In the 16th century, the dracula clan at the centre of the vampire legend is locked away deep under the ground by the neo vampire clan. The neo vampire clan is called Corbin and the earth becomes theirs. Fast forward to 1999.

On this day, young men and women have been invited to Hotel Requiem where Yamada is holding a huge nationwide matchmaking convention. Then he suddenly declares to the gathered crowd that tomorrow will be the apocalypse and only the people inside this hotel will be saved ... |
