Emperor of the Noah empire who rules over 10,000 monsters ─ the demon emperor Menace. Feared all over the world, one day he learns that he is the "*Last Boss of RPG (ResNoa)*". After he quit being a King of Noahic Empire, he plan to work to the shadow to maintained the peace of the kingdom and his dream being free and slow life. Menas Noah used his knowledge of the game and mastered it. He has a sharp eyes insight for observation will not overlook any sort of information and very understandable in every situation even a noticeable events that changes in the game.

 *Field effect** It is mainly involved in the battle and affects the status, formation, skills, etc. of all enemies and allies. There are various field effects such as [Indoor], [Night], [Tailwind], [Rain], [Bumpy], and [Waterlogged].
* For example, if the field is [indoor], there are effects such as ``partial formation cancellation, dark attribute ↑, evasion rate/escape probability ↓, spear/bow/earth attribute/wind attribute ↓''. If it's [water soak], it's like "water/thunder ↑, earth/fire ↓, speed ↓, lightning attack overall/hit ↑".
 *Evasion Rate System** It depends greatly on the speed difference with the opponent. There is an internal system called percentage avoidance, and it is possible to reduce the damage without completely avoiding it like "10% avoidance → 10% damage reduction". The amount of damage reduction is much greater than increasing defense, so increasing speed and increasing evasion rate will increase durability rather than wearing heavy armor.
 *Speed Supremacy** Speed ​​is the number one priority in Reginore. Speed ​​has a lot to do with not only the number of actions, but also evasion, hits, and critical hits, so increasing speed is the shortest way to increase durability and attack.
* Especially in the final stage, it is important how to accumulate speed buffs during battle. Heavy equipment characters are useful in the early stage, but unfavorable in the final stage.

Despite very overpowered character, Menos is very cautious in his action, but when it for the sake of his entertainment he will mendling the situation. It was used to suppress the power of the Demon God that resided within Noah. There is a limit to the number of 【Seal】 that can be placed, so it cannot normally be used, but in its Second form, the skill【Seal】 placed on itself will be broken, so it can also be used against enemies.
