Zantark – War-god of fire and destruction, ? years old, male
The great god of the fire attribute. He is the ancestor god of the Dwarves, and during the age of the gods, he was the one who ruled the other combat-related gods.
When the Demon King Guduranis invaded from another world, he led his subordinate gods and fought on the frontlines alongside the Elder Dragon emperor god Marduke, the Colossus god Zerno and the beast-god Ganpaplio.
At the summoning of the champions, he chose the most promising youngster who had the best compatibility with his divine protection, Touyama Kinji… the one who later became known as Farmaun Gold.
Farmaun went on to become a combat-oriented champion, often working together with Alda’s champion Bellwood and Shizarion’s champion Nineroad, separately from Zakkart and the other creation-oriented champions. However, this was because Zantark’s feelings and ways of thinking were similar to Alda’s, not because he had a disdain for the creation-oriented champions’ ways of thinking and sense of values.
Having received a divine protection from a war-god, it was only natural for Farmaun’s powers to lean towards combat, and with that being the case, he often fulfilled the same role as the other combat-oriented champions on the battlefield. It was simply that he often fought separately from Zakkart and the other creation-oriented champions.
… However, it is thought that he did feel some dissatisfaction towards Vida and her followers at the fact that they had prioritized strengths other than strength in combat when choosing their champions, despite the fact that they were engaged in a war against the Demon King.
Deeply wounded in the war against the Demon King, Zantark bought time for Farmaun and Bellwood to retreat and fell into a slumber that lasted tens of thousands of years… but deciding that it would be better than having his soul destroyed by the Demon King Guduranis while he slumbered, he fused with the evil god of dark dust and the evil god of evil darkness by absorbing them. However, he lost his sanity as a result of absorbing evil gods that were of such a different nature from him, and became a berserk god who went on a rampage, unable to tell friend apart from foe.
The resulting chaos allowed Farmaun and the other champions to escape, and the Demon King’s army retreated as well.
The Demon King Guduranis did not go out of his way to defeat the psychotic Zantark; deciding that Zantark’s insanity would continue for some time, he simply let him be for the rest of the war.
Indeed, by the time Zantark regained his sanity, though it was not entirely intact, Guduranis had already been defeated by Bellwood.
After that, it was a very natural flow of events that he joined Vida’s faction instead of Alda’s, as he had become unable to communicate with anyone but evil gods.
After the war between Vida and Alda, he fled to the Demon Continent with the Majin and Kijin ancestors who were his children, as well as Tiamat and the other gods. There, they remained hidden.
He feels truly responsible for the fact that Farmaun joined the enemy; Farmaun was his own champion, and he had failed to teach him about things that were more important than power. But if he were to ask for forgiveness from the other gods, it is possible that they would not only not forgive him, but turn on him. Thus, he has chosen to simply watch over Farmaun.
However, as a war-god, he acknowledges Farmaun’s strength – even though Zantark fought in a crude, berserk way, Farmaun held him back alone when he was still a mortal.
Farmaun Gold – Fire-attribute heroic god, ? years old, male
The champion chosen and summoned by Zantark from the world of Earth, which is similar to Earth. He was known as Touyama Kinji before he changed his name. His parents died when he was still young, and he was aiming to become an adventurer while attending university on the payout from his parents’ life insurance.
When Zantark invited him to another world, he could sense that this would be an adventure of a lifetime, and so he moved to Lambda.
He was an amateur when it came to unarmed combat, but he had been aiming to become an adventurer, so his body was well-trained. It adapted to Zantark’s divine protection quickly, and he acquired the greatest strength in hand-to-hand combat among all of the champions.
Thus, he often fought on the frontlines during the war against the Demon King, and spent much of his time in the company of Bellwood and Nineroad, the other combat-oriented champions.
This led to many opportunities for Farmaun to hear Bellwood’s words, and because they had things in common such as a desire for adventure and a desire to protect the natural environment, his thoughts were painted by Bellwood’s ideologies.
Even after Zakkart and the other creation-oriented champions were destroyed by the Demon King, despite the guilt he felt, defeating the Demon King and saving humanity was a necessity, so he continued to fight alongside Bellwood, who insisted that the other champions’ sacrifice must not go to waste.
The Demon King Guduranis was defeated after many great losses, but the world needed to be restored. Vida separated from Alda and the other gods, followed by her subordinate gods, her believers and the evil gods of the Demon King’s army whom Zakkart had convinced to change sides.
Farmaun thought that this was because the relationship between the former evil gods of the Demon King’s army and Alda and his followers had worsened, and because Vida’s faction had lost faith in Alda’s faction after humanity was pushed to the brink of extinction. Even so, Bellwood was enraged and believed that at least Vida’s distant descendants would understand his perspective.
“Is this not a betrayal?!” he shouted. But Farmaun talked him down and silently watched them leave.
However, approximately a hundred years later, he heard from Bellwood, whose lifespan had been extended by Alda, that Vida had lost her sanity.
Though the world had to be restored while battling against the remnants of the Demon King’s army and the monsters that continued to multiply in number, Vida had mated with evil gods to produce races that could be called neither man nor monster, as well as true monster races such as Noble Orcs, High Kobolds and High Goblins.
On top of that, in her efforts to bring Zakkart back to life, she had turned him into an Undead and created the fearsome Vampires, as well as corpse-eating demons called Ghouls. That was what Bellwood told Farmaun.
No harmless Undead that could be reasoned with existed in Lambda at the time, and Zantark stood as proof that even gods could go mad. Thus, Farmaun did not doubt Bellwood’s words.
Bellwood insisted that at this rate, Vida would gather more forces and become an inerasable threat to the still-recovering humanity. Agreeing with him, Farmaun made the decision to fight against his former comrades.
But when it came to the actual war, Vida’s cities did have sturdy walls, but they were unprepared for large-scale battles. The new races that were neither man nor monster were supposedly evil, but the only difference between them and humans was their appearances; they helped and protected one another.
Farmaun faced his former comrade in arms, Zorcodrio, who was now a Pure-breed Vampire. Though he was supposedly an inhuman monster, he was just as noble as he had been during the war against the Demon King.
“In what part of this attack is your so-called justice?! Or are you saying that we have made some error to deserve this terrible persecution?!” Zorcodrio demanded.
Farmaun felt a sense of discomfort, but then became locked in battle against Zantark, and had no time to think about anything other than combat.
After the war ended in Vida and Zantark’s defeat, Farmaun began to wonder whether he and his allies had been too hasty in their decision to attack.
This was part of the reason that he formed the Adventurers’ Guild once the population of human immigrants to the Bahn Gaia continent had grown to some extent, tried to preserve the achievements of Zakkart and the other creation-oriented champions, and instructed the Guild to accept anyone who wished to join, regardless of their race.
But it was several years after Bellwood and the evil god of sinful chains struck each other down, and Bellwood fell into a slumber, that Farmaun became aware of the mistakes that he and his allies had made.
Continuing his work to maintain the world on behalf of Zantark, who had become unable to return to his original Divine Realm due to having fused with evil gods, he left Alda’s forces and is now a part of Vida’s faction.
However, he allowed them to strike him a hundred times as a way of atonement, and his relations with the gods of Vida’s faction were very stiff before Vandalieu arrived on the Demon Continent.
Dalton – Dark Elf, 155 years old, male
A member of the Storm of Tyranny, an S-class adventurer party from the Amid Empire. With the help of the Adventurers’ Guild receptionist whose heart Schneider had won, he registered with the Guild as a human.
He disguises himself in human society with a Magic Item that makes his ears look round. With achievements such as arriving at the Demon Continent and returning alive, he became an S-class adventurer before he knew it.
He has a muscular figure, a mohawk and likes spiked leather clothing; he also carries a spiked staff that he can also use as a club. He is often told that he looks like a criminal, and most women and children who see him for the first time are afraid of him. Just as one would expect from his appearance, he speaks with a rough tone and is unmatched when it comes to drinking.
However, his personality is considerably closer to that of an ordinary person than Schneider’s, and he is kind to women and children. He is the type who can have a fistfight with someone down by the river in the afternoon and then be friendly with them again by the evening.
He is a devout follower of Vida, and generally views Alda’s clergymen, the Amid Empire and the noble families of the empire as enemies. However, he does not detest the Amid Empire’s people to the point that he would massacre them indiscriminately; in that regard, he can be considered a part of a moderate faction.
His hair and fashion choices are not for the purpose of disguising himself in human society; they were popular trends among the Dark Elves of his home village several thousand years ago. Thus, he considers himself to be the nostalgic type.
He dresses this way even in human society as a way to highlight the irony of the fact that humans persecute members of Vida’s races, but take no notice of him just because his ears appear round.
Dalton was Schneider’s first ally. Before meeting Schneider, he never ventured into human society. He helped the hidden villages of Vida’s races in the western region of the continent move around, maintained coordination between the races and helped them solve problems.
One day, he heard that there was an adventurer coming and going from a hidden village of Lamias. Suspicious, he went to investigate and encountered a young Schneider, and the two of them became good friends.
At first, Dalton trained Schneider, who was still just a C-class adventurer at the time, but Schneider became a comrade of equal strength before long. Thus, Dalton was Schneider’s master.
However, the story told to the public in human society is that he is a survivor of a primitive tribe whom Schneider found and deemed to have good qualities.
He is an extremely capable individual.
In the distant past, he was a standard Dark Elf spiritual mage, but after changing his fashion style to his current one, he began using clubs as weapons, and many of his Jobs and Skills have the “Barbarian” prefix. He has interpreted this as having become one with his primitive nature, and sees it as a positive thing.
He is accompanied by many spirits, but for some reason, when they show themselves before others, they have a mohawk like him, and they often have piercings and tattoos as well. It seems that they consider him a friend and like to mimic him.
He has recently acquired Vida’s divine protection and another mysterious one, and he has also become able to summon familiar spirits, so he and Schneider are very pleased with this.
However, he thinks that soon, Vandalieu’s spirit clones will descend instead when he summons a familiar spirit… It seems that the dream in which he received the mysterious divine protection was quite frightening.
Incidentally, he did not register at the Tamers’ Guild. This is because Schneider has not won the heart of the receptionist there.
He did have other chances to register later, but he decided that it would just cause more work for him at that point, so he did not register in the end.

