In modern times, caravans of vampires secretly transported shipments of raw uranium stones to their hidden throne: the Shadow Kingdom inside a dormant volcano in the heart of Italy.
They gathered these rare stones from several countries, using their secret influence and dark magic.
One night, a special shipment from France was stolen — nuclear stones meant for experiments on a strategic weapon.
But disaster struck when the vampires' servants dared to ship unstable stones, covered with their black magical seals.
During the transport across the Mediterranean Sea, the crack happened:
A huge nuclear-magical explosion shook the waves, and flames rose from the heart of the sea.
It wasn't a normal explosion — nuclear radiation mixed with dark magic energy, releasing a terrible shockwave followed by a dark storm that covered the sky.
Black clouds hung over Europe and North Africa for weeks.
Within minutes, hundreds of thousands died in the coastal cities,
and millions in countries around the Mediterranean Sea suffered burns, deformities, and unknown diseases.
Hospitals collapsed under waves of the injured, and the World Health Organization declared a state of extreme emergency.
But the greatest disaster was not the injuries…
It was the transformations.
After a few days, strange symptoms appeared:
Bodies twisted into monstrous forms.
Humans gained unnatural powers.
Half-human, half-beast creatures emerged from the wings of sickness.
Hospitals turned into horror zones; patients attacked doctors, monsters escaped into the streets, and chaos ruled the cities.
The United Nations gathered in panic and declared:
Every mutant or deformed being is a threat to humanity and must be "cleansed."
Organized exterminations began, as armies hunted down the survivors of the disaster and started executing the infected without mercy.
The infected became outcasts in their own societies, and some of them formed a group to protect themselves.
They were no longer just victims… they discovered special powers inside themselves.
They gathered in secret and swore to protect themselves from a world that now saw them as a plague…
And from here was born:
