Hedge Maze: The noble Latour family maintains a hedge maze as the entrance to their estate and rewards anyone who successfully passes through it their choice of a magical artifact. The trick to the maze is that it's filled with hidden teleport spots that make mapping it normally impossible.

Bait-and-Switch: When Rentt is offered his choice of rewards from a warehouse, he becomes fixated on a vial of vampire blood. The scene then switches to him and Lorraine examining the item he selected: A remote control zeppelin he'd been looking at earlier. Subverted when Lorraine ignores the distraction to discuss the vial which Rentt had also received as an apology.

Our Vampires Are Different
 The Unwanted Undead Adventurer / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: Vampires are a rare and powerful form of undead known for drinking blood to absorb their victim's essence. There exist several classes of full vampires while Thralls are said to be servants they create from humans after drinking their blood. Legends claim that drinking a vampire's blood will cause a human to become a vampire themselves, but in reality it either kills the human or drives them insane. Rennt evolves from a thrall into a lower class vampire by drinking a vial of their blood.

Jack of All Stats: Humans have the ability to utilize three types of magial energy: Spirit, mana, and divinity. Individuals have different affinities for these energy, with most being able to wield only one or two of them. Rentt is rare in that he can channel all three energies, though his skill with each individual was unexceptional prior to his death.

Evolution Power-Up
 The Unwanted Undead Adventurer / int_d991766a
comment
Evolution Power-Up: Monsters have the ability to undergo "existential evolution", transforming into a more powerful type of monster. The exact mechanics are a subject of Lorraine's research and seem to have different conditions based on the monsters. Rentt gains access to this ability as well when he becomes undead. He evolves from a skeleton into a ghoul after killing several monsters, a a thrall after ingesting human flesh and blood, and a lesser vampire after drinking vampire blood.

Clingy Costume: Among the clothes Rino buys for Rentt is a metal mask so he can hide his undead features. Only after putting it on does Rentt realize it's a magical artifact which bonds to him and cannot be removed. He can dematerialize the upper or lower half as desired, though not the entire thing at once.
