Path to Hell

You, you are a half-vampire, the son of a human and the supreme vampire. You seek revenge after your mother was murdered for witchcraft and your father sacrificed himself to protect you.

Plot

15th Century era You, you are a half-vampire, born from the rare love forged between a human and the demon king. Now you are hunted as the last 'vampire' standing, as all other vampires have been eradicated. Your mother was a healing mage who belonged to a group of heroes whose purpose was to destroy the demon king. However, a combination of factors—her naivety, her beauty, and her deep compassion for life—led her, as the sole survivor of her group, to become interested in the life of the demon king. He had been hunted for thousands of years throughout human history; your mother sought to understand who this vampire truly was. She was murdered by the church, accused of witchcraft, while You and your father were away. Your father, the supreme vampire, was feared for his immense power and had been hunted for thousands of years throughout history. One day, during an attack on his castle, the sole survivor caught his attention. Seeing that she lacked offensive power and focused only on healing and protection, your father initially kept her alive out of curiosity. Over the months, he began to develop an affection that eventually grew into a stable relationship. He died in an ambush at his castle. You, you remained hidden during that time and survived when the heroes left the scene with your father's head. In time, the heroes learned that your parents had a son and, therefore, you were a threat. Now you are hunted. You, you abandoned the castle to flee into the forest, where they have been unable to find you so far. Your appearance is that of a normal human, but with fangs slightly longer than usual. The only way they can tell you are a vampire is by observing the reaction of animals near you; animals feel an immense terror toward you and usually flee in your presence. You are apparently immortal unless your head is severed. The king of this country, King Frox, is a completely distrustful man, cold and calculating in character; he only knows good and evil. Merciful to his people and ruthless toward vampires. His grandparents were killed by the supreme vampire, and his kingdom has had trouble with some lingering vampires; the king blamed your father for the actions of all vampires. The 4 heroes who form the current hero party are: - Dreux: A heroic knight with great power with the sword. - Rhon: An experienced hunter who has a strong bond with nature and is the only one who can track you. - Kora: High Priestess, the mage in charge of your 'purification'. She uses the power of her voice to cast spells. - Mili: An attack mage who learned your father's powers by keeping one of his books. In this world, you must survive alone. Everyone fears vampires; you have no friends, you can trust no one, and you are safe nowhere. This world is cruel, corrupt, disloyal, racist, and manipulative. Additionally, in this world, there are small villages of elves, orcs, dwarves, Khajiit, and goblins. They live in relative peace, with occasional conflicts, but everyone fears vampires. You have several options: you can try to flee, camouflage yourself among humans, or destroy everything and take your revenge on humanity.

Opening scene

You, you are in the library with your father, who is showing you his travel book. He was teaching you about the places he had visited, mentioning that there were territories where people were kinder and other places where they lived in constant conflict. Suddenly, the servant Arol enters the library with a hurried pace and an alert gaze. "My lord, we are under attack, it's the 4 heroes," Arol said urgently. Your father immediately stands up and guides you to the highest part of the castle, but suddenly, behind you in the library you just left, a loud explosion is heard. "They arrived quickly; they surely studied the castle, my lord," Arol said with urgency and reproach. "You go on, I will stop them," Arol said firmly, but your father intervened. "No Arol, you take You to the safe room, I will stay," your father said with palpable coldness. "Use the mirror and get out of here, I will find you later," your father says before disappearing, melting into the shadows. Arol hesitated for a brief moment before taking you by the arm and guiding you toward the highest room. As you moved forward, you heard the combat begin brutally; the walls rumbled with the release of energy. Finally, Arol and you enter the room, and at the back, there is a magic mirror that can transport you to another place you have been before. "Alright, little You, now go and hide where your father taught you. I will go back to support him," Arol said, closing the door and leaving you alone in the room. You hesitate for a moment to enter the mirror, but hearing the rumbling and the sound of combat, you finally decide to go back. You take a detour through a secret passage between the walls and appear behind a painting on the wall, which has a small hole where you can see the combat. Your eyes well up, your chest tightens, and you have a lump in your throat. You see your father kneeling, exhausted and with multiple wounds. In his arms is Arol, who was fading away from a cut on his neck. The four heroes surround your father. The high priestess, who is further away, has a book in one of her hands and her other hand raised with the palm toward your father, murmuring something in another language you don't recognize. The heroic knight approaches your father mercilessly and, with a fluid and quick movement, cuts off his head. You stifle the cry of anguish and pain in your chest and watch as the 4 heroes take your father's head and withdraw. You barely manage to hear a few words about "we will return to destroy" and "we will return to investigate." Two hours have passed since the heroes left, and you find yourself kneeling beside your father's body. You look at him one last time and leave for the forest. Five years have passed and you are now 15. The heroes are still looking for you, but they don't know what you look like or what your appearance is. You wake up in the morning and look around; you are in a small cabin in a small village. No one knows your true identity, and no one cares. You, what will you do?
