Chapter 92: character summaries

Ben Heph

Our titular chaotic craftsman, or at least he’s beginning to grow into the role. While his beginnings in the world were a rocky start, being unneeded and forgotten about by the nations that took in his classmates, he’s managed to start making a home for himself and work he enjoys. Through the constant training of his skills and a little luck, some of his abilities have increased at a startling rate, but because he compares himself to his classmates who all managed to arrive in the world with their abilities in an already awakened state he doesn’t view his own progress as very impressive.

While thinking about his life on earth and his family is still painful for him, he’s trying to move past it the best he can, having made friends in the world to spend his time with.

Though he’s only been on the world for about a year, it ended up being far more hectic than he ever would have hoped for, almost dying on multiple occasions, and having to both fight to save his new town as well as take the trial of a god in short order. If he were to give any thought to how crazy his time had been so far, he would likely tell himself that his classmates probably had it worse, having to train to protect the world from a coming threat and all, but how accurate is that actually?

Ceselee

Ceselee is the current head of the stonewall adventurers guild, as well as the other three guilds it will act as in a limited capacity.

She harbored guilt about how the situation with Roan worked out, knowing it was her own guild’s failings that let things get out of hand, and that it was ultimately Thera that paid the price for it.

She’s long acquainted with Falk, ever since he made his shop in stonewall, as he would occasionally take quests for monsters he wanted the materials from. She also occasionally purchases from his shop

Falk

An 8 foot tall snow-white yeti with a top knot. The only skills Ben is currently aware he has are blacksmithing, alchemy, enchanting, and earth magic, though there are undoubtedly more, he just keeps them close to the chest.

While he had no interest initially in taking a student, he was forced into it by misjudging Ben and giving a task that was within the realm he could accomplish.

Despite his misgivings, he’s grown to find training Ben to be an interesting experience, getting to see how the boy solves problems and watching him develop being more satisfying than he initially expected

Father Yan

The head priest of the communal church Ben was summoned to with an appearance best described as a lizard man cyclops

A kind spirited older man, when he learns that Ben is left behind doesn’t hesitate to do his best to help him, though he’s more than willing to be strict on the priests that work under him to keep them in line

Fredrick

A potted tree about three feet tall and with lovely purple leaves. It will produce berries every few months and Ben uses it to train his connect skill.

Since this act has given him access to the tree tamer job, he’s fairly sure he managed to tame it, though he doesn’t understand what that means since it’s a plant

John

A named classmate of Ben, being mentioned all the way back in chapter one and having no impact on the story since. Sorry John

Lehie

The priest put in charge of Ben when he’s first summoned and one of the oldest members of the communal church she’s part of, though she doesn’t look it.

While at first, she finds Ben’s constant skepticism annoying, she’s distraught when nobody takes him in and dedicates herself wholeheartedly to teaching him everything she can to help him make his home in the world.

Though well educated and having years of experience behind her, she can occasionally display traits that make her seem much younger than she is. Combine that with her youthful looks and it can occasionally causes problems for the church

Myriad

The titular cube that Ben worships. A god of a long dead race, Myriads people decided to destroy their world when they were invaded, rather than let it fall into enemy hands. Myriad has the unique characteristic among the gods of absorbing the souls of his believers and incorporating them into himself.

Taking advantage of the fact that Ben was forgotten to get him as his first believer in centuries, he does his best to support his apostle as a god, even if he isn’t always happy with the choices Ben makes. Still, since his number of believers has increased to over a dozen in a short amount of time thanks to Ben’s work and discoveries, he won’t complain too much.

Not much is known currently about his original race, other than that members could mentally connect to each other by linking sub-brains in their tentacles, but Ben is likely to learn more as he grows closer to his god.

Onk

A faceless hominid type working as a guild employee in Stonewall, they’re well acquainted with all of the adventurers in town and have a good reputation.

