* DyingRace: His ancestors became this thanks to them being driven for Alfheim. Away from the Magical Moon Din, their physical, magical abilities and lifespan dwindled with each generation. Their [[SterilityPlague birthrates suffered as well]].
* FantasticRacism: His people, the elves descended from the Sky Country Alfheim, were persecuted by the [[HumansByAnyOtherName Norcs]] and built a fortress to resist them, that became the Zeshum ruins.

* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: According to Mea, since Ebelheid went to jail for his rampage, he'll live the rest of his life with his failure, now seen as 'Just an elf who went DrunkWithPower for his desire for {{Revenge}}', [[NoTrueScotsman something an elf is too proud to act on]]]].

A court mage employed by the lord of Lomarn City to supervise the investigation operation of Zeshum Ruins. Despite his position, he's inept at his job, clashes with Ebelheid on how to examine the ruins, and would run at the first sign of danger.

A D-rank adventurer who accosts Abel and Mea after they redeemed the fur of the "Head-Eater Demon" at the Adventurer Support Center, accusing them of cheating and tries to intimidate them. He's been stuck as a D rank for 10-years and he takes it on adventurers who stand out. Abel manages to strike a deal with him that benefits them both.
----
* AchillesInHisTent: Becomes this in the webnovel, after his defeat by Gordon and Mordon and getting his sword sold. Walking in a daze and DrowningHisSorrows. But then Abel calls the brothers to pull him to the Adventurer Support Center to [[ThrowTheDogABone redeem Evil Bound's telepathic roots]].
* AppealToForce: When Gordon and Mordon confront him about Abel's money and him spending it on a tavern, he checks the alley they're in for onlookers, than pulls his sword on the brothers to intimidate them.
* {{BFS}}: His sword, Vairablow, has a blade larger than the average sword-blade, and weigh twice as much. Can cut the bones of magical beasts with its weight and crush the bones from a blow to the beast's stomach.
* BreakTheHaughty: When he refused to give Gordon and Mordon the reword money he should've handed to Abel and threatened them, they both fight him. [[spoiler: Not only did they defeat him, got the rest of the money, but they also took his sword, Vairablow, and sold it for compensation]].

* BringMyBrownPants: After taking Brian's MightyRoar head-on, signifying his defeat.
* DumbMuscle: He accepts Abel's made-up story about a dangerous strong adventurer who kills monsters for Abel to redeem in his place because his license was revoked without hesitation. Still, that doesn't stop him from threatening to {{Blackmail}} Abel with that information for money. He accepts taking the credit for the kills though.
* FakeUltimateHero: What Abel turns him into for his benefit. Since he's an intimidating thug, no one will complain or suspect foul-play whenever he redeems monsters remains, even if their threat level is bigger than his rank. Things goes out of control when Abel accidentally gives him the credit for defeating Margus, and then gets scouted.. by Princess Charlotte.
* FellAsleepStandingUp: More like [[FaintInShock fainted standing up]] from fear of [[BloodKnight Brian]]. Adding to his [[BringMyBrownPants accidental leak]], maximizing the humiliation.
* FishOutOfWater: After his promotion to Charlotte's Elite Guard Squad's Captain. A chapter was focused on how he looked surrounded by the elite soldiers and how out of place he is.
* FiveFingerDiscount: How Gaston obtained his sword, Vairablow. He threatened a famous blacksmith into giving him the sword with a discount.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Claims that adventurers who cheats to raise their rank are a plague and the reason why hard-workers like him are stuck in the gutter, but then accepts Abel's proposal to take the credit for someone else kills. Abel [[LampshadeHanging lampshade it]]:
-->'''Abel (narrating)''': But if Gaston was seriously concerned about the current state of the facility, this negotiation was impossible.. Thank God Gaston was not a righteous man.
* JerkJock: Large, mean and a bully. He's even been warned many times by the Support Center's receptionists for his unruly behavior. Often claims he's doing good for the facility by exposing and straightening cheaters, when he's just taking his frustration on those who overachieve.
* NeverLearnedToRead: Don't snatch someone's else quest report and asks him to read it aloud. He'll think you're making fun of his inability to read. This also helps Abel gives Mea the task of writing Gaston's Quest Report, since he won't read the reports filled with WrittenSoundEffect.
* PeerPressureMakesYouEvil: In the webnovel, after he redeems the Balm Birds that Abel and Mea hunted, the number of Gaston's cronies suddenly increases and they ask him to rent the tavern for ARoundOfDrinksForTheHouse for celebration. He caves in and pays for it with the money he was meant to give Abel. Fortunately, Abel already recruited [[ReformedCriminal some muscle]] to track and set him straight.
