Surviving a Harsh Fantasy with Cheat Items (WN)

Fist Slave Emperor Dyson, Age 28

Dyson, originally hailing from the Rastore clan, a vassal of the Empire, was captured during the Empire’s invasive wars when he was just a child. Alongside his family, he became a slave.

As he grew older, Dyson displayed remarkable talent as a warrior. Rising from a mere fist slave, he ascended to become a star gladiator, relying solely on his fists. Standing over two meters tall, his imposing presence rivaled that of an Ogre Lord. But Dyson possessed more than just physical might. His cold intelligence, martial prowess, and battle-hardened experience set him apart.

While gladiators weren’t always required to kill their opponents, the ruthless Dyson earned the moniker “Pressure Fist (Press Out)” for relentlessly pummeling foes into unrecognizable masses with his tree-trunk-like fists. Somewhere around the hundredth victim, he seemed to reach a new level, dispatching opponents with a single blow.

Growing bored with human adversaries, Dyson turned his attention to beasts, monsters, and even the enigmatic ‘Furuki sha’. He became the ultimate gladiator, shattering them all with his fists alone.

When the Fist Slave Corps was formed, Dyson was chosen as one of its leaders. His unrivaled strength allowed him to command the entire band of rogues. Seeing the Empire’s loss of control due to foreign invasions and peasant uprisings, he initiated a coup.

Imprisoning the elderly Emperor and the Emperor’s granddaughter within the imperial capital, he declared himself the new Emperor of the New Germania.

Dyson’s appearance features short, dull brown hair, large brown eyes that seem to bulge, and deep wrinkles etched across his forehead, giving him a fearsome countenance. Despite being in his twenties, his imposing physique makes him appear older. Even after ascending to the throne, he continues to wear the same training pants and goes shirtless, adorned only with the exclusive purple mantle granted to the Germania Emperor. His excuse? “My body is too massive; there’s no attire that fits me.”

His sole armament is the “Orichalcum Gauntlet”, which he wrested from Herman during the battle at the imperial capital. Rather than taking everything, he boldly declared, “A Fist Slave Emperor needs no armor.”

His gladiator background endears him to the rebels and lower-ranked soldiers who joined the uprising. Dyson harbors a strong aversion toward Germanian nobles and knights, and his loyal followers consist mainly of non-commissioned officers, foot soldiers, irregulars, and former mercenaries. -0-

Ragtag Infantry Unit Captain Massive Gayak, Age 21

Captain of the spearhead army that dons a tightly bound headband atop his spiky hair. As the vanguard commander, he was tasked with quelling the remnants of the Empire’s resistance forces, launching a surprise attack on a peaceful village.

His motley crew of soldiers may be former bandits, but Massive, despite his youth, underwent a year of training as a junior officer. His equestrian skills were also commendable.

Just as the opportunity for promotion to a junior officer arose, fate dealt him a cruel blow—Takeru shot him down mercilessly.

Alas, luck was not on his side.

Court Musician Zither Scheidholdt, Age 24

Long honey-hued, cascading curls, possesses hazel eyes that exude both mystery and elegance. Handpicked for her role as a court musician, she was a natural-born talent, her melodies reaching the ears of the emperor himself.

Having taught poetry to the emperor and his granddaughter, Zither recognized the voice beyond the palace walls. Driven by passion, she defected to the Imperial Resistance, determined to rescue the Germanian royal lineage.

Though she appears as an endearing young maiden, her eyes harbor an intense fervor. While skilled in song and performance, her combat abilities are nonexistent. Unfortunately, in this world—much like a certain RPG—bards do not excel in battle.

After successfully rescuing the Germanian royals, Zither’s relief seems to have triggered a gradual descent into absentmindedness. Her personality leans more toward childlike innocence than her actual age, perhaps making her better suited for the role of a court jester.

Imperial Princess Elizabeth Germania Germanicus, Age 8

The direct granddaughter of the aging Emperor Conrad, stands as the daughter of his eldest son in the eyes of the old ruler. Had it not been for Freed’s tyranny, it would have been her father who ascended to the imperial throne.

Her waist-length, bluish-blond hair frames her face, and her eyes—heterochromatic, one gold and one blue—hold an otherworldly allure.

The lineage of Conrad suffered heavy losses during the struggle for the imperial succession, most falling victim to Freed’s ruthless ambition. However, Elizabeth, a mere child at the time, escaped his sword—perhaps even Freed hesitated to extinguish her life.

