In a future where Armageddon has caused devastation, the conflict between humans and vampires persists. To safeguard humanity from these bloodthirsty creatures, the Vatican must enlist the help of other allies in its ongoing battle against the undead threat. The protagonist, Abel Nightroad, is a traveling priest who also happens to be a crusnik - a rare type of vampire that feeds on the blood of other vampires. He belongs to the "Ax," an elite group led by Cardinal Catherina Sforza, and is tasked with protecting humanity from the looming danger posed by the Rozencreuz order, which is headed by his own twin brother, Cain. After encountering a young girl named Esther, Abel decides to take her under his wing and train her at the Vatican in preparation for the impending battle against the Rozencreuz forces.
