I aim to please 😊
Yup, that describes it pretty well!
I present to you, Menhrolith. (I'm typing this on my phone because webnovel doesn't let me view the advance chapters of my own novel on the laptop, so I won't make this too long). For full transparency to those who hate AI, it was used for the creation of this image, though I would like to emphasize that the method was notably diferent from what you might usually expect. Both personal friend and artist, Libetom, created this. First creating the entire scene rendered as a 3D blender model and then applied AI generation to it after to create the patterns and textures you now see. For more info about the process or even seeing the render back when it was exclusively blender, you can find that info in the discord. In general though, a pot of work was put into this and I hope you enjoy. It's the first art I commissioned for this novel but it won’t be the last. You can expect character portraits eventually as well!
Nope, the healers haven't fixed any more than previously. Both eyes were heavily damaged with one recovering notably more than the other. I'll need to go back and make sure the side was consistent though. I thought it was, but I'll give it another look, just in case
She made sure she was positioned behind Bessie and to her right so that the maid would be able to better defend her left side; even now with her darkness magic assisting her sight, Dahlia's left eye still remained particularly poor and she preferred to have as much coverage on that side as she could get. With that precaution taken though, she then began to analyse herself.

Yup, that was 100% inspiration for the leshy king design.
Dahlia recognised it instantly. This was a leshy, or more specifically, a leshy king. Leshies are nature spirits that inhabit plantlife and are typically cute, adorable, and oftentimes harmless, even if the little guys desired otherwise. Leshy kings were a different breed. They were nature spirits of entire ecosystems and unlike their adorable cousins, these guys were certainly capable of causing harm. In fact, judging by the current situation, it seemed quite keen on it.

Hmmmm, I don't know why... I edit links so they shouldn't expire either... I don't know but I'll post a new link here in case it behaves different in a comment. https://discord.com/invite/sQ4jpShWQe
Awwww, thankyou. I reallllly liked writing this scene and am even considering commissioning artwork for it at some point.
For visual representation I've always kinda imagined this somewhere between Link's first transformation scene in twilight princess and Vicar Amelia from bloodborn tbh
Without even realising she was doing it, the vampiress let out a terrific scream that tore at her throat and rang through the ruin's hallways. A wave of bloody and bone chilling mana filled the complex as well, and yet it didn't stop and instead grew more and more. What was happening now was almost akin to an uncontrolled domain, and the results had every surface coated in frost and every single crack seeming to start to leak blood as though the very earth was bleeding.

Post trauma cuddles are very important for all parties involved!!! And I'm very happy you're enjoying the novel and are having fun brainstorming and theory crafting for Dahlia's bloodline, it's definitely one of my favourite ongoing and continuously developing mysteries so it makes me super happy you find it engaging too!

In a world full of magic, monsters, and mysteries; Dahlia was destined to take part in events that would change history. ________________________________________ Having lived a life of an abused and isolated child, Dahlia only had her studies to pass time and her plants to keep her company. After having been forsaken by her family, it's no surprise that her whole life began to change after leaving her home and being introduced to society. It would only take a single encounter between her and a seductive vampiress for her to find a new start to her life as well as a happy and obsessive love. Now with their fates entwined, the two are bound to face not only changes in their own lives, but also changes that will redefine their era. Going from being trapped in a powerless situation, Dahlia now begins her journey as she discovers secrets about herself, the world, and slowly but surely grows into power and becomes someone that would shake the world. ________________________________________ Welcome to my first novel! I'm quite nervous writing this but also very excited! Going forward, I'm sure there's a lot I'll need to learn, but I hope you enjoy the story and journey along with me. This story is going to contain some serious and dark themes. I can't do a proper trigger warning list because I don't know how the story will progress, but abuse, violence, gore, and sexual assault are topics that will be covered. Credit to the artist who created the cover art. I couldn't find the original artist's name, but I would like to give credit if possible. If there are any conflicts, please contact me and I can remove the art.243 Chs 4k Collections
As mentioned in the authors note, please consider using the discord as I 100% plan to keep writing but I'm worried some people might not see what I put out in the future. If discord isn't up your alley, I understand and would just recommend to keep you eyes open for me in about a year's time. Thanks again though for supporting me all this time and I'm really glad you enjoyed the novel until now :D