* PetTheDog: To prove his cooperation to Abel after their deal, he walks into the Support Center and sees his [[YesMan two lackeys]] harassing poor Mea to tears, and [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punches those ruffians]] away and [[HypocriticalHumor berates them for making a girl cry and for looking down on people's accomplishments]].
* PragmaticVillainy: Gaston accepts to just [[StealingTheCredit take the credit]] for Abel's monster kills and hands him the money rewards. Not only because of Abel's made-up story, but also because once he get scouted by a nobleman, the money he'll make will make the money he could squeeze off Abel looks like chump change.
* RankUp: He was promoted from C class to Semi-A Class after the incident with Margus. Than he's appointed as Captain of the Elite Guards of Princess Charlotte.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the webnovel, Gaston sees the citizens running away from a threat. He attempts running away, but two female adventurers say that he'll probably defeat it. He tries running some more, only to find every person he runs into cheering on him. Surrounded by the people's cheering, he has a EpiphanyComeback and charges back at the threat. [[spoiler: He's TakenForGranite as he realizes his foolishness]].
* StolenCreditBackfire: Once a sorcerer appears in Lomarn City and starts petrifying people with his magic, Gaston is encouraged by his fellow adventurers to go and take him down with their help. Gaston starts BelievingTheirOwnLies and rushes straight to danger in the manga, or running away when no one is looking in the webnovel. Both ends up with him TakenForGranite.
* UngratefulBastard: When Princess Charlotte scouts Gaston to become Captain, [[SaveTheJerk Abel tries to interfere]] and asks for the Princess to reconsider, since she doesn't know the truth about his 'heroics' and Gaston might get [[RevengeByProxy himself and Abel executed]]. Gaston knee-kicks Abel for that and [[HypocriticalHumor accuses him of trying to take his credit]]. Luckily Abel shielded himself with the World Tree Totem in the last minute.
* UltimateJobSecurity: His "Ultimate" fate after the fiasco of his [[SquashMatch fight with Brian]]. The Princess who employed him wants to get rid of him, but doing so would mean admitting she made a mistake, which her {{pride}} won't allow her to. However, keeping him would mean making sure people will still think he's "[[FakeUltimateHero Legendary Adventurer]]" she made him out to be. Fortunately, she decides on the latter, but that means [[CruelMercy he's stuck on her terms]].
* UnskilledButStrong: Has a huge body, the muscles and strength that comes with the adventuring life, but he lacks the skills and the achievements that'll make him [[RankUp advance through the ranks]].

[[folder:Gordon and Mordon]]
-->'''Mordon''': “…… Well, you really can do anything you want, can’t you?”\\
'''Gordon''': “I didn’t know that I was picking a fight with this kind of person.”
Two adventurers brothers who encounter Abel and Mea after they've hunted a lot of Balm Birds. They couldn't hunt a single bird for a long time, so they thought of forcing Mea into their team since she hunted the birds, and hurting Abel so he couldn't adventure again. After Abel trounce them both, they swear loyalty to him.
----
* AdaptedOut: Neither them nor their plotline are present in the manga.
* BetrayalInsurance: [[ProperlyParanoid Abel]] assigns them as a deterrent to Gaston, should the latter tries betraying him. Which he actually does soon after, [[spoiler: only for them to set him straight on the same night]].
* BringMyBrownPants: After Abel point his wand at a defeated Gordon's head.
* BluffWorkedTooWell: They were actually bluffing about hurting Abel at least, but they didn't know they were MuggingTheMonster.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Despite Gordon taking his axe on Abel, the latter [[FingerPokeOfDoom flicks him off]] with [[DishingOutDirt a big hand made of soil]]. [[SoreLoser Gordon]] orders Mordon to shoot Abel with his bow, which he reluctantly does, only for Abel to overpower him with a RazorWind, [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands smashing his bow and the trees around him]], but leaving him unharmed. Then he points his wand at a downed Gordon, deflecting his earlier threat at him.
** The two end up doing this to Gaston when they went to retrieve the money for Abel. [[spoiler: Gordon kept pulling feint attacks on Gaston while he kept swinging his big sword with one hand, driving him back until Mordon jumped to Gaston's feet and pulled him down for both brothers to give him a beatdown]].
* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Abel put them in their place, they offers to help him and Mea move the twenty Balm Birds they've hunted before encountering them, in exchange for obtaining the gold coins the birds swallowed. He accepted.
