A rather well-known hero famed for his tremendous strength. His name, Diamond Destroyer, stemmed from how he was able to crush diamonds with his bare hands. If not for his low agility, Jerome could've been ranked in the top 300.

Organisations

Currently, there are three (3) known organizations (from our perspective).

##### Union

After the first cataclysm, the strongest of humanity came together and formed an organization with the aim of protecting humanity, or, at least, what is left of it. Creating the system of "heroes" and "villains", the union aims to develop and train future "heroes" that'll fight against the demons that have invaded Earth. Although it mainly controls Ashton City, it still has quite an influence in the rest of the cities within human domain. They also created a new form of currency, U.

##### Monolith

An organization of "contractees" or simply, "villains". This organization was built by "villains" to rival the strength of the Union and to spread the influence of demons among humans.

### Dwarves

##### Inferno

This organization is the Dwarf equivalent of the Monolith, where dwarves that have contracted with demons, known as duergars, try and spread the influence of demons among dwarves.

If you have more info, feel free to edit.
Monolith

**Monolith** is a hidden organization that houses the strongest and most powerful Villains in the human domain. Also known as the 'Anti-Union', it is the Union equivalent for villains.

Unlike the Union where there were seven heads, the Monolith operated differently. They had one leader, one vice-leaders, and four elders, each ranked based on individual strength and following.

**Members**

1.Malik Alshayatin (Villain Ranking 1)

2.Mo Jinhao￼(Villain Ranking 2)
Matthew Bartley

## Appearance

He appeared to be in his late teens or so. His face was handsome with a pair of unusually bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through one's heart. The first impression that this youth gave was that he was a refined individual with a bright head on his shoulders. If this youth held a book in his hand, he would likely appear no different from a scholar.

## History

He was ‘best friends’ with Ren in middle school. Had an abusive father, Bernard Bartley*C- Ranker* who is the Guild master of a gold-graded Guild. His father forced him to behave like a noble from his early childhood. Matthew hated his father for leading his mother into suicide

He later makes a contract with a Demon, Viscount Avelon, and put Ren’s parents under a Mindbreaker Curse. He blackmails Ren to do his bidding by taking his parents as hostages.

Later he signs a contract with Everblood after killing his own father and joins the Monolith. Competes in the Monolith’s arena. It is said that the bloodlust around him was three times thicker compared to the other youths.

 Eventually, Ren kills him while escaping from the Monolith. During his death, he deeply start to regret his decisions due to the demon contract being lifted, and leading to him receiving part of his sanity back. During it, he narrates to Ren of the truth of his mother's suicide having been orchestrated from the very first demon he contracted.

He managed to steal the coffin of the cursed night from Angelica, an ancient demon artifact that she was granted due to her meritorious deeds. It had the miraculous effect of granting fast recovery as well as increase training speed. It was an almost god-like item that every demon below Viscount-rank would drool over.

Heroes

**Heroes** are mostly the strongest humans that are affiliated to the Union, as opposed to Villains.

Currently, there only exist 15 SS rank Heroes in the human domain, and out of all of them, 7 are part of the Union, making the Union the main powerhouse in the human domain. Each head of the Union is a single-digit ranker in the Hero ranking.

Despite the fact that society labeled individuals that wielded power as heroes, they were nothing of the sort. In this world, 'Hero' was merely a label that the government had stuck on individuals that wielded power to give hope to society, a **symbol**. They were beings meant to be idolized and worshiped, as they were responsible for protecting humanity from the likes of demons and villains.

Sadly, reality proved to differ as in this corrupt world most heroes were a bunch of hypocrites that were no better than villains. They valued human life as nothing more than a fleeting thing that could be crushed by their own will and power.

## Hero System

The Hero system is a system created by the central government and ranks an individual based on their achievements and strength.

This was a system that was created with the purpose of motivating individuals to become stronger, as not only does this bring glory to their name, but appropriate monetary compensation was given every year to top-ranking Heroes.

