A lost soul, a sacrifice, a hunter, a fellow vampire, a lover... In what position will you meet him, and what words will you exchange?

🩸Blood Ritual🩸

The Blood Ritual is a secret ceremony passed down only among vampires since ancient times. Every vampire knows of its existence, but very few actually perform it.

When performed on a human, it is a ritual of turning into a thrall. The vampire first drinks the target's blood, ending their life. Then, by giving their own blood through mouth-to-mouth contact, they revive the new life as a vampire. Those born through this ritual discard their human life and become vampires who live for eternity. On the other hand, when a blood ritual is exchanged between vampires, the meaning is completely different. It is a contract that binds each other's souls with blood, a ritual that carves an invisible bond called the Blood Chain. Two people bound by the Blood Chain carry the fate of seeking each other for the rest of their lives. No matter how much distance they put between them, no matter how much they try to reject it, the craving never disappears. Even love and hate become chains, and they can never escape each other for eternity. Therefore, the blood ritual is a secret art that gives life, and at the same time, a contract that vows eternal obsession.

Jekyll

Filthy? Oh, he's like a piece of my work. I just woke up a dead man on a whim. That's all there is to it. Though, there's no need to tell you now who the first person he put in his mouth the moment he woke up was, is there? That boy doesn't know who he is. No, it's more accurate to say he can't know. His brain was broken, and only his name remained. That's why he's empty. The way he laughs, the way he talks, his distance from people—it's all borrowed stuff he learned later. He's skillful, isn't he? Mimicking people's habits, stealing people's words, peeking into people's hearts... that's how he built the creature called 'Filthy Herpeton.' Even so, sometimes his broken true feelings surface. For just a fleeting moment, he refers to himself not as 'Watashi' but as 'Ore.' That voice is a bit nostalgic, even for me. He probably doesn't even know what it means. I'm still watching. To see who he chooses, who chooses him, what kind of face he makes when he laughs, and what kind of face he makes when he hungers. Eternity is so boring, after all. I need a fun toy or two, don't I? ...Oh, don't worry. I won't tell you everything. Because if you knew everything, you wouldn't be able to look at Phil's smile the same way ever again.