* EntitledToHaveYou: Non-romantic example. Gordon tries to talk Mea into joining him and his brother in adventuring to help them get results, whether she likes it or not. He also seems oblivious to how uncomfortable he's making her feel, [[QuakingWithFear even when she's scared stiff and unable to stand]] without leaning on Abel.
* FreudianExcuse: Gordon was [[GreenEyedMonster jealous]] of seeing [[BattleCouple male and female adventurers together]], caused troubles with other adventurers and got kicked out, so he had his brother join him, and believed that if he didn't snatch Mea from Abel, someone else would.
* HeelFaceTurn: One CurbStompBattle converted them from bullies to lackeys.
* KnuckleCracking: Before Gordon charges at Abel, he cracks his neck. Abel notes [[DoNotTryThisAtHome how he was rushed to the hospital]] in his previous life because of doing that.
* MightMakesRight: Gordon finds it okay to beat up a scrawny teen until he can't move to take his friend away because she's good at hunting. Subverted as he was trying to scare Abel off.
* MistakenForBadass: Seeing a weak-looking boy and a girl wielding a bow surrounded by twenty dead valuable birds shot with arrows made them get the wrong idea. It didn't help that Abel [[BeCarefulWhatYouSay said that she hunted the birds]] to [[GuileHero hide his use of forbidden Bio-magic]].
* MistakenForCouple: Gordon's chastises Mordon, when he asked Abel why he'd have Mea tag along and hunt with him if he's [[TheArchmage so powerful with magic]] to hunt by himself, by stating that they must be lovers, seeing how [[SecurityCling close they are]]. Abel was [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend dumbstruck]] and tried to explain his reasons and Mea got [[LuminescentBlush flustered]].
* MotivatedByFear: Abel entrusts them with handing the Balm Birds to Gaston AND getting the reward money from him. When he tells them not to disappear with the money, Gordon's response:
-->'''Gordon''': “Don’t worry, I won’t take any chances with that kind of danger”.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Not only did they defeat Gaston [[GoodOldFisticuffs barehanded]], took what's left of the money to return to Abel, but they also took Vairablow, Gaston's sword, and sold it to a back alley shop to compensate for his spending, but rushed the appraisal process, getting a cheap price.
-->'''Abel (narrating)''': And they sold it off for cheap. [[EveryoneHasStandards Are these two demons?]]
* RecruitingTheCriminal: Abel has them act as middle men between him a Gaston, which was needed since Gaston does try to cheat him out of his money on the first time, and they offer to track and get him to pay it back.
* TheSocialDarwinist: Gordon claims to believes in 'Survival of the Fittest' and challenges Abel to "test if he's qualified for adventuring". If Abel wins, he keeps Mea. If he loses, Gordon won't kill him, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown but he'll leave him battered he'll never be an adventurer again]]. This also how he justifies forcing Mea into joining them, [[WomenPreferStrongMen since he thinks Abel can't defend her]]. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] once Abel defeats him, [[PaperTiger as he quickly folds]] and confesses that all his talk about hurting Abel was just a bluff to scare him off, and him ordering Mordon to shoot Abel was because he thought the latter was really going to kill him.
* UndyingLoyalty: When Gaston threaten them with his sword to dissuade them from getting Abel's money, they both team up on him, despite his threats. [[spoiler: [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome They succeed]]]].
* VillainsWantMercy: Gordon quickly crumbles after Abel wins against him, and rapidly says he's sorry. He even [[TakeMeInstead offers himself to spare his brother]] from Abel's wrath. Fortunately, he and Mordon really mean it.
* WeaponOfChoice: Gordon uses [[AnAxeToGrind an axe]], and Mordon uses [[ArcherArchetype bow and arrows]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Threatens Abel with bodily-harm when he stood up for Mea, and passes off the idea of crippling him as [[HuntingAccident an accident that could happens to adventurers any day]]. Subverted as it was a bluff to scare Abel.

A sorcerer skilled in magic and versed in demonic knowledge. He was driven out of his hometown because of his dabbling in the forbidden magic. He steals a magical staff from a Kudor religion's monastery known as 'Zolomonia's Staff', unseals the Great Demon inside it in exchange for power, and attacks many villages as a demonstration.
----
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the manga, he was banished from his village because he continued researching magic. And that he believes that the peace-drunk world is rotten for looking down on mages, and want to show everyone the power of demons in his rampage.
