I’m Playing as a Nun.

【Levinia Fallen Grace】

[Race] Vampire
[Level] 87

────────────

There were no particular signs.

I had just returned home from work. I was enjoying a game when suddenly the monitor flashed, and I possessed the character I had been raising.

Putting aside the surprise, I was lying alone in an unknown forest, and the day had already darkened with thick darkness.

Trees swaying in the sharp wind.
Tall and rough entangled vines.
And this strange atmosphere greeted me as soon as I opened my eyes.

It felt too vivid to be a dream, and my mind was too confused to believe it was reality.

“Just what is going on…”

The transparent status window before my eyes.
Levinia’s information is written in it.

It was quite interesting that something I would only see in a comic happened to me.

But one thing, the fact that I possessed a female character of all things, made my mind gradually go blank.

“Haa… There’s no vitality in this body at all.”

Icy cold blood covered with pure white skin.
It’s quite a shock that I, who was a human being until just now, suddenly became a vampire.

If I had known this would happen, I would have logged in with my main character.
Belated regrets come rushing in like water.

– Rustle

After a long time passed like that.
I struggled to get up from where I was lying down.

I still didn’t want to believe this reality, but as time passed, I only felt the sense of reality more clearly.

And for some reason, a feeling of helplessness slowly filled my mind, so I decided to move my body and try to empty my mind as much as possible first.

– Thump, thump

I quietly caught my breath in the forest’s strange chill and dark atmosphere and slowly looked around.

Everywhere I went, the scenery was the same, and the occasional cries of beasts made my spine shiver.

Nevertheless, I kept moving forward without stopping my steps.

I wanted to go to a nearby village right away if I could.

However, it would be very dangerous for me, a vampire, to set foot in a village recklessly.

I won’t die easily because my level written in the status window is 87.

But I don’t want to unnecessarily complicate the situation.

After all, most vampires in media appear as enemies.

– Rustle

Even after walking for a long time, it was still a forest with only an uncomfortable silence.

I started to get more and more anxious because of this ominous atmosphere.

No matter how much I walked, I only saw the same trees and similar paths.

I couldn’t find a place that looked safe even if I washed my eyes and looked for it.
The cries of beasts were constantly heard from somewhere.
The steps heading forward gradually felt heavy.

Right then—.

– Creak

A faint outline of something dimly visible in the deep darkness.

At first, I couldn’t tell exactly what it was.
It looked suspicious at a glance.

But for me, who had been wandering in the forest with the same scenery for several hours already, I had no choice but to get closer to it.

“Whew…”

I felt as if I had really entered a horror movie.
My heart was already pounding, and cold sweat was dripping down my face.

– Tap

As I got closer to that faintly visible outline,
A small church building somehow revealed itself through the trees.

At a glance, it looked quite old and abandoned, with most of the exterior walls cracked and fallen off.

“…A church?”

I wondered why a church building was abandoned in a place like this.

But it was like a savior to me who needed a safe place.

It was well hidden deep in the forest and not easy to find.
Although old and broken, it adequately protected my body from external dangers.

– Bang–!!

“Coming in–!!”

I knew it didn’t feel like anyone was living there, but I opened the door with a strange feeling of uneasiness and shouted loudly.

Of course, no one was inside the church; only the messy interior and dusty air welcomed me.

“……”

The interior was far worse than the exterior.
Traces of the church could be seen here and there, but they were all hit directly by the passage of time and were shabbily broken.

The only things that stood out were an old bible in the corner and a worn and tattered nun’s robe.

“Still, it’s better than sleeping outside…”

I hesitated for a moment at the terrible interior.
But I thought spending the day a little warmer inside the relatively safe church would be better than shivering outside in a dangerous place.

“I’m only staying for one night anyway.”

When the day dawns, I will leave this gloomy and messy church and head to a better place.
I don’t want to stay long in this space where it feels like a ghost might pop out at any moment.

