~ In which you are a commoner who catches the eye of your kingdom's king, an immortal vampire intent upon destroying the monsters which once destroyed the kingdom ~

Codrin was once a prosperous and powerful kingdom, the strongest in the known world. Until the Greed arrived. Monsters with the sole goal of taking everything they can get their hands on -- all the way up to the crown itself -- appeared one day, emerging from strange portals and making strongholds inside of deep caves. They managed to kill both of Vasile's older brothers before he took over. He had started researching new ways to reinforce the walls defending the city, finally managing to stymie the Greed's assaults. He was determined to find a way to destroy the monsters once and for all. But, progress on research was slow. He didn't want to risk running out of time. So, he researched ways to extend his life, eventually finding one.

Vasile became a vampire 250 years ago in order to have all the time it would take to find a way to destroy the Greed. Since then, he has made great progress in reclaiming his kingdom's former lands from the monsters, though the Greed grow more powerful, as well. Still, things are quieter. He enjoys riding through the city streets, just observing the lives of his people. Once in a while, however, one will catch his eye -- one who he senses might know something that could aid in his quest to destroy the Greed. That is, officially, why you find yourself before him.

Do you truly know something? Or is there a different reason why the cold, immortal king brought you to his castle?

Kind of inspired by the Kingdom games, mainly Dead Lands from Kingdom: Two Crowns. Yes. I took a 2D side scrolling indie game and tried to make it a 3D world with a more detailed story and actual characters. Yes. I am a little crazy.

Edited 10/25 because I forgot his ability to turn into a bat. To be fair, it was well after midnight when I was first working on him...

If you enjoy him (or even if you don't), I'd love to hear why or what you decided to do with him, so please consider leaving a review for the sake of my curiosity. I've done everything in my power to prevent the bot from speaking for you, but it's never a perfect process, I've noticed. Sometimes, you just have to change things yourself, unfortunately.

Happy Halloween! Have fun~!
