This is my first WIP, and technically this is a rewrite but it will be the last unless I have a late night epiphany about this WIP being able to become something greater. However thats besides the point, time to share what I love.

False Ancestry:
You are the child prodigy, the star of the town, the next in line to be captain of the football team. However, that is no longer the case. You have been suspended from the game for the remainder of the school year due to an incident involving a former school teacher.
You have to deal with the consequences of your actions, that isn't all that is happening in your little town. The queen bee of the school, who has been missing for the last three weeks, has been found and returned home. It's your responsibility to help her rehabilitation, for better or for worse, as one of her childhood friends.
Maybe this would have been the start of a sweet love story and change between the two of you, the troubled star and the amnesia queen. But life has different plans for you. A monster is waiting in the woods, stalking and hunting down residents of Blackwood.
Following a very unfortunate series of events, you are truly awakened to the world around you, which is filled with monsters and things that are no longer human. Do you have what it takes to save the people closest to you and retain your humanity?
You have seven days until prom arrives to make your decision, seven days to overcome your past, seven days to decide your future path. As a monster or as a human.
Meet the Romance Options:
Irene North
The Queen bee of the school, vice captain of the cheerleading squad, president of the student council, and the daughter of one of the richest people in town. She is also technically your best friend, being one of your childhood friends, your biggest rival in life, and your second biggest defender behind John. Her parents and yours are the people behind the town’s economy, which affords her a certain level of untouchability that she exploits to her benefit.
Irwin North
The king of the school, vice captain of the football team, president of the student council, and the son of one of the richest people in town. He can also be considered your best friend, being one of your childhood friends, your biggest rival in life, and your second biggest defender behind John. His parents and yours are the people behind the town’s economy, which affords him a certain level of untouchability that he exploits to his benefit.
Rachael Von Liechtenstein.
Vice captain of the cheerleader team, overall great friend despite everything. She is a bit weird with how she acts sometimes, you wonder how much of her is the real her and how much is an act.
Skye White
Nerd, weeb, and, surprisingly, the captain of the volleyball team. President of the school anime club as its only member, not for lack of trying to get people interested. She is one of your childhood friends and the one that you are closest to, is your best friend despite her odd behavior.
John/Jane Healthcliff
A victim of fate, that is the best way to describe John or Jane; they have been beaten down by life from the day they were born. Being born intersex created a division in their life with their parents. Their father couldn’t take the stigma of such a child and buried himself in work, while their mother couldn’t accept it and chose to only view them as a girl. This is only their home life, as their social life is a lot worse, as they get bullied for being different, for being feminine, even if they present themselves as a boy. However, you and the others don’t care about this, because they have and always will be your friend.
Ryan Ashford
The most annoying yet charming guy you know, Ashford, for all intents and purposes, is a clown that marches to the beat of his own drum. Which for some reason, works out in his favour every step of the way, and that makes him the best captain that you could ask for. He is the main reason that you gave football a second chance, and the main reason why you haven’t been expelled yet, besides Irene.
Charlotte Jenkins
Misguided? That’s the best way you can describe CJ, you can’t blame her too much, as she actively tries to be better than her family, but she is somehow still a bit tone deaf with half of the things that she says. She is that one friend who says something unintentionally horrible with a dumb smile on her face, she reminds you of someone you knew sometimes.
Sigismund Saint
The new transfer student, you haven’t personally met him, but word travels fast around the school. He is the archetype of transfer students in movies, cold, quiet, and distant from everyone, but the first two descriptions of him could be because he’s rumored to be mute. The one thing that is constantly mentioned besides his muteness, is his sheer arrogance despite being unable to speak. All bite, no bark. As they say.

FAQ:
Why is the MC African American?
I wanted to tell a story involving a Black MC and several themes in the story are based on that fact.
Why do the F!MC and M!MC have differences?
