This work provides examples of:
- The Blacksmith: Char and Arthur are both metalworkers, though Char shows shades of Ultimate Blacksmith . While Arthur is shown to be able to make a sword, he requires the help of Hasha to make it magical. Char, on the other hand, uses both magic from his world and blacksmithing techniques from ours to create armor of incredible power and durability.
- The Chosen One:
- Katya, a young woman who is touted as being the future hero of the world. Except she isn't. The whole thing was a lie told to control the populace in the aftermath of a great plague.
- Char mentions the local faith has a Prophesied Child.
- Half-Human Hybrid:
- The main character.
- There is also an assassin who is apparently half-dwarf, and Januse, a beastman who suggest he is also a hybrid.
- Considering Hasha first met Char due to the formers studies of hybrids, it's possible there are dozens more, though it's unknown how prevalent they are.
- Magitek: In the world of Turab, where the story takes place, magic and science exist side by side. Though magic exists in this world, it is still viewed from a scientific angle. Thus a wizard will use words like 'hypothesis' and 'radiation' along with words like 'elemental spirits' and 'healing potions' all with the logical mindset a modern day scientist would have.