Merdin – Dwarf, 42 years old, female
A small but fashionable Dwarf dancer from the marine nation of Galahad, which is a vassal nation of the Amid Empire. Her father made a name for himself by felling an Elder Treant and changing occupation from lumberjack to adventurer.
Wanting to be an adventurer like her father, Merdin registered at the Guild once she came of age, but… she was betrayed by her party members, who stole her money and equipment. She spent her nights crying and was forced to work as a dancer in a bar, and she met Schneider and Dalton by coincidence when they happened to visit her bar to drink.
A strange series of events led her to joining forces with them to beat her former party members, who had become exclusive guards for the corrupt merchants running the city’s red-light district, to a pulp, and she became one of Schneider’s companions in the aftermath. The whole ordeal took place within just three hours.
With her joining Schneider, the Storm of Tyranny was formed.
Merdin was a believer of Botin, but when Schneider and Dalton told her the truth, she chose to believe them, as it was them who had helped her in her time of need, and not the believers of Alda… though she would never have imagined that this would result in her opposing the Empire and participating in large-scale activities for the protection of Vida’s races.
She is a stable character, and often helps Schneider restrain the reckless Dalton, whose personality is only somewhat ordinary… or at least, she is supposed to, but there are many occasions when she participates in the reckless rampage.
She is thought to be one of Schneider’s lovers, and this is actually true.
Though she danced unwillingly before, she seems to have taken a liking to it; she continues with her dancing as a hobby and also as a part of her training. As a result, she possesses agility that one would not expect from a Dwarf. She takes a certain amount of pride in her dancing, and she is always willing to accept a dancing challenge.
As an adventurer, she stands on the frontline, striking her foes with her axe and evading their attacks with the agility that she gained through her dancing.
Incidentally, her Active Skill ‘Dance Robe Technique’ is a superior version of the Armor Technique Skill, and her Unique Skill ‘Harps’ Divine Protection’ is that of Harps, the god of lumberjacks, a subordinate god of Botin.

Lissana (Jurizanapipe) – Elf (Evil god of degeneration and intoxication), 98 years old, female
The fourth individual to join the Storm of Tyranny. She appears to be a beautiful young Elf at first glance, but she is actually an evil god who was reincarnated as an Elf.
At Zakkart’s invitation, she betrayed the Demon King’s army and fought Guduranis alongside the humans in the war that took place a hundred thousand years ago, but she was defeated and chose to be reincarnated rather than sealed away by Alda’s forces.
As a result, she escaped safely, but… she was reincarnated a hundred thousand years later, as an Elf. She hadn’t expected so much time to pass, and the Elf body she gained was much more fragile and frailer than she had expected.
She also suffered from the fact that it took time for her body to develop. A decade or two would have felt short to her in the past, but it was a long time to spend in the body of a child.
After that, the name ‘Jurizanapipe’ had been erased in human society by Alda’s forces, so she became an adventurer in order to gain followers and regain her former power, and also to gather information.
She intended to increase her fame and use the people who respected her as her believers. Her final goal was to cross the Boundary Mountain Range and join Vida’s faction.
However, she encountered Schneider, whose intuition allowed him to realize that she was an evil god. Lissana thought that she would have no choice but to fight him, but Schneider was uninterested in fighting.
“Tell me the truth about what happened a hundred thousand years ago!” he pleaded.
Lissana told him what she knew, and through various twists and turns, they became allies.
She is the evil god that Schneider is known to have ‘defeated.’
As someone who was directly involved in the battle that took place a hundred thousand years ago, she is the member of the party with the deepest anger towards Farmaun. This also seems largely due to the fact that every Adventurers’ Guild branch has a statue of Farmaun as if worshiping him, however.
She plays a backline mage role in the party, but she actually possesses enough strength to fight on the frontline. When she first joined the Storm of Tyranny, she was targeted by assassins who had grudges towards Schneider and his companions, but… she repelled them every time, earning her the ‘Assassin Slayer’ Title.
As she is an evil god, it would be expected that she has a different sense of values from humans, but… as she has been reincarnated and now possesses the body of an Elf, the structure of her mind has partially become closer to that of a mortal. This is why she has acquired the ‘Semi-grotesque Mind’ Skill.
She has acquired many Jobs and Skills related to alcohol. Incidentally, Schneider ordinarily abstains from drinking, but drinks with Lissana to boost his Attribute Values when the situation calls for it.
Originally an evil god, Lissana did not have a Status. However, by being reincarnated as an Elf, she has become a part of the Status system.
Incidentally, she is able to exert some amount of control over which parts of her Status are displayed. In the below Status, the information in brackets is not known to the Adventurers’ Guild.