Simply put, It’s because of how Irene/Irwin operate in the story, Irwin wouldn’t be a cheerleader, and Irene wouldn’t be on the football team. But I also can’t have the player be on the same team as Ir, so they had to be split.
What supernatural elements will be present in the story and when?
Currently, I only have the vampire and werewolf routes planned, plus a human route, and this is unlikely to change. The supernatural elements will not make an appearance until chapter 1, the prologue is to set up the human elements and the framework of the MCs life before it got derailed.
Why is the MC so violent?
The Main character is violent and more prone to violence, because that’s part of the story I want to tell and has overarching implications throughout the narrative.
Rewrites and changes.
The story is subject to change due to the fact that I come up with better ideas for the story, it has been rewritten before, changes have been added, and will continue to be added. But I will try to stop adding retroactive changes, and all changes will not affect the previous updates.
When I finish the story, I plan to do one final rewrite before I submit it to hosted games.
Additional stuff.
This will be subject to change, depending on what repeat questions I receive, but that is all for now.
(This is mostly a joke, but if have the excess funs and like my stuff.)
Recently I saw that resident evil remake bundle went on sale on steam, a kind reader should totally gift the game to this poor dev, it would make them very happy.
It might delay the release, but small price to pay for peak right.
I just noticed a funny pattern in the rewrite, all of the ROs share their first initial with someone else.
Ryan (Ashford) = Rachael
Sigismund = Skye
Irwin = Irene.
I just wanted to say that I am alive, was off my meds for a but, and things got dark. But we ball regardless, I am writing up some test demos for each of the ideas that I have (including FA).
The test demos will be semi Canon short stories that occur before the main story, I just want to see if my writing has changed a lot and need a short burst to settle myself.
Quick Questionaire for anything suggestions or problems you may have, I am more so looking for the problems you may have to improve before relaunch.
Suggestions are suggestions, if they are good then I might use it but not everything is good in this world.
As mentioned in my patch notes post, I will be removing the supernatural elements of my story and making them their own separate works.
So I am going to talk about that a little bit, here, and first of all. I am probably not going to have the ROs be the "same" across them because the stories are fundamentally different, but maybe they will all have the same names or something.
First lets talk about the werewolf story, as that is going to be the most divisive, because it's going to be the omegaverse story. Google at your own risk, but it's going to be fun to write at least.
The vampire story is going to be a post-apocalyptic setting, where humanity has mostly gone extinct due to vampires and lives in wall cities to defend themselves, and to better protect them. They are raising half-vampires or Dhampirs to be that protection. Your character will be one such Dhampir, and you will be the captain of your own squad of Dhampirs.
I will not be doing these stories alongside False Ancestry, but I'll write them afterward.
John had the unfortunate fate of being the third RO and had Irwin as his competition, you can't expect me to pick anyone over Irwin and Irene.
Ashford is Ashord, and Sigismund has his plot.
oh no, CJ 😭, can we still have a relationship with her? like in the endgame, even if she doesn't have as much screen time, or will she simply be a hookup?
I guess I will spoil my original plans for CJ since she is just a hook up now, she is lowkey just as racist as her parents, the main reason she hooks up with the player is because she has a race play kink. And most importantly, she just sees the player as temporary fun, and can't/doesn't see them as a long term relationship or anything official.
Lowkey, I like to be a terrible person with my characters and hurt you guys. Maybe this is for the best anonymous. Can't get attached if you can't date her.
But originally, she would go on this whole character arc and overcome her internalized racism, but I am not doing allat for a fling.
I am calling these patch notes because I can. But on to the changes I made, some small changes and some big ones that will get me burned at the stake like a witch. (You should really read Mark of the Devil)
First, let's start with the big changes, and the most important of those, the RO changes.
I have removed 3 of the ROs, one you didn't get to interact with yet, and it's for the best, he was sexist. And CJ and John, both of them got removed but not deleted. CJ is going to be a fling, John is just a side character.
Irwin and Irene are getting split into separate characters, meaning WLW and MLM are back on the menu with them. You will get to choose who you dated in the past between them.
