Dean comes to a realization that apart from espers- humans who awaken their attributes. They are Arcanists- human who make use of the power of belief- Arcana to manifest their wills onto the physical world. Not only that but Transcenders- humans who consume divinity potions at the risk of losing their sanity also exist. Now, Dean comes to the cold realization that his seemingly all-powerful and enigmatic time reset isn't as unique or All-Powerful as he had once imagined it to be. Now tucked in the midst of ancient forces that seek to break out of their seals or ruins, and various forces that fight for supremacy in a world where darkness itself is the closest thing to nature. Dean must make use of his cheat. The Rewind System to his advantage. Making use of his unique time rewind ability, Dean must outsmart his enemies, uncover the secret and lores behind the long lost epochs and most importantly.... Figure out the mystery behind his lost memories. 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 psychological and emotional effects of the return by death ability on the Mc. So don't expect the Mc to go 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, and 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 and all that is to be patient. This novel will be quite 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.

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?
