Mainly new characters from the protagonist group and the Heizen arc.
■Wof:
13 years old. Male. Universal Human.
The protagonist of the story. Blue hair and silver eyes. Has an androgynous face, though he's unaware of it.
You'd expect him to be of average build and height for his age, but he's a little on the short side.
Personality is kind, for better or worse. Occasionally says or does things beyond his years.
He knows the common sense of this world, so he can be bluntly merciless when there's no other way around it.
For some reason, ever since he helped Torquetam, he keeps breaking knives.
He's broken so many that the Knife Goddess has started showing up.
On top of that, it's been discovered that a curse prevents him from wielding swords.
He's very bothered by all of this. He's also the apprentice of that witch.
Through recent events, he's gotten to know many women, and they've all taken a liking to him.
It turns out 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 so on. He also apparently grew into a two-meter-tall giant.
Recently, the "Night King" has become the sole accepted nickname.

[Banish]: A transparent sphere that erases whatever it touches.

● Wof's Equipment:
"Azure Saint's Gauntlet": A metal gauntlet handcrafted by a witch, embedded with large blue magic gems.
It transforms during Generous. The Silent Saint's Gauntlet has been upgraded.
Self-repair and other functions remain unchanged; defense is ten times greater.
It can also counter nearly all attacks.
Countering in succession causes performance degradation and triggers a cooldown.
When the magic gem is flashing, the gauntlet is in degraded mode.
When the magic gem turns red, it enters cooldown. During cooldown, it cannot counter.
"Wood Flash: A spear with a wooden shaft. It has an arrow-shaped tip on one side."
● Wof's Techniques:
"
Blue Sky Breakthrough Style
" — A spear technique. Its philosophy is "a single thrust through a vast blue sky," centered on thrusting attacks.
"One Slash Demon Break": A fire-attribute One Slash Demon Break. Delivers a powerful, bold slash.
"One Step": Basic footwork from the "Sword's Sword."
Lets you quickly close into your opponent's range. Originally based on a dog's lunging pounce.
● Knives:
"Knife of the Different Sea" — Black leather sheath with an elliptical guard. The sheath has marine life attached. When drawn and focused upon, it transforms into octopus-like bizarre tentacles that seize the opponent. Currently four of them. They act independently and possess their own will. Limited black spatial teleportation is also possible.
"A Knife a Villain Would Carry: At first glance, a pitch-black elliptical mass. The red blade is slightly serrated."
"Agaro's Knife Modified 3: A knife whose blade emits a liquid-crystal-like luster. Through light reflection, it gleams both red and green."
"Elixir Knife with Skull Guard: Looks cool, like a pirate's knife"

"Tassan Emblem Card": By praying and wishing to Tassan, you can use the power of the Tassan Marquis family once.
"Elixir Holy Egg": Produces infinite elixirs. One of the three eggs.
"Phoenix Revival Egg": Revives the dead. However, if the soul isn't nearby, which soul enters is random. One of the three eggs.

"Plain Bracelet": A Legacy in the form of a plain ring and a gemstone bracelet. Think of a color and it changes. Additionally, the response to the wearer varies depending on favorability. The minimum is just "Thank you." The maximum is a kiss filled with affection.
"Plain Ring": An upgraded version of the bracelet Legacy. Drip water on it and it increases by one per hour.
"Silver Pocket Watch": An ultra-ancient pocket watch received from Munieka. Multi-functional, with a minute repeater included, but it'll probably never be used.
Memories of a Past Life:
Wof's past-life memories aren't from just a single past life — they overlap, mixed together from multiple people.
So there's no single past-life name or anything like that. Memories and recollections are contained separately within his soul.
Among them is his true past life — the origin of his reincarnation.
And yet, every last one of them doesn't know how to make mayonnaise.
Even though there should be memories of a cook in there somewhere.
It was discovered that memories from various other worlds are also included.
One remark: Wof alone takes up 2,600 characters. Seriously.
■Mineha:
Age 10. Female. Fairial. Grade III delver.
Long orange hair. Part of it is braided.
Red clothes and armor. The skirt flutters softly, like flower petals.
She carries a type of spear at her waist. The spear is an OOPArt.
First-person pronoun: atashi.
She has a spirited personality. According to Rel, her aggression is intense.
Her race is all-female. Having grown up in a fairial village, she's ill at ease around men.
In truth, she's an honest and kind girl. She can cook, too. Recently, she's been making breakfast.
She respects Emmy — Axe's mother and her lifesaver — as her master.
Her mother is a Grade I delver known as the "Fairy Empress." Surpassing the two of them is her goal.
When she grows up, she'll become such an enchantingly beautiful woman that no one would ever guess she's ten.
She's sharp-tongued but caring. Narcissus calls her "Mom."
As a secret hobby, she likes to sprawl naked on Wof's bed after getting out of the bath.
● Relics:
[Fairy Incarnation]: A fairial-exclusive relic. She can take on a humanoid size. Returning to her original form consumes a massive amount of calories.
[Spiral]: She can release the flow of power as a vortex.
[Remote Control]: A relic wielded in conjunction with the Demon Star Manifest Spear. She can manipulate triangular stars.
● OOPArts:
[Demon Star Manifest Spear]: A spear. It has an overall blue color with white spiral-pattern markings. The white pattern portions can separate into nine triangular stars. Furthermore, it amplifies the power and effects of [Spiral] and [Remote Control].
[Spiral Dawn]: A spear. It's pitch black with a bizarre, angular shape. It has a socket for inserting a spear, and is designed exclusively for use with the relic [Spiral]. It was a keepsake from Mineha's late father, Seima, and was left incomplete. She excavated it from a suspicious shopkeeper's gacha-like junk heap. She worked with a witch to complete it, but fine-tuning it remains difficult. Inside, there's a cockpit, and when in her fairial form, she can board it and use it as a vehicle. It also comes with a dedicated suit for piloting.
It still harbors tremendous latent power.
How she addresses Wof: Wof.
One word: Seems like she'd fit on Riv's side. Mama.

