3 A.M Valenfor.
Above the city, unmarked aircrafts sliced through the clouds like silent predators.
Below, the entire Hollow Vein valley had been sealed off.
Towers of white light pierced the darkness blades of divine judgment ready to fall.
The operation “Black Blood Purge” , a top secret plan buried by the Hunter’s Council for more than a decade, had finally begun.
In the command center, Marcus Vale, the High Commander, stood before a giant screen, cold light reflecting across his stern face.
“Teams Delta-7, Bravo-9, and Echo-3, confirm the location of the Crimson Chapel. No one withdraws. Tonight, Valenfort will be cleansed.”
Beside him, Dr. Alaric Hemsley, the Council’s hematologist, adjusted a syringe filled with a thick, black liquid.
“We’ll release Serum Noctis. Once activated, it’ll spread through the air and destroy every vampire cell within a three kilometer radius.”
Marcus glanced at him sharply.
“And the humans?”
Alaric smiled faintly.
“They may experience… minor side effects. Pain, mild blood loss.
But that’s a small price to pay to make sure the Blood King doesn’t live.”
Marcus nodded, voice devoid of mercy.
“Initiate Phase One.”

Inside the Crimson Chapel, red light pulsed beneath the stone floor like a beating heart.
Evelyn sat silently beside the glass coffin, her eyes hollow.
Next to her, Adrian Wolfe reloaded his weapon, his expression tight.
“The comms are dead. The Council’s closing in. What’s your plan?”
Evelyn didn’t answer. The blood from her earlier offering still stained her hand glowing faintly now, as if something inside her had begun to awaken.
“Adrian… if they attack, don’t shoot.”
He froze, disbelief flashing across his face.
“Are you insane? They’re sending troops! They’ll kill everyone including Lucien!”
“I know…” Evelyn whispered. “But if I fight back… I won’t stay human.”
Adrian’s jaw clenched, voice trembling.
“Then what? You’ll just let them destroy everything?”
Evelyn lifted her head. The air around her felt heavier, her heartbeat uneven.
“No.”
---
Wind howled through the broken arches of the chapel as floodlights from the sky swept down.
Outside, hundreds of hunters in silver armor advanced red crosses glowing on their chests.
Marcus’s voice echoed through the loudspeaker:
“Evelyn Cross! By order of the Council, you are suspended and detained for treason! Surrender the Blood King and submit immediately!”
Evelyn stepped forward, pale light washing over her face.
She looked at the soldiers the same people who once fought beside her now aiming their guns at her heart.
“You don’t understand! Lucien isn’t the enemy!
It’s the Council that’s spreading the blood!”
Marcus narrowed his eyes.
“He’s corrupted you. The thing in your veins is a plague. Evelyn Cross is dead, only the Blood King’s experiment remains.”
The words cut deeper than any blade.
Evelyn’s fists tightened, anger trembling through her bones.
Behind her, Adrian raised his gun, standing beside her.
“If you want her… you’ll have to go through me.”
Marcus’s lips curved coldly.
“Then die with her, Wolfe.”
He raised his hand. A barrage of silver bullets exploded into the air.
---
In a split second, Evelyn yanked Adrian aside and a bullet grazed his shoulder, blood splattering across the wall.
She returned fire. The silver rounds cracked through the smoke, sparking off the hunters’ reflective armor.
Chaos. Gunfire. The smell of burning blood.
Above, sirens wailed. Serum Noctis had been released. A black mist seeped from the aircraft, crawling into the cracks of the earth.
“Evelyn! They dropped the toxin!” Adrian shouted.
She looked up the mist wrapped around her skin, searing it.
Her heartbeat stuttered. Veins beneath her wrist darkened to ink.
Evelyn collapsed, trembling.
ThenLucien’s voice echoed inside her mind.
“Black blood… the final seal. Once it awakens, you will no longer be human.”
She screamed, fighting to hold on but it was too late.
Her eyes flared crimson. Fangs emerged. Power surged through her body like a storm.
