Three Lifetimes of Bad Luck

Amamiya Hiroto's life starts with a total tragedy when he kicks the bucket in a cruise ship terror attack. After his first death, he and the other passengers get whisked away to the world of Magitek by a reincarnation god.

However, fate cruelly toyed with him, leading him into even more horrific misfortune when he was turned into an experimental object for toxic magic. He was quickly killed for a second time by other reincarnators.

Before hitting the reincarnation cycle again, he's slapped with a curse that dooms him to an early grave. Reborn a third time as a dhampir named Vandalieu in the world of Lambda, he’s dead set on flipping the script to avoid dying a fourth time.

The Power of Death Magic

Packing the blood of both a Dark Elf and a Vampire, Vandalieu has a pretty wild start. He wields rare death-attribute magic and a mountain of mana.

Vandalieu is super decisive and won't hesitate to get some cold-blooded revenge on his enemies. But for those who actually accept him, he’s fiercely protective and loving.

His main goal is finally living his best life in this third reincarnation. He uses every drop of his massive mana pool to break through social barriers that look down on hybrid creatures.

Allies and the Harem

Vandalieu's journey is marked by the early loss of his parents. His mother, Darcia, was executed for giving birth to him, but he eventually brought her back via resurrection, while his father Valen had already passed away.

He's surrounded by a crew of unique allies like his adopted sister Pauvina, the biological entity Legion, and the Undead Titan warrior Borkus. He also gets backup from Ghoul tribes like Basdia, Zadiris, Vigaro, Kachia, Bilde, and Tarea, as well as Vampire allies like Eleonora, Bellmond, and Isla.

The female cast in his life is incredibly diverse, with a long list of fiancees. Among them, Amelia Sauron is considered his first wife, alongside names such as Saria, Rita, Princess Levia, Zandia, Jeena, Orbia, Privel, Gizania, Myuze, Kanako, Zohna, and Oniwaka Yuuma.
