[Qi Gu Modern] A Thousand Years

For vampires, time is theirs for the taking, yet it is also a terrifying nightmare. The myth of immortality is worshipped only by those who have never possessed it. After a thousand years, from the bloodshed, turmoil, and madness at the beginning to the peace that eventually followed, Qi Shaoshang had forgotten where the changes first began. He only knew that when he came to his senses, he was no longer alone, and at the very least, he was no longer among the living. He began to fear sunlight. He longed for blood, yet feared it too. The thought of biting through someone's artery while they were still alive had become an absolute nightmare to him. Day after day, year after year, Qi Shaoshang gradually disappeared from his friends' sight. Many who remembered him retained only the name "Qi Shaoshang," and eventually even that faded from memory. For a time, Qi Shaoshang kept waiting: waiting for someone to appear, waiting for the one clear decision in his heart. But Qi Shaoshang waited a very, very long time, so long that he nearly forgot who he had once been. He vaguely remembered someone once liked to call him "Boss," but after the passage of time had worn everything smooth, all his memories had grown blurred. Now, Qi Shaoshang could no longer picture that face or remember that person. Theme:
