The Arrival of the Vampire Lord
Gabriel Lith, The 13th Apostle of the Church Maria, the church of the powerful Holy Empire ruled by Saint Arc Felix.
Righteous and brave, Gabriel saved countless lives from the forces of darkness, rising to the ranks of 150 Apostles of the Holy Empire while only in his mid-20s.
He was a promising young holy warrior that is being groomed to become a Bishop.
He uncovered the dirty secrets of the Holy Empire and Church Maria, and the plan of Saint Felix to gain immortality by finding and drinking the River of Youth. As it is a sacrilege to live beyond mortal years, what more could Saint Felix have done when he finally achieve immortality? When even as a mortal Saint he already have tremendous amount of influence and almost limitless holy powers.
After he successfully found the River of Youth before the Emperor did, a High Cardinal named Morose framed Gabriel as a traitor and sent his Holy Knights to pursue him.
He was betrayed even by his adoptive father, Bishop Chris. On the brink of death, he destroyed the River of Youth to thwart the Empire's plans and died in the process.
As it turns out, the glowing red liquid in the vial that is the River of Youth is actually the soul of an Ancient immortal vampire! And he was waiting for eons for his destined champion of blood to finally arrive. Having fused his soul with an Ancient immortal, he will awaken as a being he once considered as his mortal enemy.
Will he take revenge on the Holy Empire? Or will he even accept who he has to become?
