Character[]
The protagonist. Following the typical cliché of dying from being hit by a truck in another world entry, she becomes possessed by the avatar character from the online game Eternal Horizon Online that she was playing. Since she was originally male, her gender has changed, but she wasn't particularly macho to begin with; rather, she seems to have adapted very quickly, leaning more towards a feminine personality, making the TS element weak. By the latter half of the story, she completely forgets that she was once male. Her real name is Ayase Kanade (綾瀬 奏).
Originally from a wealthy family, she lost her parents in an accident and was completely stripped of her inheritance by relatives. After enduring abuse, including sexual abuse, in the home of a relative where she was placed, she escaped. Due to malnutrition from the abuse, her growth was stunted, and her appearance became closer to that of a woman. Despite this, rather than harboring a desire for revenge or anger, she developed a somewhat resigned or enlightened mindset after witnessing that her relatives, even after such incidents, were still excellent individuals socially and publicly. However, this aspect has received mixed reviews regarding its complexity. As a device to show the influence of TS, she uses "boku" for first-person narration and "watashi" for dialogue, distinguishing between the two.
In the game, her race is vampire, and as a female, her race is called "vampire princess." Her basic classes are warrior and saint, but both have poor compatibility with her base traits, effectively making her a low-tier character akin to a dark mage. In fact, she was among the lower ranks among the hopeless named characters. Instead, she covers this with movements specialized in speed and control, adopting a perverse concept. She was the only player to completely evade all electric attacks during a raid against the game's strongest boss, the Golden Dragon, with 150 players.
With the determination to collect all tameable monsters, she constructed a large guild home called "Sky Castle" for space and currently leads a massive monster army known as the Imperial Crimson. Her mindset is quite ordinary, so she struggles to control her subordinate monster riders who are hostile towards humans, yet she shows a ruthless demeanor towards villains and enemies, while casting resurrection spells on innocent enemy soldiers, which does not give the impression of being a ruler. However, her subordinates appreciate this unpredictability.
Due to her appearance, which does not quite fit the image of a king or emperor, her official title is the ruler of the Imperial Crimson (國主), and she is often simply referred to as "young lady" or "her majesty." During the EHO (Eternal Horizon Online) era, she received the official title "Graceful Lady of the Sky" (天嬢典雅) from the management, with an appearance resembling a 13-year-old girl with black hair and red eyes.
While not particularly pronounced, she does exhibit some traits of a "chūnibyō." Although she rarely reveals this due to embarrassment since her reincarnation, she continues to give her tamed monster riders impressive names consisting of two kanji characters. In appearance, she is a beautiful girl in her early teens with black hair, scarlet eyes, and white skin. Incidentally, her set age was 13 years old, 143 cm, 34 kg, BWH = 74, 50, 76, but she has recently grown slightly for some reason. It is thought that her mentality is involved, but it is unknown.
Abilities[]
"I will not forgive those who try to take what is mine!!"
― Hiyuki's principles
After the accident he transfer to the body of one character from “Eternal Horizon Online”, the vampire princess Hiyaku. A Imperial Crimson Lord of the State in the game. She commonly known as "Princess", "Her Majesty", "Her Majesty the Princess of Roses". Her special titles in the game era were "Tenjoutenga". Not so powerful in terms of simple HP/MP, but in 1 vs 1, it can fight even with quite high-ranking monsters on equal footing. It turns out that she, along with my assets, territories, and my pets from the game were all transferred to a similar world. When fighting around, She was clearly in a higher position than my followers who are stronger than her.

As the player level reach 99, it’s possible to reincarnated into advance grade of race, but reincarnating have to restart the level from 1. In case of vampire princess, the grade: vampire princess → vampire princess (True Ancestor) → vampire princess (Founder Ancestor) → Vampire princess (God Ancestor). Aside from the increase in ability base, other thing is reduction of HP and MP penalty during the day, decrease weapon damage from vulnerable attribute of silver and light (God ancestor is almost none, more or less compared to additional damage from other attribute).
Vampire Princess's Insanity is a racial trait that activates when she does not consume blood for a certain period of time or when she faces a situation that threatens her life. Her rationality disappears, the limiter on all of her abilities comes off, and she becomes a mass of self-protective instincts, attacking those around her indiscriminately.
She is also the only saint in this world who is a non-powerful, paper-armored swordsman (kensei) with an emphasis on speed and control and revival ability skills. In "E.H.O.," the recovery job is a masochistic job, and clerics are usually frustrated on the way because their VIT (vitality) drops dramatically, their skill level only increases with experience from healing, and it is impossible to revive a person, let alone heal him or her, unless the person has already reached "saint or holy woman" skill level. It is normal to fail in the middle of the game.
To begin with, revival is possible without penalty by going to the city's cathedral and making a certain amount of donation (an intermediate level player can afford it), and revival at the save point is also possible if you are prepared to pay a 5% penalty (no penalty for level 20 and below). Also, if you were really in dire straits, you could buy a revival potion (500 yen per one), a chargeable item, so there was not much demand for it.
Her character is merciless toward those who "take what is her," but she gives unrestrained protection to those whom she recognizes as "family." This may be due to the imbalance of her upbringing, where she was surrounded by enemies and starved for family. She/He is a foul-mouthed man with a sharp tongue, but this is also a thorn in her side that he protects herself with theoretical armoring. By nature, she/he is a very sweet and weak character.
"I will protect those I recognize as family!"
― Hiyuki's principles
The difference between a player and other followers is whether or not they can switch their combat abilities. Compared to the followers, who are always in a state of full-throttle free spirit, the players are only as strong as they appear in everyday life (so Hiyuki is usually about as strong as Fiore in an arm wrestling match), but they can switch at will, and in that case their normal bodies are enhanced as they are. The average arm strength is about 15 to 16 times stronger, and the average speed is about 200 km/h. Hiyuki has an average arm strength of about 15 to 16 times stronger, and an average speed of about 200 km/h.
| 『Sword Saint Technique』 |
|---|
| 「Nanatenkouha (Seven Heaven Falling Blade)」A Sword Saint's technique that attacks split into seven stages of thrusts. |
| 「Tenhaourinken (Heaven Ruler Phoenix Slayer Sword)」A Sword Saint's technique that created a tornado that was born became a slashing attack. |
| 「Zeshoumeitsubasaha (Swan Song of the Chirping Wing Blade)」A Sword Saint's technique that consumes all the user MP, it will deal a great amount of damage. |
| 「-???-」 |
Hiyuki's arm strength is below average, but her leg strength is so high that she can exceed the speed of sound at a moment's notice. HP is literally life force, but it is "how hard it is to die" and has nothing to do with physical strength, so pain is directly felt. Therefore, it is a game of guts at the end to see how much pain you can endure. If your heart breaks, your physical strength will rapidly decline.
When the player merges with a follower, the player's basic abilities and physical strength remain the same, and only HP, MP, and resistance to the follower's attributes are increased. This is a bargain for the player, but a disadvantage for the follower (if the possessor dies, the follower dies as well), but naturally, all the followers of the Imperial Crimson are willing to die for Hiyuki.