Sieg – Human, 3 years old, male
Zorcodrio’s stepson, who will turn four years old this year. His real father is Marshukzarl, the emperor of the Amid Empire.
Marshukzarl plotted a scheme in which he brainwashed the woman pregnant with his son and altered her memories so that she would later be rescued by the Storm of Tyranny.
On top of that, Sieg is actually a reincarnated individual like Vandalieu, the ‘Skanda’ Tanaka Jin.
However, though his memories and personality awakened temporarily, they faded away again, and he is also unaware of the situation regarding his true father.
He is a child of mixed race between the half-Elf Marshukzarl and a human mother, but he is human in race, and his appearance reflects that. He has not inherited any Elf-like features other than that his ears may be just slightly longer than average.
His true father is an emperor, the father who is raising him is an Abyssal Pure-breed Vampire, and he will soon be an older brother to a Dhampir sibling. It is likely that a life full of trouble awaits him.
Heinz – Human, 28 years old, male
The leader of Alda’s peaceful faction and national hero of the Orbaume Kingdom, who entered Alda’s Dungeon in order to become Bellwood’s successor and question Alda’s justice and will.
He intended to conquer the Trial of Zakkart to avenge Martina, who was also his lover, but Vandalieu conquered it first, and Heinz entered Alda’s Dungeon instead.
He has done many things in the name of Alda’s peaceful faction, such as protecting the Dhampir Selen, protesting against the Adventurers’ Guild that discriminates against Vida’s races, and turning in corrupt merchants capturing and selling members of Vida’s races.
However, he still belongs to human society, and he has merely been aiming to achieve a peace to the extent that human society would allow, thinking that this extent would grow wider someday.
Vandalieu intuitively realized this and decided that Heinz is not valuable enough to warrant suppressing his hatred in order to let him live.
Heinz also strongly believes that Undead are unnatural, dangerous creatures that should not exist, so his views are indeed incompatible with Vandalieu’s.
He lost the heroic spirit Joshua, whom he was able to summon via the ‘Heroic Spirit Descent’ Skill that awakened from Familiar Spirit Descent, to Vandalieu. On top of that, both his heart and his soul were deeply wounded by the attack that Darcia inflicted on him while he was in a soul-only state, and he is currently recovering in the Divine Realm of Mill, the goddess of slumber.
Edgar – Human, 31 years old, male
The scout of the Five-colored Blades. He is a senpai over the other party members when it comes to being an adventurer, and he has supported the party as such.
He is not strongly religious; he never really considered himself to be a follower of any particular god, but becoming a part of Heinz’s party made him a follower of Alda, and he gained Niltark’s divine protection without even realizing it.
He has the kind of face that one would definitely see at least one of if they were to visit a slum; he has short hair, an unpleasant look in his eye and a stubble. As his appearance would suggest, he did originally grow up in a slum.
Because of his background, he shows sympathy for the poor. This is also the cause for his appreciation for many of Heinz’s activities as part of Alda’s peaceful faction; many members of Vida’s races living in human society live in poverty as well.
However, he shows no mercy towards Vida’s races that harm human society, like Ghouls and Majin. He deals with them in the same way as monsters and bandits. He hesitates a little when faced with powerless women and children, but he decides that it is best to put them to rest, as they wouldn’t be able to survive even if they were spared (because they are so powerless).
He also considers Vandalieu to be a threat to human society, but more importantly, he is a dangerous enemy who is after the lives of Edgar and his companions.
Vandalieu wounded Edgar to the point that his soul was on the verge of collapsing. Alda, having decided it likely that Edgar would become disabled as a result, asked Rodcorte to repair his soul. Rodcorte is apparently using the soul fragments of Niltark’s heroic spirit Luke, who was destroyed during the battle against Vandalieu, but… whether Edgar will return as the old Edgar is very uncertain.
Delizah – Dwarf, 32 years old, female
A blue-haired Dwarf woman, the last of the original members of the Five-colored Blades. She supports the party’s defense.
She chose to support Heinz in his activities as a part of Alda’s peaceful faction because she had seen his potential as a hero.
She did not dislike doing good deeds, and becoming high-class adventurers would mean that they would play a bigger role in society. However, she simply chose the same path as Heinz.
But she does have compassion for those other than her party members; she thinks of Selen as her younger sister, and she hopes that her activities as a part of Alda’s peaceful faction will lead to a world where Selen can live in peace.
She feels some sympathy and guilt towards Vandalieu, but she prioritizes fulfilling her role as a shield-bearer over those emotions.
She is currently resting in the Divine Realm of Mill, the goddess of slumber, after having sustained a small amount of damage to her soul. However, she is planning to return to the ‘city’ where Jennifer and Diana are waiting in a few days’ time.
She is an exceptional shield-bearer, but her taunting-related martial skills have no effect on Vandalieu, and he has multiple attacks that she cannot block with her shield (such as Bloodlust), making him one of the worst foes that she could possibly face.
The below Status is her Status at the time of the battle against Vandalieu.

Diana – Elf, 111 years old, female
The Elf woman who joined the Five-colored Blades after they entered the Orbaume Kingdom and faced the Trial of Zakkart. She is a priestess of Mill, the goddess of slumber, who is a life-attribute subordinate god of Alda.
She comes from a Church of Mill in a remote place; she was raised there after being born an atavistic Elf to a human mother who took shelter there.
TLN: Elves can be born to human parents through recessive genes in Japanese fantasy works.
When her mother died, she left the Church to continue her training and became an adventurer, as the occupation was convenient for traveling between various countries. She repeatedly formed and disbanded temporary parties as she went from city to city, duchy to duchy, and met Heinz and his companions one fateful day. At that moment, she received a Divine Message from Mill. Sensing that this was her destiny, she joined the Five-colored Blades.
She is a typical Elf-like beauty with a dainty figure, almond-shaped eyes and long hair. She is in charge of supporting her allies with spells as well as the party’s healing. She is able to cast some offensive spells, but it is not her specialty. She is the member of the Five-colored Blades with the lowest offensive ability, but her true value lies in her support of her allies.
It was Heinz’s influence that led to her becoming a part of Alda’s peaceful faction, but her protection of the Dhampir Selen is not because of her belonging to that faction; it is something that she has chosen to do as a person. Through acts such as these, she has learned that Vida’s races are no different from human races.
This is why she was very shocked to learn from Vandalieu that Ghouls are a race created by Vida.
Of course, she does believe that Undead are an evil that should not exist, as one would expect of a priestess of a god who belongs to Alda’s faction.
She is currently in the ‘city’ with Jennifer, waiting for Heinz and the others to return.
Incidentally, she is not only an honorary noble in the Orbaume Kingdom, but also an honorary high priestess in the Church of Mill.

