Kim Hanbyul is one of the five people who was first summoned to Hall Plain alongside Kim Soohyun. She initially joined the Golden Lion clan but later joins the Mercenary clan after she had encountered Soohyun during his time as an instructor at the player academy.

## **Background**

During her time on Earth Kim Hanbyul was a college student of Yonsei University before the events of the main story.

## Personality

When first summoned to the Rite of Summoning Kim Hanbyul was a rather observant character and had always remained rational. She had always prioritised her own survival above all else, however despite this, she had shown distain to people who commited "evil" acts and often avoided resorting to such methods.

Throughout the early stages of the story Hanbyul had issues with trusting people as shown in multiple instance with other characters, but she had admitted later on it was due to her fear of being in a new world.

After joining the Golden Lion clan and now realising the corrupted nature of the clan as well as the warning Kim Soohyun had told him about the clan's fate, she had slowly began to lose her radiating confidence and was merely a shell of her former self and being docile to her surroundings. Constantly being filled of thought about Kim Soohyun and her immense regret of not following him often clouded her mind.

Even after leaving the Golden Lion clan and now joining the Mercenary clan she did not regain her former self. Now having a fractured relationship with Ahn Hyun, Ahn Sol and Yi Yojung due to them feeling that she had "abandoned" Soohyun for the Golden Lion clan. However she slowly regained herself over the course of the story and became confident in herself once more.

After joining the clan, she becomes diligent in her duties frequently training and remaining as focused as possible when on a mission. Slowly, over time she reconnects with the original three and mend their past.

Throughout the series Hanbyul had struggled to understand her feelings for Kim Soohyun whether it was simply admiration or feelings of love. However, she had come to the realisation during the steel mountain expedition and had revealed her love for him and had waited for his answer. Although, their relationship had immediately been halted as they had never made much progress due to problems constantly arising until she finally made the first move.

## Powers and Abilities

During her time in the Rite of Summoning Hanbyul had come across a gem that held the secret class Jewel Mage. Not knowing what it was she held onto the gem hoping to find some answers about it until she realised what it was and had used it midway through her academy life.

Hanybul's class, Jewel Mage, allows for the user to cast spells with the use of a jewel. By using a jewel she is able to strengthen a spell many times over and even strengthen the spells of her allies as well. However, each spell she casts will consume the entire jewel without exceptions. This has led to an extreme reliance on jewels for combat to the extent that small clans would struggle to finance her jewel usage.

As a student in the player academy, Hanbyul was one of the tops students, enough to impress the top clan in the Northern Continent, the Golden Lion, to recruit her.

Through vigorous training Kim Hanbyul has trained her physical abilities to the point that she is much better when compared to other mages. Capable of marching for hours without break and even crossing mountains no matter the terrain or environment.

Hanbyul alongside the majority of the Mercenary clan members is able to spread their mana out constantly to sense their surroundings. Covering a range so large, it removed the need for an archer to scout the environment causing many other top players to be surprised.
