The Vampercia

In the depths of a dark black planet. Drifting in the vastness of the cosmos. Stood high a fortress. As big as a country. There were fortresses like this. Dark forests in between.

Each fortress having walls, touching the ceiling of the sky. And on every wall was carved a stone emblem. One of a bat,one of a varewolf,and one of a human hand. These where the three fortresses which occupied half of the planet,Syris.

The other half? Well many expositions were sent yet none of them ever came back. It was called the 'Talent killer.'. No matter how much potential one had or how strong they were. No one survived.

This world was at war. The three races. Humans, Vampires,and varewolfs. All of them were at war. Although a treaty was signed by the elders from each race.

Small skirmishes and underground deals were still going on between the races. The higher ups tried to get rid of them but they couldn't.

The Humans expect a 4th race to be behind this,a far fetched conclusion according to the Vampires.

.....

Vampercia, Vampires stronghold.

The vampire strong hold was different and unique from the rest. So was the vampire region. Over here there was no light at all. In this solar system,there was just a dwarf star.

Barely providing enough light for the Humans. The varewolfs only had one day in a whole year,in which they received sunlight. That day was when they went into hiding.

Humans were considered the strongest in day time. Their ability to use something know as Qi. It gave them super speed and super strength. Also they were the most advanced.

They had weapons and war ships made to counter the other races. The strongest race was considered to be vampires. The reason they didn't trupmh over the other races was due to there being internal conflict.

The Royal family. They were divided in fractions. 2 main families competing for the throne. And under them each were 4 sub branches. They were called the east and west faction.

This story follows a boy belonging to the main family of the east faction. Nathan. He is the youngest son of duke the third,Rayson. He is to inherit the throne if the crown is to be passed to the east faction.

He has one older sister and that's it,she aswell was married to someone from west faction. Their heir, Hendrick. He was considered the strongest of this generation. He had long white hair reaching his shoulders,red eyes. He wore a exquisite red robe dragging behind him, signifying pride and arrogance.

He was the brother and law of Nathan, married to his sister,Diana. Who was just 19. The reason she was married was only due to a political agreement between the branches.

The agreement gave Nathan who was just 16 to compete in the battle of the throne in the next decade. He wasn't considered eligible,since the best candidate was Hendrick, who was 25.

There are 5 ranks in the vampire world. Novice, soldier, knight,lord,king. Nathan was just reaching Novice soon. Which was great for his age. On the other hand Hendrick wad knight rank. No one in history had broken his record of the youngest knight ranked vampire in their mid twenties.

Diana didn't hate Hendrick, since Hendrick knew that Diana was basically sold for a family agreement. He didn't wanted to mistreat her and treated her well. They both really loved eachother.

Nathan was also fine,even though Diana's future options were limited,she wasn't sold atleast. Many vampires sell their daughters to higher families for establishing good connections.

Nathan was sitting in his room. The east faction had a huge black cathedral. A castle which reached the ceiling of the sky. He was training himself. Vampires generally had a few great abilities. Super speed,super strength,they could manipulate blood around them,level of control varried with rank.

They were also trained in weapons. Every vampire had a unique ability, distinct to eachother. Some had similar but with a twist. Similar to human finger prints. Nathan had yet to find his unique ability.

His father had the ability to form a shield made out of blood. This was very different to a shield made by manipulation of blood. These unique traits are considered gifts.

Gifts are unlocked when one reaches knight rank. Nathan was far from that. Every rank upgrade after knight rank rewards the vampire with a upgrade in gift strength.

Hendrick was set to receive his gift next week at the awakeners ceremony. The process will be done by the current king, Yazeth himself.

*Knock*

"Come in" said Nathan from inside the room.

"Sir Nathan the carvan is waiting." Said his butler.

"Okay, I'll get ready and be with you shortly." He replied as he got up going towards the dressing room.

Nathan was tall boy,he was 5'11 at the age of 15. He had black hair reaching his shoulders,red scarlet eyes. He went ahead and changed into his favourite robe.

