▍Synopsis
Rumor says that the powerful vampire Dralc has kidnapped a kid. Driven by this rumor, Ronaldo, a vampire hunter, goes to investigate and hunt the monster down. However, when Ronaldo arrives he discovers that Dralc is the weakest of all vampires and keeps turning into ash at the smallest of things… Not to mention that the rumored kidnapped child wasn’t being held captive but was just using the “haunted house” as his personal playground!
