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

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?

Now that Mercedes has reached the final floor of Stark Dungeon, she finds herself face-to-face with Schwarz Historie, or “Past Erased.” It's a fierce foe, unlike any Mercedes has encountered before. However, a fragment of truth awaits anyone who can overcome this trial. What will she learn, and what will be her final reward?

Mercedes has come to Felix’s birthday party, ready to see her father for the first and last time. She and her other siblings are fated to lose their battles with Felix, permanently ousting them as contenders to be their father’s heir. In fact, Mercedes has already lost her battle and is ready to set off and live as a Seeker, but then, something unexpected happens—one of her brothers sets a demon loose at the party. When Mercedes steps in to save the day, the course of her life takes a dramatic turn...
