Synopsis
Hiroto Amamiya's first life quickly and tragically ended alongside his classmates'. In his second, due to a mishap on God's part, he was reborn with immense magic but also the same degree of bad luck. After enduring years of torture, this life also ended as he was gunned down by his former classmates.

While Hiroto is consumed by a lust for revenge, God hopes that he can let go and forgive, so he promises the boy that after using his third life to calm down, his fourth will be peaceful. Thrust into the world of Lamda, Hiroto is reborn as a dark elf-vampire half-breed. However, while he retains his immense magic, God has cursed this power so that it remains sealed away.

Hiroto—now named Vandalieu—is showered with love by his mother, Darcia, but tragedy rips this peaceful life away. Deciding that he doesn't need a fourth life, the infant death mage Vandalieu sets out on a journey alongside undead companions, ghouls, and other terrors of the night.

Character
While spending a fulfilling school life at the Adventurer's School, he destroyed the Rokudo Seiichi faction that he missed in "Origin", and even defeated the Demon King Guduranis, effectively taking control of the capital of the Orbaume Kingdom. As a person, the ending is extremely regrettable, and it is so reluctant that I want to hold my head and shout, "Why did this happen!?" The reason he doesn't do that is because he knows that he deserved to help Orbaum as much as possible.

He fascinates the dead, various monsters, and even some humans, but in fact, he is fatally bad at closing the distance between himself and others, so even at the hero prep school he enrolled in, he becomes a loner just like his school life on "Earth". However, by chance, he encounters the Elizabeth team and approaches them with a misunderstanding, and by establishing a position as her loincloth, he gains a place at school.

Originally, Vandalieu's actions should have only caused trouble in the Adventurer's School and the Tamer Guild, but he encountered Amelia Sauron at the mental institution he visited as part of his training, and his range of actions expanded as he became close to her. Furthermore, when Duke Hadros Jahan visited the psychiatric hospital, he learned of Chancellor Terkatanis' eccentric behavior, and as a result, he destroyed Rokudo Hijiri's ambitions and the Demon King Guduranis.

It seems that he once again thinks that the important thing is the connection between people. [Qliphoth] With the [Body World] skill acquired by taking on a job, he has ten worlds within his body, and a horde of demons born by pseudo-transmigrating countless spirits drifting around there, and Marshukzarl, the former emperor of the Amid Empire. In addition, while taking care not to cause damage to the ground in the battle with Hijiri Rikudou, at the same time he had acquired enough strength to aim at Heinz and his "five-colored blades".

After Guduranis' resurrection, he stopped aiming for the "five-colored blade", but he still has the fighting power to fight Guduranis head-on in a hand-to-hand combat that is more than equal. If Guduranis had been a complete body, it would have been the opposite, but the old demon lord, whose soul and body were imperfect, could not win against the true demon lord. Heinz suspects that Guduranis will eventually take over and revive the Demon King because he devoured Guduranis, but he is convinced that Guduranis has been completely destroyed. Since the basis is only Vandalieu’s own feelings, it is impossible to persuade those who do not believe in him.

However, Vandalieu intends to kill him in the end no matter what Heinz says, so it doesn't matter to him. After the war, while rebuilding and restoring Orbaum, he plans to spread Vida faith and guidance throughout the Selected Kingdom. In my personal life, I plan to have a child with Diana, the "moon giant". Bakunawa and Elizabeth (!?) will be the third. Although he resists being worshiped as a god by Nuaza of Talosheim and pseudo-reincarnated demons, he does not dislike being conspicuous. However, because he defines himself as a human being, he is reluctant to be considered an object of faith.

By the way, since the distance limit for Demon Lord Familiar has been removed, I have gained experience points from countless Demon Lord Familiars, and I plan to get a new job soon.

Abilities
The only "blessing" Vandalieu received from Rodcorte was an enormous mana pool, and memories of his previous life, which allowed him to utilize his mana and skills as an infant. Instead, Rodcorte placed three curses on Vandalieu, which limits his growth and potential. However, Vandalieu has found loopholes, such as gaining experience points through his companions (and later worshippers).

Vandalieu possess several titles, obtained through various means; Some by coincidence, some directly given by enemies or allies, and others through his own personal accomplishments.