Jennifer – Human, 22 years old, female
Like Diana, she is a female adventurer who joined the Five-colored Blades after they entered the Orbaume Kingdom and faced the Trial of Zakkart. She had already been a well-known martial artist, and she was determined to conquer the Trial of Zakkart herself.
When she first joined the party, she acted self-important and spoke in a stiff tone, but she gradually showed her faults and is now completely herself in front of her companions.
She acts as a part of Alda’s peaceful faction because of Heinz’s influence and because of her interactions with the Dhampir Selen that the party rescued.
That is why, like Diana, she was shocked to learn that Ghouls are a race created by Vida… The reason she is not shocked by learning that Majin are as well is because all of the Majin that she has defeated in the Orbaume Kingdom so far have been dangerous criminals. There is no reason to show mercy to individuals who pillage like bandits and plot conspiracies to destroy entire duchies, even if they are members of Vida’s races.
Thus, she does not regret exterminating adult Ghouls who attacked adventurers and traveling merchants, but…
She is currently in the ‘city’ with Diana, waiting for her companions to return.
The below Status is her Status at the time of the battle against Vandalieu.

- Alda’s Divine Protection
Curatos – The god of records
Originally a familiar spirit who served Alda since Lambda’s creation, Curatos ascended to become a subordinate god. He was a light-attribute god and, at the same time, a record-keeper for Alda. This is why there are no Churches or roadside shrines that are solely dedicated to him.
Statues of Alda carry a tome, which is considered a symbol of Curatos, and so he is worshipped alongside Alda.
As he existed from before the war against the army brought to Lambda by the Demon King Guduranis, he was one of the gods who understood Alda’s ideal of returning the world to the way it was before the Demon King appeared.
However, he lacked emotion, and was often incapable of understanding the illogical behaviors and inconsistent emotions of humans. This is because he did not have his own followers and did not spread his own teachings to the humans, so there was more of a distance between him and humans compared to other gods.
However, he considered that to be convenient for his role as a god who kept records, so although he did lament that he could not understand humans, he never made an effort to.
He kept detailed records since immediately after the world’s creation, and he used those to utilize his own Divine Realm as Alda’s Dungeon. However, he created a perfect copy of the real Vandalieu, causing the real Vandalieu’s soul to enter the Dungeon.
At the cost of being destroyed after having his soul devoured by Vandalieu’s attack, he protected the deeper floors of the Dungeon, including the part that was connected to the Divine Realm in which Bellwood slumbers. However, he left a copy of his records for his master Alda.
But there are no gods among Alda’s forces who are as proficient at handling records as he was.
Incidentally, as Curatos has been destroyed, all of the tomes held by the statues of Alda around the world have crumbled to pieces. Alda’s followers are busy preparing to repair these.
Gozoroff – Dwarf, 127 years old, male
Gozoroff, also known as the ‘Hyena.’ An infamous villain who committed many crimes around Morksi, one of the numerous cities in the Alcrem Duchy.
In addition to standard bandit activities, he was involved in a wide variety of criminal activities such as trading people and stolen goods, contract killings, and drug cultivating and purifying operations.
Most of these crimes were outside the city; he pillaged villages and traveling merchants, and even when he assassinated people, he would wait for the targets to venture outside the city.
This was because the organization above Gozoroff’s is in the city of Morksi.
He made his way up in the world wielding cruelty and violence as his weapons rather than careful strategy, and he was far too capable in combat to be a bandit leader. This is because he was once the leader of a mercenary band, and even after becoming a criminal, he forced harsh training on his subordinates.
However, Vandalieu happened to pick the city of Morksi out of a number of possible candidate cities to infiltrate, and Gozoroff’s organization was wiped out as a result. Gozoroff was fortunate enough to survive Vandalieu’s parasite-type Demon King familiar combat experiment, but he was taken back to Talosheim alive and became one of the human experiment samples for Luciliano’s experiments in the underground workshop beneath the castle.
He was then turned into a suitable Golem after his death.
Incidentally, he possessed strength equal to a C-class adventurer while he was still alive.

Aggar – Human, 31 years old, male
A veteran guard in the city of Morksi. He cannot be said to be particularly exceptional, but he has acquired the experience that one would expect someone of his age to have.
He is a minor villain who extorts small amounts of money from visitors to the city who are in vulnerable positions and accepts bribes from merchants and adventurers.
Even when he catches prostitutes and pickpockets during his patrols around the city, if their crimes are too small, turning them in won’t be achievements, so he often lets them go in exchange for money.
However, he has kept his job by making sure not to get involved in really bad things.
Naturally, he has never been truly involved with the ‘Hyena’ Gozoroff or the organization above to his… In a broad sense, he does have connections to them, but they only contact him when they need something, and he merely sells them information for a small amount of money and performs small tasks (such as delaying his patrols by pretending to have diarrhea). In other words, he is someone of equal standing as any of the city’s hoodlums.
That is why he has fearlessly extorted a bribe from Vandalieu and tried to get his hands on Darcia… Ignorance is bliss, but at this rate, his choices and actions may end in his own demise.
He is no more capable than an average city guard (soldier). However, he does possess a few special skills, as one might expect from a veteran minor villain.

Race explanation (Written by Luciliano): Chaos Elf
The newest race created by Vida of which Darcia, following her transformation into Vida’s incarnation in her Divine Realm and subsequent resurrection using the root of life, is the founding ancestor.
Chaos Elves are normally no different in appearance from Dark Elves other than the color of their skin being a little darker, and it can be assumed that their Skills and such also revolve around a Dark Elf base.
I believe that their racial traits are their high regenerative capabilities and exceptional Vitality.
I also believe that the entire race possesses a Unique Skill called Chaos. It is a Skill that allows the user to transform their body, and although the forms and types of transformation vary from individual to individual, it is a powerful Skill that allows the user to gain Skills that ordinary people would be unable to acquire.
As there are only three Chaos Elves in existence at present, it is impossible to tell whether any other traits are unique to Chaos Elves or whether they are individual characteristics. Furthermore, their lifespan is still impossible to measure.
My research would progress much more quickly if more Dark Elves and Elves would become Chaos Elves…
Those willing would simply need to receive the blessing of the race’s ancestor, Darcia, in the form of a kiss. I would like them to apply at Talosheim’s royal castle.
Once Darcia returns from the city of Morksi, I would examine any applicants, and then I assume that I would simply need to call them forward, or Darcia would visit them herself.
I am sure that the Dark Elf ancestor, who is apparently currently sealed away, would forgive me.

