  Summary

  When John sat down on the throne in the Gaol of the Stagnant Blood, he had expected to be there for a long while, maybe even forever. What he hadn't expected was to fall asleep and wake up in a strange world without Revenants or Lost, and filled with people who insisted they knew him personally. Wait... did that green-haired man say that girl's name was Seraphina?

  Or

  John gets transported to the world of Code Vein, gets drafted into a war he wants nothing to do with, becomes a Revenant and loses his memory as a result, becomes the Successor of the Blood, takes the world's longest power nap, and (kinda) saves the world of Vein at the expense of his own freedom. Then involuntarily regains his freedom as he's thrust back into his original world and has to deal with the consequences of his past actions, but with none of the memories to go with them.

  Familiarity with the story of UnOrdinary (up to episode 224) and Code Vein as a whole is highly recommended in order to understand the story, but you do you.
