Is Death The Only Way To Escape?

(WPC has ended! I can see that this story isn't quite popular so I will discontinue it. I will probably come back again to clean it up.)
Smacked by a flower pot on his way home, Lucian Silverstein thought that was the end of his life. Full stop.
Yet, fate had other plans for him as he awoke inside his favourite game, "Night Falls" as a vampire. But his character was made to be one of the cannon fodders for the plot of the game, destined for death to illuminate the halo around the protagonists of the story. In order to survive, Lucien must avoid the red flags and any other flags that might hurry his demise as he tries to finish the game.
Will he be able to find the reason behind his second life as a vampire cannon fodder or will he ultimately succumb to his death?
