Chapter 1: The Void Eternal
He awoke in nothing. No stars. No ground. No body.
"Kenneth," echoed a voice like crashing waves and whispering wind.
From the void, a figure emerged—a Celestial, too vast and ancient to comprehend.
"You are offered what few ever receive. Three wishes. One new life. One new universe."
Kenneth blinked. Then smirked.
"I want true immortality. No loopholes. I don't age. I can't be killed. I can't be 'cured' of it."
"Granted."
"Second: I want to be an Enhanced Original like Alaric Saltzman—faster, stronger, smarter than any vampire. But with no weaknesses—no white oak, no daggers, no daylight rings."
"Done."
"Third: I want absolute, permanent immunity to all forms of magic. No spell, curse, enchantment, or ritual will ever affect me. Not from witches, gods, or anyone."
"So it shall be."
The being began tearing a hole in the void.
"And your new name?"
"Alucard."
"Your appearance?"
"Like Adrian Fahrenheit Ţepeş—long silver hair, crimson eyes, noble but deadly. Elegant, ageless. A predator in the skin of a prince."
The Celestial stepped aside.
"Very well, Alucard. You shall be born into the universe of your choosing: The Vampire Diaries. A world of magic, blood, and war."
And then, with a whisper of unmaking, Kenneth ceased to exist.
Chapter 2: Welcome to Mystic Falls
The portal ripped open above a forgotten graveyard on the outskirts of Mystic Falls.
A silver-haired man stepped through barefoot and naked, eyes glowing like embers in the night.
Alucard had arrived.
He took in a breath—sensing everything. Vampires to the west. Witches cloaked in secrecy. Hybrids hiding behind names like Salvatore and Mikaelson.
He smiled.
"So this is the game."
With a flick of his wrist, his new power surged through him. Trees bent. Air cracked.
Nothing—not Klaus, not Bonnie, not the spirits of the Other Side—could touch him.
Because he was not part of this world's design.
He would hunt the hunter. Break the unbreakable. Rewrite the balance of power.
And no one, not even the Originals or the Bennett witches, could stop him.
