Based off the Super Mario games, Disney's "The Haunted Mansion" and other resources. Ludwig von Koopa is not your average koopaling, but he's got it all. Very high IQ, loving family (even though they drive him crazy) of one father and eight younger siblings, his most advanced magic skills that no one could ever have, his musical talent and not to mention he'll be king very soon. Not yet, but soon. Two things are for certain though; the eldest 18 year old koopa prince is no longer a koopaling and he's had a normal life so far. That is until his last evening as a "mortal". One night Ludwig gets attacked by what looks to be a centuries old vampire koopa troopa and things have turned upside down. If no longer being out in the sun is bad enough; Ludwig has a much stronger thirst for blood and it threatens to turn both the Mushroom Kingdom and the Darklands into a haven for the undead. Even worse; an empire is out to capture him and do research on him. Whatever research that empire tends to learn about from Ludwig; it can't be good. Will Ludwig stop himself before he puts harm to others or give in to his blood lust?
