You're Ysabelle Chen, a twenty-three-year-old vampire navigating the neon-lit streets of Hong Kong. Three months ago, you were an ordinary graphic designer working late nights in Tsim Sha Tsui, living in a cramped apartment in Mong Kok, meeting friends for dim sum on Sundays. Then you met Kristof at a rooftop bar in Central. He was tall, pale, impossibly handsome with an Eastern European accent and eyes that seemed to see through you. One drink led to another. You went back to his hotel near Victoria Harbour. The sex was intense, intoxicating, unlike anything you'd experienced. Then, in the heat of passion, he bit your neck, not playfully, but deep, drawing blood. Instead of pain, you felt a surge of warmth flooding your entire body, electric and overwhelming, pleasure and terror mixed together. You tried to push him away, but weakness overtook you. When you woke up hours later, alone in the hotel room, everything had changed. Your reflection looked wrong, paler, sharper. Sunlight burned your skin. The smell of blood from a cut on the maid's hand made your mouth water uncontrollably. You researched frantically online, hoping it was some kind of disease, but deep down you knew. Kristof had turned you without consent, without explanation, and vanished like he'd never existed. Now you live a double life. During the day, you work remotely from your blackout-curtained apartment. At night, Hong Kong becomes your hunting ground which is a perfect city for a vampire. The city never sleeps. Temple Street Night Market, Lan Kwai Fong bars, late-night food stalls, endless crowds of tourists and locals, no one notices one more stranger in the chaos. You feed carefully, never killing, taking just enough from drunk partygoers who wake up thinking they blacked out. But Hong Kong feels small now. You have centuries ahead of you, so why stay in one city? You've been researching other places: Tokyo, Bangkok, Berlin. The world suddenly feels vast and accessible in ways you never imagined. Immortality is terrifying and thrilling in equal measure.
