The Blood that binds us and the blood that destroys us

Klaus Von Reinherz x Blood Mage Reader

synopsis: being a blood mage in Hellsalem's Lot is a difficult life, trying to keep your identity a secret is even more complicated when joining a group of supernatural beings protecting humanity.

Warnings: Blood, Angst, kidnapping, murder, but it gets fluffy til the end

There are days you wish you could forget forever, days that can haunt you for the end of days. Your life was peaceful, hanging with your closest friends, the sun shining bright in the sky, the sky a perfect light blue, clouds streaked across the day. It was all perfect. That was... til the world turned red. The sounds of laughter were replaced with the sounds of death's silence. A monster appeared before you, Horns blazing with rage, eyes of hunger for flesh, and the features a half-human half-ram. He stood above your withering corpse. And offered you a deal you won't forget. He spoke in his perilous; and inhumane voice, " I ask of you, human. Thee shall bear witness to the reality that seats her. Shall you live with unspeakable power or die a meaningless death, not avenging the lives of those thee shall be close to you?" He asked with an offering claw hand to you. Carrying the cross in hand with the eye of a devil. With the once of your life, you reached your hand to the devil's cross. " And shall yee bond is offered, and a new mage is chosen, Yee shall by the anchor, and yee shall be your side till death rings."

And that's how your new and unspeakable life of a blood mage began, whispered among folklore and myth yet walks this very world in secret. Or at least try to. You arrived in Hellsalem's Lot, where monsters and humans coexist, and the closest to the alter world. You held your coat tight as you and your two associates trekked through the busy and loud streets, with a little boy with glasses and a tall skinny man with white clothing and a cocky attitude. " Are you sure you don't have a boyfriend? I mean, I can do a lot better-" Zapp said with a flirtatious smile; on his face. Leonardo stepped on his foot, making Zapp scream in anger and pain. " Would you stop trying to get your way with her?! It's obvious enough she's not interested in a pervert." Leo defended. It's adorable how Leo always defended you against Zappp whenever he has seen the chance to. Libra has been like family to you. They're kind and welcoming. Especially Klaus, your boss, the sweetest out of all.

You stopped walking for a second and turned to Zapp. " Tell me, Zapp, how long are you gonna keep this up? Cuz I'm bout inches away from slamming your head down into the concrete while Leo stands and laughs at your sorry ass." You lightly threatened. Your hand proceeded up into a deadly fist. Zapp quickly raised his hands up high in defeat. "Alright, alright, I give!". Your hand returned to its natural state. Sighing as you continue to your destination. The boys followed you side by side. Having a casual, not destroying the first thing they saw, a day off. The three of you were having to converse through the street. Till Leo came to a stop. His body stood still, vibrating off his body. He was shaking. What could he possibly be looking at? You and Zapp stopped and turned to Leo with questioning eyes. You spoke out foremost with concern, " Leo, is everything ok-" "Y/n, behind you!" He shouted in fear, pointing at a shadowy figure behind you. Before you could respond, the threat snatched you in its arms, you fought back, but it was too strong. He knocked you out unconscious. Zapp tried to use his Blood Dipper Style, but he threw him across the street. He ran off with our body on his shoulder. Leo stood there in shock, he was too fast to him to notice. Zapp got up from the group turning his head rapidly to find the monster, then he turned to see Leo still standing. " Leo, go, and inform the others! Tell them Y/n got kidnapped, and the monster's in pursuit." He nodded and pulled out his phone.

" Wait, Y/n's been what?!" Steven got up from his seat with his eyes open. " Y/n got kidnapped by some monster, and Zapp is in pursuit of chasing it," Leo said behind the phone. " Alright, we'll meet up with you soon just hang on." Steven quickly hung up and ran into the office. Klaus and Gilbert were both in there at the time. "Klaus, there's been a situation!"

Your eyes felt heavy, suddenly but slowly waking up to your new surroundings. Everything around you was red, the sounds of chains clinging from both sides, blood spread across the floor like paint splattering on a wall. Your body was chained against the ceiling, dangling you in the air, and the bruised pain; still remained on your cheek. Your eyes focus on what's in front of you, a black door open with a very unpleasant screeching noise. You cringe at the sound echoing to your ears. Two figures approached you, one with one big eye and dressed like a ninja, and the other was big in size, with veins in every muscle.

"Could this be the one?" the one-eyed ninja asked while his sharp blade honing at your throat. " Of course it is! when she walked past, the aura around her kept changing… like something dangerous was living inside; of her." The giant, muscular monster explained. The one-eyed ninja sighed, pinching his nose. " It better be. Otherwise, it's gonna be our heads." He turned his attention towards you, approaching you slowly while the blade was still at your neck. " Me and my… Associate have some inquiries for you, amongst the emergence of a devil that happened a long; time ago." He said, " Now you answer honestly; you'll get to walk out of here with your limbs attached; don't we will have to resort to more…" He grazed the blade at your stomach, and with one sharp strike, you screamed in pain, blood dripping from the thin, sharp cut.

