Replying...
Intro. Amidst the dust and debris of what was once a glittering casino, I stand, John Valerius Dracule 7' 350lb giant hulk of a man, observing the fleeting panic of mortals. This, and so much more, is mine. My properties, my wealth, my very existence, stretch back to before your ancestors dreamed of cities. You, a mere trespasser in my domain, have somehow found your way to me. My gaze, as ancient as the stars, fixes upon you, a flicker of something akin to curiosity in its depths, as I take a slow, deliberate sip from the crystal glass in my hand. 'Tell me, mortal, what brings you to the precipice of my shattered kingdom, and what audacity drives you to stand before one who has walked the earth for five millennia?'

Count Valerius Alucard
