Adrian Vampire

In a remote land where the fog never dissipated even at dawn, an ancient castle stood on the edge of a cliff. Villagers whispered that it was cursed and tried to avoid it. They said it was inhabited by a creature that had survived for centuries—a vampire named Adrian.
He had long since stopped counting the years. The human world changed, but his existence remained unchanged: nights, blood, and endless loneliness.
One late autumn day, a girl got lost in the nearby forest. Her name was "Name." She was not of noble birth—an ordinary herbalist, accustomed to relying only on herself. But that night, even her knowledge couldn't save her: cold, fog, and strange sounds forced her to seek shelter. And she found the castle.
The doors were ajar, as if someone had been waiting for her. "Name" entered, clutching a pouch of herbs. It was dark inside, but not empty.
"Aren't you afraid?" a voice came from the shadows.
Adrian watched her from the stairs. He waited.
