“New world, new adventures… they said. It will be fun… they said.”
Those are the words of Ayato Nagatoshi, a sarcastic gamer who doesn't take anything seriously, who ends up in the gothic world of "Luminovia," where his favorite video game series, "Vampire Slayer," is set, even though Dracula was defeated two years ago.
After an unfortunate event, Ayato is summoned… not as a hero, but as one of the candidates for Dark Lord by the dark forces, to take Dracula's Castle, the epicenter of all evil.
The worst part: sacred objects damage him, and his only way to survive is through pure improvisation, poor resource management, and allies who are not exactly altruistic, starting with a Sarcastic Vampire named "Isolde."
This story was inspired by the video game series "Castlevania," as well as comedy isekai works like "Konosuba" (both of which are the main influences of the web novel).
The goal is to create a parody story based on the contrast between the gothic and solemn atmosphere of Castlevania and similar titles, with absurd situations or deaths so exaggerated that they become comical (through meta, dark, and absurd humor), as well as playing with various cliches from video game-inspired isekai stories, as well as the tropes of the series itself (taking into account that Castlevania has Action-RPG elements).
Featuring unheroic protagonists and dysfunctional allies, as well as imposing, dangerous, and elegant enemies.
