《KonoSuba: My Life as a Vampire!》My life in another world!
Advertisement
Horse-drawn carriages rattled along the stone-paved streets of a town.
It's... This really is a different world!
I took in the scene before me, quivering with excitement. Brick buildings stood eave to eave, like a scene from Europe during the Middle-Ages. No cars, no motorcycles, no utility poles and no cell phone towers.
My eyes darted everywhere, watching people pass by. He's got cat ears, real ones! And there's an elf, it has to be an elf with those pointy ears, man she's beautiful.
"Oh man! I'm really in a different world!" I spoke aloud.
Wait, who said that? Was it me? It couldn't of been... Now that I've started paying more attention my clothes are really baggy...
I ran towards the closest building with a window to get a glimpse of my reflection. What appeared was someone I had never seen before... A girl, it was a really cute girl! She had porcelain-like complexion, her golden-blonde hair down to her back, and eyes as red as the blood moon. She didn't look any older than me. But what confused me the most was what she was wearing. An oversized baggy blue sweatshirt, black jeans that were too big and black trainers that looked as if they were bought for a guy her age.
Hold up, those are my clothes... Is- Is this me?
I lift my hand up and wave to see if the girl in the reflection did the same thing. And she did. Realisation struck me, I had asked that Goddess Eris to make it easier for me to trick people into drinking their blood.
"I DIDN'T MEAN LIKE THIS" I screamed as loud as my new voice would allow me to.
All the passerby's stopped and looked at me. This couldn't get any worse...
"Excuse me, Little Miss, may I ask why your standing in-front of my shop and shouting at the top of your lungs?"
It could.
"I- I was..." This is a fantasy world, so of course there's going to be a guild! "I was looking for the guild, but it seems the map of this town I had brought with me has been lost on my travels here, could you please give some directions!"
He looked up and down at me, "are you sure a pipsqueak like you wants to go to the guild?"
He... He called me a pipsqueak... How dare he! I'm gonna send him flying! I look up at the man only to see him glaring down at me.

"Y-Yes!" I yelped
I never thought I could make a sound like that...
"Alright, if you say so" The man responded and the glare from his face disappeared as he told me the directions to the guild.
Man this sun is super annoying... At least I'm not turning to ash, I guess even Goddesses have limits to what they can do for someone. During my walk to the guild I put my hands in my pockets only to reveal a bag of gold. When did I get this? Ah, it's probably from the gods as a way to get started out in this world, how very generous of them.
An adventurers guild, you can find one in almost every video game. An organisation that helps adventurers find work or otherwise supports them. It's a fantasy version of people who can't get jobs so the government puts them to work.
The guild was housed in a fairly large building, which released the smell of food from within. The people inside were a rough lot for sure, it's a place where people go and kill monsters after all. I just hope none of them think about jumping me since I'm a newcomer.
I readied myself for conflict as I entered the building... To which my worries dissipated instantly when I was welcomed by a waitress with short brown hair who said sweetly,
"Welcome! If you're looking for work, go to the counter inside, if you here for a meal, please take any available seat." after she told me that she continued bringing drinks to the customers/
The dim interior looked to be home to a tavern. People in armour wandered here and there, but no one seemed to be causing trouble. I did seem to be getting a lot of attention though. I wonder if they don't get many newcomers. Then it dawned on me. Everyone was checking out the extremely cute doll-like girl who had just entered, it made sense, my new appearance was definitely a looker, after all. I decided to ignore the people staring at me and headed towards the counter. If this was anything like a guild they'll tell me how the job system works and give me a nice and easy job to do as my first one.
As I approached the counter they were multiple receptionists, I decided to pick the one closest to me.

"Hello, how can I help you today?" The receptionist asked, she seemed very gentle and was probably the prettiest one out of all the receptionists, I only picked her because she was the closest though.
"Um, I'd like to become an adventurer, I just got here and don't exactly know what to do."
I dropped the whole 'just got here' shtick onto the receptionist in hopes that would tell her that I need some sort of tutorial.
"I see... Well, a registration fee is required, it's a thousand eris to register"
A registration fee? I guess not all of this world will be like a video game.
"Ahh, yes that should be fine." I got out the pouch of coins that were in my pocket and placed them on the counter.
"Will that be enough?"
She had a surprised face before saying "Y-Yes that is certainly enough!" and then took a few coins from the pouch. If she looked surprised I guess that means I have a lot... Probably just enough to register and get some equipment.
"Alright, I know you've said you want to become an adventurer so you probably know whats involved, but just in case, please let me explain. First of all, adventurers are the ones who fight the monsters in which trouble the general populace. However, they are essentially jack-of-all-trades. Adventurer is just a term used for people who have accepted this kind of life. Each one has their own occupation- such as knight."
Now this definitely is a video game. Classes, occupation, whatever you want to call it, is what defined adventurers, it allows the player to choose their fighting style. The receptionist set a card in-front of me, it was about the same size as a driver's license would be, which probably meant it was a form of identification. The receptionist pointed towards it.
"If you have a look here, you should see the line marked level, every creature has a soul within it. Whenever we eat or kill another living thing, we absorb some portion of its memories. These memories are more commonly known as experience points and normally you shouldn't be able to see them. However..."
She pointed towards another point of the card.
"...this section will show an adventurer how many experience points he or she has gained, and then the corresponding level will be shown. So this card is to show how strong an adventurer is, and also shows how many monsters they have defeated. When any living thing gains a large amount of experience, will suddenly and dramatically grow in its abilities. People often describe this as levelling up... In any case, when you gain a new level, you gain skill points, which you can spend on learning new skills as well as a variety of other benefits. So make sure to try hard and level up as much as you can."
Everything so far is just straight out of an RPG.
The receptionist continued "I'd like you to fill this form out, please put your name, height, age and any distinctive physical features." She explained as she handed me the form.
Well crap, I don't know the height of my new appearance I looked around 4'9... And my name is a boys name, I'll just shorten it to Haru. I filled in the form,
Name: Haru
Height: 4'9
Age: 16
Distinctive Features: golden-blonde hair and red eyes
I gave the card back to her.
"All right, thank you. Now, could you please hold your hands over this crystal, this will show us your stats so you can pick a class appropriate for your abilities. Based on the class you pick, you can learn specialised abilities at higher levels."
Now this is more like it! I get to find out how awesome my abilities are! I thought as I placed my hands above the crystal.
"All right, Miss... Haru, is that right? Let's see... Strength and Vitality are average, Magic and Agility are high, your luck is below average... And your intelligence seems to be slightly above average as well. With stats like these I suggest you become a Mage or Priestess."
"I guess I'll go with Mage, please."
"Alright, as your level increases your stats will eventually improve as well, which will then allow you to change jobs into a more advanced version of your current job, such as becoming an Arch-Mage."
I thanked the receptionist and said my goodbyes to her. I kinda wish my stats were higher but I guess I didn't pick max stats as my cheat... Well never mind. My life in another world starts now!

8 135Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
