New story, just what to try out some of my ideas...I will do my best to make it good so please help me with your comments.

First entry:

I can't believe I am writing a diary but because of the last few weeks of unbelievable things happening in my life one after another I was forced to start writing to try and ground my self in reality before I lose my mind... or I did lose my mind or my life and this is the afterlife?.

So first things first, my name is Vlad Tepes...yeah I know Dracula is my name if you did not know, but that is what you get when you live in Balkan and my family didn't even know about that name is the name of one of the most feared men in the history of south-east Europe so I am sorry but deal with it, anyway back to my explanation I was born in the city of Travnik in Bosnia and Hercegovina during the year 1993 and the war was in full swing all around the country and I was the first born son and only child of my mother who after hard time of bringing me to life was left baren so my dad and mom did everything they could to give me a happy life so they have fled from the war-torn country as soon as possible to Germany in which I spent the next 35 years of my life.

Most of my life I was working in one of the largest construction firms in Germany since I was 18 and because of my lifestyle which is consistent of 10 hours of work and then going back to my mom and dad who are living with me in a small village just outside of Berlin proper so I did not have a lot of expenses and by the time I was 34 both of my parents have died in a car accident coming back from Bosnia after spending some time with my extended family who still lives in Bosnia.

For a full year I didn't know what to do and I was deeply depressed and wanted to end my life and a few time I almost did but in the end I got fired from my job so I started to re-evaluate my life and try to think of something to do with my self so I collected all of my saving sold my house and any other estate that my dad and mom have left me and then with few million Euros in my account I went and started to travel the world.

For years I was jumping from one country to another working odd job like few times as miner in South America then few times as a smith in North America for master smiths as an apprentice some times as a guide in wilderness of Canada or a fisherman in India and dozens of other odd jobs in as many other country as I could but all of that ended once I turn 51 years old and I have seen the writing on the wall...and that is that war is brewing and not some small scale war like in the middle east or some African warlord making trouble in one country or another, but a full-blown world war is coming so I pack my things and went back to Europe with a plan in my mind and a location to implement it.

First, to explain to you what is happening, Earth is overpopulated by a large margin in the year 2048 once I have realized what is going on the number of humans on Earth was close to 14 billion and climbing by the year thanks to medicine and cheap food, and if you don't know what that means or in which direction is world going well the truth is Earth will run out sooner or later out of room and people will run out of room for cities and farmland because of the bad weather is each year worst and going in that direction without stopping floods and sea levels are rising and few islands in the Pacific are gone for years now and no one is talking about that and fuel oh God the fuel crisis is going horrible few wars have already been wage in few places on Earth once someone discovers a new oil deposit.

So I went back to Europe and went to one of the few places in Bosnia and Hercegovina free of human influence and with my considerable bank account I have bought a large plot of land and just like some of the people I know from around the world I started to prep my self and my new home that I am building for the time when the world realize that this can't continue like this for long and war breaks out among every country and then between each city until civilization as I know it is gone and each man will be fighting for each other and then only after year or two will be me or him mentality among the survivors so I started one of the largest projects in my life.

In a cliff side near one of the smaller river that is going through my territory, I have then dig out a large tunnel network going deep underground thanks to the 2 car size miner class robots that I have bought from my friends in the south American miner company and to explain to you how my underground shelter looks like just imagine 3 football fields one next to another connected to each other with large straight tunnels some 30 meters long and you get the picture.

So once that was dug out I started to turn the tunnels into a living area by flattening each wall and floor into a nice looking area to make my work of turning the tunnels into a living space much easier and so I first started with turning the first area or the first football size area into my living space with a swimming pool, kitchen, work out space with weight lifts with similar work out machines to not turn into a fat blob of a man, then I made 2 large bedrooms for my self and any friends I could call to join me and then just in case I made 2 large rooms with military bunk beds inside of them with room for 20 people each to sleep in comfort, then I turn few rooms into storage rooms with canned food for 4 years minimum (for the posible capacity of 40 people) with many of them with fruits and vegetables inside of them and then I turn a few spare rooms into storage with kitchen appliances and flashlight and gas mask and sturdy cloths inside of them and any other equipment that I could think that can be useful.

For a full year I work my ass off to turn my first area into a nice and comfortable house and I could stop my work now and I could live for years without any problems( just imagine my first area looking like high-class apartment), but you see I had a plan in my mind and what I wanted my house to look like, so I started my work on my second area which will be my underground greenhouse to grow my own food and a nice swimming size pool to keep several different kinds of fish and crabs that I can hatch and feed with my surplus of grown food, and even one area inside for rabbits and chickens to have fresh meat and eggs any time I want.

My 3. and most important area of the house was the one that took almost 80 percent of my total budget because of the expensive equipment and machines I had to buy on the black market even with a discount from my friends from Russian mafia that I have befriended some ten years back, you see once I started the work on my house I had huge need for electricity and because I have bought land dozens of Km or Miles from the nearest village the only way for me to power my equipment was to buy a power generator, and so I did but one that does not use gasoline but uses water...yes a cold fusion reactor that generates around 2 megawatts of electricity.