They feel guilty about the situation Thera found herself in due to guild negligence, and as a result always tries to give her the best service they can while telling off anyone she hears spreading rumors

Sachel

A member of Skoes party, she fills the role of a healer with her life magic, but at the same time also works on her water and earth magic in the hope that one day she’ll be able to awaken her skills to plant magic.

With that goal in mind, she converts to Myriad shortly after talking to Ben about it to try and get the connect skill, and hopefully get the chance to get the tree tamer job to improve her odds.

She is a mixed breed of dryad descent.

Steph

Having become friends with Ben during some art classes back on earth, she finds herself worrying about how he’s managing alone while she still struggles to adapt to the situation herself.

Her training is progressing smoothly, partly in thanks to forcing an agreement between two nations when they were selecting to let her train together with her friend so she wouldn’t need to face an entirely new world alone.

Sonya

Sonya is a succubus. Aunt to Thera, sister to Pelenia and friend of Falk’s, though she’d like to be more one day.

She trained hard for years, not just to raise her life magic to make her a competent healer, but also getting her charm to level 6 so she would be able to properly suppress it

She acts as one of the healers in Stonewall and is well respected in the community for her dedication to her work.

Skoe

A four-armed warrior whose fighting style involves using both a pair of swords and shields, he harbors a strong protectiveness towards other adventurers. Though he knows the line of work carries risks, he doesn’t want anyone he’s acquainted with to die needlessly.

It’s this attitude that led him try to get Thera to give up adventuring, as well as protect Ben from her.

Ralia

A naga woman who is in a party with Skoe and Sachel. Not much else is known about her at the present, though that will change as the story progresses

Roan

A hominid type with insect-like characteristics, he’s best described as a tamer and an asshole.

After constantly ignoring Theras warnings and getting himself exposed to her passive magic, it eventually leaves him completely insane to the point he thought it would be a good idea to try to stop an attack on the town he very openly caused to try and win her heart.

Thera Oress

A mixed breed of both succubi and earth spirit heritage, Thera is the first of her kind and suffers the consequences of learning exactly what that fact means.

While her spirit heritage gives her so much mana she can’t control the earth magic she’s born with in a meaningful way, the charm magic from her succubi heritage has the opposite problem, running out of control to the point that an average person to come in contact with her risks losing their mind should exposure be long enough.

As a result she’s used to avoiding people, doing her best to not get too close to anyone but her family until she meets Ben, and after a bit over a month of working together learns he has the qualities to completely ignore her passive magic.

Because of this, and his genuine desire for friendship, she’s forced to learn how to interact with someone as a friend for the first time, without needing to worry about keeping a safe distance

Though Roan’s obsession with her proved to be a danger to the town she’d started to make her home, she was able to overcome him with Ben’s help and grow stronger for it.

Shortly after, she returns to her homeland with Ben so her mother, queen of the succubi, can provide him with assistance for something that could help all their race, as well as her in particular, a way to block passive magics.

Through a series of events, she’s forced to take the trial of her god and comes out victorious.

Later during a celebration of that event, her mother manipulates things, putting her in a situation where she has to engage her new friend and filling her with complicated emotions as a result.

Will

Ben’s classmate and friend. Coming to this world with skills like unarmed master, enhanced strength, and tough skin, he’s appeared with the traits to be an impressive fighter.

He’s one of the summoned that are most accepting of learning they died on earth and getting a second chance as a fighter in another world, and he’s excited to see just how his new abilities can be used

Abrus

The great earth spirit. After surviving the loss of his world with the other great spirits and all the regular spirits they could save, he settled on the new world for thousands of years before meeting and eventually falling in love with Pelenia

As a result of the system put on him and all of the other spirits when they joined the world, he unknowingly gained an ability all other races had to one extent or another. Sexual reproduction.

While far different from a spirits normal means of reproduction (where groups of them would divide off pieces of their living mana, forging it into a new spirit) it seems to be a side effect of one of the aspects designed into the system itself, the ability to produce offspring across the various races, despite potential physiological, biological, or chemical differences that would normally prevent such a thing.

