Ruby

* 1
* 2

**Ruby** is the Demon King's heir, leader of the Demon King Army, and the ruler of demon kind. Her apparent goal is to inflict misery upon the human race, conquer it, and then destroy the world completely. She is the current chosen champion of the Demon God Eclipse.

## Background

A Young girl working at the Orphanage build secretly by Frey, she somehow found out about Frey being the Hero which led to a Special Penalty for Frey.

She is hinted at being the Demon lord pretending to be a human and also has a system called "Path of Pretender".

## Personality

She reveals in how powerful she is. She also wishes to use that power in a fight against someone strong enough to actually give her a challenge, like Frey Raon Starlight.

Her primary motive is a mixture of boredom and sadism. She is in constant need of stimulation. With so much power, she looks down on everything and can only get satisfaction by putting an end to all things while causing as much suffering as possible.

When doing missions for her System, her acting is good enough to make almost everyone surrounding her perceive her as a pure-hearted saintess. In alternate timelines, she has successfully presented herself as the "Hero" destined to oppose "Demon King Frey" when the truth was actually the other way around.

Having never experienced true hardship before, her tolerance for suffering is low, and the punishments inflicted by her System take a quick toll on her confidence.

## Powers & Abilities

She is the most powerful mortal in the world by an overwhelming margin, stronger than every other mortal in the world put together. Even Frey, the second strongest mortal, doesn't stand the slightest chance against her without fully charging the Hero's Armament. Before she received her first System penalty, she had never even experienced pain. With enough effort, she can even resurrect the dead.

She is also quasi-immortal and can only be slain by the Hero's Armament, powered by the Hero's own death. In an alternate timeline where Frey regressed enough times to defeat her without it, he still could not kill her, even after three days of repeatedly beating her to a pulp.

However, she is currently underneath tight restrictions that limit what she is allowed to do. In order to remove these restrictions, she needs her subordinates to perform magic rituals involving sufficient human sacrifice, to accumulate enough "False Good" points from her System, or for a third party to kill the Hero without her involvement.

When performing her role as the Demon King, she is protected by a glamor that prevents anyone from identifying her, or even questioning why they cannot remember her true appearance.

After time was reset, she, like Frey, received her own System. While Frey is required to perform good deeds disguised as evil ones, hers requires her to perform evil deeds disguised as good ones. Failing quests gives her temporary penalties. Being discovered as a false hero gives her a permanent penalty in the form of decreasing her stats and reducing her lifespan. Unlike Frey, she is aware that her System is powered by a deity that is hostile towards her and is only begrudgingly providing her with assistance.

Due to being a demon, holy magic, even when intended to heal, causes her pain.

Her human disguise is that of a young girl, while her true form is a mature adult with wings.
