"My mother was my sister." Brooklyn, New York - The man who sat across the interviewer at the vampire bar known as the "Borges House" began his story with those odd words. Following the end World War II, the pallid SS officer traversed the globe to many a raging battlefield, leaving carnage unforeseen in his wake. The vampire of the battlefield. The wandering Hakenkreuz. Though his saga was passed down as naught but a stale ghost story, it was no mere urban legend. For he was Wilhelm Ehrenburg - hunted in absolute secrecy by the UN as a remnant of the Third Reich, enemy of the world, and one of the infamous members of the demonic Longinus Dreizehn Orden. And after over half a century, the time had finally come for him to depart for Japan in order to fulfill his most ardent desire. Humoring this interviewer he would have ignored or slain any other day was merely a whim birthed from the exaltation of the promised time drawing ever closer. That was the only reason our intrepid interviewer found him in a talkative mood. Thus, as he reflected on his life, Wilhelm grew nostalgic - sentimental, even - for the path he had walked. And when asked, he unveiled his past piece by piece. From the accursed blood that poisoned his very soul, to the blight wrought by the works of Mercury. He spun a tale of the day he awakened to the truth of his being, and of the woman who had the nature of Wilhelm's existence engraved upon her very being. "Don't you worry, I'm gonna tell you everything. From the first moment I met her, to the very end of our story."

Loved the original VN and think this one is well written too, but I couldn't bring myself to care about anything on display here.

Turned one of the most evil, vile and abject character i've ever met in a classic grec litterature hero
Truly takeshi masada was ahead of his time

A great addition to Dies Irae and its characters. I already expected great things and then the expectation was fulfilled. Masada is really great at what he does. Even though I haven't read the book that inspired the work, or rather the title has several allusions to it within the work, mainly the names of the characters. And certain moments the work reminded me a lot of Nasu's F/HA, for me it's clear how Masada appreciates Nasu's work, Claudia and Caren (F/Ha) are the same archetype of characters, they have several visual similarities and within the plot , the relationship Angra and Caren, and Bey and Claudia could not be more reciprocal with each other. While it contains these similarities, it's another story altogether, different themes and different approach to the narrative. It's more something that Masada did as inspiration than Nasu seems to, and obviously it's just speculation, but the similarity is such that it's hard to deny at this point. Bey is GOAT.
