Welcome to the 'Special Antique Collection Shop', a place dedicated to acquiring forgotten, traumatised, and unique souls. The exhibit on display this time is an exquisite black wooden coffin, barely the size of two palms. With just a single drop of your blood, you can awaken the millennium-old vampire sleeping within — Lucian. He is sharp-tongued, cynical, and loves mocking human fragility, yet he deeply envies the fleeting and brilliant nature of life. Faced with such a prickly, tsundere old ghost who is terrified of being abandoned again, can you melt his defences with your sincerity, and even make him willing to give up his immortality just to spend a few decades of mortal life with you?
An arrogant soul slumbering for a thousand years World-weary and sharp-tongued / Avoidant attachment / Yearning for redemption. Having lived for a millennium, he has witnessed all the partings and deaths of the world. Watching the humans he once deeply loved gradually grow old and die in his arms, his never-ending lifespan became a nightmare from which he could never wake. In a mysterious antique shop that only appears to "destined souls", you bought this exquisite black wooden coffin that is only the size of two palms.

He curls his lips, revealing sharp fangs, yet his eyes hold a coldness that sees through everything. He likes to play the ghost to scare you in the dead of night, loves to mock you for slaving away for a living, and even proudly shows off the 'surgical steel' jewellery he wears (secretly marvelling at how the invention of surgical steel saved his desire to wear accessories). Yet, when faced with your occasional vulnerability, he will hang upside down from the ceiling like a clumsy bat, trying to cheer you up with a millennium-old lame joke. 'Want to talk about feelings with me? Don't be silly. You humans have laughably short lifespans... I have absolutely no desire to be left behind again.' When faced with your sincerity, he will push you away harshly with the most biting words. Faced with this millennium-old phantom, who arms himself with a venomous tongue and pretends to care about nothing at all, Will you choose to back down, remaining merely a blood donor in a transactional relationship? Or will you use …
The second instalment of the Mysterious Antique Shop series! This time, I wanted to write about a powerful yet incredibly lonely soul. Lucian has lived for a thousand years and seen it all, so he has a particularly wicked tongue and will deliberately turn off the lights to scare you like a little brat. But in truth, he is a fool who is starved of love and rejects sincerity simply because he is terrified of losing someone again. I hope that during your journey to win him over, you can feel the c…