* CargoShip: In-Universe. Has a really creepy obsession with Zolomonia's staff. He even rubbed his cheeks on the staff. In the webnovel, he screams and shouts at Abel not to touch the staff, while he slowly petrifies.
* {{Ephebophile}}: In his LoveHungry state, he can't help but eye [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Zolomonia]], who's disgusted, but willing to use him.
* EtTuBrute: Was utterly baffled when Zolomonia betrayed him and went to Abel in the webnovel. He then goes with a rapid IllKillYou.
* EvilIsNotAToy: The name 'Demon of Knowledge and Destruction' should've tipped him off.
* EvilRedhead: Mentioned in the webnovel to have red hair.
* EvilSorcerer: Petrifies villagers and townsfolk to show off his powers.
* FameThroughInfamy: Why he turns villages' worth of people to [[TakenForGranite stone]]? So that people will see them, try and defeat him to break the spell, only for him to turn them too, so that more powerful people will seek to defeat him, and he'll turn them too, making his name known to all.
* FreudianExcuse: In the webnovel, nobody understood him as a child obsessed with [[ManWasNotMeantToKnow demon magic]], [[ForcedFromTheirHome kicked off from his house]] at the age of 10 by his parents, thinking he could ruin his sister's marriage. He then joined a crazy {{Cult}} of extremists, [[EvenEvilHasStandards only to prove even crazier than them]], getting him kicked out. So he lived alone, but he DesperatelyCravesAffection.
* LonersAreFreaks: He's 28 years old, with no friends, let alone a lover.
* NoOntologicalInertia: After he's knocked out, his pertification spell was undone and every victim of it was back to normal.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Tries pulling this on Abel in the manga, as he states his motivation and asks him to [[WeCanRuleTogether join him in his cause]]. Abel does understand and agrees on his situation, but he had people like [[TheMentor the Chieftain]] and [[BestFriend Yama-san]] from his previous life, who respected his interests, but he didn't get to answer him.
* ReformedCriminal: Peter, in gratitude for his service for freeing Zolomonia's staff, visits Margus in prison and offers him a chance to serve him again. Margus accepts with no hesitation, [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse because either he accepts or he'll die]], now that HeKnowsTooMuch from the [[ShadowDictator man who has power over even the Dinrat Kingdom's King]].
* TakenForGranite: The fate of many of those who crossed him. In the webnovel, Abel gives him a [[HoistByHisOwnPetard taste of his own medicine]] after he sabotages his magic circle.
* ThisCannotBe: He shouts that in the webnovel when his petrification curse is misdirected on him and begins turning him to stone.
* UnwittingPawn: He joined a criminal organization of Kudor religion extremists, Amor, and stole a "Kudor's tentacle" from their leader to free Zolomonia's staff from the monastery housing it. What he didn't know was: that Amor's leader happens to be [[ShadowDictator Peter]], who needed someone to free Zolomonia and put it where he could obtain it away from Kudor's followers' eyes, and he did let him steal the tentacle to do the job.

The fourth child of the current King Dinrat. After hearing of [[FakeUltimateHero Gaston]]'s 'exploits', she comes to Lomarn's Adventurer Support Center to personally appoint him as new Captain of her Elite Guards squad.
----
* DependingUponTheUndependable: Why Gaston suddenly jumped from C-class to semi-A-Class? Charlotte [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem made a handout to the Adventurer Support Center]] to have him jump ranks before scouting him. Why do all of this? So she could unveil him in the arena and use his fame to boost her image, and her {{Pride}} made her refuse to install an adventurer of a rank lower than [[SiblingRivalry her brothers]]' captains' ranks as captain.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Her gambit of using Gaston somehow worked and Prince Alphonse's chances to the throne plummeted. However, she'll have to contend with a FakeUltimateHero who no longer could [[StealingTheCredit claim someone else's work to himself]], stuck in a job above his abilities, and will have to spin her PropagandaMachine to make him look like the "[[FamedInStory Legendary Hero]]" she made him out to be.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. The Princess chose Gaston, despite his past bad conduct and behavior, because of his FolkHero fame, with intention of turning him into a PropagandaHero for her benefit. But then it is [[DoubleSubversion double subverted]], as [[WorldsBestWarrior elite guards captains]] of each Prince are pitted against each other in a GladiatorGames event.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Her previous Captain, Lancelot, who is to be released from service for Gaston to take his place. He foiled an AssassinationAttempt on Princess Charlotte by cutting down three of the assailants and taking one prisoner. That made Gaston fears him.
