Chapter 2
The Reincarnated Vampire Wants an Afternoon Nap
Will Your Order Be The Status Settings?
âListen up, a passionless soul is basically one that does not fit in with its world. Have you ever felt it? The feeling that your perception of reality and your surroundings were disjointed?â
âI have, but isnât it normal for everyone to experience that at least once?â
Because everyone is different, I assume itâs normal for everyone to be confused or disappointed by the difference between each otherâs thoughts.
âYou are just strange. There are not that many who have your level of passionlessness.â
.... Youâre not praising me, are you?
âFrom what I understand, because I was born in the wrong world, you set up a plan to have me be reborn in a more appropriate one, right?â
âDonât call it a plan. Instead of a plan, itâs more like cleaning up after ourselves... an apology for sending your soul to the wrong world.â
âHaa....â
Basically, if I reincarnate, I might be able to find the motivation to do things or a reason to live.
I donât know if itâs okay for me to say this, but I really am a human with very little motivation. Is it really that easy for people to change...?
Even if I think about it, the loligramps has already decided Iâll be reincarnated, so nothing I say will change the situation.
It canât be helped.... Even if I canât find any reason, I can always just sleep through life again....
âWith that said, Iâll be having you pick your race.â
âIs it okay even if Iâm not a human?â
âYes yes, there are many different existences in your new world. Anything is fine, for instance, vampires are very strong....â
âThen Iâll go with that.â
âThat was fast!?â
Well, itâs a pain to think about it.
These types of registrations should be finished quickly. Iâll get very tired if I do them seriously.
âO- okay... I guess itâs fine. Next would be abilities... basically your skill set.â
âHaa.... What kinds of skills are available?â
âFirst off, youâre a vampire so you have bloodsucking, itâs just that this one....â
âThen Iâll put everything into bloodsucking.â
â.... Youâre just being lazy arenât you?â
âYou found out, huh.â
âYou.... Fine, Iâll write it all down on a piece of paper so put some serious thought into it. Your soul may be passionless, but the quality is good. If you invest too much into bloodsucking the amount of blood you need will be massive and youâll die almost immediately.â
âWhats with that pain in the.... Tell me beforehand about abilities with demerits, you useless loligramps.â
âIsnât it because you just didnât bother listening to me!?â
Even while grumbling, loligramps wrote out usable skills on the piece of paper.
By the way, the paper in question appeared out of nowhere. Similarly, a pen popped into existence and began writing while floating in midair. The loligrampsâs figure is nowhere to be seen as usual.
After waiting for a few minutes in that situation, a piece of paper was placed in front of me. There were too many words on the page, so it was troublesome to read, but the loligramps was annoying, so I begrudgingly ended up looking over it.

âToo long.â
Just reading the list makes me tired. Thatâs how much data is on it.
I believe Iâve worked enough today, letâs just take a nap now.
âYou....â
âCan you just randomly pick a few for me?â
âOf course I canât! Itâs your life so you pick them!â
âEhh~.... Then Iâll just take them all.â
âEven if you take them all, youâll have points left over.... Please decide which abilities you wish to improve.â
.... So this is the point system.
Judging from what he said, I have to use all my points.
Really, to be so precise, what exactly is this loligramps? Is he Japanese?
âThen, after getting all of them, invest the rest in healing magic and the resistances please.â
Dying again would be troublesome; letâs prioritize survival first. Thereâs no guarantee I wonât die without suffering like last time.
Poisoning and curses sound painful, and vampires are supposedly weak to sunlight, so letâs focus on these. In case I get hurt, Iâll choose healing magic afterwards.
With all these skills, it should be enough for survival.
â.... Even if we max out all of those abilities, there are still plenty of points left over.â
âWhatâs todayâs specials?â
âAre we a bar!? Whatever, we have Blood-type, Transformation-type, Language-type, Blood Pact, and Magic Power Enhancement!â
âIâll invest in them all.â
â.... You, really, what exactly are you....â
Oh my, your personality has greatly changed. Are you okay loligramps?
In the end, there were a few more points left over, so I had the rest invested in bloodsucking. If itâs at a certain level, the advantages are greater than the disadvantages, so thereâs no problem.
âNext are your physical status settings....â
âThereâs still more.... Please randomize it.â
â.... You really are very passionless. If itâs to your extent, itâs a first, even for me.â
âEhehehe~â
âIâm not complimenting you. Iâm not. Donât go saying such embarrassed-sounding lines with such a blank expression, itâs disturbing. Whatâs with your uselessly talented acting skills?â
âSince itâs a pain, max out agility please.â
â.... Considering your personality, I thought you would max out defence.â
âIsnât it obvious? If I have something to do, I want to be able to quickly finish it and go back to bed.â
âUwaa, I can agree with that reasoning....â
Even though I thought long and hard about how to improve my napping, to reply with such utter astonishment, how upsetting.
âThe next setting would be your birthplace. What sort of area would be good?â
âA quiet place with a relatively stable climate. Somewhere perfect for napping please.â
âWhatâs with the sudden increase in demands!?â
No, isnât that an important point?
Even with a face that screams, âthe hell are you saying,â loligramps breathed out a sigh and agreed with me.
Loligramps is probably a good person. At the very least, heâs good at going with the flow. Heâs even good at taking care of others.
I donât know if heâs God or not, but a person with a good head on their shoulders doesnât sound too bad. I want him to take care of me for life.
Well, a girlfriend-like figure having to deal with someone like me everyday would probably be impossible.... Still....
âW, what? You suddenly got quiet.... Does your stomach hurt?â
âNothing, it just appears simple.â
âWhat does!?â
Itâs just my own problem, pay it no mind.
âA- ahem.... With this, the preparations for your reincarnation are complete. All thatâs left is for you to prepare your heart for the trip.â
âThen please, hurry with the transport.â
âHumph, I thought you would say that.... Have a safe trip.â
âYou as well loligramps, stay healthy. Dealing with people like me will be troublesome, but hang in there.â
âIf you understand that, then take it more seriously, fool! Good grief.... Well, see you. Try to find something this time âround.â
âEven if you say âsomethingâ.... What exactly?â
âSomething is something. Something that will bring you happiness or regret in life.â
It felt like loligramps smiled a bit.
In the next instant, my body was wrapped in light and my mind started to drift away.
Even if you say âsomething,â I canât even begin to picture it....
âLoligramps is giving off a satisfied feeling with my response, so if youâre happy with it, Iâll let you keep believing it.â
âI can still hear you.â
With the feeling of my head being lightly hit, my consciousness began to fade even faster.
Whatâs up with that; although he has such a kind slap, he wasnât an easy mark at all.
