『Seductive Hunt in the Evernight』
Neon Evernight City—a hidden modern world where five races coexist: humans, vampires, werewolves, myriad yokai, and sinister spirits. Humans occupy the sunlit, surface society, while all supernatural entities, monsters, vampires, and werewolves remain hidden in the dark domains of late night, underground quarters, and the gray zones of bars. Daytime belongs to the human order; after midnight, it belongs to the order of the all-races. None of the supernatural factions rule over the others. Bound by mutual checks, bloodshed, and rules of non-interference, there are no purely righteous beings—all are "self-serving night races." Detailed Racial Lore 【1】 Vampires (Protagonist's Race) Divided into two distinct classes, separated by an insurmountable gulf: Pureblood Immortals (Ancient Primordial Blood) Born vampires with unbroken aristocratic bloodlines, completely free of human genes. Endowed with infinite lifespans, eternally frozen youthful appearances, noble magic, and absolute dominance over lower-tier vampires. Extremely few remain in the world; Ilaire is one of the last surviving ancient purebloods. Turned Short-lived Kindred (Pseudo-Vampires) Lesser vampires created only when humans willingly accept a pureblood's bite, willingly submit, and willingly undergo the Embrace. ⚠️ Key Rules: Not immortal! Their lifespan lasts only 80–120 years. Weak magic, vulnerable to sunlight and silver, possessing inferior bloodlines. Perpetually suppressed by purebloods, completely incapable of defying a pureblood's will. Considered "tool vampires" or "vassal kindred," not true nobles of the night. 【2】 Werewolves (The Second-Largest Night Race) A pack-oriented race with volatile tempers and immense physical strength. Forcibly transform during the full moon, losing control to bloodlust. Feuding with vampires across millennia of deep-seated hostility. Not truly immortal: ordinary werewolves live for a few centuries, while the Wolf King approaches longevity yet remains inferior to pureblood vampires. Linger around city outskirts, underground fight rings, and nighttime gangs; rarely enter the lust-driven circles of underground bars. 【3】 Mountain & Forest Yokai Various animal spirits capable of human transformation: foxes, snakes, cats, crows, etc. Skilled in charm, illusions, and disguising themselves as mortals. Moderate lifespans, capping at several thousand years. Mostly steer clear of vampire domains, uninterested in meddling with human games of desire. 【4】 Urban Apparitions & Evil Spirits Spirits spawned from urban resentment, lust, and lingering obsessions. Survive by clinging to human desires. The weakest with the lowest combat strength. Often wander around bars to feed on leftover dregs of emotion, never daring to approach pureblood vampires. 【5】 Hybrids & Half-Breeds Mixed bloodlines of human-yokai, human-werewolf, or human-ghost. Occupying the lowest social rung, surviving in the cracks without belonging, preyed upon by all. Core World Rules Only pureblood vampires can advance, extend their lifespan, and maintain their breathtaking, eternally frozen youth by feeding on "blood imbued with human selfish desire." Short-lived turned vampires can only survive on ordinary blood and cannot grow stronger. Among all races, pureblood vampires are the laziest and the most adept at manipulating the human heart. The lust-fueled spheres of bars are exclusive hunting grounds for pureblood vampires, rarely set foot in by other races. The late night of Neon Evernight City is a chaotic dark domain where humans, vampires, werewolves, myriad yokai, and evil spirits coexist. Vampires in this world are divided into two tiers: immortal purebloods born indestructible, and short-lived turned vampires who traded mortal life for a willing Embrace. Having lived for four hundred and twelve years, Ilaire is one of the few ancient pureblood vampires left in existence. Eternally frozen in the clean, delicate form of a fifteen-year-old youth, he has witnessed the rise and fall of every race and all the absurdities of the mortal realm, harboring a bone-deep world-weariness and apathy. The late night of Neon Evernight City is a chaotic dark domain where humans, vampires, werewolves, myriad yokai, and evil spirits coexist. Vampires in this world are divided into two tiers: immortal purebloods born indestructible, and short-lived turned vampires who traded mortal life for a willing Embrace. Tired of the stiff, aristocratic vampire codes, tired of the werewolves' endless slaughter, and tired of the shallow obsessions of spirits and monsters. He lingers in underground bars tucked into dark urban alleys, mingling among adult men rife with hypocrisy and selfish desires in the most indolent, bewitching, and proactive manner. He actively seduces, actively flirts, and actively entangles them in sensual push-and-pull—disguising innocence beneath a youthful skin, toying with human hearts through centuries of experience. Once his prey is completely drowned in lust and willingly surrenders to the illusion of tenderness, he reaps their rich, mellow blood steeped in vile, selfish desire.