Also I bought an industrial size 3D printer and massive amount of blueprints from my Rusian friends so that I can build any machine or item legal or illegal that I could build no matter what, and few massive truckloads of different metals and plastics and fibers so that no matter what happens I could build my self any item I need, like lets say one day I need a sniper rifle I could build my self one or some clothes then I use the synthetic fibers and make it, and I did use the printer to build most of my electronic items like the 20 something TVs and security cameras and the few databanks that have a capacity of around 5 000 000 terabytes on which I have downloaded massive amounts of books movies songs games and also the blueprints, so that I can build even cars in the truck size 3D printer and many other things so that I don't bring unnecessary attention from the government to my self.

So in short, first area is my living space with bedrooms, kitchens, computer rooms, hologram room, the workout room, even gun range with few dozens different kinds of guns and few thousand rounds of ammo, then I have the ''just in case'' storage rooms for items that I can use to replace any machine or door or table or any other item that gets broke and the massive fridge for keeping my food from getting spoiled then i have the Bar and storage space behind it for the few dozen different kinds of alcolocks beverages I like, with hundreds of bottles of vines and stronger drinks for if the need comes I can get drunk every day until I die.

The second area is for growing food like the different plants, fish, crabs, chickens, rabbits and spices I have bought with a large number of hundreds of different seeds and the last area is my cold fusion reactor with large amount salt water for fuel and the crap tone of metals and fabrics and plastics for making an item that I would need so that in the future after the world calms down I could make any item and trade it for something new from the survivors of the war that is coming.

Oh yeah almost forgot near the reactor room is my forge room because I have fallen in love in forging weapons and armors in my down times.

My project for surviving the war to come and the collapse of human civilization took me almost 10 years to complete and then once I was 61 years old the world could not take it anymore and so during summer of 2058 USA declare war and started to attack Canada, then days later India sent a large invasion fleet to shores of Somalia and then one after another country's started to attack each other and I was just sitting in my living room watching all of that happening on Tv and just shaking my head and could not believe that I was actually right about it and being heartbroken because I was alone during that time, you see I have called and ask most of my contacts to join me at my place and telling them that is safe but most of them had their own places and the rest of them went with their family to some of the other similar safe zones around the world underground or far from any country under attack.

But as I was watching the world going to shit during the winter of 2058 just a few short months after all of that started the first nuclear bombs started to drop all over Asia, and I could no longer take it because there I was watching on live Tv all alone in my house crying with a gun in my mouth thinking that humanity will not survive this, I don't want to survive this alone since I was 34 I wanted to die and because life is not fair and because of some stupid though I kept living all this time, but it is pointless, life is pointless I have to build a safe place thinking that I could save someone but it was not meant to be.

Once I saw the report about dozens of nuclear bombs dropping all over Europe, with one dropping just hundreds of Km from my home I pull the trigger and with the last thought on my mind cursing humanity's stupidity and hoping to see my family in the afterlife.

But then I have realise that even though I have pulled the trigger and I have felt the bullet pierce my brain and that I have died, I was still sitting in the same place in the same black underwear with a glass of Jack Daniels in my left hand but the gun from my right hand was not in my hand but on the table with a note on it stating.

'' I know why you did it, and I am truly sorry but try to enjoy your second chance''

''PS. you could save a lot of people now''

''ROB''

Yes, I got ROBbed by a Random Omnipotent Being and it made my body young again but not as I was but I was looking just like young Luke Evans, but if that was all I could understand in...somehow but apparently ROB gave me one more gift in the form of a blood-red armor with dragon motif on it with another note.

''For Dracula...your Armor''

''PS. you don't have any weaknesses''

''ROB''

I will not say a bullshit about how I understand the note or what it meant with the ''any weaknesses'' it took me almost an hour after reading the note to understand it and then I was cursing every ROB in the universe for giving me vampire power because I put two and two together after getting somber because apparently, it is not smart idea to gulp down large glass of Jack in under a second and hope to understand a message from all-powerful being who change my body and gave me immortal life in an unknown world.

Now I know why no one wants to draw this kind attention from a being as a ROB to themselves because ROB's apparently love to mess whit us lowly humans and make our lives living hell...you ask why I say that? well I wanted to die and die I did and this shit then made me immortal, yes I am because one of the first thing I did once I have realized I am a vampire I have taken the gun from the table and put another bullet in my brain...and after I came back to life I did the same with the rest of the clip in the colt m1911.

Once I have realized that I can't die I went outside and stood in the sunlight and after one hour of standing I was still alive, for days I spent just trying to kill my self in any way imaginable even jumping into a meat grinder and after not even that could kill me and I came back...I stopped trying to die and spent a few weeks drinking dozens of bottles of Jack and just making a mess of my Bar area.

And that brings us to this moment in time with me writing about all of the shit that has happened to me until now, and now I think I will do my self a favor and try to look around my house and try to figure out on what would I have found my self because apparently instead of the cliff side of Bosnia with white stones my house is in the mountainside of black granite stone and currently there is summer in this new world I have found my self in, and so I will be taking a short walk today and try to found some people and ask them about the lay of the land.

And also fuck you ROB I will not dress in a red fucking armor I am taking my ghillie forest suit so no one can see me and I am taking a sniper rifle, and because I can't die I don't need to carry food or water, all I feel is slight hunger even though I have not eaten for weeks so I will not even bother to bring food, hope I will found someone soon so I can figure out why the hell ROB sent me here and what I am supposed to do and how I am supposed to save a lot of people.

First time writing this kind of story so be gentle and I hope you like this story so far and sorry for my bad englise I am from Bosnia.
