Nevertheless, although Ssosia did this initially to control him, Han Soo never changed his ways and only admitted to having feelings for her implanted, instead he gained limited control over Ssosia thanks to the curse and kept using violence and humiliating her as seen fit.

At first, the couple started in a forced relationship and kept badmouthing each other constantly. However, as they spent time together and collaborating in order to escape from the shackles of Parmael and the Teaching Staff, they started to see the good sides of the other.

Although he initially treated her only as a servant or a convenient lover in his pocket, other people like Ssosia or Trainee Teacher observed how he seems to be more caring and attentive with her, making even Ssosia question if she was the N°1 in his heart. However, he evaded this fact only referring to Hippolia as a great help in his playthroughs and a first-class beauty.

Nevertheless, his initial impression changed after a failed attempt from Caesar to seduce him during their journey which resulted in her attacking him after panicking having shown him her naked body. From that point onwards Han Soo started to consider her a crazy and unstable bitch, an impression which lasted for decades for the hero. Their relationship kept deteriorating until the protagonist killed her before his battle with Pedonar, in part of the resentment for his good-for-nothing "comrades" and because he had misunderstood while eavesdropping on a conversation and interpreted it as a plot to kill him.

The two met again during the Rebirth Arc when she goes to aid the reincarnated protagonist and her fantasian mother. She remained by his side while he ended the northern war and unified the northern continent.

## **Allies & Friends**

### Piko

Piko is the high school friend and fellow graduate hero of Kang Han Soo, they were part of the same group of friends before the latter was abducted to Fantasia and shared many hobbies like manga, manhwa, videogames, and others.

Although is unknown how well or bad was their relationship before, after meeting him again after ten years Han Soo thought of him in a nutshell for his attitude as a thoughtless horndog which gets further worsened by the arrogance that both friends developed during their time in Fantasia and the competitive nature of Piko, which is exemplified as how Han Soo doesn't get altered by how Piko get killed by Ice Princess for shouting her ruthless words, still that could have been in part because he knew that his former classmate would only restart his adventure anew.

## **Hero's Party**

### Lanuvel

Although supposed to be his guide and comrade, Han Soo thinks of Lanuvel as a nuisance for her adventure-loving tendencies that go against his pragmatic and many times dirty way of making things. He also is one of the few, if not the only one, that has been able to see through Lanuvel's acting and discover that the "guide" is not interested in helping the heroes to return home or get back to their worlds faster, but in her own desires to live interesting adventures along the Hero Party even if that put them in danger or make more difficult achieve the heroes goals. This is the reason why he thought of the cute archeologist as an obstacle to kick away and doesn't feel any guilt about using her, seeing her dying, or even being the one to cut short her life.

Although his relationship with Lanuvel is shown as bad since the 2nd playthrough, Han Soo still has some gratitude for some of her actions as the support of the party during his first years in Fantasia, nevertheless as the playthrough keep going their relationship only gets worse and Han Soo's suspicion about Lanuvel's true role in Fantasia keep growing, until they finally became enemies. Surprisingly, there was a time when Han Soo trusted Lanuvel, during the harsh times of his 1st playthrough, to the point that the young boy even fell for her beauty and kindness. However, these feelings only lasted a few months, as the protagonist realized Lanuvel's true intentions and those times became a dark past for him.

### Alex

Alex is Han Soo's sword master and "comrade" during his first playthrough and one of the people that the protagonist hates the most and is happy to humiliate or even kill if given the chance. Their bad relationship originates from Alex's brutal training that he received during the times when he still was a normal teenager, in which the knight almost killed him many times and left him traumatized and fearful for many months. Eventually, Han Soo came to overcome his fears and stood equal against Alex, nevertheless, it take him more than three years to surpass the hidden fear he felt for Alex until he became able to crush him easily. He has killed Alex many times during his multiple playthroughs in the first half of the series, the first when he sneak back before the final battle against Pedonar and finished a moribund Alex that tied against a Demon General.

Following the changes in the world after the Rewrite Saga events, and the change in the personalities and backstories of many citizens of Fantasia, he and Alex's relationship became less hostile, to the point in which Han Soo could consider him an ally and a strong asset to count on. Although he truly hated the original Alex, Han Soo still recognized him as his master and respected his strength to the point that when he meet the Alex of the Rebirth World he refused to acknowledge him as the real Alex, since he could not believe that after 9 years of the arrival of the Hero that Alex had only one SSS skill.

## Others

### Dumpling King

### Imperial Princess

During his first playthrough, Han Soo saved the fugitive princess and help her to regain control over her Holy Empire. Nevertheless, he ended up lamenting this since she became a paranoic, ruthless, and bloody monarch, and the hero, as the one who was elevated to the throne, was largely cursed for her actions. For this reason, when he meets her as a casualty in his second playthrough, he killed her in order to prevent the history to repeat and as a way to repair his past error.
