The timeline is not running out!!! As stated by others, there is plenty of time between 1094 (Lament of Innocence) and 1476 (Dracula's Curse). There is the possibility of extending the series after Dawn of Sorrow. What will happen to Soma after Dawn of Sorrow? It would be interesting to see if Soma eventually becomes the dark lord and/or if Genya Arikado reveals himself to Soma as Alucard. I mean there has to be some reason why he disguised himself. Yoko and Julius seem to know who he really is, so it has something to do with Soma and I would like to know what it is and I think that other people want to know to.
