In the twilight of an age forgotten by time, where myths stretch their sinewy limbs and stories weave their own reality, a world lies in a state of perpetual decay and renewal. Here, the passage of days and nights spans centuries, and the very fabric of existence is riddled with loopholes and shifting rules. Amidst this fantastical landscape, a lone figure awakens to a grotesque revelation: he finds himself entombed within a rotting corpse, the fetid stench of decay mingling with the damp darkness of his prison. His senses, dulled by the ravages of time, are pierced by the horrifying truth of his condition. Each breath he takes is a gasping echo through the decomposing flesh that surrounds him, each movement a jarring reminder of his grim reality. Desperate to reclaim a semblance of life, he confronts the macabre challenge before him: repairing his own decaying body while grappling with the enigma of his existence. His quest for restoration becomes entwined with a grander scheme—to restore a fallen vampire to his rightful place as a legend, a figure lost to the annals of forgotten lore. In a world where legends breathe and stories shape the very essence of being, our protagonist's struggle is not merely for survival, but for meaning. As he navigates through the realms of myth and reality, he encounters bizarre creatures and contends with the cyclical nature of existence. In this first volume of A Parasite on Life, follow the harrowing journey of a man caught between life and death, as he seeks to piece together his fractured self and restore a lost legend to his throne.
