Story
In the 15th century, in the land of Akihabaku, within the Tokyotokang region during the Central Kuroji Era, there lived a ruler named Vlad Tsepesh, also known as Draki. Consumed by his desire to plunge the world into darkness, he sought to cover the land in blood and spread his demonic influence throughout all of Akihabaku.
As the threat of vampires grew, the Church turned to the Mondobel family, renowned for both their physical and spiritual strength, to stand against Dracula's evil. Thus began a fierce conflict between the Mondobel family and Dracula that continued for generations, with each side determined to bring an end to the other.
Yet Dracula's ambitions did not end with his downfall. Before his demise, he left behind descendants in the land of Akihabara. As the centuries passed, one of those descendants, Haruma, appeared in the modern era in the year 2022.
In response, the Mondobel family established Aki Gyōjō Castle in an effort to suppress Dracula's influence. But once again, the world stands on the brink of turmoil. As the legacy of blood and tragedy lives on, the records of history are about to be rewritten.