Naturally astute from birth, she concealed herself in the shadow of her grandfather, the aging emperor, within the tumultuous power struggles of the imperial court. Her goal: to remain unnoticed by Freed’s watchful eyes.

After Freed’s demise, Elizabeth valiantly protected her somewhat befuddled father, Conrad, amidst the chaos. Yet fate took a cruel turn—she was captured by the Fist Slave Emperor Dyson and forcibly betrothed.

Though young, Elizabeth received imperial education from factions that sought to elevate her. With unwavering resolve, she embodies the last hope for the Germania Empire’s succession.

New Germania Empire Conquering General Gemon Balzac, Age 32

A formidable figure donning a blue mohawk helmet, wears a leather armor adorned with a leather mantle. His massive frame commands attention. Interestingly, he keeps his headgear on at all times—partly because, when bare-headed, he reveals a mostly bald pate.

Once a rough-and-tumble mercenary cavalry captain, Gemon secretly harbored a longing to become a knight.

His legion, composed of former bandits, rebelled against the old Germania Empire for withholding their pay. As the peasant uprising swelled their ranks, Gemon’s cavalry became the core of the rebellion, propelling him to the rank of a renegade general.

Aligned with the Dyson faction, their bandit forces grew to five thousand strong. However, they met their end at the hands of Princess Knight Eleonora, and Gemon too submitted to her authority.

Later, a reformed Gemon rose as a legitimate general in the Germania Empire. From the base in Leutz Village, he led the peasant army into battle.

Despite his unimpressive appearance, Gemon’s competence earned him favor with Grand General Mainz. He also served as an unwitting advocate for defection.

Lanct Archbishop Sister Maria

With sepia-colored hair and eyes, dons a bishop’s regalia adorned with silver embellishments over her sister habit. Her dignified attire includes a splendid bishop’s mitre.

In the city of Lanct, she officiates the wedding of Princess Knight Eleonora and Hero Takeru.

Normally, a solemn archbishop—one of only six on the entire continent—Maria also holds a peculiar position within the Asama Church hierarchy.

She persistently sought Takeru’s acceptance to become a new hero-bonded sister, despite his repeated refusals. And by the way, she hasn’t given up yet.

Silesie Kingdom Admiral Jean Darlan, Age 48

With a mop of black hair and a portly, ruddy face akin to a bear’s, sports a barrel-like belly.

Leading two cog ships and twenty-four sailors, he commands a fleet smaller than a typical army platoon.

Though he wears the admiral’s hat, his attire—much like that of the sailors—lacks any semblance of elegance.

While reasonably experienced as a seafarer, he has little exposure to naval combat.

As a transport ship captain, he excels, but his combat prowess remains untested.

United Kingdom of Britannia King Arthur Britannian Artorius, Age 25

Commonly known as the “King” Arthur.

Boasts lustrous, long black hair and a black chin beard. Clad in a white naval uniform adorned with gold-threaded accents on a black jacket, he wears an admiral’s hat crowned with a golden emblem.

While the legendary King Arthur is renowned, Arthur is no less remarkable. His indomitable spirit united the warring factions of Britannia’s two islands and four ethnic groups, forming the United Britannian Monarchy.

Under the sole banner of the “King,” these tempestuous seafarers rally. The young charismatic leader navigates the treacherous waters with an infectious, carefree smile. His open-mindedness extends to allies—even if they happen to be demons.

Against the formidable invincible armada of Castilia, the Britannian Navy holds its ground, thanks to the presence of the unwavering “King.”

Castilia General, Viscount Cordova, Sebastian Cordova Borbon, Age 40

A tall man with a sharp kaiser beard, dons full plate armor. Commanding the state-of-the-art warship “Galleon”, he plunged into battle, only to meet a swift demise at the hands of Takeru.

Alas, luck was not on his side.

Court Mage ‘Fascination’ Celestina Siren, Age 26

Master of the unique spell ” Fascination,” stands as Castilia’s most powerful advance mage. Despite her courtly title, she rarely resides within the palace—her exceptional abilities necessitate constant deployment.

Always caressing her protective talisman, the phallic figurine Phascinum, she exudes a faint scent of cyclamen. Her long, purple hair—whether dyed or natural—frames her ample figure, accentuated by a daringly low-cut dress.

With a thigh-high slit in her skirt, she radiates sensuality—an enchanting oneesan.

