Nyte in Shining Armor [A Cursed Shield LitRPG]

Being reborn as a blood-lusting dhampyr is just the first of Nye's problems. The cursed shield that's strapped itself to their arm and refuses to let go is the next most pressing issue. And when the magic system designates them as a Knight, who must protect a helpless and awkward prince or consequently be driven mad, Nye has just about had it.  But their little brother has also been reincarnated in this world, and given the giant monsters that stalk the nearby sand dunes, Nye fears the worst. They're willing to use any of the new tools at their disposal to track their brother down and ensure he's safe—even if that means working with the blood-thirsty demon shield and hapless illusionist regent they're bound to protect. What you can expect from this story: - A shield user (not a sword wielder or mage: pretty much just defense/support) - Dhampyrs (they're vampires that are born, not turned. Yes, there will be blood and biting) - A giant demonic shield that just wants some blood, that's all, it's not asking for much - Action, adventure, and fights with giant monsters - A slow burn relationship (but no harem or smut) - Queer characters (the MC is non-binary, and there are other enby, lesbian, and gay characters too) Updates: M W F Note: This is a spin-off of the series Glass Kanin. You don't have to have read Kanin in order to read and enjoy this one, but you might catch some clues if you do!