Amon Slabaugh

**Amon Slabaugh** is one of the Seven Union Heads.

## Overview

Aliased **The Unbreakable Shield** because he could stop the attacks coming from multiple SS ranked heroes at the same time without dying.

He is a walking fortress. Unfortunately, despite his great defense, he lacked in the offensive department, though his personality was that of someone who wanted to destroy things.
Liam Nefeli

Liam Nefeli is a former student at Lock and a current member of the Caïssa mercenary group. He is based and redpilled.

## Appearance

Liam has semi-long black hair that reaches until his shoulders. He has unique yellow eyes that glow when using his his skill/ability.

## Personality

Liam Nefeli has memory problems due to the martial manual he practices. He often doesn't remember most things even if they were somewhat important events for him. An example of this is how he forgets Gilbert's name even though he had a rivalry with him. The only exception to this is when he meets strong opponents as seen when he remembered Ren's name due to his loss against him. His memory starts getting better after Ren treats him.

Liam is also a battle-junkie that attacks anyone within his line of sight. An example of this is how he attacked the Caissa mercenary group for no reason and when he confronted multiple demon's head on when they were attacking one of the Lock's busses. He detests weak opponents as they bore him and he constantly looks for stronger opponents to entertain him. When he is not fighting he spends his time sleeping.

## Abilities

Liam practices Ivorian style which is the reason for his memory loss and also causes his eyes to shine brighter.

He appears to be extremely strong and his talent rivals even that of Kevin's. The martial manual he practices allows him to see the direction and density of mana in the air and in people and it makes so that nothing escapes from his eyes. He is also quick to react and has incredible speed which allows him to block attacks from Ren while the latter was using the Keiki style. His martial manual also allows him to copy other martial manuals by analyzing the circulation of mana used when performing said manual. This allows him to copy the Keiki style from Ren during his fight with him. The drawback of this martial manual is that he will eventually forget the manuals and skills he copied due to the corruption of his memory.

# Trivia

* He often gets lost due to his memory problems.

Jin had what Troy didn't. Money, influence, power, and most of all a loving family.

In the novel Troy became consumed by his jealousy and hatred towards Jin and and was tempted by Professor Thibaut into forming a contract with a demon of Envy. Because of Troy's immense talent, the 'envy' clan directly approached him instead of contacting him through a clan sub-branch.

However Jin had mature a lot after Ren destroyed his pride. Furthermore Ren killed professor Thibault not long after.

Han Yufei

## Overview

Han Yufei is currently the sole heir of the Han Clan, one of the main ancient Chinese clans that resided in Xin Shijie, the Chinese main city in the human domain.

His martial arts are on another level. He was probably the only person in the academy that did not use any weapons when fighting, a 'full body martial artist'. He practices a five-star martial manual, that was passed to him by the patriarch of the clan. He also has a four star and half manual given by his family.

## Appearance

He has short black hair that was permed in a way that looked like he had a mop on his head. His body was on the relatively skinnier side, and he wore round glasses.

## Personality

Being the sole heir he shouldered the heavy expectations of his clan ever since he was little. He had become so used of that, that he had now started to firmly believe in those values. However, just as much as he believed in them, there were times when he really wanted to give up.

Because he is the heir of one of the main clan he is familiar with conflicts. And because he was familiar with these kinds of stuff that he was also familiar with negotiations.

In Lock he didn't seem care about other people's ranking, as most of the people he hung out with were lower ranked than him, some even by a margin that was as large as Ren who was ranked last.

## Trivia

* He was ranked 5 at Lock.
* Despite having combat talents on the same level as the protagonists, he didn't get that much character development in The Luminescent Swordman. He only showed up on rare occasions, and those times were when he was either in the academy or when Kevin needed his help.