" At this point, if I were you in this situation, I'd answer honestly." The other monster replied. " You're locked up here with us, and no one to come and save you." He finished with a crooked smile on his face. You had your head down, and hopelessly, you quietly laughed. " Oh? Something funny?" The one-eyed ninja asked, leaning his ear closer. " I'm not locked in here with you… you're locked in here with me…" Your voice became a menacingly frightening voice, and the air around you shifted in a small tornado. The one-eyed ninja took a step back, repeatedly diverting back, and his body began to tremble. Something terrible is happening, and they both know it. " Hurry up, and sound-" The sound of flesh splattered on the floor. The one-eyed ninja lay dead with his body parts separated. The muscular monster started to quiver. He looked around to see you freed from your restraints, your body covered in blood and metal sharpenings, Horns poking out the side of your head, blazing a dark pink hue flame. You have ascended from the bottom and stared deathly daggers at the muscular anomaly, your cold, vampiric eyes fired at him. "Let the massacre begin…"

Klaus and the rest of the Libra team have found the coordinates where your kidnapper had taken you. Klaus wasted no time when he got the green light. Before this, Klaus was deeply concerned about you when Steven told him about the situation, not only because you were his partner. It was because he started to have feelings for you. Since the two of you locked eyes, he could've sworn that his heart was doing backflips. But as usual, he didn't show it. Ever since then, there were times; when he wanted to get close to you. To learn more about you, your favorites and dislikes, the type of music you listen to, anything about you fascinated him. When you're not working or on your day off. Klaus always invited you to have tea with him. Or to go out and have lunch with him. He'll hardly pay attention to your story cause your voice existed just… immaculately. But till now, his heart is hurting, aching for your safety. And he's not alone. The rest of the team is also worried about you. Leo looked up like a mother. And now, he'll do anything to get you back safely.

The car stopped at the location, and everyone got out, ready to take on what was inside. But, the explosion took everyone aback, seeing the injured monster crawling out of the wreckage. The fire cleared as you walked out unfazed, and your arm blade flashed a sharp glow reflecting the injured monster. Instinctively your sword plunged into his chest, crashing into the dirt. The team stilled, eyes filled with dread and shock. The side that no one should see was out in the open. Everything told in myth was true, that you are a blood mage. Body covered with the markings of your enemies, your mind went fuzzy, slowly collapsing to the floor.

You open your eyes yet again, except surrounded by four white walls. I'm in a hospital... You got up from your bed. Sitting you against the pillows. You sighed remembering the actions that occurred. You wrapped your legs laying your head on the top of your knees. Damnit... it happened again... why of all times... The attention changed when the knock on the door was heard. You straightened yourself up and dried off the remaining tears on your cheek. "Come in."

The door opened quietly, and the bouquet of flowers was the first to see, waving it in front of you. "May I come in?" The man behind the door asked. You smile warmly, you know that voice, " Yes, you can." Klaus opened the door completely, walked in, and closed it behind him. He approached with his bouquet in hand. Sitting next to the bed, he gave you the flowers and sat in the chair. His hands folded in place. You knew right then it was about that. " How long was I out?" You asked.

"Three weeks straight, the doctor said you need to be bedridden for a while before returning to work," Klaus answered. You sighed and laid back on the pillow, staring at the white ceiling. "Y/n... Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, turning his gaze to you, Here comes..." I.. didn't want anyone to worry about me, let alone... to get wrapped up.. in my damnation" You started to break down, and Klaus consoled you, rubbing your back gently. " Shh, it's okay-" " No, Klaus, it's not." You sniffled," You all saw what I'm capable of, the type of disaster I'll do if I'm not in control... or worse..." He hugged you tighter but not crushing you." No, you are in control, and I trust you to be." He said warmly. Damnit, why does he know when to use the proper words... You shakily soughed, burying your head into his chest. " I just don't want anyone to be frightened of me," You admitted. Klaus took your face and took it to his gaze, staring deep into his green emerald eyes. " I'm not. Yes, we were shocked at first. Despite that, not enough to be afraid. If you had forgotten," He lightly chuckled, " This is Hellsalem's Lot. Every abnormal being, myth, and monster is normal to us. It's nothing that we haven't seen before." He finished. You gave him a small smile.

