Chapter 2: Shadows in the City of Lights

In the heart of Mordan City, Valarian's nocturnal existence collided with the pulsating rhythm of urban life. The dichotomy between the eternal night within him and the ceaseless city lights became a metaphorical dance of shadows and luminescence.

Valarian, with his ethereal beauty and antiquated charm, attracted attention, but in a world oblivious to the supernatural, his allure went largely unnoticed. He embraced this anonymity, choosing the cover of a mysterious philanthropist. Unbeknownst to the city, its nocturnal guardian walked among them.

As Valarian explored the city's underbelly, he discovered a clandestine society of supernatural beings who had adapted to the times. Vampires maneuvered in boardrooms instead of dungeons, and werewolves led double lives as high-powered executives. This twist added layers to the narrative, showcasing the evolution of mythical creatures in the Mordan Era.
