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.
