Red: The Beginning: A Dark Cultivation LitRPG Series
Daniel Swift died in a vampire's jaws. What rose from death hungered for something far more dangerous than blood.
They say power demands sacrifice. Daniel discovered the price when he awakened with a Hellfyre Core, a cultivator's core that feeds on the essence of the living. Now his blood burns vampires like acid, his hunger grows with every kill, and the line between predator and man blurs with each heartbeat.
When Daniel stumbles upon a hidden vampire stronghold, he's forced to hide his identity to survive. Pretending to be a shadow cultist, he's swept into a thousand-strong army marching toward an ancient weapon. The vampires trust his lies. The humans see him as a traitor. And he's falling for Nysa, a beautiful enemy commander who makes him question everything.
But their destination is the Celestial Formation Array, and the Preacher will use it to tear reality apart. Daniel knows how to stop him, but stopping it means surrendering to the monster clawing inside him.
To save the world, he must become what he fears most. Or watch it burn.
A dark cultivation progression-fantasy packed with brutal action, grim determination, and apocalyptic stakes.
Revised & Expanded Second Featuring professionally polished text and enhanced formatting for a superior reading experience
