All Chapters of BLOOD WAR: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 2: The Mark of BloodThe headquarters of the Valenfort Hunters’ Order lay deep underground, hidden beneath an abandoned cathedral left to decay since the last century.Above, the rusted bell tower silently watched over the city a forgotten relic from an age when mankind still believed in God.Below, their real world thrived built on blood, steel, and vengeance.Evelyn walked through the massive steel gates, her boots stained with dust and dried blood. No one spoke…Everyone averted their gaze as she passed through the long corridor lit by the cold white glow of fluorescent tubes.The Council Chamber awaited at the end and within it sat the three most powerful figures of the Order.At the center was Marcus Hale, Evelyn’s direct superior, a grizzled man with silver hair and a scar running down his left eye.He looked up as she entered.“You’re back,” Marcus said, eyes narrowing. “And I assume… you didn’t return empty handed.”Evelyn set the evidence bag on the table, charred fabr

Chapter 4: Crimson CathedralThree days after the incident in the northern industrial district, Valenfort was shrouded in an unnaturally thick fog. The sun no longer rose, only faint streaks of light struggled through the crimson haze. Panic spread among the people as new disappearances mounted. Blood-drained corpses were found across the city.The Hunters’ Headquarters had become a fortress. Every patrol unit was mobilized, yet no one dared speak the truth that the Blood King had returned.Inside the strategy room, Evelyn Cross stood before a holographic map of Valenfort. Red markers spread like an infection from the industrial sector toward the north, clustering densely around Crimson Cathedral, the ancient church sealed after the Great Massacre two centuries ago.Beside her, Adrian Wolfe crossed his arms, hesitation flickering in his gaze.“You really plan to go alone? Marcus will never approve of this.”Evelyn’s voice was hoarse but resolute.“I don’t need permission. Lucien left

Chapter 6: The Phantom of the Guild Three days after the massacre at the Crimson Chapel, Valenfort felt like a city strangled, a nightmare that would not let go.No matter the channel, every newscast repeated the same two words: “epidemic outbreak.”The Hunter’s Guild issued an official statement claiming a toxic leak from an abandoned industrial zone had caused the mysterious deaths.No one mentioned the pillars of blood. No one dared to say that half the city had seen the sky burn red like hell itself.In a small room at the top of a derelict apartment complex, Evelyn Cross sat against the wall, dim light tracing exhaustion across her face. Black burn marks still ran along her arm, the last visible proof of the Black Blood. Adrian Wolfe , shoulder bandaged, monitored the intercepted radio frequencies. “The Guild’s locked down the entire Northern District. There’s a two million credit bounty for anyone who turns you in, Eve.”Evelyn gave a faint, bitter smile. “Guess that makes

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

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
