Henry was the typical kid growing up, struggling with grades, worrying about girls, getting into fights. Well, that was his normal life, then the virus struck. Little did Henry know, his life would never be the same. He spent a year by himself, sticking to the shadows. He watched people die in front of him, it made sense to him, he was just a ten year old, what was he going to do to a vampire?
When he became eleven, he was found by one of the soldiers of the Imperial Army, his name was Abel. Abel trained the young kid in martial arts and swordsmanship. Abel was one of the best swordsmen in the Imperial Army, so Henry became his disciple. When he was fifteen, he went on his first mission with just a regular sword and killed a dozen vampires.
When he became twenty, he would become the first holder of Yamata. The demon had tried to possess Henry, but Henry prevailed, ever since then, Yamata had lent him his power. The two were an unstoppable force, with Abel's training and Yamata's power, Henry was nearly untouchable. When he was in a fight with an elite vampire, he got stabbed in the abdomen and died.
Under normal circumstances, he would have died and been burned. But because of Yamata, he wasn't dead for long. Yamata had brought him back from the dead using his powers and was now a part of Henry. Henry not knowing this is stronger than the average human and faster. Because Henry hasn't awoken his powers, he's just an average human, or so he thinks.
If Yamata were to take full control of Henry's body, he would become unstoppable. Yamata roamed the earth long ago, he was power hungry. He eventually found someone he could not beat and was killed. His soul was formed into a sword, a katana to be precise. Henry is the only one who can defeat the vampires for good. He possesses such power. A power known only by the vampires, they are afraid of him.
Before Henry got exiled, he had a love. Adalia was her name, she was a fierce fighter. The both of them met on the battlefield. Adalia was pinned down against the ground by a vampire, she was about to have her blood sucked out of her when he came. He stabbed the damned thing in the back and killed it. They would later talk to each other, sharing secrets, showing different techniques.
A year later they started dating, they were both happy. One day, they were both assigned to an extermination squad. The Imperial Army got information on the location of one of the vampire's bases. Both Henry and Adalia were assigned to kill them all, with six others. They got to the base and everything was going as planned, they were all killing the vampires. It was when an elite showed up that everything went to hell for the six.
Adalia went to face the elite vampire by herself when she got stabbed. Everything slowed down for Henry, his movements, his breathing. His vision turned white with rage. He summoned Yamata's power, Yamata gave him one percent of his power. Fire. Fire was everywhere. He started slashing the vampires in rage. The vampires couldn't do anything about Henry because of the fire that has engulfed him.
He left battle formation and headed towards the elite vampire. 'He will die by my hand' Henry thought. The elite vampire endured the fire and slashed at Henry. Henry blocked it with his bare hand and punched the vampire. The vampire flew back ten feet and slowly got up. Henry slowly walked up to the stumbling vampire, "You will die by my hand!" Henry shouted at the vampire. He sliced the head of the vampire off, he sheathed his blade and blacked out.
------------------------
Henry had a weird dream, he dreamt of an eight-headed and eight-tailed dragon. "So the human finally awakes. I've been wanting to talk to you for a while now Henry," The beast said.
"Who ar- no, what are you?" Asked Henry who stumbled to stand up.
"What I am is the demon inside your blade. That power you felt was my power, although it was just one percent of my power, you annihilated those vampires. Henry, I am a part of you from now on, you can rely on me for my power. Now go, your comrades are waiting,"
Henry woke up to people surrounding his bed. 'Adalia' was his first thought. "Where is she? Where is Adalia?" He asked afraid of the answer.
"I'm sorry Henry she died from that elite vampire." One of the strangers replied. That was the day Henry lost part of his humanity, he silently swore he would kill all the vampires, he would avenge Adalia.
