I'll only be introducing Wof and the new Season 5 characters.
■Wof:
13 years old. Male. Common Human.
Appearance:
The main character of the series. Blue hair and silver eyes. Has an androgynous face, though he's not aware of it himself.
You'd think he'd be of average build for his age, but he's actually a bit on the short side.
A kind person, for better or worse. Sometimes says things that sound like an adult.
He knows the common sense of this world and can be ruthlessly blunt when there's no helping it.
For some reason, he's been breaking knives a lot ever since he helped out the Torquetam.
He broke so many that the Knife Goddess started showing up.
On top of that, it was discovered that he's cursed and can't hold a sword.
He's very bothered by all of that. He's also that witch's apprentice.
Through his recent activities, he's met a lot of women, and they've taken a liking to him.
It was discovered that he likes dungeon-themed games.
Rumored to be a womanizer. Considered a ladies' man. Called the "Night Conquest King," "Night King," "Night Spear King,"
"King of the Red Room," and what have you. He also became a two-meter-tall giant.
Recently, it's all been consolidated into just "Night King."
For some reason, he feels an unusual anger toward the Anomalocaris.
●Wof's Relics:
[Danger Discernment]: Discerns danger. White indicates safe points.
Red indicates dangerous points. Black indicates points where death is a risk.
[Fortune's Ring]: Represents everything of true value that is hidden.
Green light is rare. Yellow is super rare.
Blue is the exceedingly rare super ultra rare.
Purple is the unbelievable ultimate rare.
Furthermore, it guides toward items of greater value to the owner.
It can also freely select what to display.
It can perform detailed searches.
[Banish]: A transparent sphere that erases whatever it touches.
It can be resized from fingertip-sized to about volleyball-sized.
Only one exists, and it cannot be separated from Wof's hand. It can selectively choose what to erase. It has now become usable for visual inspection by returning to its initial state.
It was discovered that its true essence is not a sphere but a "ring." This enabled the creation of ring-shaped [Banish Chakram].
Moreover, by combining it with [Vibration], it can generate the blue-purple light of [Deep Banish]. However, its power is immense.
By layering rings, it can also be formed into a shield — the [Banish Shield].
[Generous]: A pseudo-deification Relic. Hair and eyes turn purple.
Physical abilities and the like are drastically boosted, and equipment also transforms.
Usage time: 5 minutes. Cooldown: 1 day.
[Phantasmagoria]: An authority Relic of [Generous] — deploys and controls countless Banish. Recently, it has been deploying countless [Banish Chakram].
[
[Cosmic
Arm]
An authority Relic of [Generous]. Wraps the cosmos around itself to punch through attacks. Can also return an attack by punching it back at the opponent. However, only within arm's reach.
[Field Quake]: An authority Relic of [Generous]. Shakes everything within a certain range.
[Rave Generous]: The form taken when using [Rave Form]—an evolution of [Rave Move]—during Generous.
Can become one's true form, the one seen even in dreams. A mark appears on the forehead.
All Relics gain lore, and both power and range increase dramatically.
Action limit: 1 minute. Cooldown: 7 days. A fragment of a true Manifest God.
[Deep Space Generous]: A mysterious form of Generous. Purple hair extends below the waist, with galaxies and nebulae—essentially the cosmos—reflected in the purple darkness within. The eyes glow a deep, intense purple. Some kind of mark floats on the forehead. However, it is not a Manifest God.
[Blue Saint]: The purple eyes take on a blue glow. When focused, Slow Motion can be used once for up to 60 seconds. The mind becomes still and calm. The target pointer and light point can be toggled on and off at will. Occasionally, the voices of others' hearts can be heard.
Usage time: 6 minutes. Cooldown: 4 minutes.
[Rave Move]: Up to 3 actions achievable with current physical capabilities can all be performed with no recoil. Cooldown: 6 minutes.
[Knife Magic]: Upon use, 3 magic knives appear. Magic can be performed using these magic knives. When the knives run out, the cooldown begins.
Cooldown: 6 minutes.
Available magic: Misdirection. Hide and Seek. Changing.
[Vibration]: Emits vibrations. Can be wielded. Combined with [Banish], it enables the creation of [Deep Banish].
[Deep Banish]: A combination technique of [Banish] and [Vibration].
