Deep in the forest, screams echo. I ran with all my strength, my legs screaming at me to stop. But to stop would result in something far worse than an ache the next day. I had long tossed my armor for decreasing the strain. The only defense I have left is the dagger on my belt. The only thing keeping me alive, though, is the setting sun.
As long as I stay in the light, I'm safe. As long as they don't catch me, I'll survive this tragedy. That was the idea anyway, but as the sun began to fade faster than I could run, the screams grew silent, and all that was left was the drumming beat of my heart. The darkness swallowed everything around me until I could not see anything directly in front of me, nothing but two scarlet orbs moving closer to me. The orbs were not natural. Nothing about this whole thing should exist. It was a thing of nightmares; only this is real.
"You did well to make it this far... your friends... they were disgusting. How can a human taste so much like feces? I've fed upon literal dogs that tasted better. Well, maybe you'll be different."
A chill ran down my spine as the orbs spoke to me. The distinct sounds of a little girl speaking such words just weren't right.
"W-what kind of monster are?"
"Monster? Ah... yes, I suppose you could call me that, I am no longer human... hmm, you know what, I've decided, I'll make you a monster... like me."
The next thing I knew, the orbs of scarlet rushed towards me and, with unnatural strength, forced me onto the ground. Something entered my body, and pain surged throughout my veins as my body convulsed and tore itself apart and repaired itself simultaneously. Pain followed by blood pouring out from my neck began.
"Hahahahahahaha," the childish laugh filled me with further dread as I blacked out from the pain.

Imperial calendar year, 291
The expedition to the [Grand-Pursh Forest] led to discovering a new nation that had gone long unnoticed. This is a nation of monsters that see humans as nothing but food. The country was called the [Valdimir Empire], and at its head was the Blood Emperor, an unholy being that feeds upon humans, as does the whole aristocracy. Imperial scholars dubbed them Fampirs, all human nations that once existed in that area have since become incorporated into the Valdimir Empire, and the citizens became cattle. Its discovery changed the continent forever. All human nations united against a common enemy for the first time in recorded history.
