PROLOGUE- THE WORLD OF BLOOD DEMONS

Long before humans built great kingdoms or wrote their history in books, there existed another world hidden in the shadows of the night. It was a land where the moon shone brighter than the sun, where ancient castles stood untouched by time, and where silence carried stories older than memory itself. This was the world of the Blood Demons—a mysterious race blessed with extraordinary strength, unmatched magic, and lives that stretched across centuries.Far beyond the reach of ordinary humans lay the

Crimson Kingdom, a realm surrounded by endless mountains, dark forests, and rivers that reflected the moon like silver mirrors. Enormous castles, built from black stone and decorated with crimson banners, rose above the clouds. Every tower held secrets, every hallway echoed with forgotten legends, and every full moon reminded its people of the power flowing through their blood.The Blood Demons were not mindless monsters, as many believed. They were intelligent, proud, and bound by ancient traditions passed down from generation to generation. They valued honor, loyalty, and strength above all else. Their elders ruled with strict laws, believing that emotions could cloud judgment and weaken even the strongest warrior.

Among them were powerful mages, fearless knights, skilled healers, and wise scholars. Every Blood Demon was expected to protect the kingdom and preserve its ancient legacy. Those who broke the laws faced severe punishment, no matter how noble their family was.

Yet beneath the kingdom's peaceful appearance, darkness quietly spread. Ambition grew within the hearts of those who desired absolute power. Noble families competed for influence, hidden enemies formed dangerous alliances, and whispers of betrayal traveled through the palace corridors like cold winds.The oldest elders often spoke of an ancient prophecy written long before anyone could remember. The prophecy had been locked away inside the Royal Library, hidden from all except the kingdom's guardians. Few believed it was real, while others feared even speaking its words.It was said that one day, under the light of a rare Crimson Moon, two hearts would meet. Their love would become stronger than hatred, stronger than fear, and stronger than death itself. But every blessing demanded a price. The same love that could save the Blood Demon Kingdom also possessed the power to destroy it forever.Because of this prophecy, many rulers forbade their people from speaking about destiny. They believed that fate should never control the future. The kingdom continued its daily life, pretending the ancient words no longer mattered.But destiny is patient.

No matter how deeply the truth is buried, it always finds a way back into the light.On a quiet night, the wind carried an unfamiliar melody across the mountains. It was soft, beautiful, and filled with a sadness that no one could explain. The music drifted through forests, over rivers, and into the silent halls of the ancient castles, as though searching for someone who had not yet heard its call.

Far away, crimson rose bloomed beneath the moonlight, even though it was not the season for flowers. The kingdom's oldest guardian looked upon the rose with fear, for he knew the legend attached to it. A rose blooming beneath the Crimson Moon had appeared only once before—on the night the prophecy was first written.That same evening, the pages of the ancient prophecy opened by themselves. No hand touched them. No wind entered the library. Yet the faded ink slowly began to glow as if awakened after centuries of silence.The old guardian stepped closer, his hands trembling.

One sentence, hidden for hundreds of years, had changed.

It no longer spoke of two lovers.

It spoke of only one survivor.
