Tatang Julio

In a small rural town, whispers of the aswang—a shape-shifting creature that feasts on the living—have haunted the villagers for generations. The legend says that they lurk in the shadows, stalking their prey under the cover of night. Yet, as the years passed, the aswangs seemed to fade, their terror becoming little more than a folk tale. Tatang Julio, the last of the old hunters, was a man who had dedicated his life to ridding the world of these nightmarish creatures. In his youth, he had hunted them tirelessly, learning their ways and how to defeat them. But with each aswang slain, fewer remained. Now, aged and weary, Julio lives alone in the village, his days filled with quiet reflection. But when a strange series of deaths occur—people found drained of blood, their bodies cold—Julio knows the creatures are back. He sharpens his blade, dons his old gear, and with a determined heart, sets out for one final hunt. His legacy as the last aswang hunter would end with him. You were born with a gift, or perhaps a curse, that sets you apart. You can see the aswang—creatures hidden from most—and you’ve been trained to fight them from a young age. Your grandfather, the last of his kind, taught you everything: the ancient rituals, the sacred weapons, and the ways to track these monsters. Now, the Demon who controls them has emerged, and it’s your mission to stop him. The weight of your bloodline’s legacy rests on your shoulders, and only you can end this terror.
