Stakes 9 5 by Elijah Her at Inkitt

Summary

In a dystopian future, vampirism is hailed as a man-made cure for disease, hunger, and aging. But the so-called cure comes with a cost—sunlight sensitivity and violent, uncontrollable urges. IDUN Corporation developed a drug to suppress these impulses, but access is restricted to the wealthy elite. Kieran Sato, a former sweeper turned rookie vampire hunter, is thrown into a covert mission with Bulwark’s Squad 95. Their target? A prototype of Compound-SB, a stronger strain of vampirism disguised as salvation—one that promises enhanced abilities and immunity to sunlight. If released, it could create an unstoppable breed of vampires. But when they finally track down the prototype, they discover it isn’t a vial of chemicals—it’s much worse.

Author's Note

Welcome to this little novella of mine! Each chapter is around 2-3k words, and the story is a slow-burn dystopian cyberpunk action vampire rivals-to-lovers BL/MM (try saying that five times fast).

The main/pov character is a bit of a nerd 🤓 so expect some technical jargon in his narration—consider yourself warned.

I’m new to web serial novels, and while this is a shorter story, I’ll be posting a chapter every Friday. The prologue and first two chapters will be posted 02-28-2025. The story is completed at 11 chapters but there will be side stories 🔥 💕

This novella has themes some may be sensitive to or find triggering: Depictions of gore and violence. Depiction of explicit sexual scenes.

If you’d like sneak peeks, character art, updates on my other projects, or just want to vibe, you can find me on instagram: @smr.eh.writes

I hope you enjoy the story!
