Story
The 15-year-old, and later the 16-year-old protagonist, Sirota Mahiru, hates all kinds of difficulties in life, preferring accuracy and clarity in everything. For this reason, he picks up a black kitten on the street, giving him the corresponding name - Kuro (from the Japanese "Black"). He does not suspect that his seemingly harmless pet is actually a vampire servant - one of the so-called servamps who make contracts with people and serve them in exchange for the opportunity to drink the blood of his master. And then it is time for Mahir to say goodbye to all the simplicity of the world around him. An orphan is drawn into an implacable war between the seven Servamps and their eighth cruel brother, Tsubaki.
World Terms
- Servamps are vampires subject to humans. Each of the servamps is one of the deadly sins. Servamps are subordinate to people who have concluded contracts with them and given them names and special things (objects of the contract). The contract is concluded if the servamp drinks the owner’s blood. Instead, servamps execute any orders of their owners, even the most cruel. All servamps are immortal. Even the most severe wounds inflicted by him quickly heal. The only way to kill the servamp is to break the subject of the contract, connecting it with its owner.
- Eve ( 主人 бу ibu ) are the owners of the servamps who have concluded a contract with them. More resilient than ordinary people. They fight with the help of special weapons, which are given to them by servamps with the help of their skills. For the execution of their orders by the forces of a vampire they pay with their own blood.
- Organization C3 is an organization that maintains relationships with vampires. This organization once held Tsubaki himself and was notorious among the Servamps.
- Spawn ( 灰塵 jin ) - lower vampires obeying vampire servants. The creatures are dying people who drank the blood of vampire servants.