* PoliticallyActivePrincess: While it's done in the background, it's a requirement to be deemed worthy of the throne by the King. Touring the provinces, greeting the allies, and organizing her own Elite Guards.
* PropagandaMachine: To cover her plunder with Gaston, she spreads news that the "[[SquashMatch Fight]]" between Gaston and Brian, was such [[AwesomenessIsVolatile an amazing battle]] most people [[IncomprehensibleTrueForm didn't understand]]. The evidence? [[RetiredMonster Brian]] losing [[DelayedCausality confidence]] and leaving.
* RebelliousPrincess: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]]. Because she was the youngest of his children, King Dinrat didn't consider raising her to be a ruler like his three princes. She was "free at best, or raised rather irresponsibly at worst" and the people didn't have high hopes in her. She agreed with her father's opinion, but then taught herself the necessities of politics, and became a PoliticallyActivePrincess and candidate to the throne, [[spoiler: to prevent her oldest brother, [[EvilPrince Prince Alphonse]], from inheriting it]].

That made Abel unnerved and wary of her, but nothing came out of it. Maybe she said that to Mea, [[BatmanGambit knowing that she'll mention it to Abel]], [[ItAmusedMe just to mess with him]].

* DumbMuscle: He accepts Abel's made-up story about a dangerous strong adventurer who kills monsters for Abel to redeem in his place because his license was revoked without hesitation. Still, that doesn't stop him from threatening to {{Blackmail}} Abel with that information for money. He accepts taking the credit for the kills though.
* FakeUltimateHero: What Abel turns him into for his benefit. Since he's an intimidating thug, no one will complain or suspect foul-play whenever he redeems monsters remains, even if their threat level is bigger than his rank. Things goes out of control when Abel accidentally gives him the credit for defeating Margus, and then gets scouted.. by Princess Charlotte.
* FellAsleepStandingUp: More like [[FaintInShock fainted standing up]] from fear of [[BloodKnight Brian]]. Adding to his [[BringMyBrownPants accidental leak]], maximizing the humiliation.

* FiveFingerDiscount: How Gaston obtained his sword, Vairablow. He threatened a famous blacksmith into giving him the sword with a discount.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Claims that adventurers who cheats to raise their rank are a plague and the reason why hard-workers like him are stuck in the gutter, but then accepts Abel's proposal to take the credit for someone else kills. Abel [[LampshadeHanging lampshade it]]:
-->'''Abel (narrating)''': But if Gaston was seriously concerned about the current state of the facility, this negotiation was impossible.. Thank God Gaston was not a righteous man.
* JerkJock: Large, mean and a bully. He's even been warned many times by the Support Center's receptionists for his unruly behavior. Often claims he's doing good for the facility by exposing and straightening cheaters, when he's just taking his frustration on those who overachieve.
* NeverLearnedToRead: Don't snatch someone's else quest report and asks him to read it aloud. He'll think you're making fun of his inability to read. This also helps Abel gives Mea the task of writing Gaston's Quest Report, since he won't read the reports filled with WrittenSoundEffect.
* PeerPressureMakesYouEvil: In the webnovel, after he redeems the Balm Birds that Abel and Mea hunted, the number of Gaston's cronies suddenly increases and they ask him to rent the tavern for ARoundOfDrinksForTheHouse for celebration. He caves in and pays for it with the money he was meant to give Abel. Fortunately, Abel already recruited [[ReformedCriminal some muscle]] to track and set him straight.
* PetTheDog: To prove his cooperation to Abel after their deal, he walks into the Support Center and sees his [[YesMan two lackeys]] harassing poor Mea to tears, and [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punches those ruffians]] away and [[HypocriticalHumor berates them for making a girl cry and for looking down on people's accomplishments]].
* PragmaticVillainy: Gaston accepts to just [[StealingTheCredit take the credit]] for Abel's monster kills and hands him the money rewards. Not only because of Abel's made-up story, but also because once he get scouted by a nobleman, the money he'll make will make the money he could squeeze off Abel looks like chump change.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the webnovel, Gaston sees the citizens running away from a threat. He attempts running away, but two female adventurers say that he'll probably defeat it. He tries running some more, only to find every person he runs into cheering on him. Surrounded by the people's cheering, he has a EpiphanyComeback and charges back at the threat. [[spoiler: He's TakenForGranite as he realizes his foolishness]].
