The day that transformed the world and decimated the human race. The day started off normal for most like any other day with no sign of the impending doom. However at noon it happened, the sky grew red and split apart. Portals appeared on every continent on Earth and beings only thought to exist in fantasy came from these portals.
Humanity was no match and suffered a 40% population decrease. Another 30% of the population were taken as slaves or food sources. The 30% left were forced to live like rats until the humans discovered a revelation, Soul Abilities.
Every human that exists has a soul ability which gives them powers of something more than human. These abilities gave humans the hope that was needed to reestablish themselves on Earth and create a nation, The United Republic of Humanity.
Of course this wasn't the end of it.
Humans as always got greedy and after concluding that the only way to strengthen Soul Abilities was to kill enemies, humans started attacking. Humans got lucky as the other races were too prideful to believe that they could be best by humans and underestimated them. The humans slowly gained power and war was widespread. The humans thought they were winning.
How wrong they were.
The powerhouses of the other races finally decided to move and humanity was of no comparison. Even the strongest of humanities hero's were killed and all of the progress humanity had made was destroyed and with it hope disappeared.

December 5th, 2028
This day wasn't important in history and no being would remember due to how insignificant of a day it was. However something did happen this day, the insignificant human, Dante Thatcher died.
"Fang, are you sure this is the location of the vampire nest."
"Yes, Dante this is the location the spies reported. Do you see anything?"
"No, just a bunch of rubble and trash."
"Well keep looking and if you can't find anything return to base."
"Roger"
Dante turned off the radio, setting it in a pouch on his hip and proceeded to enter an abandoned storage facility.
'Goddammit, walking all this way just for it to be a fake call. Then again this is the 5th in the past 2 months. If only those damn higher ups didn't push their limit the government wouldn't have been in this type of mess. Humanity is as good as dead due to their greediness; it's just a matter of time before one of the major races decides to purge the rest of humanity.
Haha, you would think after so long I would have learned to not believe in the government but I truly did hope that they would do the right thing especially when they had those powerhouses on their side. I still remember the time I met her, Olivia The Divine, the human powerhouse of the vampire corps. Seeing her act was truly astonishing and gave me hope in my dream of eradicating the vampire race but reality is often disappointing.'
"Now I'm just some barely known vampire hunter with barely enough power to clear out a medium size nest."
Saying the last part out loud wasn't intended by Dante but he didn't care if it came out as no one was around and he knew what he said was true.
Dante continued to walk through the dark rat infested storage facility using his soul ability
Dante continued his lazy room scanning until he went towards a room in the back of the facility. The room had a bright white light coming from it which shocked and confused Dante as this district had lost power many months ago.
"Fang, this is Dante reporting. I have scanned most of the facility and have found no signs of vampire activity however there is a strange light coming from one of the facility rooms Requesting information."
Dante kept his eyes on the bright room awaiting Fang's response. A minute later the radio made noise.
"Roger Report has been archived and information is nonexistent. Branch 2 is requesting Officer Dante check the mysterious light source."
"Acting on request."
Dante returned the radio to his hip and pulled out his magic infused pistol. Dante did this only as a precaution as not for a second did he think danger hid behind the door. Holding the pistol in one hand Dante reached out and twisted the door knob and pushed the door open.
What awaited him on the other side was nothing but light literally. Dante looked around and couldn't see a room he saw endless light.
'Oh sh…'
Before finishing his thought Dante felt pain all over his body. He fell to the ground and slowly the light began to fade like an illusion and the real environment was shown. Blood, guts, bodies torn apart everything that could haunt a normal man's dreams was present within the room.
"Hahaha someone actually fell for it. Gil was right, why go through the pain of hunting prey when we can lure them in?"
"Looks like a vampire hunter meaning more will come."
"Psshhh please the human government is on its last legs they'll probably just chalk up this guys death to natural causes."
"You idiots stop talking and go drain him while he's alive."
Dante heard the whole conversation and he didn't feel sad or angry. Deep down he knew there was no point in fighting now.
'The world doesn't care for my dream. My dream is in fact insignificant as I am nothing. I remember the good times if I could call them that, the times when I still believe my dream was possible. In fact thinking about it now was my dream truly eradicating the vampire race or was that just a front for what I truly wanted.'
"I want to be powerful.".
A soft whimper came from the mouth of Dante as the Vampire feasted on him like a buffet . Laughter was heard by Dante but he couldn't make out anything else as his eyes began to close he realized his true dream.
He wanted to be someone important. He wanted to be the powerful one people look up to and fear. He wanted to be the one going on adventures and fighting against powerful enemies. He wanted what he could never have.
Dante's consciousness began to fade but before he could die a notification appeared.
< Erasing Existence and Transporting Host to a More Suitable Time>
Dante's real body caught fire and the vampires feeding on him recoiled in pain. Dante's body burned and burned until nothing was left, not even ash.
