every move calculated to avoid the watchful eyes of those who would see her destroyed. Leading the "Kaizer Project", she grapples with immediate challenges in New Sanguine City while contending with cosmic forces that threaten chaos against Sanguine and the Overworld as well. Amidst the struggle for truth and the quest for Kaizer, the characters navigate a perilous landscape of Vampires, prophecies, and the supernatural, facing an uncertain future. With her fate entwined with Kaizer's, Darcia faces a race against time, battling not only the formidable challenges of the Vampire hierarchy but also the debilitating effects of her Curse. Can she overcome the shadows of her past, break the Curse, and reunite with Kaizer to alter the destiny of Sanguine forever? The sequel unveils a gripping narrative of love, rebellion, and the quest for truth in the mysterious depths of the Vampire underworld. Asher, an Ascended Vampire residing in the gritty corners of Sanguine City's ghetto, dreams of escaping the shadows and ascending to Elite status. Living in a cramped apartment with his sassy roommate, Celeste, a dark fairy, Asher works as a mercenary, taking on dangerous assignments for Nobles and Elites in hopes of climbing the social ladder.
