Just when Liu Xiaodan thought that his strange, mundane life was at its peak after meeting the ghost child he named Guangru, the child ended up being a gateway to the past that he had never wished to unlock... and a future he could only brace for.

Through his blood came a mystery that had soon given birth to an existence that everyone wanted to subdue yet no one would like to meet. Liu Xiaodan was destined to stand at the top of the food chain, but would he use his powers for good? Or would he rather lock himself away from the light forever? After all, his kind... was the strongest in the dark.

This is the monster that he chose to become.

A shrill scream echoed all over the room before the lights went down. Everyone standing quickly ducked down to the floor; only Liu Xiaodan remained seated with a straight back. He eyed the door which opened without anyone visibly opening it.

When the door panel swung so slowly, the scent of blood began to flood everyone's noses. Even the nurses covered their noses with their hands as they also attempted to minimize the sounds they were making. Ten pressed on his pager to send it to silent mode while sending a message to the rest.

Due to the darkness of both the room and the hallway, only a few saw a clawed hand reach inside from the ceiling.
