Reincarnated As a Vampire [English Version]

Chapter 2

Hidden Potential

Time continued to pass.
Every time Father was home, I would train with him. Before I knew it, two whole years had gone by since I first picked up a wooden sword.

Now, I was five years old.

After watching my progress over the years, Father finally acknowledged my potential. That day, he came home holding something that made my eyes sparkle.

“Avrora, this is a gift for you. You’ve passed your basic training. Take it.”

I stared at the object he held out—a real sword, wrapped neatly in a leather scabbard.

“Waaah! It’s so cool! I love it! Thank you, Dad!”

Without hesitation, I jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly.
I was so happy. This sword wasn’t just a weapon—it was a symbol of his trust. A treasure I would never forget.

And of course, I was itching to test it out.

“Dad! When can I go explore the Labyrinth with you!?”

Father's expression instantly shifted.

“Listen carefully, Avrora. The Labyrinth is extremely dangerous, especially for a child your age. Never go there alone. Promise me.”

My excitement deflated like a popped balloon.
Ugh, I just wanted to fight some monsters already...

“Hmph!” I puffed out my cheeks. “But I wanna use my sword!”

Father chuckled, ruffling my hair. “You’re hopeless. Fine—let’s go to the forest. There are a lot of slimes there. They're weak monsters, and with your current skills, you should be fine.”

My eyes lit up like stars.

“Really!? You mean it!? Let’s go right now!”

He laughed again at my sudden cheerfulness.

“Haha! Alright, let’s go, Avrora!”

“Woohoo~!!”

When we arrived at the forest, my eyes widened.
There were slimes—real, bouncing, jelly-like slimes, just like the ones from video games. And now, they were right in front of me.

“Dad will watch you from here. Be careful, Avrora.”

“Got it, Dad!”

I gripped my new sword and charged forward.

“Huaaah~ This is so much fun!!”

I defeated slime after slime, slicing through them with ease.

Ten slimes down.

Huh? Another skill? Nice!

I tried using it on one of the slimes.

So that’s how it works. This skill shows detailed info about the target.
Wait... can I use it on humans too?

I looked toward my father and activated the skill again.
