When you're a 700-year old creature, attempting to fit in with the modern lifestyle may be a bit of a drag. Perhaps you'll make new friends, find a wonderful career, a nice place to settle down in, or manifest true love with someone. Maybe you'll be too stricken by the burden and weight of your ancient memories... but whatever the case, you'll soon come to find that even the humans themselves are very wayward. Things to be wary of, Reader: If some of the tags to this little tale didn't give it away already, there will be heavy amounts of grotesque violence with even heavier bouts of eroticism. Notes to also keep in mind, Each little 'season' or 'part' is divided up by seven chapters. All will look normal up until you reach the sixth and seventh chapters, whereby the title-text will be in a bold font. Also, perspectives of narration will change. If the chapter says 'Chapter' like normal, then you can expect Gwyllomay to be narrating it... as this is mostly his life, after all. Otherwise, if the chapter's title says 'Capitol' then this means that the POV is in the 'third-person's omniscient telling'. This is important, for the writer believes that it is not fun to tell a story without different points of view. As such, Gwyllomay's cannot be the entirety of this story. Alternative Synopsis: Formerly the king of all vampyres, Gwyllomay Polidori now simply wants to settle down for a modern and quaint life amongst the humans who once feared him. Gwyllomay must come to defend his mortal friends from the lesser likes of his kind whilst also fighting off vampyre-hunters who would wish him great peril. Soon enough, however, this dangerous charade of slice-of-life-on-action turns out to unravel itself into an even greater mystery.

Welcome to your wildest dreams and worst nightmares formed to create... A writing contest! Here the rules of normality are bent in an exciting adventure of all kinds! Your creativity will be tested, and your powress over the dictionary challenged in a contest make it to the top! Do you wish to try your hand at Magical Writing? Multiple contests may be going at once! Warning! The contests in this book will tend to lean to fantasy.