The air twisted. Blood erupted from the ground, writhing like living shadows.
Marcus stared in horror.
“Dear God… what is this?”
Dr. Alaric’s smile widened.
“The Black Blood, the hybrid lineage of Lilith and Draven. At last, it awakens.”
Evelyn opened her eyes. Humanity was gone.
Her voice came out raw, inhuman:
“You wanted a purge of blood?... Let me oblige.”
A wave of crimson burst outward. Dozens of hunters were hurled back, weapons melting in their hands.
The ground itself turned scarlet.
Adrian lunged toward her, grabbing her arm.
“Eve! Stop! You’re not a monster!”
“Get out of here!” she screamed, shoving him away.
“I can’t control it!”
But his words drowned beneath the roars and the clash of metal.
From within the bloodstorm, Lucien Draven emerged cloak torn, eyes blazing red.
He reached her side and gripped her shoulders.
“Enough. If you let it consume you, you’ll lose yourself.”
“I… can’t stop it…” Evelyn gasped, tears of blood trailing down her cheeks.
Lucien pulled her close, voice heavy with anguish.
“Then let me share your burden.”
He bit into his wrist, pressing it to her lips. Scarlet blood poured into her mouth, fusing with the black venom inside her veins.
Light erupted. The sky above Valenfort exploded in crimson fire.
The chapel was swallowed whole.
---
When the smoke cleared, Evelyn lay motionless on the shattered floor. Her body trembled weakly, the darkness gone, replaced by a faint silver glow.
Lucien knelt beside her, his hand gripping hers.
“You… saved me?” she whispered.
“No. I only held on to what was left of your humanity. But the Black Blood… has awakened.”
Far away, Marcus ordered retreat.
The Hunter forces scattered no victory, only dread.
“We’ve created something far worse than the Blood King,” he muttered.
---
Evelyn gazed at the cracked ceiling, moonlight spilling through the ruins. Her hand rose to her chest, her heartbeat fragile, half human, half demon.
Lucien lowered his head, voice solemn.
“The Black Blood has chosen you. There is no turning back now.”
Evelyn smiled faintly through the pale light.
“Then I’ll keep walking…until the last drop of blood runs dry.”

BLOOD WAR Chapter 13: The Wings of Sin
Chapter 13 The Wings of SinValenfort’s sky was aflame.A gigantic circle spun slowly among the black clouds, radiating a white light that scorched the air itself. Ash fell like snow; each flake was residue of blood, of soul.From afar, alarms shrieked across the city. Automated defenses had been neutralized. Holy radiation spread, forcing both vampires and humans with mixed bloodlines to collapse.On the roof of a ruined building, Evelyn Cross stood motionless, wind whipping blood and ash around her. In her arms, Lucien Draven lay motionless, his breath a thin thread, the gold in his eyes nearly extinguished.“Lucien… open your eyes…” she whispered, voice trembling.No answer came. Only the sky thundered, as if God Himself had descended.A strange voice rang inside her head, not Lucien’s, but Genesis.“You think you can defy the will of blood, Evelyn?”“You cannot stop Seraphim. Nor can I stop you from becoming me.”Evelyn gritted her teeth, black blood began to seep from the veins a

Chapter 12 The Flame in the NightSouth Reconstruction District, Valenfort 23:40.The wind carried the smell of smoke, burning iron and blood.From the ruined remains, Valenfort still tried to breathe, though each inhale was a keening groan.Beneath streets that once blazed with neon, only flickers of flame remained now coming from the crimson hotspots where those infected by Genesis had become half‑human, half‑blood beings, lurking in the dark.The Crimson Pact, an alliance of rebel vampires and outcast humans, had become the only force daring enough to enter.At its head: Evelyn Cross and Lucien Draven.---Headlights sliced through the dust, catching on Evelyn’s blood‑streaked face.She wore a scorched, torn black leather jacket; at her hip hung twin plasma pistols and a silvered holy knife now stained dark with her own blood.“Third hotspot. Forty‑two infected, twelve lost control,” Kael’s voice crackled over the radio. “Evelyn, don’t let them touch the source of blood in you, the
