Imperial Shadow

Steam surges, gears rotate, and machinery roars. The human civilization that has just ushered in the "steam revolution" is facing destruction before it can reach glory. Under the attack of the vampires, the empire that integrated all mankind and was ruled by the three powers of the royal family, the nobility, and the military was crumbling. Refugees are displaced and suffering from the war. Heroes on the battlefield are ignored. Only crows are left mourning in front of the soldiers' graves. Workers who work for more than ten hours a day can only afford two bottles of low-quality beer in addition to one full meal. Children under ten years old start working in front of the assembly line. In the name of victory for mankind, soldiers use crudely made firearms to face the natural enemies of mankind. In such an era, under such an empire with internal and external troubles, there are still ignorant young people who swear to defend the future of mankind with their blood. Just because they yearn for the glorious civilization in their dreams, there are still visionary young people who are doing everything they can to try to change the decadent and deformed empire... They serve as the protectors of mankind, walking through dark alleys and walking under mechanical devices several people tall. Sometimes they turn into detectives to hunt down vampires who prey on humans and hide among humans under the guise of murder. Sometimes they wear rags and mingle among the refugees to assassinate traitors who attempt to overthrow the empire. Sometimes they wear military uniforms and go to the battlefield to turn the tide with one person. The black missions they carried out gradually sketched out the true appearance of the empire in their minds, and they grew from this, ultimately guiding them to their own destiny.
