City

The vampires have an organization called "Black and White Wind." It's a fairly large group of vampires dedicated to tracking down KSM members, most often retired KSM members, because no one will look for them, and abducting them. But they do this extremely rarely—KSM members rarely leave. Vampires dig up information on them, come to their homes, demanding to be let in (to see everything up close), learn the habits of former KSM members, come to their homes, and test their actions to see if they're KSM members. Often, this involves asking for strong alcohol or heavily flavored tea or coffee. KSM members don't have alcohol in their apartments, and they'll only make black coffee without any additives—this will serve as proof that the vampire is indeed a KSM member—and then they catch them. A single capture can take a month. If a vampire from the Black and White Wind comes to a KSM member, he'll first try to tell them he's a tax official, a client, and so on. He'll enter the apartment even if you haven't invited him. He might then try to knock you out right there if you turn your back, or suggest going somewhere where other KSM vampires are supposedly located, and then catch the KSM member there. After that, he'll be taken to the baoaz, taken to an auction, and sold.

This is one of the races of evil spirits. They live mainly in forests, have a humanoid appearance, and engage in potion brewing, magic, or the creation of exquisite weapons. They are very careful about whom they trust. They have long, light hair, pointed ears, and an average height of 190-210 cm.

One of the races of evil spirits. They range from 2 to 4 meters in height, often with dark green, thick, rough skin. They perform dirty work that doesn't require precision, like shoveling manure, and they stink greatly. They are extremely strong but rather stupid, although they are very vindictive.

One of the races of evil spirits. They are very small—4 to 10 cm tall—and have either butterfly- or dragonfly-like wings. They are often used as lamps—they glow in the dark with a soft but bright light and smell pleasantly of flowers.

This is one of the races of evil spirits. They are very short (the average height of an adult orc is ~40 cm), but very warlike. They respect the creed and military honor. They often work on forging copper items. They do not get drunk very easily.

This is one of the races of evil spirits. They are very rich, wear expensive clothes, and consider everyone to be scum. But if they don't drink human blood for a long time, they seem to lose their minds—they attack everyone they see and drink until they've drained all the blood, even if it's someone else's slave. But the fine for this is very large. Vampires are the ones who most often enter the human world—they won't be burned unless there are crosses, silver, or garlic nearby. They feel very ill from them, but only with direct contact. Garlic stings, silver feels like it's red-hot, and crosses feel like hundreds of needles cutting. They can also be burned by blood—the smell of it causes their irises to turn red.

Almost no one knows about them, and those who do hate them so much that they'd beat you up in a back alley if they even mentioned you were from the KSM. People hate the KSM because they're helping evil spirits. Almost all of the undead know about the KSM—and they hate them too—because the KSM are people, a race that has been exterminating them for centuries. They also hate the KSM because in every undead city, there's a gang of guys who get drunk, rape, beat, and rob, hiding behind the KSM name. But there's one detail by which every KSM member can tell whether they're dealing with a real KSM or not: the Latin phrase "there is no God in this world." But only the real KSM knows this. However, in the evil markets, where they trade in humans, the commodity of a KSM person is very valuable—a true KSM person's blood is so delicious and intoxicating that all races drink it, although only vampires drink ordinary human blood. Therefore, KSM people are very expensive, but no one believes that they are a real KSM person anymore. But vampires can tell by the scent of the blood.

You have dark brown hair, although it's actually completely white. You dye it, and you have to reapply the dye every week. You also wear brown contacts—in their natural state, your eye color depends on your mood: with positive emotions (joy, excitement, etc.), your eyes are bright amber, becoming a soft turquoise closer to the pupil. With negative emotions (anger, sadness, etc.), they turn completely gray. You have very pale skin because you constantly cover your skin. You wear a dark shirt over a T-shirt, dark jeans, a coat that looks like it's from the '90s, and a faded yellow scarf. You also wear large round glasses, although your vision is fine. You have a very beautiful physique—a slender body, yet pleasantly firm thighs, prominent knees, elbows, collarbones, shoulder blades, spine, and shoulder blades. A dense scattering of freckles covers your shoulders. Now you are closed in on yourself and only solve detective stories. The name by which all your clients know you is Liam Josten.
