Nocturne's Destiny
In a world ravaged by war and disease, Nocturne follows the journey of Damian Noctis, a sixteen-year-old boy struggling to navigate a reality where humanity's numbers have dwindled drastically due to conflict over limited resources. As the population shrinks from billions to a mere 2.8 million, Damian finds himself caught in a web of loss, mystery, and newfound powers.
Damian's life takes a devastating turn when his father vanishes without a trace, leaving behind a void that's further exacerbated by his bedridden mother, who suffers from the enigmatic "Eclipsis Disease." This affliction, shrouded in intrigue, has claimed countless lives, including that of a car driver who collides with Damian, an accident that miraculously spares Damian's life.
Hospitalized and on the brink of homelessness due to his mother's lack of insurance, Damian's world spirals further into chaos. As he limps back to his apartment on a rainy day, he's haunted by memories of his father's disappearance and the bittersweet promise he made to return. Resentment towards his father grows, echoed by the poignant quote: "He took his love away twice—once as a father, and then as a husband."
In the midst of his struggles, Damian's life takes an unexpected turn. Unconscious on his apartment floor, he experiences a surreal encounter—a voice that resonates with familiarity, guiding him to revelations about his true heritage. Damian's father, confessing from beyond the grave, discloses a secret that shatters Damian's perception of reality: his father was a vampire from another world who escaped to forge a new life with Damian's mother.
The message continues, revealing that Damian's own powers are awakening—hinting at the emergence of his vampiric lineage. A carefully devised system, established by his father, promises to aid Damian as he navigates these newfound abilities. With cryptic hints about evolution and becoming a vampire, Damian's father leaves him with a singular directive: absolute secrecy, even from his own mother.
As Damian awakens, lying on the floor, he utters a bewildered "wtf?" His journey unfolds in a captivating way, intertwining themes of loss, self-discovery, and the intricate layers of a post-apocalyptic world. As Damian grapples with his past, unravels his father's secrets, and learns to wield his nascent powers, he becomes a symbol of resilience in a world on the brink of transformation. The tale invites readers to join Damian as he confronts his destiny and uncovers the truth that can shape the fate of humanity itself.
