Alucard

The last great war is a glorious memory for the Moniyans. The mighty Order of Light, along with the Imperial Border Guards, annihilated the demon strongholds of Moniyan Pass and the Barren Lands, driving the demons into the hinterland of the Forsaken Wastes. But for young Alucard, the war was only a terrible memory of pain and misery. His father's second regiment suffered heavy losses due to a solitary and reckless advance. Alucard's father went missing in the battle and was later declared dead by the Order of Light.

As they had disobeyed orders, the second regiment was not honored and praised for its sacrifice but called "disobedient" and criticized for its lack of discipline. This was a big blow for Alucard, who had always considered his father a hero and a role model. Facing shame and ridicule everywhere he went, the flames of vengeance burned in his chest and he became determined to bring honor to his father's name and eliminate all demons from the Land of Dawn. So he left his hometown and went to the ancient and mysterious Monastery of Light. As the orphaned son of a deceased soldier, Alucard was soon accepted into the Monastery of Light.

Over the next few years, Alucard studied various combat skills at the Monastery of Light. Thanks to his natural talent and unwavering determination, he quickly became the most promising student among his peers. During his training, Tigreal, the Commander of the Order of Light, who had once fought in the Second Regiment with his father, often visited Alucard at the Monastery of Light, teaching him various advanced combat techniques and telling him of his father's heroic deeds.

Tigreal was already famous throughout the Empire at this time, and Alucard greatly respected him, considering him a sort of older brother. However, whenever he spoke of his father's final battle, Tigreal always remained silent, his eyes filled with a wave of complex emotions. Alucard was skeptical that his father had died in battle. He was convinced that his father was still alive and waiting for him somewhere.

At the age of eighteen, Alucard finally completed all of his formal studies and preparations. Encouraged by Tigreal, he becomes the Arbitrator of Light of the monastery. He was ordered to go and eliminate demons and heretics hidden throughout the world. So he picked up his father's old sword, given by Tigreal, and left. In the name of his father, and fueled by his deep hatred of demons, Alucard quickly became the world's greatest demon hunter.

An unexpected incident occurred during a demon hunting operation on the border of the Badlands. Alucard was injured by a magical blade, sustaining a wound that could not be healed. Darkness took over his body from the injury, and his arm began to undergo a strange transformation... In order to prevent the mutation from spreading throughout his body, Alucard asked an old blacksmith to help him forge a pair of gauntlets. He was no ordinary blacksmith: he was a survivor of that fateful battle, a member of the Order of Light who covered the retreat of his allies alongside Alucard's father.

He recognized the enormous sword in Alucard's hand. After learning who he was, the old man told Alucard that the reason the Second Regiment had been forced so deep into enemy territory was because the high-level knights of the time were greedy for glory and too impulsive, leading the Second Regiment to become trapped in a tight encirclement. In a moment of desperation, Alucard's father led a few soldiers to cover the retreat of the main force led by Tigreal, then was overrun by a tide of demons and disappeared. He was the only survivor saved by Alucard's father.

After learning the truth, Alucard returned to the capital and questioned Tigreal about the battle and why he did not tell him what really happened that day. Seeing the anger that engulfed Alucard, Tigreal confessed the guilt he felt for abandoning his allies and the silence he was forced to keep at the request of his family. He expressed his willingness to make up for it in any way possible, saying he would give his own life if he had to. However, in front of Tigreal, who was once like a brother to him, young Alucard was entangled in a web of confusion. He couldn't bear to kill Tigreal, but he couldn't forgive her either.

For the sake of his father's honor, Alucard demanded that the Empire reveal the truth about the Second Regiment and restore his father's name. However, the knights from this battle had become some of the most powerful figures in the Empire. They refused Alucard's request and kicked him out of the capital. On top of that, the Puritan Monastery of Light was staunchly opposed to Alucard's unnatural right hand, getting him into trouble on several occasions and even calling him a heretic. For the longest time, Alucard's deep hatred of demons and his desire to regain his father's honor had spurred him on in his mission to serve as Arbiter of Light. But now, facing the Empire that had betrayed his father and a church that treated him with contempt, Alucard made an unthinkable decision: to betray the Monastery of Light and fight for himself.

Over the next few years, Alucard began wandering the Land of Dawn, annihilating demons wherever he went on his own terms and searching for clues to his father's whereabouts. His demonic right hand not only gave him great strength, but also became an unstable element that he was forced to hide under his heavy armor every day.

After a series of epic battles, Alucard became one of Moniyan's most legendary fighters. Soon, everyone knew that wherever demons were rampant, the dark right-handed demon hunter would undoubtedly descend from the sky and leave no one alive.