* StolenCreditBackfire: Once a sorcerer appears in Lomarn City and starts petrifying people with his magic, Gaston is encouraged by his fellow adventurers to go and take him down with their help. Gaston starts BelievingTheirOwnLies and rushes straight to danger in the manga, or running away when no one is looking in the webnovel. Both ends up with him TakenForGranite.
* UngratefulBastard: When Princess Charlotte scouts Gaston to become Captain, [[SaveTheJerk Abel tries to interfere]] and asks for the Princess to reconsider, since she doesn't know the truth about his 'heroics' and Gaston might get [[RevengeByProxy himself and Abel executed]]. Gaston knee-kicks Abel for that and [[HypocriticalHumor accuses him of trying to take his credit]]. Luckily Abel shielded himself with the World Tree Totem in the last minute.
* UltimateJobSecurity: His "Ultimate" fate after the fiasco of his [[SquashMatch fight with Brian]]. The Princess who employed him wants to get rid of him, but doing so would mean admitting she made a mistake, which her {{pride}} won't allow her to. However, keeping him would mean making sure people will still think he's "[[FakeUltimateHero Legendary Adventurer]]" she made him out to be. Fortunately, she decides on the latter, but that means [[CruelMercy he's stuck on her terms]].
* UnskilledButStrong: Has a huge body, the muscles and strength that comes with the adventuring life, but he lacks the skills and the achievements that'll make him [[RankUp advance through the ranks]].

[[folder:Gordon and Mordon]]
-->'''Mordon''': “…… Well, you really can do anything you want, can’t you?”\\
'''Gordon''': “I didn’t know that I was picking a fight with this kind of person.”
Two adventurers brothers who encounter Abel and Mea after they've hunted a lot of Balm Birds. They couldn't hunt a single bird for a long time, so they thought of forcing Mea into their team since she hunted the birds, and hurting Abel so he couldn't adventure again. After Abel trounce them both, they swear loyalty to him.
----
* AdaptedOut: Neither them nor their plotline are present in the manga.
* BetrayalInsurance: [[ProperlyParanoid Abel]] assigns them as a deterrent to Gaston, should the latter tries betraying him. Which he actually does soon after, [[spoiler: only for them to set him straight on the same night]].
* BringMyBrownPants: After Abel point his wand at a defeated Gordon's head.
* BluffWorkedTooWell: They were actually bluffing about hurting Abel at least, but they didn't know they were MuggingTheMonster.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Despite Gordon taking his axe on Abel, the latter [[FingerPokeOfDoom flicks him off]] with [[DishingOutDirt a big hand made of soil]]. [[SoreLoser Gordon]] orders Mordon to shoot Abel with his bow, which he reluctantly does, only for Abel to overpower him with a RazorWind, [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands smashing his bow and the trees around him]], but leaving him unharmed. Then he points his wand at a downed Gordon, deflecting his earlier threat at him.
** The two end up doing this to Gaston when they went to retrieve the money for Abel. [[spoiler: Gordon kept pulling feint attacks on Gaston while he kept swinging his big sword with one hand, driving him back until Mordon jumped to Gaston's feet and pulled him down for both brothers to give him a beatdown]].
* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Abel put them in their place, they offers to help him and Mea move the twenty Balm Birds they've hunted before encountering them, in exchange for obtaining the gold coins the birds swallowed. He accepted.
* EntitledToHaveYou: Non-romantic example. Gordon tries to talk Mea into joining him and his brother in adventuring to help them get results, whether she likes it or not. He also seems oblivious to how uncomfortable he's making her feel, [[QuakingWithFear even when she's scared stiff and unable to stand]] without leaning on Abel.
* FreudianExcuse: Gordon was [[GreenEyedMonster jealous]] of seeing [[BattleCouple male and female adventurers together]], caused troubles with other adventurers and got kicked out, so he had his brother join him, and believed that if he didn't snatch Mea from Abel, someone else would.
* HeelFaceTurn: One CurbStompBattle converted them from bullies to lackeys.
* KnuckleCracking: Before Gordon charges at Abel, he cracks his neck. Abel notes [[DoNotTryThisAtHome how he was rushed to the hospital]] in his previous life because of doing that.
* MightMakesRight: Gordon finds it okay to beat up a scrawny teen until he can't move to take his friend away because she's good at hunting. Subverted as he was trying to scare Abel off.
* MistakenForBadass: Seeing a weak-looking boy and a girl wielding a bow surrounded by twenty dead valuable birds shot with arrows made them get the wrong idea. It didn't help that Abel [[BeCarefulWhatYouSay said that she hunted the birds]] to [[GuileHero hide his use of forbidden Bio-magic]].
