Like Jin he is described to be incredibly handsome, the two of them are often took as references to judge a man's appearance.

## Personality

Kevin was bullied since he was young because of his poor talent. Fortunately, his mentality was strong and he was never saddened by his low level. After getting a system he was able to shed his old timid self. Since his parent's death, Kevin preferred staying out of people's sight, hence why he was not used to the stares in the beginning of the story, but he slowly get accustomed to it. Kevin has a flawless work ethic and is a training fanatic, he trained more than 8 hours a day. He also has a strong spirit of competition.

He has a very kind and upright personality and prefers to not kill his opponents if possible even if they try to kill him. That was seen when he tried to convince Ren to help the students who almost killed him during the battle royale, Kevin thought that they may have been blackmailed by the Monolith.

## Background

Originally, Kevin had a terrible E-ranked talent. He was bullied for it throughout his childhood.

In his childhood, Demons infiltrated his hometown and killed everyone, including his parents whom sacrificed their lives in order to save him. Because his hometown was far away from any major city, no rescue came until dawn, five hours after the massacre started. Since that day Kevin couldn't remember how many times he had woken up because of the nightmares.

When he was in his most dire state, a strange system suddenly appeared before him. Thanks to the system he managed to completely change himself, his body, his talent, his mentality. He went from an E-ranked talent to an SSS-rank talent over the course of a few months due to some bizzare elixir the system provided him.

## History

He asked Emma to guide him during the elective fair. They were intercepted by Fabian Parker while they were heading to choose his elective because Fabian took a liking to Emma who ignored and insulted him. He uses his aura to suppress them both resulting in Emma sustaining internal injuries before he was forced to stop by Jerome Wilson.

## System

The system is a more advanced version of the status window everyone have.

Not only did it grant the user the ability to check their status, but it also granted quests and tasks which upon completion will award the user with status points, skills, artifacts and other fantastic rewards. It also comes with an enormous storage space, the ability to travel through different planets, and a shop where he can buy potions and others things.

The system is something given to him by the Akashic Records. Sensing that its existence was in danger due to the threat of the Demon King, the records chose Kevin and give him power to prevent the demon king from ever getting to it.Later it was revealed that the Akashic Records did not choose him, but instead created him with the sole purpose of killing Jezebeth. The records created him in the image of Jezebeth as seen by how Kevin used to white hair and red eyes just like him. Futhermore, It also gave him the ability to regress upon death. Using this ability, he regressed over 210(Likely hundreds to millions of times more). The records also made it so that Kevin's life would follow the same path as Jezebeth, such as both having to watch their parents dying while trying to protect them. It also made it impossible for Kevin to ever try to harm the Records as he would feel immense backlash.

Kevin in one of the previous regressions sealed away Ren using the system. This has lead to him dying in the current regression after completing his synchronization. The backlash from sealing Ren, a being that stood at the pinnacle of power in the universe and is numerous times stronger than the demon king, is slowly but surely killing him.

Later, it was revealed that the reason Ren regressed was because Kevin choose him to be one who will destroy the records. Furthermore, the seed of limit was item he created using the power of Akashic records specifically for Ren.