Sailon
“He has done many things in the name of Alda’s peaceful faction, such as protecting the Dhampir Selen, protesting against the Adventurers’ Guild that discriminates against Vida’s races, and turning in corrupt merchants capturing and selling members of Vida’s races.
However, he still belongs to human society, and he has merely been aiming to achieve a peace to the extent that human society would allow, thinking that this extent would grow wider someday.”
Prove of Heinz hypocrisy make clear he only help Vida races if dont cause inconvenience to humans, even if a membet of Vida race is innocent and suffer injustices if protect them would cause any inconvenience to human society he would turn a blind eye, meaning he sees Vida races lives as not so important as of people.
MeiOuSei
There hasn’t been an update in so long 🙁 I hope Yoshi and Sebas-san are alright 🥺
Vitor
He is accompanied by many spirits, but for some reason, when they show themselves before others, they have a mohawk like him, and they often have piercings and tattoos as well. It seems that they consider him a friend and like to mimic him.
Oh god, that’s an image I need to see…
Also… oh god, we knew that Schneider and Zod was utterly broken, but all the party are monsters, even Merdin who was supposed to be the most normal of them has 2 awakened skills at frigging level 10, and Dalton has a absurd amount of awakened skills, Lissana’s main atribute as a goddess is most likely water, this would explain the water atrubute nullification, and her only awakened magic is water (Intoxication magic), Intoxication magic has to be Water-Atribute Magic awakened because there is no other Water-Atribute Magic and she has gone throught the Water-Atribute Mage job.
Also, yes, Edgar is an ***hole, at least Delizah has some simpathy for Van, thought she will still fight him because he wants to kill her, which is understandable, but that **tch only sees him as “a threat to human society, but more importantly, he is a dangerous enemy who is after the lives of Edgar and his companions.”, You fking killed his mother, what did you expect?? him treating you to a meal??
Vitor
I forgot to comment… Martina’s being Heinz’s lover sets up for a nice, lovely, cruel revenge when Van turns her corpse into an undead
Vitor
And… wait a second… for what we know, Vampires halt their growth adn they don’t get older… and nothing has stated that they change in any ways when their rank increases… how come Eleanora’s chest size increased??
Baru-san
when van doing surgery on eleanora and bellmond he used part of ternecia body to heal them
Zenden1st
next volume!!!!
WizziBot
Gonna need an extra alphabet or two if Tiamat is to participate in the bust rankings lmfao
Baldingere
I interpret “water attribute nullification” as a result of lissana being an exagerated alcohol lover! She can’t stand water and that gave birth to the skill!
Did Van spread entertainement to the demons? I bet it would be great.
Vitor
more likely her atribute as a Goddess is Water, since it’s also her only awakened magic skill
Zauberbiest
im really curious to see what a female dwarf looks like in this series lmao
maybe they r just short adults i suppose?,
with muscular traits … really though makes you think how the titans were viewed so indifferently as they seem to be just a tall ”dwarf” race of human
mickeyduck
honestly, i’m also very confused because if i imagine them as 4ft tall adults with little limbs, i find it hard to take them seriously
Raidanzoup
If Van wanted to be particularly nasty to Heinz he could just go ahead and radicalize little Selen who’s still young and impressionable. Heinz may be a guider, but it’s not like Van can’t match that three times over plus some demi-divinity.
Zauberbiest
lmao i wanna see that happen xD
Randy Rando
Also, he’s Vida’s holy son and Mr. Ketchup has the “Vida’s mortal enemy” title.

Thanks for the chapter and just wanted to say that you never linked it to the next chapter. not sure if this was intentional or not as it was the end of the volume but figured I’d mention it.
Tejing
The back and next buttons only work within a volume… that’s just how the site is designed. Though I also think it would be nice if they continued through volume boundaries.
Ace o laemons
u need the transgressor title to freely cross volume boundaries.
Vandalieu-sama's Nun
Not to lie, I did enjoy this little summary. Makes me love some of the characters even more as for poor dear Heinz let’s just say he is in for a “rage” . I honestly didn’t think Death Mage would be twice as long as Tensei Slime, just proves Van-sama’s story is a big one.
Zauberbiest
rly? its longer? does that mean the novel’s have already reached the end for that series ? i lost interest after the anime came out.
WizziBot
I read the Web novel cause translation was taking a long time and they deviated from the main plot in the LN so yeah kinda lost interest after finishing the WN.

I’ve finally caught up after restarting this novel. I feel nothing but not and emptiness as i realize I have to wait for more chapters
Kuro-san
“He dresses this way even in human society as a way to highlight the irony of the fact that humans persecute members of Vida’s races, but take no notice of him just because his ears appear round.”
Now I respect this guy a lot.
OokamiNoO
Despites what it says here, I dont think the members of Heinz´s party see Selen like a kid or a little sister but like a pet. An animal to convice themselfs that what they are doing is the right choice
Haraken
They did use her as bait in order to draw out Alda extremists. They easily forgo the route in which she is the safest in order to reap the most benefit for themselves.
Jonathan Hurd
As much as I hate defending Heinz and co I do feel that I should point out the reasoning behind using Selen as bait. Those Alda extremists were coming for her no matter what. While she was bait she was being looked after by Diana and Delizah the two most defensively strong members. Better to lure them out while she’s protected rather than have them come while they’re away.
I feel Heinz and his party do truly love Selen. I will say though that they love Selen despite being a Dhamphir rather loving her as a member of Vidas races. They only seem to have bothered helping Vidas races based on what will affect her.
They started actively hunting Vampires because they threaten Selen. They protested the Adventurer Guilds racism because it was aimed at her. However they don’t care about killing ghouls and majin. They also never bothered to help the oppressed Titans and Scylla. It seems the only reason they help Vidas races is it directly helps them or Selen and no other reason.
Lord Rin
They only come after her because Heinz practically set her up as the mascot/pet and symbol of the so-called peaceful faction. If she wasn’t then she’d probably get no more discrimination than any other dhampir or member of Vida’s races. Anyways the extremists are barely even punished after being lured out. They basically just get a slap on the wrist and a very insincere lecture about how they shouldn’t do this again before releasing them and letting them go back to continuing the same thing probably so Heinz can keep capturing them and making himself look good. Actually it’s also very possible that Heinz allowed Selen’s parents to be killed so he could take custody of her. I mean, the story Heinz put out is that he overheard some people talking about how they were gonna do something to Selen and her parents but instead of immediately acting on this information, Heinz spends who knows how long not really doing anything before finally making a move and showing up at the very last possible second to save Selen and look all good and heroic. It really does look like Heinz and the original Five-Colored Blades only see Selen as a tool to make themselves look good. Though I will admit that the two newest members of Heinz’ group might actually love Selen. Given how shaken up they were after Van revealed to them some information about how ghouls and majin and others that they’ve been killing are actually members of Vida’s races, means that they probably do see Selen as a person and not a tool like the others.
Rasho
I don’t like defending Heinz at all, but he Guided those Alda extremists with his Guidance: Holy Path Skill, so they’re very unlikely to return to being Alda extremists
SuprGofi
Ehh they went on a full vampire hunt because van lead them around thru ternecias people
Bappo_Chan
i shipped Selen and Vandalieu when she was first introduced, but im kidna sad now that it probably wont happen that way. 🙁
Chiu ChunLing
Not anytime soon, at least. She’s even younger than Van and she doesn’t have any crazy growth like Pauvina.

