"The year is 2035 and crowds of spectators are gathering in Japan in anticipation of the first solar eclipse of the 21st century."
"My name is Soma Cruz, and I am a high-school exchange student studying abroad in Japan. I live near the Hakuba shrine, an ancient shrine with strong ties to Japanese mythology."
"Mina Hakuba, the only daughter of the shrine's caretaker, is both my classmate and my only childhood friend."
"As I started making my way to the shrine to see the solar eclipse with Mina, the stairway leading up to the shrine felt longer than usual, as if something was trying to keep us from our destination."
"When I finally managed to get through the shrine gate, my senses began to dim..."
The pitch black Sun is holding chaotic darkness together, trying to rouse a sleeping soul as if looking for its missing other half...
Soma awakes in Dracula's castle along with Mina where they are attacked by a group of monsters.
Mina is injured in the attack, but a new ally called Genya Arikado, who helped in the fight, says he will protect her.
Arikado instructs Soma to proceed to the throne room, from which he and Mina can leave the castle...
Soma meets a missionary called Graham who tells him how Dracula was defeated in 1999 and his castle banished to the eclipse.
He goes on to tell Soma that the castle now lies in wait for another master who will inherit all Dracula's powers...
Soma meets Yoko Belnades, who is a member of the church.
She tells you that she believes that Graham is the one who desires the power of Dracula and it is he who will try to inherit the power from the castle.
Soma meets J who tells him he has amnesia. He says he was told that he was in an accident in 1999 and when he woke, he could not remember his name or his past.
He believes that his accident had something to do with the castle's history so he has travelled to the castle in the hope that it will help him regain his memory.
Soma meets Graham again. Graham now reveals his true intention, which is to inherit the powers of Dracula from the castle.
Now that Soma has made it so far, Graham regards him as a serious threat to his destiny.
Soma sees Yoko laying on the ground partially conscious. Before she passes out, she manages to tell Soma that Graham has finally succeeded in inheriting Dracula's powers.
Arikado appears and stresses to Soma once again that he must go quickly to the throne room to save his friends and escape from the eclipse.
J appears once again and tells Soma that his memory is returning. His name is Julius Belmont, a descendent of a clan that has fought against Dracula down the ages.
He leaves Soma with a special weapon to help him defeat Graham.
Soma meets Hammer, who says he has decided to profit from all the weapons and other items in the castle by setting up a shop at the front gate.
!!
!!
Soma finally faces Graham, who is endowed with all his new-found powers, in the final throne room.
As Graham lies dead, the castle begins to open a new portal above the throne... 
Soma cries out to the power within the castle to transport him and all his friends out of the eclipse and back home.
The castle responds and in a lightning flash, Soma stands in a garden back on earth with Mina and Arikado.