How Wof addresses her: Wof-kun.
In a word: She looks just like a junior coworker from the coffee shop where Wof worked part-time during university in his past life.

Tanuki folk. Female.
Long golden hair loosely curled and left flowing, with round animal ears.
Sharp, piercing blue eyes that could cut. Well-defined features with a refined, striking face.

Tends to add "no" to the end of her sentences.
Has a competitive personality and is straightforward in both good and bad ways.

Possesses a Relic but almost never has occasion to use it.
Places her complete trust in Giiza, the chief retainer who serves as her bodyguard.
She is particularly fond of the tea that Giiza brews.
●Relic:
Unknown.
One word: Nothing happened between her and Wof's uncle or anything like that.
■Giiza:
Daughter of the Sword Goddess. Unknown. Female.
Lustrous silver-white hair. Slender, silvery eyes.
Eyes sharp enough to cut. Prefers butler-style clothing.
First-person pronoun: jibun.
●Personality:
Loyal to a fault.
Though she is the Sword Goddess's daughter, she has no qualms about serving others.
Perhaps for that reason, she keeps her distance from her sisters who aspire to divinity.
After drifting from place to place, she finally found her home in the Seilan family.
She has only served for six years, but has pledged lifelong loyalty to the Seilan household.
She is the type who looks slimmer in clothes, and her chest is quite large.
●Relic:
[Exploit Weakness]: Sees through an opponent's weak point.
Even if the opponent is stronger than herself, she can identify their weakness.
An upgraded version of the Relic [Weakness Insight].
One word: Probably. The silent-kill type. And I won't say what else, but she's vulnerable from behind.

Fourth daughter of House Lord Denton.
Rank III delver. Leader of Torquetam.

[Battle Cry]: Lets out a war cry. Draws the aggro of every enemy within earshot.
OOPArt:
[Shield of Achillein]: A large round shield.
Visually stunning — gold trim, silver accents, an air of luxury — but heavy and sturdy.
Enhances the effect of [Fortify] while further reducing its weight.
Only has one Relic, but her raw physical strength comes from birth plus training. Gorilla-tier.
Personality: the arrogance of a noble lady, stubbornness, vanity, and a total pain in the neck.
That's why she ends up sounding harsh.
She's bad with the opposite sex. But she hides it behind a mask of composure, so she comes across as utterly unappealing to guys.
She's good at cooking, and the other two never do anything around the house, so she ends up doing all the chores too.
She doesn't hate children either, making her a prime candidate for being a great wife.
While she was struggling with her role as leader in Torquetam,
she learned about the "Tank" role through Wof's advice.
That was the ideal fighting style for her — and the ideal way to live.
She decided to become the Tank.
How she addresses Wof: Wof-san.
One line: I didn't become a bitch.
■ Navell:
16 years old. Black hair, black eyes. Beastkin — wolf race. Male.
Fourth-rank delver. Member and leader of the Kerberostern.
● Personality:
Unusually cautious and serious for someone his age.
That's why he's the leader.
He idolizes first-rank delvers like heroes. Refers to himself as "boku."
He strains to somehow meet Wof's outrageous requests.
He's the type who's honest and kind to a fault, always getting the short end of the stick. But someday, it'll surely pay off.

Author's comment: He talks more than Nabell, so people often mistake him for the leader.

● Personality:
A middle-aged guy who got dragged around by a Relic he stumbled into by accident.
The root cause and mastermind behind nearly everything in Chapter 4.
Even if the Relic was to blame, he managed to rack up an impressive amount of hatred.
Pitiable, sure — but since his base personality already leaned toward the worse end, he kind of had it coming.
[Bizarre Outlandish]Causes bizarre and outlandish conditions in the vicinity of the holder.
These conditions spread shallow but wide.
[Mystifying Wonder]Creates mystifying conditions in the vicinity of the holder.
These conditions spread deep but narrow.
