Mercedes and the Waning Moon: The Dungeoneering Feats of a Discarded Vampire Aristocrat

Reborn as a vampire, Mercedes Grunewald has won the lottery of life. She’s strong, quick, beautiful, and even a noble. Technically a noble, that is. Her mother is merely a concubine, and her father shows no interest in the family he’s shunned to the countryside. Knowing the comforts of her life will be lost once he chooses an heir, she resolves to take matters into her own hands. At just ten years old, she begins a life of dungeon crawling. But what will she find for herself out there in the dungeons? In her past life, she died unfulfilled, but this time, she’s set on achieving a different fate. Whether it be fame, fortune, or simply a reason to live, this time, her moon will be full.

Now that Mercedes is officially a Seeker, it’s time for her to find some dungeoneering companions. She has little faith in others, however, so she seeks out new comrades in the dungeons—in other words, monster companions! Luckily, the ones she finds are as faithful as faithful can be. Having assembled her party, she sets her sights on a new goal: making it all the way to the deepest parts of Stark Dungeon. Thanks to her deal with Trein Industries, she has plenty of provisions and cash to support her, but just what will she find when she makes it all the way to the final floor?

However, a fragment of truth awaits anyone who can overcome this trial. What will she learn, and what will be her final reward?
