castlevania retrospective

Set in the medieval kingdom of Wallachia, this gripping narrative follows the life of Vlad Dracula, a revered nobleman known for his intelligence, charisma, and unwavering devotion to his people. . . . I don't own Castlevania or any of its characters, neither do I own the cover picture.

Three years have passed after the defeat of Vlad Dracula Tepes by the group of hunters led by the legendary Trevor Belmont. Despite this victory, his deathly mark upon Europe was irreversible, turning the vast continent into a desolate wasteland overrun by night creatures and rogue overlords. In the barren lands of Transylvania, Hector struggles to escape his checkered past as a Forgemaster under Dracula's service and the nightmare in Styria. Try as he might, he could never hide from the bitter foes who all desire his death for many reasons. Heeding the words of a powerful magician, Hector sought refuge in the Bahljet mountains, where he was taken into the care of twin witches Rosalie and Julia Laforeze. In exchange for his continued sanctuary, Hector must accompany the twins as they uncover a hidden world where magic and horrors intertwine. A fleeting opportunity for redemption awaits Hector, but the road ahead is marked with trials and tribulations the likes of which he had never encountered before... (This is an alternate continuation of the original show, so major spoilers).

In her past life, Su Yaoguang bought Xiao Yanci, supported his education, and helped him rise to great heights. She became his wife.

"This is the first time—and the last." That's what Asher Keating told her, cold-faced and buttoning his shirt, after one night he never should have had. Leah Sinclair was no one. A broke college student buried in debt after her grandmother's surgery, selling her evenings at a high-end escort club just to survive. She wasn't supposed to end up in his bed. He wasn't supposed to come back. But he did. After the second time and the third, Leah cursed viciously in her heart: "Damn man! You really can't trust a word men say." Many years later, Asher looked at Leah sleeping beside him and sighed to himself: "Sure enough, you shouldn't be with the same woman more than three times, or you'll really be in for it." Was it possession... or affection? A choice that began as a transaction but became true love, with only the wish... to never forget their original intentions.
