About The World Well: Blood of Caro
A Tale of Exiles and Empires
In the year R.E. 814, a quiet war of destruction begins in a world where ancient machinery intertwines with blood magic. Vampire nobles feast on prosperity built upon the suffering of common people. Standing against this darkness are two outcasts—assassin “4 (Four)”, burdened by his past, and sorcerer “Nomar,” trapped within a mechanical body. Though once enemies, they are eventually drawn toward the same fate, stepping into the truth behind their dying empire.
Their journey is more than revenge—it’s the final battle to rewrite a future bound by blood. Your choices will shape the story—will you wield memories as magic and expose the empire’s sins? Or become the very monster they fear most?
