humanity is on the brink of extinction after a 27-year-long period of darkness known as the "Eternal Night." This worldwide eclipse has allowed vampires to rise to power, plunging the world into chaos as they hunt humans with near-impunity. The story follows Gabriel de León, a Silversaint—a half-human, half-vampire warrior dedicated to fighting the vampire scourge. Captured by his enemies, Gabriel is forced to recount his life story to a vampire historian named Jean-François, who serves the vampire aristocracy. In his captivity, Gabriel reveals details of his past—the brutal training he endured as a young Silversaint, the horrors he faced on the battlefield, and the loved ones he lost along the way. Through his storytelling, he exposes not only the horrors of the vampire empire but also the moral compromises and betrayals within his own order. As he speaks, Gabriel reflects on his obsession with the Holy Grail, a fabled artifact that may hold the key to ending the Eternal Night and wiping out the vampire rulers once and for all. However, as Gabriel dives deeper into his story, it becomes clear that his quest has left scars—both physical and emotional—that he may never fully heal from. The line between hero and monster blurs as Gabriel's past is unveiled, showing him as a deeply flawed yet determined figure willing to risk everything for a dying world. Throughout this reluctant confession, Gabriel wrestles with guilt, anger, and an unyielding sense of duty, ultimately leading to a narrative that is both epic and intensely personal, revealing the darkness that surrounds and dwells within him.
