Blood is the fountain of life, and the carrier of memories

Long before the dawn of the Continental Era, thirteen alchemists partook the blood of Abel, the First Martyr. Through this sacrament, they unlocked the power of memory-bound immortality. Thus, the first Bloodborn were born: Immortal beings who defied the natural cycle of life and death, the harbingers of calamity upon the mortal world

Over a thousand years later the Black Blood disease swept across the continent like an unrelenting tide. Mortals, infected by the deadly plague, turned into beasts, and civilizations crumbled as their people lost their humanity. Amid chaos, a boy named Noah as a heretic and sentenced to burn at the stake for his affliction. Yet, as the flames closed in, a Bloodborn girl intervenes, revealing that he may hold the key to a forgotten prophecy: the Bloodborn’s return to the moon.

I'm so done with multiverse/timeline bullshit.
It's lazy writing for authors who are too chickenshit/greedy to commit to their decisions. After all their "readers" are like children who hate being confronted with the fact that actions can have irredeemable consequences.
Under its beautiful aesthetics S&B is still the same slop as any other gacha.

Not the first time I've seen vampires get mixed with aliens. In fact, it has happened a fairly several times, kek.

>>1908234
Of course it is. What were you expecting anyway? And I mean the Onion knight appears, does nothing and disappears from the story. The cat vampire is on the ship yet she doesn't exist after her introduction.
There are gacha with decent stories but snb isn't one of them.

>she doesn't exist after her introduction.
You meet her again after that

Very serious when I say (You) can make your own gacha with gemini+gpt and would actually have to put in some effort to be as bad as moontroon.

I am skipping Arene or Alene or whatever her name is.

SR Aiona (Bloodborn) - The current Aiona who joins Noah's Adventure

Starry-Eyed Aiona (Kingdom) - She's from 20 years in the past before meeting Noah and she was somewhat still learning her skills but nonetheless in her prime

Timeless Aiona (Ancestor) - possibly a different timeline Aiona from the main story
Her event told us her perspective on how she originally obtained her powers from the Eye. She saw the downfall of her family and decided to rewind time over and over again until she was trapped in a timeless wasteland, after all that happened, she absorbed some of the Aionas trapped there and enhanced her abilities