Sigismund is staying because he had an overlap with Dante, and both of them got merged. Rachael remains the same, and Skye is being a delinquent to make her character more Active.
Now for the other changes, such as me removing the supernatural routes, I decided to do this to really focus on the story elements I have so far. (Themes and such.)
Minor changes include:
Reworking the sexualities to be more inclusive.
Reworking the parent dynamics to be more choice based.
Reworking the school events to have a reputation system.
You will have the option to ghost the teams.
Further the immersion of the flashbacks with the story.
Hello yall its finally out! The update adds 24k new words and concludes the homestead route. I also just updated my intro post and will repost it!
Thanks for reading yall and enjoy!
Since olden times, dragons and humans have been at war.
In a bloody struggle between humans and dragons, you and your sister are a bitter memory that taints humans, while dragons view you with indifference. Rarely pity.
You are a Kindling.
A mistake.
Raised in secrecy, your world was small but idyllic. Only your twin sister and you, growing up under the watchful eyes of Mother, running around the land close to the house that you called home.
There was no concept of wrongness in your world. Mother was firm but fair. Loving.
Until one fateful night, Mother had ushered your sister and you on a ship, leaving your tiny world behind. Never explained the reason, the hurry. And you couldn’t ask, not when you saw the fear in her eyes.
Once arrived to this mysterious destination, she took you deep into the island’s forest. But no one anticipated the dragon attack, or how it left you separated from Mother.
Left alone on a strange island, you were soon taken under the wing of a dragon and his family. Can this last?
Develop a relationship with a wide cast of characters
Customize your Kindling (gender, appearance and personality)
Enjoy time with your twin
Learn from dragons and their life
Bond with your dragon sibling
CAST
Líf | Leif [F/M]
You did not know what to make of them, with the way they hunched into themselves, trying to hide away from the world. Despite that, their curiosity always drove them to places they had no business getting into.
Sandy blonde hair with deep green eyes. Líf wears her wavy, long hair in a braid. Leif has his chin-length hair loose in a mess of wild waves.
Rune [F/M]
Despite their grumbling, they haven’t turned their back on you, even as you disturbed their peaceful living. They're still far too cold, but perhaps you'll be able to thaw them out.
Tall and willowy with bright red hair and pale blue eyes. Their body is covered in a light leather armor, pale fingers clutching their staff as they walk. Their hair is held in a ponytail, braids with bright beads decorating it, along colorful feathers.
Fenrir [F/M]
Knowledgeable in ways foreign to you, they agreed to be your guide in the human world and its cities. But nothing comes for free, does it? As long as you fulfill your promise, they shall be by your side. Tall and lean. They have a wild mane of black hair cascading down their back with four straight horns parting their hair. Short-sleeved shirts show the tanned skin of their arms, crisscrossed with countless scars. A thin, long tail is wrapped around their leg.
The King
You know only whispers of the King, but words of your existence had reached the sovereign's ears.
Finished revising dance scenes with Justin, Nora, and Connor, making them more realistic, more response to previous choices, and more romantic (assuming you've been flirting)
Partially revised dances with Evangeline, Garrett, and Mirabel
Made it a little easier to ask alternative ROs to dance (though dutiful MCs still will dance with their betrothed)
Renamed "self-serving" stat to "independent" to be a little less morally coded
Sorry, no Patreon update this week. I've been focusing all my writing time on a short story prequel featuring a young Osdric. It's a very important backstory moment that I need to make sure I get right and it's taking longer than expected (partly because the story itself is getting longer than expected). I may not have an update for next Thursday either, but hopefully for the one after I'll get back in the weekly routine.
On that note, I've been considering posting bigger but less frequent updates instead of the weekly ones. For the most part I write daily and almost always have something worth updating weekly, but I'm not sure how it is on the reader end, if the game resets too frequently or what have you. Open to feedback on the current routine!
