The massive palace stood eerily empty. Vampires were known for their solitary nature, preferring to build their strongholds in remote wilderness or on cliff edges. They enslaved humans or other beings to serve them, and at the same time kept them as livestock for feeding.

Andrew reached the highest point and noticed the storm clouds gathering in an unprecedented manner. The last traces of sunlight were completely blocked out.

His brow furrowed as a terrible premonition gripped him. If sunlight were to disappear completely, it would be a massive advantage for vampires. But unexpectedly, the clouds parted slightly, revealing a blood-red light from the sky.

It was a blood moon, and during daylight hours, no less.

Andrew had expected a solar eclipse at most, but this was far worse: a blood moon that would amplify a vampire's power and brutality tenfold.

Realizing the danger, Andrew immediately rushed downstairs.

In the castle's bottom chamber, a brutal battle was already underway.