A **mercenary corps** is a group composed of talented unaffiliated individuals who do tasks for money. Be it killing certain monsters, villains, or corrupt individuals. They were the ones you would call. Mercenary groups were just as popular as guilds, with some being just as influential as some of the top guilds in the human domain.

There were two requirements to set up a mercenary corp:

* Have at least one individual with a Hero certification
* Get a recommendation from a graded guild

Mercenary corps are ranked. They went from one [I] to five, with five [v] being the best.

Dromeda city

**Dromeda city** safeguards the western area which was right at the edge of the demon territory and the elven territory. Fortunately, the elves, unlike the orcs, are not a war-oriented race, hence the only source of worry were the demons. But even if the elves don't participate in the war, the demon's fearsome strength was leaving Dromeda on their wit's end. Thought, the demons were forced to split their forces to protect themselves from potential ambushes from the elves, easing the burden they face when fighting against the demons.

Dwarves

**Dwarves** is one of the refugee races that came to Earth to take shelter after their worlds were conquered by Demons.

Their race are part of Fantasia with the Elves and Orcs.

It is a race that has more intelligence and a much more advanced technology than humans. They are also known for their great craftsmanship.

Dwarves themselves are quite weak in combat, their short statures being perfect evidence of it. However they compensate this by the power of their artifacts. Without their artifacts dwarves are said to be as weak as G ranked humans.

As Wayland said they are very tricky opponents. Possessing an arsenal packed with a multitude of different artifacts, their attack pattern is almost unpredictable. Most of their artifacts are bounded ones that can only be use by their owner and permanently linked to their bodies.

Although humans could also use artifacts, dwarves are able to utilize them to the very extreme, drawing out latent all their potential. Because of their highly developed brains, unlike other races, they could use a lot of artifacts at the same time. Typically, it took a lot of concentration to use just one artifact. Controlling an artifact required the user to manipulate their mana in complex patterns to activate it. The sheer sophistication of some dwarven artifacts could fry a human's brain. These limitations didn't apply to dwarves who could use multiple artifacts at the same time. They are literally big-brain people.

Villains

**Villains** are humans who sign a pact with a demon when their desire overcome their rationality. Most of them are affiliated to the Monolith.

For example, if you found yourself in despair towards a person who was far more talented than you, an emotion called 'Jelousy' would begin sprouting inside of you. Or when you see a really beautiful girl you want to make yours, what you experience is both 'greed and lust'. Once you experience such emotion, it either subsides over a period of time or becomes stronger as the distance between you and the said 'target' increases. And in this case, as your desire/negative emotion increases, the demon clan that is most compatible with you makes their appearance in the form of an agent and tempts you into making a deal with you in exchange for power.

Jealousy (Envy), Hatred (Wrath), Possessiveness (Greed), Obsession (Lust), all negative emotions fall into the 7 heavenly sins.

Once a person experiences such emotions and lets it takes over their rationality, only then will the demon tribe with the respective compatibility step in and present you with a deal.

Villains undergo several genetic modifications when making a pact with a demon. This phenomenon occurred due to the fact that the human body cannot fully adapt to the power given to them by the demons. Because of how dense the energy coming from the demons was, the weaker villain's bodies tended to undergo drastic changes in order to withstand the newly found power that entered their body.

Due to these drastic changes, a simple retina, fingerprint, and gene test could verify if one was a villain or not. But that only worked on weak Villains. For stronger villains, this sort of test was useless as their bodies could contain the power given to them by the devils they made a pact with.

Orb of identification

The **orb of identification** is a special artifact that measured someone's rank.

It is created through the usage of an old dried-up monster core and essentially measured someone's rank through the flow of mana.

Depending on rank, the orb will shine different colors :

* G : Blue
* F : Yellow
* E : Green
* D : Red
* C : Pink

Those were the respective colors that represented a person's rank. Anything above <C> rank required a different measuring tool, as the orb of identification was merely a tool that measured an approximate rank of a person. It wasn't actually very accurate.
