Omg, I can feel the angst building up already, very delicious *eats your sneak peek*
Ahh the angst ☕
Stole this ask from another blog hehe ;"p
if the ROs were given a choice to choose between saving the world or saving MC, what would they choose?
sneaky anon >:)
this is a really good question, but because it will contain spoilers for some parts of the story, I will give simple, brief answers.
Aurelian: save MC without hesitation.
Elara: I don't think she could make such a difficult decision.
Kazuo: save MC. Loyal to the end.
Aiden/Ava: the decision will be difficult for them as well, and it will depend on the situation. They may choose to save MC, or remain with MC and face the same fate.
SC: save MC.
“I think you lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged, and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you’re living a different kind of life there. In a world inside you.”
— Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
ahhh I’m so glad I edited the main post. Now it looks much cleaner! :)

as some of you already noticed, the laidback/intimidating and independent/collaborative stats have been overhauled from the game. don't be alarmed; it was a decision on my part. i've decided to get rid of them because i didn't feel like they added much to the story in terms of flavour text and also, doing this gives me space to focus on enhancing the other stats.
as always, i truly truly hope you enjoy. a smaller update will be coming in the following weeks with tweaks to the relationships stats (and any other bugs found in this chapter). if you find any, feel free to report them in my ask box or email them to me at evertides@gmail.com. all my love <;33
DEMO (TBA) — September 10th
Aurelian Academy, the pinnacle of evolution within the supernatural world; the first landmark to be erected after the Dark Ages— the time where supernatural races still lived within the shadows of the mortal world.
You’ve been prepared to go for your entire life— all one hundred years of it. Being the youngest child of a ruling vampire clan didn’t give you much choice in the matter. Going to Aurelian meant taking the next big step in your immortal life; finding your mate. While also honing your skills that will later help your people.
Will you be able to prove yourself to your parents? To your siblings? Will you be able to uncover the mysteries that surround the ancient school?
Or will everything vanish as the midnight sun approaches?
Create your character. Customize your name, potential nickname, gender, sexuality, appearance, hobbies, and powers. (Note: The MC is a Vampire and is 100 Years Old.)
Choose from 3 Classes that your character has honed— Charmer, Shadow-Kin, or Warrior.
How does your character feel about humans? Are they simply ants that you don’t bother with? Potential allies? An intriguing conundrum?
Do you enjoy the modern world? Or do you miss the simplicity of the past?
Romance 1 of 8 potential romances. (With possible additions of polymances later on.)
Explore Aurelian Academy and uncover the secrets that litter the ancient halls. Just make sure you don’t miss class while doing so.
Koda Kingston [He/Him] — Bear-Shifter — He’s a mass of muscle and warmth, eyes filled with good humor and overall joy. Might not have a lot going on upstairs, but he’s definitely got the spirit. [Male MCs Only]
Scarlett Voltaire [She/Her] — Vampire — Cold as ice, ruthless to any that oppose her, with a flair of heated contempt at the people who annoy her, Scarlett is the middle child to the oldest ruling family within the vampiric race. [Female MCs Only]
Cyrus/Cyra Aurelia [He/Him or She/Her] — Phoenix — Heir to the Eclipse Throne; they’re the eldest child of House Aurelia, Founders of Aurelian Academy. They’re the pinnacle of what an heir should be: dutiful, strong-willed, and loyal above all else.
Quinn Grant [He/Him or She/Her] — Wolf-Shifter — An individual that’s been whispered about within the halls of your home; a prospected mate in the event that both your warring nations wish to unite. Now that you’re meeting them, you may be able to see if that’ll ever become a reality.
Caden Randall [He/Him or She/Her] — Phantom — Appearing on a random night five years before, they’re not exactly what someone comes to expect when thinking about a phantom: scared of their own shadow, fretful, and a complete neat freak. They’re tasked with ensuring your stay at Aurelian Academy goes smoothly.
Sloane Addams [He/Him or She/Her] — Wolf-Shifter — A wolf-shifter without a pack, disgraced in the deepest way possible, they don’t seem to be that overjoyed at the prospect of attending Aurelian Academy, but that doesn’t mean they’re not set on proving themself and finding a pack once more.
Blake Herrera [He/Him or She/Her] — Vampire-Hybrid — Your best friend (and potential FWB). With a flirtatious air, a rebellious spirit, and an affinity at finding trouble, they’re a vampire that takes a bit to get used to.
Reginald/Regina Presley [He/Him or She/Her] — Human — A scholarship student to Aurelian Academy; the first of many that may be attending. With a thirst for knowledge, along with a devil-may-care attitude, they’ll try their best to fit in. Of course, that’s easier said than done. As they’re the first human to ever be admitted as a student.
Hiya!! I'm so excited but i'm also a tad bit confused.
Is the upcoming update a rewrite or just a part 2 to the current prologue?
I saw the update post and I was like wait- didn't the prologue already get dropped lol. Am i mistaken or would you not consider what you already have, a prologue. or is this actually Chapter 1?
Either way idk but i'm so stoked😆
I understand why you're confused, and it's my fault for not explaining it clearly, lol. The upcoming update is specifically for the Twine version, which includes an improved prologue with added mc customization. Going forward, Unshackled will be developed exclusively in Twine, and the Dashingdon version will be deleted once it's released.
As for chapter one, it's still a work in progress, and I am aiming to finish and release it soon.
I hope this provided you with a clear explanation for your question! 💗💗