Man, everyone here’s talking about how martini’s heinz ketchup’s lover, but no one’s mentioning the fact that Solder apparently dislikes muscular men, and would not get along very well with our lord and savior, Vandalieu-sama.
bk3k
Zakkart, Ark, Solder, Hillwillow – the names of the heroes who died and had their souls broken. Those soul remnants where put back together into one soul, and that’s Van. I think “getting along” with yourself is a sort of null concept.
Hobbes
I think everybody above and below a certain age range “gets along with themselves” albeit in private…
havok038
This might sound like bigotry from me, but I can’t think of Bellwood as anything but a damn hippie.
And this is the path that Heinz wants to take? From the beginning, all I’ve ever seen in him is a desire to become more powerful than his apparently poor background, no help was given to improving his character by Alda despite his blessings. I guess its shortsightedness of that stubborn god, looking at it narrowly at what he really wants from Heinz, a second Bellwood.
My thought of Selen’s future, I think she might play a part in a turning point for Heinz. As in not a very good one, since Heinz had just reinforced his views to Vandelieu concerning the fate of all Vida’s children. Something along the lines of, “I’m sorry Selen. Perhaps you’ll have a better life in the next reincarnation.”
Honestly, I really hope Vandelieu devours Heinz and Bellwood for their abilities too. While Alda is forced to hold up Lambda like Atlas holding the world.
Jonathan Hurd
I feel like Bellwoods pretty far from Hippies. If I remember correctly Hippies were about love and peace. Bellwood even in his original world was a eco terrorist. Fairly unhippie ways.
I agree with you that Heinz only goal seems to be gathering strength. I’m not a hundred percent sure why. He keeps saying he’s going to confront Alda and the other God’s but he doesn’t seem to question anything they say. When he ends up face to face with Curatos it takes one word from him for them to say “yup Van is evil!”. He was also obsessed with protecting the dungeon because it makes him stronger and no real emphasis on the discussion part.
For Aldas wish I think he doesn’t want a second Bellwood, but more wants the original back so he can follow Bellwoods lead again. Alda hasn’t really taken a step forward or made a major change from what Bellwood told him to do this entire time.
As much as I hate Heinz I really hope it doesn’t come to mercy killing Selen. I agree there could be a turning point with Selen. I think what will happen is she’ll find out that Heinz killed Vans mother and left him to die and is now trying to kill him. That would probably change how she looks at him pretty extremely.
Zauberbiest
i sooo wanna see that happening !
AA
Bellwood isnt a hippie, he’s an actual threat. He cares about nature and the natural order so much that it clouds his reasoning. That’s one of the big philosophical debates in this story ive seen, Change vs Stability/Order. Alda’s vision of a pre-demon lord world is great objectively, but vida’s vision where the harmless changes and creatures that invaded are accepted isn’t bad objectively speaking either; yet the two run completely opposite of the other. As for Heinz he comes in as a sort of middle ground, helping both sides’ vision while not disrupting the status quo. Not once did he seek power, only answers from alda. The empowering was all on alda’s behalf, and for heinz it was just a means to that end. Also I think you misread because he never once stated any ultimatum on ALL of Vida’s children as far as i recall, not to mention the bond he’s forged with Selen so i sincerely doubt he’ll just do an “I’m sorry Selen. Perhaps you’ll have a better life in the next reincarnation.”. It WILL be interesting to see though as to how he reacts to the revelation of darcia’s resurrection, the very foundation of his cause for helping vida and her children.
Jonathan Hurd
Okay so I disagree with you on a few points AA.
There is a fundamental problem comparing what Vida tried to do to restore the world to Aldas way. The problem is Aldas way is impossible. Let’s say Alda gets everything he wants. He kills Vida, all the evil God’s, destroys all monsters and Vidas races, and heck I’ll even throw in resets humans. The problem still stands that there is no way to return the great God’s who were killed. There is no way to get back all the original people who were lost.
Yes objectively speaking that old world with no hostility or violence would be great, but it can never be realized. I mean even if we ignore the missing great God’s and people. Even if Alda reset everyone s memories and minds there would always be one person who would not fit into that Utopia. That person would be Alda himself.
Alda has committed atrocity after atrocity in the name of returning to that paradise. Even if he got there he wouldn’t belong. He has stained his hands to deeply in blood. The road to returning to Aldas perfect world excludes him from joining it.
Compare that to Vida. They lacked people so she made more. She and her children then worked together to try and make a best out of the broken world Bellwoods stupid obstinance left them with.
You can’t really even compare the two plans. One is practical and thought out to adapt to the new world they live in. The other is running away from reality by hurting and destroying everyone they can.
I disagree with the themes you put forward. To me the story isn’t about change versus stability/order. It’s more about acceptance versus bigotry.
Really look at the society Alda built. There is no order or stability. The human race is split into two factions constantly warring against each other. Vidas whole society is built on working together and wanting to be left alone. They didn’t even have a war in the last hundred thousand years til an outside enemy came in.
To move onto Heinz…
He is not helping Vidas side at all currently. The only pro Vida factions things he’s done is adopt Selen, who let’s be honest works more as a publicity stunt than a good deed, and argue Vidas races should be able to join the guild. He admitted in the prefight against Van he knew Majin and Ghouls are Vidas races and he doesn’t care about their indiscriminate slaughter.
He used Darcias death as a means to gain fame and attention while not doing anything to actually help and stand up for the oppressed. He’s showed no signs of changing his views when questioned by Van. At the end of the day Heinz would help Vidas races in the weakest way possible. Not boosting them to equals but to make sure the more human ones aren’t slaughtered but also no where close to humans as far as rights go.
In response to he didn’t seek power. He literally said to Curatos that he needed to protect Aldas dungeon because it helps him become stronger. To me Heinz is and has always been in this for himself. I have no clue what he is trying so hard to work towards. Whether that be fame, riche, revenge, or strength. I can tell you that equality for Vidas races is not it.
Chiu ChunLing
The fact is, Heinz doesn’t really want to protect Vida’s races.
He just wants to protect his image as a ‘hero’.
Protecting Selan is just like that pointless ‘conversation’ he had with Vega, the guy infested with the DK nose. If it had turned out Vega hadn’t maxed out DK Encroachment and was still able to converse rationally, would Heinz have let him go?
“Oh, your DK Encroachment Skill is only 9, you say? You can control it, you say? Well then, let’s tell everyone that it’s fine and you don’t have to be killed!”
Are you able to imagine him following through on that and actually helping Vega so he could live out the rest of his life?
Then what the hell was he even trying to do?
He was just putting on a cheap pose of being ‘compassionate’.
That’s all Selan and the Reconciliation faction are to Heinz. I’m sure Selan, Jennifer, and maybe even Diana think he’s actually sincere. But Edgar and Delizah know him better than that. They get that spouting unrealistic nonsense that only sounds good is a big part of why their party has gotten so far.
They don’t object because they know he’s not serious about it, so he’ll always drop it when it becomes seriously inconvenient.

