**Dacon** is an NPC in Lucid Adventure, and Earth. She was an "**Agent of the First God**" and "**The One who Oversees Duels**". She was the older sister of Schub and the underling of God of Combat. Once the players joined Lucid Adventure, she became an "**NPC of Duels**" and could be seen rushing from place to place in order to referee PvPs.

She also served as one of the hosts of the Combat Tournament and announced the rules of the Preliminary Round to the participating characters. After God of Combat perished, Dacon perished too. She was reincarnated as an "**NPC of Duels**" by the Will of the World, losing her memory by the power of the world.

In Earth, Dacon acts as the "**NPC of Battles**" and presides over PvPs.

## Appearance

Dacon is an angel with small wings and unkempt short rosy hair. She has a brown eye patch covering her left eye and she wears a leather catsuit that exposes both sides of her midsection, black metallic gauntlets, leather straps on both arms and legs that held her blades, and black boots.

## Personality

Dacon gets a kick out of refereeing PKs as she can be seen with a big smile on her face every time she is summoned to oversee one. She believes that the glory and joy from battles should go towards God of Combat. Dacon is also a workaholic as she never rests and rushes from place to place, overseeing PKs. She is always in a hurry to referee the multiple PvPs around Lucid Adventure and is keen for them to be finished promptly.

She likes to keep things in an orderly fashion and doesn't like people who disrupt the order. She has a temper as seen when she scolded Schub for not watching God of Combat, and Choco Bibi for sending her multiple mails which she considered spam. In the case of Choco Bibi's, she thought about killing him but stopped because God of Combat requested to see him.

After her rebirth, her personality has not changed much although she now serves the "Will of the World", rather than the God of Combat.

## Relationships

### God of Combat

Dacon serves the God of Combat. Though the God of Combat treats her casually, she still reveres and formally talks with him. God of Combat is always open and honest with Dacon and always tells her his motives behind his actions. Dacon thinks that if left alone, God of Combat will ruin the Combat Tournament preparations and so she wants him followed all at all times during, especially during the preliminary round. Dacon feared that there would be an incident similar to the penultimate Combat Tournament and her fears were proven right as God of Combat got the contestants drunk. Dacon was pleased that it was not as bad as the previous year. After the events of the last Combat Tournament, Dacon was resurrected and had no memory of God of Combat.

### Schub

Dacon's brother. She is more well known than Schub to most players as the latter is lazy. Dacon doesn't like it when Schub is being lazy as she had scolded him for not watching over God of Combat. She also seems to not like it when Schub eats her cake.

### Combat Fairies

The Combat Fairies are the pawns of the NPCs of Duels. Dacon and Schub are able to communicate with each other through the Combat fairies and the Combat fairies tale the shape of the callers. The Combat Fairies also referee Formal Combat's when the NPCs of Duels are busy. Combat Fairies could be seen carrying Dacon's spam mails sent by Choco Bibi.

### Choco Bibi

Dacon was fuming that Choco Bibi sent 371 complaint letters which all said the same thing to her and she considered it spam mail. She actually wanted to kill Choco Bibi but abandoned the idea because God of Combat wanted to see Choco Bibi. She threatened to cut off Choco Bibi's mana lines if he continued to fool around and warned him not to tell anyone what he saw in God's Realm.

### Ligos

It is unknown if they had a direct interaction but Dacon was wary of Ligos. She was shocked that God of Combat was rleasing Ligos, a 5\* ranked monster in the Subjugation Round because even the NPC of Duels could not control him.

#### Combat Round Prelude Arc

Dacon stood by God of Combat's side as God of Combat slightly tampered with the Godcha odds which helped Dark draw Darkist Style Black Magic Secret Technique Book.
