An orphaned third-level apprentice from a post-Disaster Era city on Jack's plane who, dying in his graduation trial, accepts a "System" that rebuilds and enhances his body in exchange for energy.12 Betrayed by his childhood friend Sia and the northern district's elders, he kills them all and becomes Jie Ming's formal disciple, studying at Anvil Base and then Noren Academy No. 147.15172227 A combat-discipline talent greater than Jie Ming's, he becomes the first wizard test subject for Leap Power and is sent to conquer a plane alone as his sixth-level trial.293132 He conquers it in nearly six hundred years to become a sixth-level combat wizard, then goes to the front, where a ruin he smashes on a dead plane leaves him haunted by an unseen entity until Jie Ming frees him.35373840
Relationships¶
- Parents: Killed by a mutant beast that smashed through their shelter; their legacy is a hemp-cord necklace with a thumb-sized black metal block.1
- Sia: Childhood friend, revived at the cost of his life force; she drugs him for the elders and he kills her with a palm through the chest.121517
- Gavin: First friend in this world and the other "Twin Star"; revealed as the vessel of a Holy Spirit; Jack buries the remains.121522
- Jie Ming: Teacher; offers discipleship after the betrayal and formalizes it with a wizard's salute; once offered to make Jack World Lord of his home plane; gives him a Substitute Death Doll before the front and later frees him of the haunting entity.1622293740
- Viola and Clark: Senior Aunt and Grand-Mentor.22
- Carl: Shields him in the forbidden zone and spends five years with him gathering the plane's surviving humans.2324
- Black-robed figure: Soaked figure that haunts him after he smashes a dead plane's ruin; no one else can see or detect it, and its bladed hand nearly touches him.3839
Background¶
An orphan whose relatives fought over the inheritance, haunted by a recurring nightmare of the day his parents died, in which the black metal block went unscratched by the beast's fangs.115 He knows the forbidden zone as a region the military never dared enter because its strange beasts are evolved to an extreme.23 Slow in logistics research, he carries a combat talent greater than Jie Ming's.29 Jie Ming borrows his catchphrase "Inshane", and his computational ability is very poor.3336
Abilities¶
| Ability | Acquired | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wizard level | Ch9021 | Third-level apprentice at the trial; body remodeled to the standard wizard-world constitution and able to practice a meditation method; fifth-level wizard by the Leap Power tests; sixth-level combat wizard after conquering his assigned plane in nearly six hundred years.1273035 |
| The System | Ch9032 | Accepts any high-density energy through a drawn array; can drain his life force to revive another; simplified charging mode after the black figure's death; its medium is bound to his knife hilt.241011 |
| Body enhancement | Ch9065 | Strength, senses, speed, body control and dark sight; keeps working as long as he eats; dissolves transcendents' cold forces like ice in a furnace; sixth stage at twenty, eighth after the passage battle.578101314 |
| Enhanced knife and armor | Ch9098 | The System-enhanced knife deflects a bullet; System-enhanced armor saves him from a stone spike through the chest.814 |
| Extraordinary ability | Ch91412 | Awakened after months in the military: reading 9.6, life force 18 while holding back.12 |
| Spiritual perception | Ch91715 | Sharp enough to tell the Holy Spirit in Gavin is not human; senses invisible insect-men without extending mental energy.1520 |
| Return to Ruins Armor | Ch93825 | Shudders violently in its compressed space in the deepest laboratory, sending him back.25 |
| Spatial transfer | Ch100839 | His escape spell; the black-robed figure interferes with his spatial perception.39 |