Alda’s vision might not sound bad on the surface but it is. He wants to return everything to how it was before the Demon Lord invaded which sounds good but in that time there were no advancements because people got the bare minimum essentials provided to them by the gods who directly ruled over everybody. Without advancements then everything stagnates and Alda is trying to enforce that by banning anything that he deems is foreign technology regardless of if it is or is something some native Lambdan independently figured out themselves which thus far HAS caused the world to stagnate and forced Rodcorte to do something about it.
Chiu ChunLing
True, that’s also a point, and the reason for the conflict with Rotcortex as well. No matter how selfish Rotcortex’s reasons for wanting development of Lambda, he’s not wrong that it would help the population thrive.
He’s also not wrong that it would help Alda accomplish wiping out the monster population and shutting down Guduranis’ reincarnation cycle.
But Alda is right that a more culturally advanced civilization might have questions about his values and methods, and be more likely to side with Vida’s races.

I personally hope that Selen at some point ends up with Van for some reason where she learns about his ways and ends up joining him. Afterwards, she could be the driving force to take apart Heinz party starting with Jennifer and Diana who seem to be more open to Vidas races.
kagemao
I keep hoping for a summary of Selen to hint at her getting a bigger part. I’d be bummed if she ended up in the harem, but I think she should be the leader of the reconciliation faction. It seems like Heinz hasn’t really done anything to promote them for a while. Her age and the fact that she is living a sheltered life would make it hard to see her in charge at the moment, though.
Jonathan Hurd
She is kind of the mascot of Heinzs party. She is right now to young and oblivious to really do anything currently.
bk3k
She isn’t joining the Harem. Or at the very least this isn’t the case > 100 chapters later and no indication that will ever happen.
Will she get a bigger part? That depends on how you define “bigger”.

Next chapt pls !!

Hopefully after a 3 week wait we will finally get an actual chapter that continues the main story.
Some dude paid $250 for a character summary lmfao
Nobody2
We were asked a long time ago when Yoshi’s schedule started getting slower if we still wanted him to translate these character pages and we said yes.
Jonathan Hurd
I get that we’re all hungry for a story rich chapter, I am too. The thing is though these character summary chapters help fill in certain important future details. For instance we didn’t know that Martina was Heinz lover before, or where all the members of the five Colored blades stood before this. Next chapters going to be substantial. Let’s stay patient and understanding.
Bushtuckrman
These bootlickers holy shit lmfao quick downvote like its reddit
Yoshi
So edgy man, have you ever considered not behaving like a 12-year-old?
As someone someone else has pointed out, it takes me just as long to translate one of these as regular chapters, and it is a necessity to translate these chapters (skipping them isn’t an option). So yes, the donations do also go towards the character summaries. I don’t see why you’d have a problem with that if you’re not one of the sponsors
Dtar316
either way bro, I am grateful that ur translating this series
Zauberbiest
we should learn japanese instead!!…. and buy the original copies xD
bk3k
That’s the close out of Volume 9, and people want this info too. Whether it is more character data or story doesn’t affect the effort to translate it properly.
The first chapter of volume 10 would be next.
Mossy Stone
Maybe it would be a good idea to stick a chapter between character summaries?
VEreality
New info on the characters is awesome.
Starting the next volume is more awesome!
😀
Thank you Yoshi-sama!!!!!!
adabana
thank you for the chapter.
people in alda faction suck with every info chapter
Nox
Thanks for the chapter.
Is there foreshadowing I see here?
no1
A good amount of information :). Now let’s move onto the 10th volume
Seinvolf
Thank u always for ur great work…

