Nameless King
Once all people received Souls and incredible powers. Some were lucky enough to obtain the Soul of an ancient and powerful creature, but fate was not favorable to all. The world began to change, and creatures evolved. But, it was not the beginning of a new era. It was the end. A couple of months later, a dark mist appeared and destroyed the world. It was a dictate of destiny from which no one could escape. Wain Norheim was the world's best assassin and the only one who didn't get a soul. However, he was destined to gain the power to confront fate. Escaping through a portal into another world, he unknowingly began the apocalypse. Even the world failed to expel him.
The Skirmish
A blood-stained statue in the shape of some ancient goddess appeared in the Vampire's hands. An eerie yet majestic aura emanated from it that could make anyone kneel.
"What is that...?" Raik muttered.
"Something that will absorb all the blood and greatly weaken the blood magic because of the influence." The Vampire replied with a slight smile on his face, "I don't see you bringing any girls with you, so you decided to pay with the crystal, right?"
"Yes. I must say it is my most expensive purchase." Black Sun Aristocrat said in a calm voice as his ring glowed and the crimson crystal appeared in his hands.
"Ohohoho." The Vampire smirked as he rubbed his hands like a merchant, "Great. It's what I've been waiting for, though, of course, girls would be a nicer option."
"Take it." Black Sun Aristocrat held out his hand.
The Vampire nodded, tossed him the statue, and took the crystal.
