7. Title:The Witch of Science

By: ERrOrDC404

A growing suspicion arises among the vampire community regarding the immunity of the Knights of Friedrich against vampire manipulation, attributed either to magical prowess or advanced technology. In their quest for answers, a faction of vampires ventures into the previously uninhabitable Badlands, discovering a clandestine laboratory concealed within its depths. This covert facility is bustling with sorcerers and scientists in the employ of the Knights and the Royal Kingdom. Led by Clara, a sorcerer with a unique proficiency in both magic and technology, they endeavor to devise a means for Queen Anya to withstand sunlight while crafting an arsenal of spells and technology for vampire empowerment, envisioning these resources as essential for the Queen's protection, including the ability to control or convert other beings into loyal vampire hybrids.

Armed with this intelligence, the vampire faction endeavors to seize control of the operation for their own agenda. Despite suffering significant losses, they infiltrate the secret lab, cognizant of their inferior numbers against the formidable array of sorcerers, scientists, and hunters within. Desperate, they dispatch a messenger to solicit aid from Count Dorian and his allies, seeking sanctuary from the impending onslaught by the Knights of Friedrich, who are swiftly advancing with their lethal anti-vampire weaponry.

Responding to the distress call, Mila hastens to their aid, only to find the lab already besieged by reinforcements dispatched by the Knights. Led by Dawn, the elite force is determined to breach the lab and rescue the hostages held by the remaining vampires. A fierce confrontation ensues as Mila thwarts Dawn's advance through the treacherous terrain. Eventually, with Dawn subdued and coerced into servitude, Mila gains access to the lab. Within, they encounter a scene of carnage, with casualties strewn across the facility. Clara, the architect of this bloodshed, confronts Mila, adamantly refusing to relinquish the fruits of their labor to an intruder, especially the potent abilities to create vampires and exert control over them.

Bad End:

Mila loses the battle and gets captured and tested on by the lab’s inhabitants, along with the remaining vampires stranded there. A few weeks after, Clara welcomes the Queen and Eliza to the lab to showcase a more robotic Mila, whose vampire abilities control those of the lesser vampires remaining as the Queen’s new army to defeat Dorian with his own bride.

Canon End:

After a prolonged battle, Mila defeats Clara and turns her. Clara then reports to the Queen that the matter has been resolved due to her weapons through a messenger and provides Mila the potion to grant her the ability to turn other races into vampire hybrids. Clara then becomes a pet as well as a tank that can take a lot of hits from enemies and buffs Mila’s offenses. 

8. Title: "The Legacy of The Huntress"

By: A. Walker

Mila will find a new contract posted, but this one appears to be a little different from the rest because it reads as such: "Greetings Miss Sinclair, I am Delia, an amateur historian of sorts, whose expertise lies in the history of famous vampire hunter clans, now your own is one of most renown even though it has not been active in a bit of a while. Even so, your current condition has come to my attention and I was wondering if the two of us could meet at the ruins of your old home in order to remind you of a couple of things from your marvelous past." Mila is suspicious from the start, the knowledge of this "historian" in regard to her loss of memory is worrisome, even so she can not afford to leave someone that knows so much unaddressed so she sets forth towards the old ruins.

    Arriving at the former HQ Mila finds the place as deserted as always, until she notices a piece of paper nailed to the grave of her mother, she goes to grab it only to hear a gust of wind approaching from behind, she dodges out of the way only to see the grave now broken in half by a towering woman holding a giant spear. The woman's visage is peculiar, she has a set of wings, but the feathers are both black and white, the same dichotomy being present elsewhere on her body: blonde hair with multiple black streaks, heterochromia in her eyes, one blue, the other red and lastly a broken halo above her head paired with a set of short horn under it. Mila rises to her feet and asks her attacker who she is.

    The angelic figure holds her battle ready pose, but answers Mila's question, revealing herself to be her guardian angel who was tasked to take account of her deeds until the end of her days. Well that moment has come already, but in spite of that Mila's soul will only be judged when there is no trace left of her in the world of the living, as a result Delia has been left waiting for hundreds of years for Mila to finally receive the punishment she deserves, eternal damnation for trampling all over her own legacy only to fulfill her depraved fantasies. The angel had enough of waiting and chose to let herself fall from heaven's favor and become a demon only to hasten Mila's arrival to hell's gates where she intends to torture her soul for the rest of eternity. Upon hearing the confession of the deranged angel Mila is taken aback, but only for a short time as she takes out her whip and readies for battle. 

Bad Ending:

If Mila is defeated, Delia will hold true to her word and will destroy Mila's vampiric form, dragging Mila's soul into the demonic realm where she will be personally tortured by her in a very ironic fashion. Delia will break her mind with constant sexual stimulation until the point she will remain only a husk unable to feel any sort of satisfaction from anything imaginable, at which point she will be transformed into a lesser demon forever subservient to the mistress that broke her.

Good Ending:

Mila is victorious and the angel finds herself flabbergasted at her defeat, reduced to a pathetic, crying mess on the ground, yelling about how she sacrificed her spot in heaven in vain. Mila starts feeling pity for Delia and in a rush of emotion she confesses her guilt for what she had done to her family, but also explains that now she has another one that she wishes to protect to the best of her ability and if Delia is unable to find any sort of virtue in that act then she was never fit to be an angel in the first place. The angel lifts herself from the ground, with a new look in her eyes one of remorse and apology which ultimately leads to Delia swearing herself in Mila's service. Mechanically speaking she will become a battle summon similar to Aeriseth where she will deal some damage and inflict the bleed status effect as a guarantee.
