But the new person controlling Ed’s body is nothing but a paragon of bravery, leading by example, and slowly shifting the events of the game into the best possible ending direction.

Despite knowing he could be killed in any of the Academy Survival Arcs, he keeps going forward, and instead of manipulating the threads to seek his immediate benefit, he thinks of the greater good. He has grown fond of every character in the Academy, and he no longer sees them as pawns in a game of chess. Even when facing the most adverse of odds, Ed is relentless, not even the most powerful mages can make him cower, nor the idea of dying, since he is always two steps ahead of his enemies.

Eden is calculating, and protective of his secret. His faith is a lie, and the only person who knows about this is the Saintess. Despite this, Eden moves forward with his plans, sweeping everything in his path to prevent the apocalypse that is going to destroy the world. Demons, agents of evil, monsters, nothing can make him feel fear. He can make a couple of bad decisions once in a while, but he accepts the outcome with stoicism and bravery.

As Saint Ray, he had absolutely no fear for the Church, nor the Goddess who summoned him and granted his powers. He kept accomplishing his goals despite having to become a reformist, facing the wrath of Bishops, Popes, Nobility, and Kings.

The problem is, that many of the folks took advantage of his seemingly cool and collected nature, and decided it was time to mess around with him: big mistake.

Jake can be as ruthless as some of the worst beings in this Isekai Manhwa: he is not trapped inside the Tutorial with some monsters and psychos, they are trapped there with him. As the perfect playground to test his survivalist and hunting skills, Jake thrives and survives against all odds. He is gutsy, fast, and deadly. The bravest hunter the Gods have ever seen.

Returning to Earth once he vanquished the Demon Lord, he became The Spear Hero, the only being capable of opposing the rampaging Hero who wanted to paint Earth with the blood of all its living beings.

Jeongsu Park sees the world on a scale of gray and red: nothing else matters but taking revenge on the person who killed his beloved family.

So, with courage and decision, he abandoned his peaceful life to jump onto the battlefield once more.
