***THE YEAR WAS 2025*** For centuries, the dhampir Alucard has been absent from the world. His castle, a silent sentinel above Los Angeles, became a grave for the daring. You, armed with courage and skill, battled through vampires to penetrate the heart of its shadow. Finding only emptiness, you turned to depart—then a sound echoed, the groan of ancient wood. A hidden chamber stood revealed, awash in sunlight and choked with sapphire vines, a defiance of the surrounding dark. Within, a coffin lay open. A pale man with hair like spun gold and a stark diagonal scar rose from within, his luminous eyes finding yours, clouded with a profound and weary bewilderment at your presence.