Possesses tremendous destructive power.
●Wof's Equipment:
[Gauntlets of the Blue Saint]: Metal gauntlets custom-made by a witch, fitted with large blue magic crystals.
When Generous is activated, it transforms. The Quiet Saint's gauntlets have been upgraded.
The self-repair function and everything else remain unchanged from before, but defense power is ten times greater. It can also counter virtually any attack.
Countering consecutively causes performance degradation, triggering a cooldown period.
When the Magic Treasure Crystal is flashing, performance is degraded. When it turns red, that means cooldown. During cooldown, it cannot counter.
The souls of a mysterious man and woman are sealed inside.
●Wof's Techniques:
'
Blue Sky Breakthrough Style
'— A spear art. Its philosophy is "pierce the wide-open blue sky at a single point," and it centers on thrusting attacks.
'One Cut Demon Slayer': A fire-attribute One Cut Demon Slayer. Delivers a powerful, sweeping single strike.
'One Step': The fundamental footwork of "the Sword's Sword."
Swiftly closing in on the opponent's range. Originally, it was a dog's lunge.
●Knives:
'Different Sea Knife': A black leather sheath with an oval guard. The sheath is adorned with sea creatures. When drawn and focused upon, it transforms into octopus-like eerie tentacles that ensnare the target. Currently four of them. They act of their own will and possess consciousness. Limited black-space teleportation is also possible.
'Ballistic 6': A pure white, single-formed unit overall. The tip is not pointed but indented in a semicircle. There is no blade — just a pure white plate. Six pale blue orbs are embedded in the center. Pale blue blades launch from the indented section. When one fires, the corresponding orb loses its color.
After all rounds are fired, the light returns to the six orbs following a sixty-second cooldown.
'Agaro's Knife Modified 3': A knife whose blade shines with an LCD-like luster. Through the reflection of light, it glimmers red and green as well.
'Elixir Knife with a Skull Guard': It looks cool — like something a pirate would wield.
'Ryuro's Knife': Stone handle with a bronze sheath. The blade is iron, but half of it appears carved away in two semicircles, and the tip is sharp.
'Dahlia': A sooty red, single-edged blade with a wavy design. The handle is round and wooden. Overall, it has a rough, unrefined feel.
'Chemnotar': A black oval with a hole in the pommel. It looks like it was forged as a single piece. The pitch-black blade is impossibly thin.
'Thick-bladed knife, cleaver-like': Smooth wooden handle. Rough-hewn, practical, no frills — that's what I like about it.
'Snake Knife': A wavy double-edged blade with a pommel shaped like a snake's head. Coated in paralytic venom. An OOPArt. One of the Snake series.
● Items:
'Tasan Emblem Card': By praying and wishing to Tasan, you can invoke the power of the Tasan Marquis household once. When would I ever use this?
'Holy Egg of Elixirs': Produces infinite elixirs. One of the three eggs.
'Phoenix Revival Egg': Resurrects the dead. However, the soul that enters is random unless there's one nearby. One of the three eggs. Currently in Lord Yomid's possession.
'Crescent Vessel': An all-purpose water bottle capable of purification, temperature control, mixing, and more. One of the Moon Water series, alongside the Half Moon Vessel, Full Moon Vessel, and New Moon Vessel.
'Plain Bracelet': A legendary — a plain band and a gemstone bracelet. Concentrate, and the color changes. The gratitude response it gives varies depending on the wearer's favorability. At minimum, just "thank you." At maximum, a kiss filled with affection.
'Plain Ring': An upgraded version of the bracelet, legendary grade. Currently used as a communication terminal.
'Silver Pocket Watch': An ultra-ancient pocket watch given to me by Munieka. Multi-functional, with a minute repeater and all, but it'll probably never get used.
Past life memories:
Wof's past life memories aren't from a single past life — they're a blend of multiple people overlapping.
So there's no past life name or anything like that. Memories and recollections are stored in fragments, bundled separately inside the soul.
Among them is the true past life — the original source of reincarnation.
And yet not a single one of them knows how to make mayonnaise.
Even though there should be a cook's memories in there somewhere.
It was discovered that memories from all sorts of other worlds are mixed in, too.
There were even memories of some rather salacious extramarital brood parasitism.
