Eric Vale

The main character of this work. His real name is Takuma Sakamoto. He boasted overwhelming strength in the MMORPG Cross Reverie, but when he noticed it, he was summoned to another world in his in-game appearance. He level is 150, but he begins to realize that he surpassed it in the middle of the story. I think I've reached my limit. He was an introvert who played the MMORPG *Cross Reverie* as his character Diablo. He also played a bit of *Sister Carnival* (*SisKani*) and a modern warfare FPS.

Takuma was a *Cross Reverie* player who controlled the character @Diablo-13, known as the true Demon Lord. He always defeated players with better equipment and overwhelming skills, always holding back for being too strong. But one day he was invoked into another world, appearing in the body of his character, Diablo, finding two girls, a Pantherian and an elf, who claimed to have summoned him and that he should be a slave to one of them, but due to his ring's ability, the magic has rebound back against them, becoming his slaves. Takuma has poor social skills, resulting in him speaking as his character to communicate; it comes off idiotic (to readers) since he doesn't grow out of this, despite the fact it causes more problems than necessary.

In the real world, he is a withdrawal who is absorbed in games, and has a so-called "*communication disorder*" personality that makes it difficult to converse with others, especially with the opposite sex. From now on, I'm surviving with a demon king role play. Perhaps because of his personality, he dislikes male and female couples, and especially when he witnesses them getting along, he reveals a tremendous amount of anger. Aside from his inner feelings, he hides himself by pretending to be a "demon king" and conversing with an arrogant tone, but due to his own habits, Shera and Rem are half aware of it.

In addition, the corner of the head is removable. Shera and Rem have become a husband and wife, and since he became the husband of the first princess, Shera, he has become the king of the Kingdom of Greenwood.

* As Diablo, he projects a haughty persona although his true personality sometimes slips.

### Abilities

> "*Both in-game and in real life, I've always played solo.*"
>
>
> ― **Diablo**
>

On Earth as a human, Takuma Sakamoto has no outstanding abilities except for being an expert at playing video games, especially *Cross Reverie*. He got his character Diablo to the counter-stop level of 150 as a Sorcerer, he has mastered all of the Elemental magics and had the Combiner sub-class. The arrangement of his stat distribution and skills, his job-class title is 《Sorcerer of Annihilation》. When he came to the other world and became his game character, he could use them as well and he could even adjust it to make an ice cup filled with water appear out of thin air. Also after coming to the other world, he might have picked up the chef sub-class and may have surpassed **level 150** as a Sorcerer.

He manipulates a large number of elemental magics that are not widely used in other worlds, and his level is overwhelmingly high, so half-baked attacks will not work. Since magic is reflected by the effect of the item equipped, it boasts no loss except once in the work.

He has been appraised by Emile Bichelberger as level 40 Warrior when they first fought & met. He decides to level up after facing the Fallen who infiltrated the Kingdom of Greenwood in *Volume 7*. In *Volume 8* he trains and ate Gold Fruit to level up to get the current Master Swordsman Graham, Graham Sasara, to teach him to reach pass the limits.

At the time of the game, he was only able to use magic, but after being defeated in a match with the Graham Sasara, he was keenly aware of the reality of this, and by increasing his level of swordsmanship with his own knowledge, there is one thing that can be raised. It broke the concept in the game that there is only one.

