Chapter 1 - Recap:

The world is medieval fantasy, filled whit magic like powers bounded to digital game mechanic, supernatural stuff like holly knights, vampires, other creatures and events, plus relic sites, technologies or willpower from the (ancient?) past. The oldest thing in the know world is supposed to be the indestructible crystal citadel in the Academy city as most important relic from the golden age of science. Today world once again slowly rebuild itself from crisis one century ago; when certain matriarch known only as reincarnated Accelerator threatened to destroy the world.

We shall be aware of seven widely known figures who get they nickname after they prove that they hold that legendary levels powers. Because there was mostly newer be two of the same, there is a saying that those figures are actually a reincarnations of some (ancient heroes?) who dared to touch the power of gods. From that moment they souls are periodically send back to raise again into greatness and form the world by theirs actions. In this era those names are connected to vampire matriarchs which were capable to form their own packs/ flock, by turning humans into vampires. But if some though that those people, those matriarch, will turn good and start doing a heroic act just because somebody give them those public nicknames, then this someone make a wrong decision.

This story is telling a specific part of certain journey connected to a quartet of girls which formed a party in order to challenge this dangerous adventure.

Anna Sparkle, is almost cat type loner and tomboy who despite the fact that she doesn't even look twenty is actually a fifty years old. On top of that she is actually a vampire matriarch, who received a legendary nickname Railgun, just because during her rampage days she kills a lot of vampires, without intention saved a town that shall be doomed, get stronger to the point she can match a matriarch and learn using electricity. Normally she will never give a dam though about being a matriarch or have title Railgun,-- but she stays surprised when they team found a book of old tale where she and her companions in some illustrations somehow resembled in appearance the 'Team Railgun' from previous age. So the rest of the girls used to joke around that it was a destiny witch bound them together. But every time she replied that the woman on those pictures look more like her dead mother, always hiding a fact that she looks like a copy of her mother, exclude her humble chest area. Anna despite being a matriarch, she somehow not showing to possessing any of the extra skills that come with evolution level on which she was; she don't know how to turn someone into a vampire and her power-up wings and horns are simply transparent, intangible and don't allow her fly. (She don't minded it because she found that she can just fire herself like a canon ball across the sky.) Normal vampires are unable to feed on other vampires, and even matriarch can feed on vampire that is from her own pack. In contrast Anna Sparkle is a suspicious oddity; she reach a matriarch level in lees that a half of the century, can feed on nearly anything, and are friendly to humans. Despite being marked as a 'Kin Slayer' she learns to restrain herself whit her strong moral codex, so she will newer go on killing spree rampage ever again.

Becky Herald is sassy but young and talented holy paladin a pride member of Judgment [Knight hood like military organization that protect humanity. But they are more like a (cops) police organization that provide public security and such.], with blessing of teleport, and re-awakened as a werewolf puppy. Werewolves are natural anti-vampire predators [wounds don't heals and saliva interfering magic], their black blood is for vampires like a super booze that make them crazy. Plus humans mistreat them heavily. Those fact drive this race to the verge of extinction. But when she discover that she can bless a water to turn in into holy water [top levels skill], her blood, smell and presence shall be poisonous for vamps and similar. But, as some kind of oddity her blood [aggro] attract all kind of not just trouble makers individuals. Judgment sent her to investigate rumors about certain mine from certain remote village. Plus she was tasked to spy at local vampire if is actually friendly to humans. At start of her mission she though they send her there to cold down her ego, or as a punishment because she was not into men's. But instead she found in Anna a lover. Her life got more upside down when she went to much out of her believes to actually save Sparkle, whose trust to humans backfired, from imprisonment in dungeon. Then during night stay in a suspiciously themed in, during nightmare from her youth, her werewolf blood awake. She is worried about her appearance to her work colleges. Plus she got an crazy food obsession with sausages. (But Anna always hiss at sausages in disgust.)

Flona Winea is shy but curious cleric whit interest in herbs and such healing method as her mom was. But she is possessed by combined effort of necronomicon [Book/ grimoriar/ tome of necromancy.] and ghost of passed girl that is obsessed in other member of the party, Dianna. (To the point she hunted her as a stalker.) As a caster, her body, mind and soul hardly keeps in place due the all aspects. The solution to her schizophrenia [spitted personality], is to promote/ evolve/ chose the path of a soul's witch. That will lock her in place and time, freezing her appearance (like other witches). The decision will heavy affect her as a dedicated healer [evolution path from cleric – to priest], as she shall abandon the cleric way to become a witch, when the other option is to become a necromancer. Also because of her state and the shenanigans from grimoriar and the ghost; she become a highly unstable but powerful caster-summoner, who have a soul link whit Dianna. Despite the fact that she is weak, she is smart whit a goal to learn more because she desire to help many people.

Dianna Swing on other hand is at a first glance reckless carefree joyful prankster battle mage a runaway member of Anti-Skill [an extremist organization who desire to free humanity from vampires and such] who died, but was raised up back to pseudo life as one mess of pieces from everything or just random. She is marked as a failure to becoming a vamp (Anna tried to save her), and shes not even a ghoul but more like a meat golem. As she was previously hunted by a ghost/soul of fallen girl who was onto her, and who now possessing a Flona, which is a current target of mage building up feelings. This knowledge of being possessed/ hunted, was used to her re-awake by transferring a strong noble soul [former Anna companion] from Sparkle (frag list stack) to Dianna as a substitute core/ place holder, which keeping the mage in the realm of living. And those (random?) features; like be (fussed/ possessed by ghost/ soul); keeps stacking up to the point, that if a photo of her standing alone will be ever made: on the picture you will see beside her, a bunch of other people covered by ghostly auras. "Um, isn't it here getting a little crowded?" And the color of that aura will representing the core of element witch they used and for now it boosting her (she doesn't know this jet), to the point she (because of soul link to Flona, she became a souls totem) turning into grand shaman.

As for the story: There was a need for an answers for too many serious questions. Even if the girls don't liked to go to the coastal Phis Looc city, the leads eventually lead them there. It was to much coincidence that in this city is located: a headquarter of Judgment and Becky Herald home base; the Anti-Skill camp that train Dianna Swing; the Matriarch Elisabeth Watcher who probably have a dark connection to Sparkle past is a lord of the local castle; and the previous witch who treat this party suggested that the Cleric shall visit her companion who also living there.

So, after arriving into that city and settling in suspicious inn of a certain witch (Because the witches are something like scientist, and yes they are questionable research's subjects, once again.), the girls split to fulfills their tasks, whit goal to reunite latter. But until the night settle above the city, they are all on the beating-up end of the fights. And what more horrific, there is upcoming gathering of important vamps [The matriarchs whit the legendary nicknames], on local castle, right this night. But a massive explosion from obsidian bomb, exploding right above the castle, thrown the city into chaos. And you can suggest, that our girls find they route to the deepest center of this major incident.
