Respect Vandalieu (The Death Mage Who Doesn't Want A Fourth Time | Volume 1 to 3)

This will cover the equivalent of the first three volumes of the novel. It will use a mix of manga and novel feats, defaulting to the visual manga feats where equally detailed. It hence covers the majority of the currently released manga chapters.

Vandalieu Ark Hillwillow Solder Zakkart

Vandalieu is the main protagonist of the Japanese light novel series The Death Mage Who Doesn't Want a Fourth Time. Born as Amamiya Hiroto in modern Japan, he is reincarnated into the world of Origin, where he dies tragically a second time and ultimately ends up in the world of Lambda. Marked by his unique death attribute mana, the young Dhampir comes to be both feared as a potential calamity and revered as an emperor by his growing nation of undead, monsters, and outcasts.

Explanation of the Stat System in Lambda:

In Lambda the laws of nature are such that the battle capabilities of individuals are reflected and ruled by their stats. There are 6 stats total: Vitality, Mana, Strength, Agility, Stamina and Intelligence.

This is Vandalieu's stat sheet at the end of volume 3. (Chapter 66) Here are averages of human stats for comparision. (Appendix 3)

Stats are mostly what they sounds like, with two exceptions. The minor one of the two is Intelligence, which is also connected to spellcasting output. (Chapter 33)

The big one is Vitality. Vitality functions like the HP stat in a video game, which as a consequence means that damage in Lambda doesn't work as in regular physics. Even if you manage to land an attack which mostly or completely ignores defense it won't automatically kill the target. That's because damage is calculated using the defense stat (and other factors) and then the result is subtracted from the remaining Vitality. The amount of the injury produced is then determined by how much Vitality was lost relative to the total Vitality stat. As a result, there is no such things as true durability bypassing hax in Lambda. Even the ability to ignore all defense that works fine in the universe of Origin isn't an instant win in Lambda. It might still deal a lot of damage, though. (Side Chapter 21)

A good example of this is Legion's Counter ability. In Origin it was an ability that inflicted the same damage on the target as was inflicted on the user. However, after being reincarnated in Lambda, the ability turned into one that dealt the same amount of Vitality damage. As the total Vitality of creatures differs the damage is vastly different. When a dinosaur bites Legion it inflicts minor damage on them, but when reflect the same "amount" of damage immediately kills them. (Chapter 128)

It should be noted that the Vitality stat even applied when Vandalieu killed Konoe Miyaji, despite the latter being outside of the universe of Lambda and never having entered it. This indicates that Vitality applies in confrontations between people if even just one of them is from Lambda. (Chapter 127)

Special Abilities

Death Magic

Magic that can only be learned by those who inherently have no affinity for any attribute of magic. It might be more appropriate to say that such people are born without an affinity for any other attribute. It cannot be gained by those who have no inherent affinity for any attribute due to a curse.

It is an attribute for which nobody in either Origin or Lambda possesses, other than Vandalieu, and there are no past examples, either.

However, it is apparently partially similar to the special abilities wielded by the Demon King Guduranis.

No-Attribute Magic

This is magic cast using Mana that hasn’t been influenced by any attribute and doesn’t exist in Origin.

Because it uses Mana that hasn’t been influenced by any attribute, anyone can use it no matter what attribute he or she has an affinity for. Thus, it is convenient for both those teaching the fundamentals of magic as well as those learning them, so apprentice mages begin learning the sensation of using and controlling Mana with this magic.

Because no-attribute Mana is not influenced by any attribute, it quickly disperses once it leaves the body. Because it is difficult to maintain, only has simple effects and using magic with an attribute produces more efficient and effective results, the people of Lambda consider it as little more than a tool to train with.

It is common for first-rate mages with level 5 in magic with an attribute to have a level 1 skill in No-Attribute Magic.

However, there are also a few who do not fail to perform fundamental training in no-attribute magic.