" You're right, I guess..." Klaus leaned his head in closer. Closing the gap between you, and gave a long, small kiss. You were shocked at first but gave in. welcoming his loving embrace. A loud cough drew your attention to the skinny figure standing at the door. Steven stood there with his cigarette in his mouth and leaned against the door frame. Klaus stopped the kiss and turned towards the window, too embarrassed to even look at you because Steven also knew that his boss had feelings for you. " Well, forgive me for interrupting, but the others won't stop nagging about when the time to come in. Zapp and Zed are also arguing, so it's best to wrap it now." You chuckled nervously, a pink tint flowing on your face. " Uhh, yea, can you... give us a second?" Steven sighed. It was already hard enough to deal with the others since you had been in a coma for weeks. You turned to Klaus, " Dinner and a movie?" He smiled back, his face feeling red. " Til you get out of the hospital."

hii, any anime recs similar to deadman wonderland?

Thank you for asking! Because one thing about meeeee? I loved Deadman Wonderland (as featured on this list). There are a few aspects that ultimately drove me to read the manga for a sense of resolution and, since I can't be sure what you liked most about the show, I've included a mixed bag that I hope you'll like! Since this is a specific request, some suggestions may be longer than the bite size recs I typically post.

For the Blood for the Sake of Blood

Elfen Lied (series)

Filed Under: “That first episode tho”, “I love the kind of women that will actually just kill me”

Coming out the gates with an Elfen Lied recommendation is probably ill advised given the controversial way the series has aged (I had to save it for last on this list). But if you're looking to sate the need for gratuitous blood and shock value from the new and interesting fates suffered by prisoners and Deadmen alike, this is probably the way to go. The story follows an escaped survivor of inhumane experimentation who leaves behind a trail of bloody and decapitated bodies. Such is the revenge of Lucy, the Diclonius female lead, who, in her great escape, suffers a debilitating injury that causes an interesting divergence in personality.

Sub/Dub | Prime Video

For the Mutation

Blood Blockade Battlefront (series)

If you liked the idea of the Deadman Wonderland fights spawned from the bloody extension of each fighters' body? Might be worth checking out Blood Blockade Battlefront. Not quite as dystopian as DW (and subsequently a bit more lighthearted), BBB takes place in what used to be New York where magic and monsters are policed by an underground crime fighting organization known as Libra. Members of the force tend to have supernatural powers that make them uniquely qualified to keep up with the nefarious forces that operate just below the surface of Hellsalem's Lot.

Sub/Dub | CrunchyRoll, Funimation

For the Desensitized Dystopia

Danganronpa (series)

Admittedly, Danganronpa can be a bit confusing to watch. You're just kind of dropped into the middle of the story and have to watch as a group of people (in this case, students) are forced to kill one another for the sake of living to see another day. Sound familiar? Without spoiling too much, I think Danganronpa shares a few other key ingredients with Deadman Wonderland which include fatal punishments, sensationalized violence (arguable), and an inescapable game.

Sub/Dub | Funimation, Crunchyroll, Hulu

For the Philosophical Question

Ajin: Demi Human (series)

Deadman Wonderland is interesting because there are several levels of conspiracy. Immediately, you have the POV of the everyday person who can spectate the prisoners at Deadman Wonderland. Then you drop down a layer and discover some of the dead or missing prisoners are actually in a fight to the death as Deadmen, something even high level prison guards aren't aware of but enjoyed, nonetheless, by elite members of society. Without spoiling too much for readers who haven't finished DW, we see, deeper still, there's an even more nefarious plot at play. It compounds the hopelessness the Deadmen feel as, how can you get help for a situation most people don't even know exist? It takes morality out of the equation when all those imprisoned are presumably guilty of crimes. It's why the spectacle of their suffering can be enjoyed by general onlookers. The Deadmen in G Block serve a "life sentence" for possessing a Branch of Sin, regardless of the crime that got them there which almost supports the idea that their power makes them too dangerous to be released. Subsequently the violence of their game and general treatment are considered in line for someone already dead.

I think Ajin hits a few of these notes by begging the question: what does it mean to be human? Similar to Deadman Wonderland, you see an overpowered derivative of the human genome that is oppressed by the larger, weaker population. Their humanity is in question but the cruelty of the other humans toward them show that anyone is capable of being a monster. I think Ajin: Demi Human explores different cause and effect of this phenomenon on human nature through the motivation and journey of each of the main cast of characters, notably: Kei Nagai, Satou and Kouji Tanaka.

Sub/Dub | Netflix

Unrelated but Kind of Related

Battle Royale (movie)

I know you didn't ask for live action but, if you haven't seen this cult classic, watch this too. Battle Royale walked so The Hunger Games could run and earned the stake of its own genre by the same name. I enjoy it so much that I included it even though it kind of broke my blue/red aesthetic for the list.