Her charm spell: “Herein dwells fortune” (Hic Vivet Felicitas).

Apparently, those charmed by her find happiness.

Autonomous City of Also Mayor Douglas Zonbart, Age 33

Leader of the Autonomous City of Aslo, also serves as the chairman of the Germanian Imperial Autonomous City Union and the appointed governor of the entire Sway Peninsula.

After the collapse of the imperial government, he personally set sail to procure food and aid the impoverished citizens suffering from famine. Unfortunately, his efforts did not yield the desired results.

By chance, he sought help from the hero of Silesie, and in return, Aslo became a protected territory of the Silesie Kingdom.

Though a nervous and somber politician with deep furrows on his forehead, Douglas is a principled individual who prioritizes the well-being of the citizens. Despite not being particularly popular among the locals, his strong sense of responsibility drives him to govern Aslo with unwavering dedication.

Dot Barony Civil Servant Zul Daws, Age 46

A local bureaucrat in the Dot Barony, has held this position since the time of Baron Gale. During the absence of a lord, he acts as the steward, managing the territory.

Being familiar with the region, he skillfully handles internal affairs. Although he doesn’t display much loyalty to the previous lord, Knight Commander Gale, or the current lord, Third Corps Commander Zawa Haruto, he remains committed to the people of Dot.

The small domain centered around Dot’s castle, where lords change frequently, places him in a politically delicate position. Zul doesn’t openly rebel, but he seems to believe that there’s always a replacement for a lord.

Mercenary Captain Zephyranzas Silva, Age 28

Hailing from the Kingdom of Roland, commands the Zephyranzas Mercenary Corps, a force of two thousand. With his distinctive long black hair and a sallet helm, he exudes a refreshing handsomeness.

Under his cloak, he wears a chain hauberk, and his weapon of choice is the estoc.

Despite his commoner origins, he carries an air of refinement, leading some to speculate that he might be a noble’s illegitimate child.

Employed by Pipin, he has no intention of dying alongside him. However, Zephyranzas’s mercenary code of honor ensures that he fulfills his duties even if his employer meets an untimely end.

Even after the death of Marquis Pipin, he dutifully continues to defend the territory.

Baron Bonjour Isoir Blanc, Age 12

Bears the blood of the Founding King Renz, and stands as the last survivor of House Blanc.

Thrust into the role of the rebel leader among local nobles, this young lad wields no real power. He’s merely a decorative figure, quietly occupying the throne.

One wonders if even the illustrious Brynie had such endearing childhood moments.

Countess Josephine Agene Aquitaine, Age 28

Possesses an intoxicating beauty—a body with artistically exquisite lines. Her youthful, taut skin radiates freshness. Truly, she is a woman who exudes allure. Cunning and shrewd, she’s known as the “Fox Woman” or, more ominously, the “Venomous Temptress.”

But there’s a reason she’s scorned as the Fox Woman: her lineage is tainted with the blood of fox beastkin, complete with fox ears and a small tail. In the esteemed circles of Silesie’s aristocracy, her half-beast heritage is a considerable disadvantage.

As the mistress of High End—the southern region of Silesie, encompassing half the land—Josephine orchestrated the poisoning of the then-wife of Count High End. She ascended to the position of the new lady of the house.

Subsequently, she ensnared the stubbornly aristocratic Marquis Pipin, using her seductive wiles. A true femme fatale, worthy of the title “Fox Woman.”

Her methods of seduction are transparent, yet men continue to fall for her charms.

Aquitaine Patriarch, Count High End Agene, Age 33

Has always been frail. Lately, he can barely rise from his sickbed. Perhaps Josephine has slipped poison into his cup.

The true power of House Aquitaine rests in Josephine’s hands, rendering him a mere figurehead.

Betrayed by his unfaithful wife and embroiled in wars he didn’t initiate, his lands now face peril.

While his lack of discernment in women led to his own downfall, he remains more a victim than anything else.

Marqui Pipin’s 3^rd son, Heir to House Burgund, Boltaigne Nant Burgund, Age 18

Emerges as the heir after the successive deaths of the eldest and second sons alongside Marquis Pipin. He is set to inherit the Nant Marquisate.

Upon hearing news of his father and brothers’ demise, he assumed the family mantle. However, his ill-fated presence alongside Josephine in Isoir City led to a rather compromising situation—his lower half firmly under her control.

For this young lad, the alluring charms of the slightly older vixen were irresistible.