“Sigh… Why am I suddenly homeless…”

Now that my body was somewhat safe, complaints about the current situation began to come out belatedly.

At this point, rather than the fact that I had become a vampire,
I had a stronger desire to learn why I had to be homeless, taking shelter in a rundown church.

How did things come to this point…
One thought led to another, and one question gave rise to another.

“Ugh.”

As my thoughts became more and more confused as the night deepened,
I finally decided to close my eyes.

The cold feeling of the floor and the unidentified bad smell stimulated my nose.
But I no longer had room to care about such things.

“Let’s sleep for now…”

The quiet night wrapped around me, and I slowly caught my breath.

The moment I was relieved at the thought that I could spend the night in this ruined church, my consciousness quickly faded away.

***

Exactly one month has passed since then.

My determination to move to a better place as soon as the sun rises has disappeared like bubbles at some point.

I am still staying in the ruined church and continuing my life in my own way.

“The weather is clear today too…”

My plan was good up to the point of making a resolution, but it all went down the drain because I overlooked one important fact.

That is the fact that my race is a vampire.

In the game, I could walk around well during the day, even as a vampire, but in reality, it was not so easy.

“It’s really peaceful…”

The moment the warm sunlight touched my skin, a tremendous pain rushed in as if it had caught fire.

Moreover, to move forward, I had to cross a river.
But for some reason, my body strongly refused to approach that river.

What a truly absurd situation.

As such incidents piled up, I eventually gave up on leaving this church.

I don’t even know exactly what’s across the river.
And I came to like the church that became quite cozy when I cleaned it up well.

There was no longer any reason to move forward while bringing hardship upon myself.

【Levinia Fallen Grace】

[Race] Vampire
[Level] 87
[Skill] Bloodletting

────────────

Sitting on the steps in front of the shaded church entrance, I habitually check the transparent status window.

As a result of wandering around the church vicinity here and there for a month,
I learned the skill called Bloodletting without even knowing it.

An empty skill slot that makes level 87 seem meaningless.
This fact was very surprising at first, but now I’m quite indifferent.

Since my race is a vampire, I have to drink blood instead of food to recover my strength and stamina.
Thanks to the Bloodletting skill, I don’t have to bite the other person directly to suck blood, which is very fortunate.

But the difference between direct bloodsucking and skill bloodsucking was quite big, so I couldn’t easily ignore it.

.

.

.

That night.
I started preparing to move in earnest only after the sun had completely set.

My lifestyle has changed beyond recognition in about a month.
It still feels quite unfamiliar to be active in the middle of the night, not during the day.

But to live as a vampire, I must move diligently at night.

– Knock knock

Just as I finished preparing to hunt and was about to leave the church,
Someone’s presence quietly came through from beyond the tightly closed door.

– Knock knock

At the eerie knocking sound heard once again, my body froze like a stone statue.
I thought I heard wrong, but I was completely wrong.

“Whew…”

I had already somewhat adapted to life here, so I felt more vigilance than fear and horror.

It didn’t make sense for an ordinary person to visit this church hidden deep in the forest.

My eyes narrowed with a doubtful look at some point.
I slowly approached the door where the presence was coming from.

And I unhesitatingly opened the door that had been tightly closed.

– Creak

My level is a whopping 87.
No matter who is beyond the door, there is no need to be afraid.

Unless it’s someone extraordinary, they won’t be a match for me.

“Who…”

“Thank, thank goodness…!”

However, contrary to my expectations, beyond the door were not threatening beings.

But three children, hugging each other and trembling like aspen trees.

One boy and two girls.
They had small wounds all over their bodies and looked dirty and shabby, as if they hadn’t washed for a long time.

“Sister…! Please have mercy on us…”

I could see at a glance that they were not simply children who got lost in the forest.

The children’s appearance looked very desperate and pitiful as if they had experienced something terrible.

But—.

“Sister?”

I wasn’t even wearing a nun’s habit, but these children seemed to think I was the nun of this church.