* MistakenForCouple: Gordon's chastises Mordon, when he asked Abel why he'd have Mea tag along and hunt with him if he's [[TheArchmage so powerful with magic]] to hunt by himself, by stating that they must be lovers, seeing how [[SecurityCling close they are]]. Abel was [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend dumbstruck]] and tried to explain his reasons and Mea got [[LuminescentBlush flustered]].
* MotivatedByFear: Abel entrusts them with handing the Balm Birds to Gaston AND getting the reward money from him. When he tells them not to disappear with the money, Gordon's response:
-->'''Gordon''': “Don’t worry, I won’t take any chances with that kind of danger”.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Not only did they defeat Gaston [[GoodOldFisticuffs barehanded]], took what's left of the money to return to Abel, but they also took Vairablow, Gaston's sword, and sold it to a back alley shop to compensate for his spending, but rushed the appraisal process, getting a cheap price.
-->'''Abel (narrating)''': And they sold it off for cheap. [[EveryoneHasStandards Are these two demons?]]
* RecruitingTheCriminal: Abel has them act as middle men between him a Gaston, which was needed since Gaston does try to cheat him out of his money on the first time, and they offer to track and get him to pay it back.
* TheSocialDarwinist: Gordon claims to believes in 'Survival of the Fittest' and challenges Abel to "test if he's qualified for adventuring". If Abel wins, he keeps Mea. If he loses, Gordon won't kill him, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown but he'll leave him battered he'll never be an adventurer again]]. This also how he justifies forcing Mea into joining them, [[WomenPreferStrongMen since he thinks Abel can't defend her]]. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] once Abel defeats him, [[PaperTiger as he quickly folds]] and confesses that all his talk about hurting Abel was just a bluff to scare him off, and him ordering Mordon to shoot Abel was because he thought the latter was really going to kill him.
* UndyingLoyalty: When Gaston threaten them with his sword to dissuade them from getting Abel's money, they both team up on him, despite his threats. [[spoiler: [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome They succeed]]]].
* VillainsWantMercy: Gordon quickly crumbles after Abel wins against him, and rapidly says he's sorry. He even [[TakeMeInstead offers himself to spare his brother]] from Abel's wrath. Fortunately, he and Mordon really mean it.
* WeaponOfChoice: Gordon uses [[AnAxeToGrind an axe]], and Mordon uses [[ArcherArchetype bow and arrows]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Threatens Abel with bodily-harm when he stood up for Mea, and passes off the idea of crippling him as [[HuntingAccident an accident that could happens to adventurers any day]]. Subverted as it was a bluff to scare Abel.

[[folder:Margus Margnor]]
[[quoteright:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/margus.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:260:“My name will soon be known to the world as a fearsome great sorcerer! The world is going to be scared! Yes, to my existence!”]]
A sorcerer skilled in magic and versed in demonic knowledge. He was driven out of his hometown because of his dabbling in the forbidden magic. He steals a magical staff from a Kudor religion's monastery known as 'Zolomonia's Staff', unseals the Great Demon inside it in exchange for power, and attacks many villages as a demonstration.
----
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the manga, he was banished from his village because he continued researching magic. And that he believes that the peace-drunk world is rotten for looking down on mages, and want to show everyone the power of demons in his rampage.
* CargoShip: In-Universe. Has a really creepy obsession with Zolomonia's staff. He even rubbed his cheeks on the staff. In the webnovel, he screams and shouts at Abel not to touch the staff, while he slowly petrifies.
* {{Ephebophile}}: In his LoveHungry state, he can't help but eye [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Zolomonia]], who's disgusted, but willing to use him.
* EtTuBrute: Was utterly baffled when Zolomonia betrayed him and went to Abel in the webnovel. He then goes with a rapid IllKillYou.
* EvilIsNotAToy: The name 'Demon of Knowledge and Destruction' should've tipped him off.
* EvilRedhead: Mentioned in the webnovel to have red hair.
* EvilSorcerer: Petrifies villagers and townsfolk to show off his powers.
* FameThroughInfamy: Why he turns villages' worth of people to [[TakenForGranite stone]]? So that people will see them, try and defeat him to break the spell, only for him to turn them too, so that more powerful people will seek to defeat him, and he'll turn them too, making his name known to all.
* FreudianExcuse: In the webnovel, nobody understood him as a child obsessed with [[ManWasNotMeantToKnow demon magic]], [[ForcedFromTheirHome kicked off from his house]] at the age of 10 by his parents, thinking he could ruin his sister's marriage. He then joined a crazy {{Cult}} of extremists, [[EvenEvilHasStandards only to prove even crazier than them]], getting him kicked out. So he lived alone, but he DesperatelyCravesAffection.
