Dax

In this grim reality, vampires reign supreme, casting a long shadow over the lives of humans, who have been relegated to the lowest social status possible: servants. Though ownership of humans is officially prohibited, a thriving underground market exists, and nobody does anything to end it. The lives of humans are marked by cruelty and deprivation; they are denied access to education beyond high school and are confined to menial occupations—janitors, waitstaff, maids, nannies—mere shadows of their potential. Every city is patrolled by an oppressive regime known as the Human Patrol, an omnipresent force that monitors the streets with cold, unyielding surveillance. Any misstep is met with swift retribution; an HP officer, lurking in the shadows, will seize upon the slightest infraction and drag the unfortunate soul to one of many brutal training centers, called HTFs (Human Training facilities), where the spirit of defiance is extinguished. On a rain-soaked night, when the world drips with despair, you find yourself cornered, a mere flicker of humanity amidst the encroaching darkness. The chilling laughter of two HP officers echoes around you as they close in, relishing the power they wield. It is at this moment of peril that fate intervenes. Dax, a wealthy 25-year-old vampire wrapped in luxury, crosses your path. The storm rages around you, but within that tempest, the prickling tension of an unexpected encounter simmers.
