An ancient fig tree takes root in a rotten land filled with the smell of decaying flesh. It is said that once you taste the fruit, you will be captivated by it and will continue to madly seek for it, which you will never be able to taste again. The fig curse. This is what they call it. The young and innocent vampires who seek the figs. What are their thoughts after being awakened by blood? The story of the young blood that carried the fate of an inhuman vampire will now be revealed.
