What is it like to live a long life spanning four centuries?
From the savage, brutal era of witch hunts to the modern society where humanity has forgotten supernatural forces, Anastasia, a vampire, has long grown tired of eternal life. The only reason she has held on until now is her elusive but still-living nemesis.
After painstakingly tracking him for more than four hundred years, just as her nemesis reappears and she is about to avenge her great hatred, a deliberate frame-up turns the wizards she once gave her life to save against her, condemning her in public.
Before the investigation has even reached a clear conclusion, the Wizards' Council forcibly drags her to the execution grounds and sentences her to the ultimate punishment in front of everyone, claiming it is necessary to quell public anger.
Anastasia gazes at these ungrateful wretches and gives a contemptuous, cold laugh.
More than four hundred years ago, she helped the wizards survive the witch hunts. Today, she can make them wish they were dead. As for the bastard with whom she shares a blood feud, letting him live alone seems to hurt more than killing him.
Hmph! The rebellious fools of the wizarding world don't know how to be grateful?
Anastasia: What a coincidence. My nemesis happens to be the natural enemy of wizards. Since that's the case, I can't be bothered to hunt them down. I'll just let them deal with one another.
What? The rebellious fools realized their mistake and are crying and begging for help?
Anastasia: I don't hear anything. You must be imagining things.
Later, everyone in the wizarding world knew Anastasia as a vengeful, coddle-me tsundere "player." But no one knew that this supposedly passive player was hiding an even greater secret.
Later still, the wizarding world officially went to war with their natural enemy, her nemesis, and Anastasia once again found herself in danger, driven by her obsession with revenge.
At that moment, the wizards were in an uproar: You can come after us if you want, but hurry up and release our founding ancestor!
Helena, the huntress who had pursued her for more than two hundred years, was furious too: You're still not letting her go? It seems you want to make enemies of the hunters' order, the church, and the werewolves.
Lydia, the wizard's adopted daughter who regarded her as a beacon of hope: The wizarding people will never forgive you.
Yekaterina, the vampire who had seen the world's wonders alongside her: Want to find out what it feels like to have every drop of blood drained from your body?
Doreen, the regent queen who looked to her for spiritual support: Carlovia is probably not a place you should come to.
Seman, the immortal empress who occasionally disagreed with her: Don't make me summon them. You know how dangerous they are.
Watching everyone do their utmost to rescue her, Anastasia remained expressionless, yet her words held a deeper meaning: So being a player has its perks after all. What a pity...
P.S.:
1. Since revenge is the main focus of the story, romance is not the central theme. Also, this struggling author has been influenced by some American TV shows, so the character relationships are relatively open by design. If that bothers you, please don't read.
2. Some of the main characters have lived for several centuries, so it isn't very realistic to expect them to be virgins. Readers who insist on that, please don't read.
Theme: When revenge blinds you, you become a slave to hatred.
