Psychologists and other scientists have come together and made a virtual world. Initially, it is to put soldiers through training in the form of a game, but it's still being developed.
Inside the virtual world, people in it have forgotten that they're not in the real world anymore. Everything is destroyed. The world is cast filled with sand and barren landscape. It's a desert. The people, survivors, don't know what happened. All they know is that they have to survive somehow.
There are hardly any animals. And there are two types of humans left. Cannibals, called Raiders, that may or may not travel in groups. And then there's the normal folks which are few and far between. Most Raiders have gotten to a primitive state. They're hunters. But some, a small group managed to be intelligent enough that they captured a woman. She's a scientist and was making a home for herself when she was found by ten to twelve Raiders. They killed her sister, ate her alive. They're after her now. But instead, they make a deal with this scientist. She has to create a living weapon for them because finding arms is now rare. She needs to create a creature that can do the killing faster than them so that they have more advantage than other Raiders.
And so she does. She takes another woman that they bring to her unconscious, and fuses her with a snake, creating a lamia (naga). This lamia was a normal human, so she has full intelligence. The lamia is adapted to the desert. Now all that remains is that this lamia must heal fully before the scientist returns her to the Raiders.
But this lamia, once a pro-peace botanist, hates this scientists for what she did to her. She feels constant pain, and while in healing, she constantly shows her hatred towards the other woman, openly telling her that once she's able, she will kill her. She does hurt the woman several times. The scientist deals with her, and tries to prevent the lamia from hurting herself as well, but while she does this, she notices the lamia's hidden parts of personality, and begins to fall in love.
Of course, that only makes things more difficult when the Raiders will come back for her. And what about the real world? Would they ever return?

There is a newly turned vampire (a few months) that had run away from her family, and gone into the stripping business to get money, and try to figure out a way to get a constant supply of blood. There's also a werewolf that had been kicked out of her family, and wound up becoming a prostitute. She took advantage of her position to eat. She had things figured out until one night her change went awry on a full moon, and she was unable to control herself. She changed too quickly and freaked out her client who in turn hurt her terribly before running away.
No one listened to his strange warnings, but the high class brothel manager told the vampire to go up and clean the place up, and check on the woman as well. Getting there, the vampire notices the werewolf. Deciding to keep her secret, and somewhat helping the other heal a little, the two become friends. The werewolf becomes fiercely loyal and very protective of the beautiful vampire.
They use their dynamic to reel people in with the vampire warming them up with her stripping and sultry dances, and the werewolf finishing them off after the sex they pay for.

And the clients never remember what happened to them.
Things are great in the large and very populated city, but underneath it all, the police are hunting for whatever that's behind men being found with blood loss, and chunks of muscle missing. At the same time, there are hunters looking constantly for monsters. And worse yet, a coven of vampires and a pack of werewolves live as gangs in the city.