BLOOD WAR Chapter 11: Blood Heart
Chapter 11 – Blood Heart “I never died, Evelyn… I simply found another place to dwell.”Valenfort – Three days after the battle.Crimson rain had fallen for three nights straight.No one knew whether it was water or blood only that every drop left a dark stain on the stone, like the mark of a sin that could never be washed away.The city of Valenfort was now nothing more than a corpse still breathing.Burnt buildings stood in silence. The streets were so quiet one could hear the ashes fall.The Hunters had set up quarantine fences around the central district, where blood energy still seeped from the ground slowly, persistently, like a wound refusing to close.And in the cold metallic room of a temporary medical station,Evelyn Cross opened her eyes only to realize what was beating inside her chest...was no longer the heart of a human being.She tried to move, but pain surged from the scar on her chest, the place where Genesis had once merged into her blood.Then, a voice echoed insid
BLOOD WAR Chapter 10: The Rise of Genesis
Chapter 10 – The Rise of GenesisThe sun never rose over Valenfort again.Since the night Astra exploded, the city’s sky had been dyed black and crimson clouds of blood swirling like a dying beast. A column of energy pierced the heavens from the ruins of the research institute, tearing open a violet rift and open gate between two worlds.Genesis had been born.And it began devouring all life.---Hunter Guild Headquarters – 04:00 A.M.Alarms screamed through the corridors.On the central monitor, the map of Valenfort was almost entirely covered in red biomass. The entire northern district had gone dark.Alaric Graves, head of the Guild, stared at the live feed mutated creatures crawling out of the ground, their flesh overtaken by blood, ripping apart both humans and vampires alike.“Genesis has started releasing the blood contagion,” a trembling scientist reported. “It’s transforming every living organism into… Superior Blood thralls.”“There’s no longer a difference between human and
BLOOD WAR Chapter 9: Astra Research Institute
Chapter 9: Astra Research Institute The sky over Valenfort tonight was thick as ash. No stars. No moon. Only black smoke rising from the southern district, where the Crimson Pact had lured the Hunters away with a staged explosion.Evelyn adjusted her electric rifle, her voice cold and focused.“Seven minutes to infiltrate, twelve to extract. Astra’s system uses blood recognition no one bleeds in there, understood?”Kael nodded.Behind them, Selene checked her reflective armor, while two human agents installed signal-jamming devices.Lucien stood a few steps away, his black cloak fluttering, his face half-lit by the crimson glow of the city.“When we’re inside, I’ll take the main lab floor,” he said. “You, Cross, focus on retrieving the Genesis Blood data.”Evelyn met his gaze steady, but with a storm burning beneath.“Are you sure you don’t want to destroy it?”“No. I want to see what the Order created… before it kills both our worlds.”---The Astra facility was white as bone and s
BLOOD WAR Chapter 8: The New Blood Pact
Chapter 8: The New Blood PactThe rain fell without mercy, as if trying to wash something away from Valenfort. Forked lightning ripped the night, reflecting off the hundreds of iron-and-steel buildings that shuddered under emergency alarms. Newsfeeds lit up across the city: a mysterious explosion in the northern suburbs, suspected involvement of a pureblood vampire.Evelyn stood at the window of the ruined house, watching distant red lights blink like predator eyes.Outside, Lucien, coat plastered to his shoulders, hair soaked, talked with a group of strangers. They weren’t Guild agents and they weren’t purebloods, just survivors rejected by both worlds.“These people…” Evelyn said softly as she stepped out. “Are you sure they’re trustworthy?”Lucien looked at her, his gaze cold and deep. “No one in this world is truly trustworthy, not even me. But they want to live. That’s the only reason I need them.”A bearded man nearby inclined his head. “My name is Kael. Ex-Guild operative until
