Most stories start the same way.

You either have the slum rat who claws his way out of the mud, drenched in blood and sweat until he becomes a god… or the golden child, heir to some ancient clan — fallen or thriving, it doesn’t matter. Either way, they’re destined for greatness.

Alucard was destined for death.

In the original Shadow Slave timeline, his fate was sealed: die in his very first Nightmare. As Rain’s adoptive older brother — just as close and beloved as the canon one — his tragedy was meant to end there.

But fate made a mistake.

Alucard survived the Nightmare he was [Fated] to die in… and the price of that survival was a path no human should ever walk — a path paved with death, sin, and horrors beyond mortal understanding.

To claim even a fragment of salvation, he must defy the destiny written for him.
He must face terrors that twist reality, monsters born from blood and hatred, and the sins that cling to his soul like chains.

This is the story of a man who should not exist 
a man who was never meant to defy fate
and a man who will do whatever it takes to protect the ones he loves

I'm really bad at writing synopsis so just read the story I promise it's peak 

some background info if you are curious 
Alucard is the same age as Effie and Kai 

Al is not a self insert he is his own character not me putting myself in the story and you can tell that pretty early in the novel 

there is a ton of unique lore and characters so if you're interested please read it

Guys I uploaded the dracula side story and decided on rewriting the last few chapters and probably rewriting the chapter where Alucard reacts to his runes since it doesn't show his grief enough (update I did finish rewriting it so now it's fixed)


Chapter 91 - side story's are out