* LonersAreFreaks: He's 28 years old, with no friends, let alone a lover.
* NoOntologicalInertia: After he's knocked out, his pertification spell was undone and every victim of it was back to normal.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Tries pulling this on Abel in the manga, as he states his motivation and asks him to [[WeCanRuleTogether join him in his cause]]. Abel does understand and agrees on his situation, but he had people like [[TheMentor the Chieftain]] and [[BestFriend Yama-san]] from his previous life, who respected his interests, but he didn't get to answer him.
* ReformedCriminal: Peter, in gratitude for his service for freeing Zolomonia's staff, visits Margus in prison and offers him a chance to serve him again. Margus accepts with no hesitation, [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse because either he accepts or he'll die]], now that HeKnowsTooMuch from the [[ShadowDictator man who has power over even the Dinrat Kingdom's King]].
* TakenForGranite: The fate of many of those who crossed him. In the webnovel, Abel gives him a [[HoistByHisOwnPetard taste of his own medicine]] after he sabotages his magic circle.
* ThisCannotBe: He shouts that in the webnovel when his petrification curse is misdirected on him and begins turning him to stone.
* UnwittingPawn: He joined a criminal organization of Kudor religion extremists, Amor, and stole a "Kudor's tentacle" from their leader to free Zolomonia's staff from the monastery housing it. What he didn't know was: that Amor's leader happens to be [[ShadowDictator Peter]], who needed someone to free Zolomonia and put it where he could obtain it away from Kudor's followers' eyes, and he did let him steal the tentacle to do the job.

[[folder:Princess Charlotte Dinrat]]
[[quoteright:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0002_7.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:260:“Oh my goodness, that’s a nice mental attitude. I can’t wait to see how you do in the future.”]]
The fourth child of the current King Dinrat. After hearing of [[FakeUltimateHero Gaston]]'s 'exploits', she comes to Lomarn's Adventurer Support Center to personally appoint him as new Captain of her Elite Guards squad.
----
* DependingUponTheUndependable: Why Gaston suddenly jumped from C-class to semi-A-Class? Charlotte [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem made a handout to the Adventurer Support Center]] to have him jump ranks before scouting him. Why do all of this? So she could unveil him in the arena and use his fame to boost her image, and her {{Pride}} made her refuse to install an adventurer of a rank lower than [[SiblingRivalry her brothers]]' captains' ranks as captain.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Her gambit of using Gaston somehow worked and Prince Alphonse's chances to the throne plummeted. However, she'll have to contend with a FakeUltimateHero who no longer could [[StealingTheCredit claim someone else's work to himself]], stuck in a job above his abilities, and will have to spin her PropagandaMachine to make him look like the "[[FamedInStory Legendary Hero]]" she made him out to be.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. The Princess chose Gaston, despite his past bad conduct and behavior, because of his FolkHero fame, with intention of turning him into a PropagandaHero for her benefit. But then it is [[DoubleSubversion double subverted]], as [[WorldsBestWarrior elite guards captains]] of each Prince are pitted against each other in a GladiatorGames event.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Her previous Captain, Lancelot, who is to be released from service for Gaston to take his place. He foiled an AssassinationAttempt on Princess Charlotte by cutting down three of the assailants and taking one prisoner. That made Gaston fears him.
* PoliticallyActivePrincess: While it's done in the background, it's a requirement to be deemed worthy of the throne by the King. Touring the provinces, greeting the allies, and organizing her own Elite Guards.
* PropagandaMachine: To cover her plunder with Gaston, she spreads news that the "[[SquashMatch Fight]]" between Gaston and Brian, was such [[AwesomenessIsVolatile an amazing battle]] most people [[IncomprehensibleTrueForm didn't understand]]. The evidence? [[RetiredMonster Brian]] losing [[DelayedCausality confidence]] and leaving.
* RebelliousPrincess: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]]. Because she was the youngest of his children, King Dinrat didn't consider raising her to be a ruler like his three princes. She was "free at best, or raised rather irresponsibly at worst" and the people didn't have high hopes in her. She agreed with her father's opinion, but then taught herself the necessities of politics, and became a PoliticallyActivePrincess and candidate to the throne, [[spoiler: to prevent her oldest brother, [[EvilPrince Prince Alphonse]], from inheriting it]].
