Blood Saga

This visual novel is currently in development. Please follow for frequent updates on progress for each arc as they come.

Blood Saga was a manga first released in 197X, co-created by Neptune Donovan and Nino Rosario. Due to a number of unfortunate external circumstances, both creators disappeared and their work was left unfinished after its first arc, with only notes remaining of the planned future. A story about people finding love in an otherwise hopeless world, lost to time.

Using an advanced computer simulation, Donovan's brother Aries was able to re-create the manga into a kinetic novel, in hopes of finally realizing his twin's long lost vision...

This kinetic novel will have three episodic releases once each arc is completed, each being more elaborate and complex in both narrative and visuals to convey the passage of time. With the first arc being free.

The planned story arcs include...

197X-The Start of It All

It begins where it begins.

Hoping for a normal day, Oliver Brown's plans shatter with the sudden disappearance of his father, Jay. Digging for answers, Oliver and his brother Ruth enter the enigmatic Hermes Medical facility, only to be trapped when the building seemingly collapses. Stranded and separated, they're forced to trust strangers in order to survive.

Pursuing the elusive Tom Kattan, Oliver unearths the facility's sinister experiments: the Gorgons, reality-warping creatures that could trigger global catastrophe if unleashed.

As Oliver fights to escape the facility, save his brother, and discover the truth of his father's disappearance, he must unlock his latent powers to save the world from devastation.

198X-The Lost Continuation

Even when despair is the law, you're still human.

On a mundane summer day, Giru Shiva yearns to escape the confines of his uncle's library on Millenium Earth, and explore the World Tree's infinite vistas. A glimmer of hope arrives with Casey Diablico, an agent from the Giza Corporation, seeking a bioweapon known as Gemgan.

When Gemgan's embryo escapes to another world, Casey takes chase, prompting Giru to join in on a quest across worlds.

As the threat to the World Tree lingers, Giru's journey unfolds to both thwart Gemgan, and reach the mysterious realm in his dreams: Final Gateway.

199X-The Long-Awaited Finale

Always with you. Always with me.

A grudge drives Mondo Alighieri, his search for his father's killer leading him to become a mercenary. Along with his friends Sekai and Mir, he makes ends meet as a spy, a thief, and a killer, all in the name of one day getting even.

Soon, Mondo is sent on a hunt for the Numero Unos, a team of traitors to the Sun Coalition. Allying himself with Pluto, a man who seems to lack a past, Mondo discovers the secrets of the World Tree, and the truth behind the realm's dark history.

The end of the world is coming, the Requiem will be fulfilled.
