Welcome to Under the Crimson Moon. A story that is probably gonna be the saddest I've ever made lol
The first part of the story follows runaway painter, Edgar Valden after he gets stuck in a bear trap in the woods and twists his ankle.
Fortunately for him, a vampire finds him and decides to take him in until he heals. However, he doesn't realize that until over a week later.

This is a FAN STORY of the game Identity V. Please keep this in mind as you read.
This story also contains ideas inspired by other creators, such as Victor/The Embrace taking Aesop/The Exorcist in as a child before leaving him. (Idea by Hakua123456).Under the Crimson Moon is heavily inspired by Season 9 Essence 1 of Identity V. Where vampires are a common theme. As such, design elements are inspired by the costumes to pay homage to the original source.The gargoyles were created by Snakey Snakerson (An online friend) and added with his knowledge.

This story also takes inspiration from Edgar's original story, where he uses his own blood for art. If you are discomforted by this, please do not read chapters 9-11 were it is heavily implied this happens.There are also themes of psychological abuse within this story. If you are discomforted by this, please do not read.
Under the Crimson Moon is NOT directed towards an audience that aren't able to handle triggering topics. Although it is not directly shown, it is made clear this happens within the story. (IE: Chapter seventeen.)

Hello! This is a work in progress! The comics will go over things not touched on within Under the Crimson Moon or just art versions of small sections from the chapters!