 **`SPELLS:`*** 《**Return**》: Magic that is the basic of the basics. It allows a person or party to return to the last town they had visited.
* 《**Ice**》: A low-level spell that conjures and manipulates ice.
* 《**Water**》: A low-level spell that conjures and manipulates water.
* 《**Light**》: A low-level Light Attribute spell. A ball of light that flies towards the ceiling (or open air), and once it hits (or reaches a certain height), it bursts and light spreads out in the room/immediate area. This is a magic spell created by Diablo in his spare time practicing magic as a counter-measure for night warfare. He can also imbue objects with it.
* 《**Fire**》: A low-level spell that conjures and manipulates fire.
* 《**Arm Scrap**》/《**Arm Break**》: A weapon destroying spell. It has no effect on equipment that was greater than Rare. This means that it is restricted to weapons that have not been bestowed with magic. It has no use in Player battles, but it does have an effect in drastically shaving off the offensive ability of monsters that possessed weapons.
* 《**Stardust**》: Level 30 Water Type spell. A weak magic. Its visual effects (sparkling hexagonal ice crystals fluttering about) is showy. When used by a magician with a short charge time, it is possible to fire it in rapid succession in the surrounding area around the opponent to use 《Stardust》's visual effects as a smokescreen.
* 《**Bit Arrow**》: A spell that conjures an arrow of light and shoots out toward the enemy. Its power is low and has a high hitting accuracy.
* 《**Explosion**》: Level 50 Fire spell; collecting the hydrogen within the atmosphere, it ignites that spot using magical power.
* 《**Flare Burst**》: A superior version of the 《Explosion》 spell. It can cause a rare Critical Hit and sometimes Fumble.
* 《**Air Shoot**》: A spell as if a squall had blown in. It separates the opponent to a distance away from the caster.
* 《**Lightning Bullet**》: A high-ranking Lightning spell. A bullet of Light that is shot at the opponent.
* 《**Dark Bullet**》: A high ranking Dark spell. A bullet of Darkness that is shot at the opponent.
* 《**Dark Press**》: A spell which produces a black sphere of Darkness that is thrown/tossed at the opponent. Manipulating gravity, it would flatten enemies that were in its effect range of 5 meters. It also has the special effect of putting the enemy in a Bind status for a while.
* 《**Dark Flare**》: A spell that conjures a black hellfire.
* 《**Dark Burst**》: A spell that causes a soundless explosion.
* 《**Black Lance**》: A spell that summons and launches a jet-black lance.
* 《**Darkness Rain**》: A spell that creates Darkness arrows that downpour like black rain on the opponent.
* 《**Aero Shredder**》: The highest grade Chemical Element Magic of the Wind attribute under level 100. The target of the spell is wrapped up in a green flash with a thunderous roar being raised as the target is cut into pieces.
* 《**Burst Rain**》: Level 70 ranged spell; A ball of fire appears in the sky and bursts open together with a thunderous roar. Clumps of flame that were about the size of fists will rain incessantly on the spots the caster aimed at.
* 《**Super Mine**》: Level 80 Earth attribute planting-type spell; It is a trap that would break out from the aimed at the ground, and bestow damage on the opponent that passed by above it. The damage it gave was small but with its characteristics being the time until it activates being fast, it was a magic meant to bring down monsters and Warriors that were filling in the distance.
* 《**Freezia**》: Level 80 Water spell; putting a brake on the molecule's motion with magic, it makes them freeze. A magic that would freeze the target's range.
* 《**Volcanic Wall**》: Level 80 Fire and Earth spell; Flames were made to spout out from the ground like an eruption and make a flame wall.
* 《**Freeze Zone**》: Level 90 Ice spell; it would freeze a small targeted range. It would also bestow the speed reducing bad status 《Cold》.
* 《**Heaven's Fall**》: Level 100 Earth spell; it gives damage over a vast range by making countless meteorites appear. By determining the aim with an FPS point of view, the meteorites could be guided to a certain degree, and it was possible to increase the power in exchange for narrowing the range. Hard to use against small opponents, but extremely effective against gigantic monsters and large groups of opponents.
* 《**Cross Blizzard**》: Level 110 Wind and Water/Ice spell; Two tornadoes springs forth. All that touched them were frozen over, and on top of that, they were smashed to pieces due to the winds.
* 《**Matoi Izuna**》: A Wind and Light spell; by cladding a kamaitachi in lightning and firing that at the opponent, it would tear the opponent apart from the inside. While it would continue to bestow slip damage to the opponent for a fixed amount of time and paralyze them, it had the effect of bestowing large damage at the end. The "large damage" is a pure white explosion caused by a pillar of light that engulfs the opponent.
* 《**Hercules Lance**》: A level 120 Light Attribute spell. Creates a 5m spear of light.
* 《**Naraku**》: Level 130 Darkness spell; The effective range was touch--meaning it would only happen to the opponent it was touching. A magic spell that creates a minuscule black hole that forcibly imprisons the enemy in an airspace of darkness. The power is high and the effect is tremendous with only a 5% chance/probability it will Fumble and fail.
* 《**White Nova**》: Level 150 Fire and Light spell; The strongest magic spell that Diablo can use. On the tip of his staff, a pure white fireball about the size of a ping-pong ball is produced. The fireball then falls to the ground at a lax speed. The instant the fireball touches the ground, it will split open in a pure white flash with a thunderous roar--a disintegrating annihilation due to magic power should be repeatedly happening in the effect range of the attack. The effect range is a semi-circle that went about twenty-something meters forward from the caster's feet. Its power is tremendous enough to defeat a high-level monster in one hit. However, the weakness of such a powerful spell is the huge MP consumption along with how it took time until the spell is invoked (Diablo needed thirty-something seconds until the spell was invoked).
* 《**Apocalypse Abyss**》: A 《Forbidden Spell》. It established magical power points in thirteen spots and was something close to a 《Formation-type Magic》. Its power was high but with a long prep time which only makes it useful against an opponent that moves in a limited space. Within the set range, pillars of light rise up from the thirteen magical power points. The four classical chemical elements raged about and physical objects changed into dust entirely. Lightning ran around, magma blew about, and things that were frozen burst in an instant. A current of magical power was swirling about.  The four classical chemical elements that were spouting out became a tornado tinged with lightning and rose to the heavens swallowing up the area in the set range and causing immense damage. This magic possesses the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. Against a being of the Darkness attribute, it has an extremely high effect.
* 《 **Flight Magic**》/《**Adzet**》: A magic which makes objects float. The caster can control how high, which direction and speed of the object. It has a limited effect time.
* 《**Gravity Abyss**》 A multiplex magic.
	+ 《**Dark Arc Seek**》: A maximum magic that makes a bow arc with limbs made of darkness.
	+ 《**Black Hole Arrow**》: A maximum magic that makes a black hole sphere.
* 《**Air Block**》: Creates an invisible barrier harder than concrete in the air.
* 《**Lightning Sphere**》: A three-meter sphere covered in purple lightning that slowly moves forward.
* 《**Absolute Zero**》: One of the Water Attribute's strongest magic. Any and all kinetic energy is completely and eternally lost. The target was limited to one person, and the spell won’t activate unless done at zero distance.
* 《**Darkness Cannon**》: A high ranking Darkness Attribute magic. It fires a jet black cannonball of condensed magical power.
* 《**Grand Tornado**》: A maximum magic. Makes a tornado.
* 《**Earth Bounce**》: An Earth Attribute magic. Creates an earth tremor. It does not affect whatever is within a 3-meter radius of the caster.
* 《**Virus Cloud**》: Poison magic. A level 110 Darkness and Wind Attribute magic. It makes a black cloud of poison and spreads it forward.
* 《**Lightning Arrow**》: A Light Attribute magic. The superior version of 《Bit Arrow》.
* 《**Glakius Cannon**》: It was magic that fired a clump of ice. However, the ice that was generated through Diablo’s powerful magical power was a gigantic lump of ice that was bigger than a single adult.
* 《**Sonic Boom**》
* 《**Thunder Axe**》

* 《**Chain Lightning**》
* 《**Rock Cannon**》: A level 130 Earth Attribute magic.