Kazza
Yay! New chapter!
Mostly lore, which is always nice.
*Reads Heinz’s entry*
Wait, what?! Martina was his lover? That’s… Actually pretty interesting. Adds another layer to his determination to conquer the Trial of Zakkart.
Why the Hell is this the first time we’re reading about it?!
Honestly, I’m like 75% sure Densuke made this up as he was writing this summary.
Anyways, I’m glad to read more about the Storm of Tyranny. I always liked them, but I understand why it’s taken so long for them to actually have a conversation with Van. It’d be less satisfying if he pretty much started out with Lambda’s equivalent of a reloadable nuke protecting him instead of some level 1 mobs with room to grow.
However, I’ve also gotta nitpick. I’m sorry, Densuke, if you’re somehow reading this foreign language on a fan translation site, but it doesn’t make sense.
So, this summary explains that Lissana’s reincarnation was relatively recent, but still before she met Schneider. He apparently figured it out, but instead of a fight, he wanted information. We’re not told whether or not Dalton and Merdin were there, but even if they were, they definitely wouldn’t say anything.
But then:
“Lissana told him what she knew, and through various twists and turns, they became allies. She is the evil god that Schneider is known to have ‘defeated.’”
Wait, how’d that get out? When I first heard it, I assumed Lissana was chilling in a cave or something, and Schneider was sent to destroy her (as presumably only an S-class would stand a chance). After whatever fight/discussion they had, I then assumed they would come up with the reincarnation option, as Luvesfol shows that reincarnation for gods can be done relatively quickly, and he was in a hurry.
But now, she was already reincarnated when they met? Then why is he known as having fought her? The summary explicitly tells us they did not fight. Does he go around bragging that he fake beat up a god without proof? Was it some drunken confession he accidentally made?
Sorry, Densuke. My Retcometer has now risen to 85%. I’m callin’ it! You pulled a Retcon!
Joking aside, anyone got a theory about the contradiction?
Tejing
Lissana started building a following as an evil god after her reincarnation, so she became known as one, and a request was sent out to defeat her. Schna probably accepted the request, but sensed something was different from his expectations when they actually met. They talked, became allies, and agreed to pretend that he had succeeded. She probably didn’t use her elf form when she was building a following, so it wasn’t connected to her identity as an evil god, so it was safe for her elven identity to become Schna’s party member.
Jonathan Hurd
From what the summary says I think Lissania was first going to become a famous adventurer. Using that fame to attract people she would probably pick out the trust worthy ones and tell them the truth. Afterwards she’d lead the faithful with her over the mountain. I think Schnieder saw through her at step one becoming famous as a Adventurer.
Chiu ChunLing
That doesn’t make any sense. The only reason to defer seeking worshippers till after she established a place in human society would be if she wanted only human worshippers. There’s no reason for her to only want human worshippers, and there is a major reason to avoid gaining worshippers who are part of human society, since that would create a high danger of compromising her secret identity. Since she’s a Vida aligned Evil God, it would make far more sense for her to gain worshippers among Vida races, especially those with Ranks, who are NOT part of human society in the Amid Empire.
Jonathan Hurd
Okay so I think you have mixed up Lisanas story. The story as I understand it is…
Lisana starts as an evil God with Guduranis.
Joins Zakart.
Guduranis loses and Vida separates from Alda.
Alda attacks them
She gets cornered and weakened by Alda and Co.
To escape she decides to reincarnate to avoid being sealed.
She wakes up almost 100k years later as a female elf with the soul of an evil god.
She has a normal elf body so has to wait for her body to mature before she can get revenge or join Vida.
To do those two goals she needs to gather positive attention and followers. Easiest way to do that would be to become an Adventurer.
Before her plan starts Schneider comes across her. He believes in Vida and wants to know more about the truth of the war with Alda back then so he talks to her and they hit it off.
For faking defeating/sealing the evil God like reported that’s actually pretty easy. Make a few giant explosions and blow up the cave. Say you fought the evil God off and when it was weakened it ran away. Add in that Lisana was being held captive by the evil God and have her corroborate your story.
If you need proof of sealing the evil God. That ones not to hard either. Seal the soul of some fairly powerful evil Dragon or demon in an item and say that it is the soul of the evil God. No one is going to be insane enough to break the seal to check.
All in all the Evil God will be gone from the cave so no one’s should be able to prove Schneider didn’t win.
Kazza
Well, I don’t know if you meant me or the other guy, but I don’t disagree with anything you said. I don’t doubt that they can fake the evil God thing, I’m wondering why they would need to. Lissana had everything she needs, a true identity, a mortal body, and family line that basically screams “Am-not-anything-but-normal-elf.” Unless it was just a scheme to get Schneider to S-class, which was not said.
Honestly, I know I made the Retcon joke like they’re the incarnation of diabetic cancer, but Retcons aren’t inherently bad. Darth Vader being Luke’s Father is a Retcon. The Eighth Guidance are a Retcon. Retcons are perfectly fine, as long as you put in the legwork to make it gel with the presented universe. I’m not even saying this Retcon makes the story worse, it only affects the backstory of a minor character.
All I’m saying is that I suspect the author didn’t think too long about it, and didn’t notice the contradiction. That’s not to insult his writing, as this is honestly one of my favorite LNs.
Jonathan Hurd
Was mainly for you. Basically answering the question you left at the end of the first post about the contradiction in Lisanas appearances. Honestly I didn’t really bother going back to review so it might be a bit more off than what I remember.
I do also agree I don’t think retconning is to terrible a thing overall either. I will say I think what the authors done here is less changing Lisanas past and more just filling it out.
To me retconning is more like the whole Gredo shot at Hon first in starwars. The Vader was Luke’s father seems less retconning and just redirecting the effort. I will just say at this point though that this is just me floundering about grammar. You’re not wrong I’m just nitpicky.
Kazza
Yeah, I only define Vader as a Retcon because George Lucas originally only wrote episode 4 and expected it to fail. When it achieved such success, they then wrote 5 & 6 with a lot of the drama surrounding the dynamic.
Lord Rin
I’m a bit surprised that Kanako hasn’t tried to convince Merdin to become an idol magical girl since she’s so good at dancing. Also since Lissana (Jurizanapipe) has reincarnated as an elf and can gain levels and stuff like any other race of Lambda, I wonder if she could get divine protections?
I wonder that if the dark elf ancestor gets unsealed, could they be turned into a chaos elf?
On another note, why exactly is Shade participating in the bust ranking in the first place? Aren’t they male?
Kazza
Didn’t Van get like 3rd place in the “Choose-Your-Waifu” Fan Poll?
Sebas, back me up please?
We don’t judge here. We are all worshippers of the trap God(dess?) of Death!
VEreality
Hmmmm where could one see this fan poll that you are talking about? I want to know the rest of the list.
Jonathan Hurd
Speak for yourself for not judging… Who didn’t vote for Van as ultimate Waifu! Hes the perfect package. Strong, handsome, hardworking, good at the housework, holds down multiple jobs, perfect hugging size, and cute. Add in his transforming capabilities and he can be anyone’s fantasy. Death God Waifu number 1!
Randomreader
Where is the poll/results. I need to know
iamleejn
Shade is indeed male. However, post-eclipse Legion (re)gained new forms based on the original bodies on it’s members. Shade’s form is apparently androgynous. I guess it’s close enough to take part in the rankings.
Sebas Tian
Shade’s not male, they don’t remember what body type or gender they originally had. Their current form is still basically neither gender or both at the same time.
Chiu ChunLing
While Shade’s original sexuality is unknown, the corpses he preferred were healthy, strong men freshly killed by Pluto’s ability, especially when adjusted to cause no physical damage to the corpse.
This preference appears to have been for simple functionality and availability rather than any expression of sexual orientation.
Tejing
Shade no longer remembers his/her human identity, including his/her former gender. I guess that was enough ambiguity to participate in the bust rankings if he/she wanted to.
Jonathan Hurd
I feel Kanako will definitely recruit Meridin and she should become a magical girl. The reason why not is that Schneider and Co are to busy to visit Taloshiem. Things have been getting crazy on the Amid Empire side so they have to help Vida’s hidden villages. That is also why Schneider hasn’t been able to give Van pointers on unarmed technique and Zod try and teach Van muscle technique lol.
Lissana should probably be able to get divine protections, but you can only receive a divine protection from those stronger than you. Also while her body is mortal her soul is still a God’s so probably not to smart to give protections to other God’s.
Tejing
So Martina was Heinz’ lover huh? If Van manages to use Martina’s corpse or ghost to taunt him… it’s gonna work a bit better than he expected I guess. I can’t help but think this fact will be important later.
Lord Rin
Unfortunately I don’t think he can. I think they said that all the spirits were too damaged from staying in the dungeon that they don’t look like their original forms or remember their former identities. As for Martina’s corpse, it’s probably already been eaten by a passing monster or destroyed by the harsh conditions in the dungeon.
Tejing
The ghosts lost their identities and memories, but it’s possible they’ll gain them back as they rank up, so that’s not out of the question. As for her corpse, Van has it (gufadgarn was able to point out which of the statues was her), but just hasn’t decided what to do with it yet.
Superboy8338
HELL YEAH!!! PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE, BABY!!!!
VEreality
Bruh this sounds like foreshadowing for some late game/ volume end plot line. Now the question is would Van use her as a hostage or will the gods tell Heinz about this in order to determine him to try and end Van before he could do anything to her soul?
Jonathan Hurd
Van did get Martina’s body from Zakkarts dungeon and was planning to use it to taunt Heinz. Considering how limited Alda’s info network is there’s no way he knows about that plan. Also considering Aldas doctrine there is nothing to rescue only an undead to destroy.
To me I can see a few different scenarios happening using the her undead body. One is let Heinz watch as Van kills someone he loves for once.
Another one could be bring her in when Heinz yells at Van for bringing his mom back to life. I can just imagine Van being like “isn’t there someone in your life you wish you could have back… someone like her?”
Honestly he could do both in a row. That’d be a nice one two punch. Offer him the hope of seeing his loved one again and then taking it away just like Heinz and Aldas crew has done to Van.
Zauberbiest
would be neat revenge for the trick pulled with mom san
Dark Templar
Luciliano’s commentary is always funny to read. I really hope he gets some sort of epic race change soon. He deserves some off hand love.

Thanks i actually appreciate the summary’s. I voted for them to be translated back when you did the survey, always have good info

There’s a lot of good info in here, so you want to make sure no one skips it or any other character summary chapter.

Okay, got it.