As the head of House Burgund, thrust unexpectedly into leadership, he faces a crisis in his territory. Whether this twist of fate is fortunate or unfortunate remains uncertain.

Despite being somewhat naive for a son of the astute Marquis Pipin, some find his vulnerability endearing. Curiously, he seems to enjoy the support of subordinates like Magistrate Geoffrey, suggesting a modicum of popularity.

Castilia King, Hikikomori Study King Ferdinand Castilia Asturias, Age 30

Wears a silver-chained monocle over his right eye. His quiet demeanor and red hair, neatly combed back, give him the appearance of a diligent bureaucrat.

At first glance, he seems the epitome of a serious official. His tall, slender frame rarely betrays emotion, except when engrossed in reading documents—then, his red eyes gleam with life.

Despite his pronounced misanthropy, he is a masterful strategist and a solitary genius. From his study, he wields vast naval power, steering the maritime superpower of Castilia.

-0-

Nant City Magistrate Geoffrey Armas, Age 60

Sports white hair and a luxuriant white beard. Having faithfully served House Burgund for years, he now stands as the last bastion for young Boltaigne.

Risking his life, Geoffrey defended Nant City for the sake of the inexperienced heir. His plea reached the heavens, and with the aid of Castilian reinforcements, they initially repelled the Silesien forces.

Subsequently, their joint operation with the Zephyranzas Mercenary Corps aimed to reclaim Otan in the Nant Marquisate, but alas, it ended in failure.

-0-

Burgund House Chief Steward Castro, Age 45

Stands at the forefront of the household staff. While they were mere attendants, not combatants, when enemies threatened Nant City, Castro and old Geoffrey armed themselves to defend the city in their master’s absence.

Although betrayed by rural peasants, House Burgund found support among the urban citizens. Their unwavering resolve epitomized their commitment.

Dragon Maid Are Rango Rand, Age 16

Dragon maiden and martial artist. Hails from the northwest of the Afri Continent. She is the daughter of the queen of Lango Island, which lies off the coast of the vast desert.

Her striking features include long blue hair and two black-brown dragon horns protruding from her head. Her limbs bear thick, sharp claws and blue scales. Apart from her dragon-like blue wings and a long tail, she resembles a tall human woman.

In contrast, her skin is translucently pale, and her ample figure is modestly clad in white fabric wrapped around her chest and waist. Having lived in isolation on the island, she remains blissfully unaware of the sexiness of her attire.

Are practices the traditional martial art of Dragon Fist, utilizing her sharp claws and long, sturdy tail for attacks. Her bloodline traces back to the ancient beings—the furuki mono—granting her formidable power when she heightens her life force.

Dragon maidens, born of the mixed blood of the ancient dragon god and a human crafted by Asama, inexplicably gives birth only to female offspring. When they reach marriageable age, they will venture beyond the island to find a suitable husband.

Rango Island, ruled by the dragon queen, Lady of Rango, maintains a friendly relationship with the Castilian Kingdom, providing a harbor in exchange for goods. Seeking knowledge, Are becomes a guest at the Castilian royal palace. Initially hesitant to fight the Silesie’s hero, she eventually joins the battle, driven by her own convictions.

Castilia Advance Mage General Revenant Arima, Age 30

Wears a silver monocle that drapes over his long silver bangs. Clad in a dull-gleaming golden armor, he dons a brown mantle atop it.

At first glance, he appears a genteel young man, yet his cruel and devilish countenance reveals another side. Originally a deviant soul, he awakened to masochistic tendencies when a magical rifle pierced his body, exposing him to mortal danger for the first time.

He favors unscrupulous tactics and unconventional strategies. Rather than choosing means, he seems to possess an incomprehensible aesthetic unique to him.

Even the sting of bitter defeat transforms into pleasure for this remarkably resilient individual.

In many ways, he defies common sense—a strategist with inscrutable thought processes.

Captains of the New Germanian Imperial Army’s Thousand-Man Unit, the Devon Trio

Sport mohawk helmets that exude a general-like aura. Dismissing them as mere stock characters would be a grave mistake—they are genuinely formidable.

Former mercenaries, they excel in coordinated attacks using chain sickles to immobilize foes. Against ordinary knights, they prove more than capable of victory.

Unfortunately, their encounter with Louise—who transformed into a slaughtering goddess—spelled their misfortune.

Indeed, luck was not on their side.
