Who the heck is this?
This is important, so I'll ask again.
Who the heck is this?
Huh, whaaa?
There's so much to unpack here I don't even know where to start.
Alright, let's take it one thing at a time.
First off, what's with that name?
Why are there two?
Well, okay,
Feel like there was. Feel like there wasn't.
There probably was.
Just don't remember.
Then again, I don't remember the names or faces of over half my classmates to begin with.
Oh wait, when you Appraise someone who has a past life, does it show their previous name too?
Huh?
Then what does "Nameless" mean on mine?
Am I losing if I think too hard about it?
Well, I get that this baby is a former classmate from my past life.
She's got the "n%I=W" Skill too, so that's basically confirmed.
But what's the deal with being a vampire?
And both "Human race" and "Vampire" are showing up as her races?
What's going on there?
Anyway, let me Appraise the vampire race first.
『Vampire: A ruler of the night who lives by drinking the blood of others. A race with high abilities but many weaknesses. Often originates from another race, inheriting the characteristics of the base race. Those who are born vampires from birth are called True Ancestors.』
Ah.
So roughly the same as vampires on Earth?
D is overseeing all this, so it's probably the same.
Next, the vampire Skill?
『Vampire: A special Skill possessed by vampires. Stats increase by consuming blood. Also, special effects are triggered at certain Levels. LV1: Blood Wither』
『Blood Wither: Weakened if blood is not consumed.』
A debuff right out of the gate, huh?
Being a vampire's a pain in the neck, geez.
Hmm?
But this kid doesn't seem weakened at all.
So she's been drinking blood?
No way.
They say breast milk is made from blood, so maybe that works as a substitute?
What about her Titles?
『Vampire: Acquired Skills "HP Auto Recovery LV1," "Dark Vision LV1"; Acquisition requirement: Obtaining the "Vampire" Skill; Effect: Adds Vampire to race; Description: A Title bestowed upon one who has become a vampire.』
『True Ancestor: Acquired Skills "Undying Body LV1," "Five Senses Enhancement LV1"; Acquisition requirement: Being a born vampire; Effect: Nullifies vampire debuffs; Description: A Title bestowed upon one who is progenitor of vampires.』
Oh, True Ancestor is busted.
Negating vampire weaknesses? That's cheat-tier. Total cheat.
No wonder she's perfectly fine standing here under the blazing sunlight.
That resolves the Blood Wither mystery too.
And to top it all off, she even gets a rare Skill like Undying Body.
『Undying Body: Resistance to all elements except fire, light, and corrosion is increased. Also, once per day, survive any attack with 1 HP remaining.』
An absurd resistance on top of a survival mechanic.
That's cheat-tier. Absolute cheat.
Who even is this kid?
And what's with that insane amount of Skill Points?
That can't be legit, right?
She's blown past every single point I've painstakingly saved up until now?
What is going on?
That's cheat-tier. Total cheat.
Who even is this kid?
Also—and I'm just guessing here—but this kid being born as a vampire? That's totally D's dumbass doing, right?
She said she handed out Skills randomly as a Reincarnation bonus.
This kid got the vampire Skill as part of that bonus.
Why did that idiot hand out a landmine Skill like this of all things?
Is she stupid?
She's gotta be stupid.
As I stared at her, the little bloodsucker stared right back at me.
A spider and a baby staring each other down.
The bodyguards watching with bated breath.
The noblewoman trying to tell me something.
Oh, ma'am, sorry, I don't speak your language. It's pointless.
Quite the surreal scene.
Wait, based on the situation, this noblewoman has got to be the bloodsucker's mother, right?
Appraisal.
Hmm?
She pulled back the moment I Appraised her?
Well, whatever.
Ah, her name is Ceres Kellen.
Yep.
Same surname. Definitely the bloodsucker's mother.
But this woman is completely Human race.
Her Status is a little above average, but her Level is low and she doesn't have many combat Skills. Just a regular person.
That said, she's got bodyguards, she's well-dressed, and above all she's riding in a fancy carriage. Clearly a noble.
A vampire born into a noble family.
Ugh.
That just screams trouble.
At least they don't seem to know the kid is a vampire yet, but they'll figure it out eventually.
What happens then?
What a pain.
Don't wanna get involved.
She was a former classmate, but— Huh?
As if I'd care about that.
I don't even remember her face or name. She's a total stranger. How am I supposed to look after a stranger?
So, I'm making a run for it.
I saw nothing.
Oh, let me at least mark her just to be safe.
Alright then, see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya.
Ceres-san was shouting something, but couldn't care less.
If you want to stop me, go master Japanese first.
Then maybe I'll think about it.
Maybe. Thinking only.
I ended up having an accidental first encounter with a Reincarnator, but what a hassle.
Yeah, Reincarnators are basically best ignored.
We weren't friends, and we didn't exactly feel like comrades.
If anything, getting some weird sense of camaraderie forced on me would just be a pain in the ass.
Yeah.
If I come across a Reincarnator, I'm ignoring them.
That's the policy from now on.
