Crush and Burn

Ken lives a quiet, unremarkable life on the fringes of Aman, a devout religious nation shielded from the influence of vampires. A former orphan, he spends his days working as a server in a local pub, far removed from any supernatural danger. However, his mundane existence shatters when he is suddenly bitten and cursed by a vampire. Facing certain death, Ken is unexpectedly rescued by Agia Frederick, a formidable disciple of the Church who intervenes just in time to pull him back from the brink. Yet salvation comes at a steep price. To fully purge the vampiric curse from Ken’s body, he must engage in physical intimacy with Agia. As their reluctant arrangement unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that the powerful churchman harbors ulterior motives for keeping Ken close. What begins as a desperate bid for survival soon blurs into something far more complicated, leaving Ken caught between gratitude and suspicion. Whether this intense connection will blossom into genuine affection or be entirely crushed and burned remains to be seen.
