Many years ago, vampires and humans lived in fragile harmony—peace upheld by the Punishers, five legendary warriors chosen from humanity. Gifted with unmatched strength, skills, and abilities, they held both races accountable, punishing corruption wherever it spread. For generations, their power passed only to those deemed worthy. But fifteen years ago, everything changed. A new threat—the Dampia, born from darkness—manipulated the Vampire King, turning the vampires against the Punishers. Outnumbered and betrayed, the Punishers were slaughtered in a brutal war. Their fall shattered the balance. What followed was chaos. Vampires declared war on humanity, seeking domination.

Legends speak of a child—one who will inherit the power of all the Punishers. A boy who might bring peace… or total destruction.