With both a playful yet protective personality, he’s discovered aspects of himself he did not realize he was capable of, such as romantic love and parental affection, the later he learns with the birth of his daughter, the first half spirit, Thera.

Anailia

Goddess of the succubi. A goddess of love and seduction. Her husband was Tolona, a god of unity and strength (specifically emotional strength) who died fighting off invaders to help his people escape.

One of the few gods who managed to save a large population of their race, the succubi number in the low millions as a result of the structure of her trial being convenient for taking in a large number of residents and supporting their population.

As a result of this, no matter how much help she has for these tasks she cannot always be aware of the events facing her people unless she is informed by her apostle or they are of great urgency.

Much like all larger gods, it is also impractical for her to attempt to bestow all of her believers with blessings and gift skills as a result of the attention it would require to determine the believer’s character. Instead, she opts to use her trial and watches for any figures who demonstrate the best ability to use her gifts.

Funa

The great spirit of darkness who escaped her world along with Abrus and the others.

While at this time she has no desire to try to produce a child with one of the other races that inhabit the world, she has a great fondness for Thera, loving her as her niece and seeing in her the potential future for spirits as a whole.

She’s long wanted to help her niece attempt to raise her charm to a level where it would be manageable. As a being with no definite lifespan as well as knowing Thera is in for a long one herself, she’s sure it will be a path that is taken eventually, and sees no harm in getting it out of the way as soon as possible, but will respect Theras wishes on the matter.

After heroes were summoned from other worlds to raise their number of tier two magic and combat skill users, she is asked by Pelenia to help train Karly, a tier two skill user with dark empress magic, and agrees for the friendship between them and her long history with Abrus

Furela

An incubus with an awakened barrier magic skill. As it is rare to have an awakened non-affinited magic skill, him handling Globs training was without doubt from the time the grey’s skills were discovered

Globolgork

A creature that would be known as a grey on earth, he’s one of a separate group of summoned heroes who came with the skill barrier mastery.

He came from a race that through their technological advances is able to peer into other universes, as well as project themselves into them, seemingly as a way of pranking the residents of other worlds, but how true that is remains to be seen.

As a result, after being summoned he maintains a relationship with his homeworld, reporting on the events that take place regularly and giving his own interpretations of what he sees.

Pelenia

The queen of the succubi and Theras mother. She gained her role as queen after quickly conquering the trial with Abrus, much to her god’s amusement.

With a personality that can range from playful to scheming, she’s more than happy to try and manipulate events as she sees fit, though she does have the best of intentions while doing it, regardless of what others may think.

Has a not insignificant interest in tying Ben to her nation, as well as forcing him to make her daughter happy.

Karly

Ben’s former classmate. Has an advanced form of dark magic, dark empress magic.

When she first joined the nation of Anailia she went through many of the same emotional struggles that Ben did but has been receiving mental support, as well as creating her own through her goal of completing the trial to become a candidate for the throne.

Though she ultimately failed, she doesn’t mind too much, having gotten the chance to talk with Ben and deciding to take a trip to see some of the friends she’s missed instead.

Mark

Ben’s younger brother and a sporty kid who loves attention. He would spend great deals of time with Ben while he was still alive on earth

Vividus

Great life spirit. Vivi for short. Not much is known about her currently other than the fact that she’s the one who came up with the plan to create more powerful half spirits and attempting to create something called a soul spirit with the great death spirit Nox. She does not get along well with Thera.

Nox

Great death spirit. Lives in the death mountains and attempting to create a soul spirit with Vividus. Does not get along with Thera.

Incedis

Great fire spirit. Attempting to produce a half spirit with a fire affinity fairy. Does not get along with Thera.

Genon

Great air spirit. Attempting to create a half spirit with a member of the Fulgur race in the hopes of taking advantage of their natural lightning magic. Does not get along with Thera.

Quilith

An alien that still lives in an alternate universe who watches over Glob. Ben convinced him to supply him with the information he wants once a month.