His robe was all black with a red symbol drawn on it's chest pocket. The Robe fell all the way to his ankles. Accompanied by black leather boots and a black cowboy hat, Nathan left his room.

Today was the day,the day he has been waiting for. Finally entering the Novice rank,and going to the Playgrounds. Playground was a program made as the result of the treaty.

Playground welcomed members from any race. These were devided in 3 year brackets. Year 1,2 and the final year 3. Nathan was going to be joining the year 1 bracket since this was his first year.

The first semester begins after 2 months. Everyone who reaches novice rank is ultimately ranked in top 10 of the vampire race. Not in the Playground's ranking,for that there is a tournament designed. To give everyone a fair chance.

Since every race has a unique way of cultivating. Humans had the Qi ranks. Newbie, apprentice,teacher, master,grand master. The varewolfs had marks. Total of 10 marks, giving them physical advantage,and a new tattoo looking mark is added on them every evolution.

Nathan reached the destination. Vampercia was unified, meaning there were no cities in it. Just Vampercia. He reached the Royal families awakening grounds. He got out of his carvan and was escorted in by his butler,Josh.

When he reached in,the first thing he saw was his father-Rayson. Along with the 4 heada of the sub branches. Patrick,Danny,Ed,and Ron.

"We welcome the young sir." They said in union.

Ed taking it a one step further trying to get more cozy with Nathan. "We already know you will nail this,so I celebrate you in advance." He said.

"You know what that means. If Nathan doesn't succeed your head will be the thing rolling tonight." Said Rayson.

This was the Vampire law. If you make a bold statement or a prediction,if it doesn't come true you'll be punished. The punishment varried. Since this was the Roy family itself.

It would be death penalty. Ed gulped in fear realising his stupid mistake. Rest of the three Patrick,Danny and Ron had grins on their face.

But they hid them,they didn't want to become the target of the Vampire lord. Nathan ignored them and went straight to the changing room to change into his training attire.

This was his very own war armour,given to him by Rayson. His blood armour. After changing into the armour he stepped in the arena. The arena was huge,it could fit in 500 people. It was completely filled, since this was once in a history event.

Nathan entered the view, causing erupting cheers from the crowd. He felt a little nervous if he was being completely honest. But he was trained as a future heir.

His father everyday give him lessons to lower his stress and nervousness. He was snapped out by the entering of a figure.

" All stand in praise,the King Yazeth has entered." A man entered who was in his late sixties. His appearance was like a middle aged man. The vampires could hold a youthful appearance.

What followed him was the west faction. Accompanied by duke the second -Ronald. He was Rayson's brother. He had long sikver hair with blue eyes.And behind him was Hendrick,and the leaders of the 4 sub branches.

No women came since they weren't allowed to,as this tradition passed down to Royal family prohibited woman from entering. They believed it could interfere with the process.

No one believed in them other than the elders. Well they would believe after what will happen today. Nathan had a fiancé,she was 14. She snuck in wanting to see the event.

She was really skilled as a ninja. She belonged to the human Royal family,her name was Rosè. She was left in the vampire world by them a price for some unowned land.She was set to marry Nathan,and as the princess of humans. This would further increase human vampire relationship. Why did they want that land so badly? Well,they have a secret of their own.

Vampires didn't care about that land, since it was near the dark territory. Well, Nathan also dearly loved this girl. He was the few people who really cared for her. His father was the one mostly providing her protection.

Maybe he let her in today on purpose. Who knows. "I would request the Kind Yazeth to begin the bestowal." Said Rayson.

Yazeth moved forward took out a globe. Every Race was left with law bending artifact. But none of them knew the other had one or what it was. Human's had a book, Vampires had this globe, which chooses who to bless with the power. Not every vampire had ranks or power. The varewolfs were left with a sword. They believed one day someone worthy would pull it out.

Just then the globe light a shade of dark black, different from it's red glow.

"Everyone brace themselves." Screamed Yazeth.

Boom!!!!!!

A ear piercing boom ran out,what accompanied was dust as a result.
