Endless Shadow - Pro Quest

Endless Shadow - Pro Intro

What the world does not know is that behind the false tranquility of the Yartland lies the greedy gaze of extraterrestrial gods. As early as ancient times, the being known as the Crimson Mother had already planted seeds of corruption deep within the earth.

Now, those seeds have finally sprouted, and the long-hidden ominous force has bared its fangs.

As a member of the ancient Vampire, you have glimpsed a divine revelation—a terrifying vision of the Crimson Mother reigning supreme, with all living beings prostrate before Her, the world drenched in fear.

Yet, this vision does not crush your spirit. Instead, it sets your blood aflame and ignites an unprecedented fire within your soul—this power, known as the "Endless Shadow," is the latent potential buried deep within the Vampire's essence!

Determined to prevent this nightmare from becoming reality, you follow the guidance of your Vampire and return to the ancient domain of your kin, as seen in the revelation.

However, what you witness far exceeds your expectations—your brethren, the bloodkin, have all fallen under the control of the Crimson Relic, descending into the abyss, lost beyond salvation.

Under the sway of an unseen force, your kin devoutly worship the Crimson Mother as their true mother, willingly offering their will, power, and even the very foundation of their existence. Their bodies have long been twisted, leaving only hollow souls echoing in the void...

Meanwhile, the Crimson Relic, nourished by the bloodkin, awakens and transforms into the Primal Relic, radiating an unprecedented aura of dread. This Primal Relic will serve as the vessel for the Crimson Mother's true descent, bearing Her world-shaking power. Thus, all existence shall kneel before Her might.

As a child of Atl, you cannot stand idly by and let such a fate come to pass. Ignoring the murmurs of your kin, you break through the barriers of the Crimson Wraiths and destroy the altar, interrupting the ongoing ritual.

At this moment, the ancient Relic awakens. It summons a spectral avatar and attacks you without hesitation. Worse still, it devours your kin, turning their souls into its own power!

Facing such a formidable foe, you do not falter. Instead, the flame of life within you burns brighter than ever.

Dark flames coil around you like serpents, scorching every inch of your flesh and soul. These black flames tear into your enemy while mercilessly consuming your own body. Yet, your will remains unshaken.

Amidst the endless interplay of darkness and fire, you finally emerge victorious from the grueling battle. However, the prolonged combat and the excessive drain of power have left your life force nearly exhausted.

At this critical moment, the trapped souls of your kin—reduced to mere "Echoes of the Lost"—sense the call of your shared Vampire. They break free from their shackles and merge with your fading life force.

Bearing the wisdom and courage of their past, they offer you redemption with their final strength. The dark embers dissipate, replaced by fresh, searing crimson blood...

Reborn, you stand once more before the Primal Relic. The crimson blood within you boils, as if an unbreakable bond exists between you and It.

In a trance, fragments of ancient memories flood your mind...

In the dark ages of war against the demonic hordes, amidst blood and fire, some humans unknowingly stumbled upon a forbidden relic—a divine corpse tainted with deep crimson decay. From it flowed an eerie, sanguine power.

Desperate for survival, some humans—whether brave or foolish—drank of this blood, gaining power beyond mortal limits. They became the progenitors of the bloodkin.

Yet, this gift came with an eternal curse. They, and all their descendants, became unwitting puppets and beacons for the Crimson Mother...

This Relic is the very source and core of the bloodkin's curse. From its hollow shell, countless threads of damnation extend, binding all bloodkin across Atl, forcing them to submit to the Crimson Mother's will...

Now, it is time to end this—

To burn away the chains of this millennia-old curse!

The Vampire shackled by crimson shall at last be freed!
