Vol 01 Chapter 38: Character Introduction & Glossary & Geography ※ End of Volume 1 and Interlude 1

 

AN: The characters’ ages are calculated from birth, with everyone considered a year older at the start of the new year.1

Character Introduction

Almus Aris, 17 years old.

The protagonist of this story, who acquired a surname through his marriage to Tetra. He is worried about a recurring migraine. Has the [Blessing of The Emperor] that increases his physical abilities in proportion to the number of people who recognize him as a leader (with limits). The physical and magical abilities of those who swear absolute loyalty to him also increase.

 

Wife

Tetra Aris, 15 years old.

First heroine. Self-proclaimed world’s first mage. Although Tetra was the first to create the formulas used in magecraft, the spells to create flames or wind are nothing new. Her hair is blue.

 

Subordinates

Ron, 16 years old.

A fan of Almus. He is pretty skilled with a sword. He shows leadership qualities but has some foolish tendencies which occasionally go in strange directions.

Roswald, 16 years old.

Spear user. Excluding Almus, he’s currently the strongest among Almus’s subordinates. While he’s usually foolish, he occasionally shows intelligence.

Gram, 15 years old.

His name doesn’t have any relation to the unit of weight measurement, it’s just a coincidence. He’s an archer who can perform acrobatics like shooting a longbow while riding a horse. He has a calm and composed personality.

Soyon, 16 years old.

Very good kid. Although normally intelligent, sometimes, probably influenced by Ron, her brain goes on vacation. She loves animals and is skilled in possession. She has feelings for Ron and seems to be considering marriage.

Lulu, 15 years old.

Has a slightly bad personality. It’s unclear whether this is the cause, but she’s skilled in curses. She gets along well with Gram.

Lia, 15 years old.

A Germanis slave. She was introduced to teach the kids how to ride and care for the horses. She has been recently freed from slavery. She has recently begun learning the Adernian language. A little slow in romance-related matters, but she seems to have begun to notice Roswald’s affection. She doesn’t seem entirely opposed to it.

Iarl, mid-twenties.

The new addition to Almus’ fan club. He seems like the type who would look good in glasses. He’s working hard to study the Kirisian language and arithmetic.

Boros, in his forties.

Played a crucial role in undermining King Ferme from within. He can do anything, but he’s not particularly good at anything. Jack of all trades, master of none. Easily moved to tears. He recognizes Almus as his master, but his loyalty is dedicated to Tetra.

 

Friendly People

Julia, 17 years old.

Second heroine. Daughter of King Rosais. Her character was established before Tetra’s, but lately, she has lost all protagonism. She has quite a large chest and buttocks. Her hair is lavender-colored. She seems to have multiple blessings.

[Blessing of Insight] Apparently, she can understand the blessings of others. Since she doesn’t know their names, Julia needs to name them herself.

[Blessing of Clairvoyance] She can see very far as if her eyes were telescopes. However, if there are obstacles in the way, she obviously can’t see beyond them. Therefore, it should be impossible to see Almus’s figure deep in the forest with just this blessing alone but…

King Rosais, late thirties.

Cunning fox with a foot on the other side. His hair follicles are in the same state as his health, but it seems his life will end first. His current goal is to go to the afterlife after seeing Julia happily married.

Bartolo, early thirties.

Alcoholic middle-aged man. Very capable alcoholic middle-aged man.

Ainz, early thirties.

Kirisian merchant. He has a stubborn older brother. Loves making money. Recently, he has high expectations for Almus.

 

Hostile

King Ferme (Deceased), late thirties.

His name was Roberto. As an antagonist, he had a relatively happy death.

 

Neutral (Unclear if enemy or ally)

Ismene, 22 years old.

Self-proclaimed genius architect. Female. Came to the Adernian Peninsula in search of work.

Akira, 21 years old.

Aspiring novelist. Traveler. He has already seen the farthest sea and fulfilled his parents’ long-cherished wish. Now he travels with Ismene while writing.

Alexios, 23 years old.

You can tell he is handsome from his name. And he is indeed handsome. He also wears an eyepatch and has heterochromia. He and Melia are in the middle of their honeymoon.

Melia, 22 years old.

She was rumored to love animals too much. What she loved too much was Alexios. She and Alexios are in the middle of their honeymoon.

Nikolaos, 38 years old.

Advocates for the geocentric model. Although he seems open-minded… he has a rather stubborn mindset as he never considers himself to be wrong even in the slightest.

Aisha, 22 years old.

Has the same name as someone from somewhere, but it’s not because the author found it troublesome to come up with a name. Currently the strongest human in the world. She has quite a good relationship with Xerxes. Seems to be submissive in bed. Has several blessings.

[Blessing of the Hunter] When hunting, her physical abilities and body durability increase. By the way, “hunting” is broadly defined, so hunting humans also falls within the scope of this blessing.

[Blessing of the War God] Becomes incredibly strong in combat.

[Blessing of the Crazed Warrior] Activates when the user goes into a killing frenzy, causing explosive increases in physical abilities. However, cognitive abilities decrease.

Xerxes III, 47 years old.

Treated by society as an invader, and a greedy emperor, but that’s not the case at all. Rather, he thinks he’d like to pass on the position to someone else if there was anyone capable other than him. He’s very active in bed and has many wives. By the way, Aisha is not his wife but his mistress.

 

Non-Human

Griffon, over three thousand years old.

The Great Griffon-sama. Lives secluded in the forest. It seems he was quite mischievous in his youth.

 

Glossary

Magic

It encompasses all kinds of mysterious phenomena, more known for curses and barriers.

Magecraft

Branch of magic that tries to reproduce natural phenomena by the use of arithmetic formulas.

Blessing

Mysterious phenomena that are not magic. Those with blessings are rare, and those blessings are often not useful (for example, the [Blessing of Clairvoyance] in a blind person).

Lost Ones

People from another world. All of them possess blessings. The protagonist is also considered a Lost One to some extent. According to Griffon, the cause of the transfer is “those brats”.
