## Personality

Kim Namwoon is a military otaku and a chuunibyou. Despite his bloodthirsty first impression, he has a laidback personality, as shown by how he enjoyed being in Tartarus and felt grateful to Kim Dokja for killing him.

## History

Prior to the events of Omniscient Reader, Kim Namwoon was a year two student at Chungil High School.

## Synopsis

Kim Namwoon is riding in the same subway carriage as Kim Dokja when the scenarios begin. He is the first in the carriage to accept that they would have to kill a living creature to fulfill the first scenario. He tries to kill an elderly woman, and after he realizes that Kim Dokja wants to save the woman, tries to kill him as well. However, the attempt is ineffective due to Kim Dokja's coin boosted stats, and he dies after being unable to kill anyone within the time limit of the scenario.

He later reappears as an denizen of Tartarus, encountering Kim Dokja moments after the latter arrives in the Underworld. In response to Kim Dokja's questioning, Kim Namwoon tells him that he hasn't seen a young woman with white hair appear in the Underworld recently, and that he had been working on the construction of Hades's Giant Soldier, which Kim Namwoon thinks of as a Gundam. When they hear the smithy's manager coming, he grabs Kim Dokja's shoulder and leads him to his workshop, where Kim Dokja can pretend to hammer and avoid being punished. This amiable behavior surprises Kim Dokja, as does his explanation that he had reflected after coming to Tartarus and is thankful that Kim Dokja had killed him.

However, after he finds out that Kim Dokja is still alive, his attitude becomes less friendly, and when Kim Dokja asks if there is anywhere to hide from the administrator, Kim Namwoon suggests the undoubtedly fatal solution of going inside of the Gundam. Later, as Kim Dokja is guided to Hades' palace, he looks back and waves to Kim Namwoon, who stares back blankly.

## Quotes

* A new world requires new laws.
* I don't want to, I don't want to! I don't want to die! Aaaaaaack!
* A meal is served when it is time to eat. I can sleep when it is time to sleep. I don't have to go to school and won't be nagged at by my parents… It is a bit hot but this place is the best. Besides, I can assemble the Gundam when I get bored. Isn't this good? It is thanks to you. I'm serious. Really, thank you.
* I'm only good to people who are also dead. I'm sorry that we met when you are a living person. Ahjussi, you should die soon and come back again.
* Okay, it is a special service. Take a look, Ahjussi. I'll give you a good show.
* Lumps, you aren't dead like me. Those who are alive can change the future, yet you’re already giving up? They say that gods are greater than humans and have enormous mental strength? ■king bull■! Whining after losing a few times…!
