Current Status: Glazing with aura
Current Role: Rogue tactician, Fatebreaker, Master of the Tome of Wisdom

Hafiz is a tall, lean young man with an elegant yet intimidating aura. His signature black middle-parted hair falls just below his cheekbones, framing a face that is at once stoic and strangely charismatic. He usually wears a long, black hooded cloak with metal-lined hems — a relic from his family's fallen estate. His gloves are forged of cold steel. His expression rarely changes — a smirk, a cold stare, or a cryptic glance — all equally disarming.

When his hood is off and he stands still, it's as if the world dims slightly around him.

Hafiz is the very embodiment of composed intellect. He speaks with deliberate calm, often cryptic, as though he’s seen the ending of every story but chooses to stay silent. While he rarely shows anger, his presence alone demands attention.

He is not cruel, but distant. His sense of humor is dry, razor-sharp, and often unnerving. Despite his cold exterior, those who know him — especially Fariel — understand he carries unbearable burdens alone, out of choice.

He is the type of person who would rather burn himself than let anyone else freeze.

Tome of Wisdom: A legendary grimoire that allowed Hafiz to see fragmented visions of the future. With it, he set countless traps, predicted outcomes, and walked through battlefields untouched.

Steel Guillotine: An advanced martial art style blending swordless combat with trap manipulation and redirecting force. He can disarm, paralyze, or even kill with a single motion.

Anomalous Resistance: Immune to Cursebrand-based abilities, including Velvet’s Wrath and Batenkaitos’s Name-Eating.

Guerilla Genius: Possesses absurd tactical prowess. Can manipulate armies using misinformation, misdirection, terrain, and psychological warfare alone.

He is one of the Dorm 9 member.

He re-emerges in Chapter 6 of the story, saving Adam and Fariel from a deadly fate. In Chapter 8, he crushes Gluttony with ease, delivers a chilling warning, and disappears again — hunted by forces greater than the Thorned Choir.

Full Name: Fariel
Alias(es): Sekak Sekung (teased), The Glimmer Knight, Immortal Mockery
Age: 18

Gender: Male
Race: Human
Affiliation: Dorm 9 (former), Muse HQ (support role)
Status: Dumb, funny

Fariel has brunette hair tied back in a practical ponytail, often messy and windswept. His eyes are brown, clear and expressive, often brimming with awkward confidence or cheeky mischief. Though lean and not physically imposing, he wears a white t-shirt underneath a long brown coat. He uses a white rapier.

His gait is relaxed. His smile is lopsided. His enemies underestimate him—and often regret it.

Fariel is the “weakest knight,” laughed at by peers, mocked as Sekak Sekung (a play on his father’s nickname) By Dorm 9 members, but inwardly resilient beyond belief. He talks a big game but is humble in action. He’s often the voice of hope in dark times, the tether that keeps the party sane when things fall apart.

He hides his insecurities with bravado. Loves teasing his friends, especially Hafiz, and worships him like a brother-mentor combo.

Shield Breaker Style: A defense-focused fighting style using precision parries and momentum redirection. Not flashy but extremely effective in one-on-one duels.

Aura of Sincerity: His presence boosts the morale of allies, suppressing fear and calming Cursebrand-induced madness. Unintentional but potent.

Hafiz’s Blessing: As an anomaly, he resists some Cursebrand effects and remains one of the few who can speak freely with Hafiz.

Once the weakest member of Dorm 9, Fariel endured relentless bullying—until Hafiz stood up for him. They became inseparable

Full Name: Adam
Alias(es): The Reckless Blade, Dog of the King’s Road, That Idiot With a Sword
Age: 18

Gender: Male

Race: Human
Affiliation: B Ranked Adventurer
Status: Lion-hearted man

Adam is a well-built youth with spiky dark brown hair, dark brown well-kept moustache and sharp eyes, usually glowing with either idiotic confidence or murderous intensity. He wears reinforced leather armor, worn from constant battle, with a scarf that belonged to a lost friend.

His Odachi — a two-handed, jagged-edged beast of a weapon — is almost too long for him, yet he wields it like a feather.

Scars cover his back and hands. Most are self-inflicted from reckless training.

Adam is fire incarnate. Brash, impulsive, loud, and incredibly passionate. He throws himself into battles before thinking, grits through pain without flinching, and smiles even after being knocked down.

He’s the type of guy who wins not because he’s the strongest — but because he refuses to stay dead.

He loves his friends fiercely, especially Fariel, whom he sees as his “little knight brother,” and he deeply admires Hafiz, even if he doesn’t always understand him.

But beneath the jokes and shouts, Adam is haunted. He remembers every failure, every loss, and carries the weight in silence.

Adaptive Combat Instinct: Learns mid-battle. Gets stronger the longer a fight goes, often discovering counters to seemingly impossible abilities.

Berserker Surge: When pushed to the brink, Adam’s strength spikes dramatically. The price: all injuries sustained become worse afterward.

Bond of Blood: In a fight, if someone he cares about is hurt, his damage resistance triples for one minute.

Adam woke up in a strange world with nothing but his name in unfamilliar world with all other Dorm 9 members. Since then, he’s fought, bled, and survived — not because he was chosen, but because he refused to be left behind.
