Light Novel
Growth cheats? Infinite magic power? The ability to utilize all archetypes? What's the point if instant death ends everything with a single attack?

High school senior Yogiri Takatou was on a school field trip when he woke up to a dragon assaulting his sightseeing bus, with the only ones still on the bus being him and his female classmate, Tomochika Dannoura. Apparently the rest of his classmates had been given special powers by Sion, a woman who introduced herself as Sage, and escaped from the dragon, leaving those that hadn't received any special powers behind as dragon bait. And so Yogiri was thrown into a parallel universe full of danger, with no idea of what just happened. Likewise, Sion had no way of knowing just what kind of being she had summoned to her world.

Manga
After waking up to absolute chaos and carnage while on a school trip, Yogiri Takatou discovers that everyone in his class has been transported to another world! He had somehow managed to sleep through the entire ordeal himself, missing out on the Gift—powers bestowed upon the others by a mysterious Sage who appeared to transport them. Even worse, he and another classmate were ruthlessly abandoned by their friends, left as bait to distract a nearby dragon. Although not terribly bothered by the thought of dying, he reluctantly decides to protect his lone companion. After all, a lowly Level 1000 monster doesn't stand a chance against his secret power to invoke Instant Death with a single thought! If he can stay awake long enough to bother using it, that is...

Character

 * -|Yogiri Takatou=

"Even though I’ve come across tons of people who claim that they’ll absolutely never die, or that they’re already dead, or that the concept of death doesn’t apply to them, they all end up dead in the end."

- Yogiri after killing Maya

Yogiri Takatou / Taka tō Yogiri is the primary male protagonist of Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranai n desu ga (aka Instant Death).

He is a high school student who got transported to another world by a woman called Sion. After being abandoned by his classmates, Yogiri and his new friend Tomochika decides to explore the new world outside, hoping to find a new way back home.

Yogiri has been shown to possess a special and powerful ability that can instantly kill anything he desires with a single thought.He had somehow managed to sleep through the entire ordeal himself, missing out on the Gift—powers bestowed upon the others by a mysterious Sage who appeared to transport them. Even worse, he and another classmate were ruthlessly abandoned by their friends, left as bait to distract a nearby dragon.

Although not terribly bothered by the thought of dying, he reluctantly decides to protect his lone companion. After all, a lowly Level 1000 monster doesn't stand a chance against his secret power to invoke Instant Death with a single thought! If he can stay awake long enough to bother using it.

Despite his powerful ability, he is incapable of achieving the goal of returning home with it, and thus he makes his way through the new world in order to find a way back home. Through the story, however, we slowly learn of Yogiri's true nature. An eldritch horror-type being who, for unknown reasons, manifested himself as Yogiri back in the old world.

Appearance
Yogiri is a teenager of average height, with spiky beige hair, beige eyes, and a cute/handsome face (according to Tomochika, Mokomoko, and several male classmates). He doesn't seem very muscular, but is surprisingly athletic and agile when the situation calls for it.

Personality
Yogiri is a man who doesn't care much about his surroundings or people, as long as it doesn't involve him or his friends/allies. He likes to play video-games whenever he can, as well as to sleep a lot (he basically spent all his time in school sleeping).

Most of the time, he is shown to be quite a calm guy (even when in extremely dangerous situations), who considers most things nothing more than a bother. He is quite confident in his capabilities to kill anything, and though he once mentions that he wouldn't be much surprised if he found something that could survive his power, such a thing has never happened to this day.

He seems to like Tomochika in a way, but the specific details are still unknown.

Abilities
"I decide what "death" is."

- Yogiri Takatou

"『The motto of the Dannoura Style is that unfairness is first class! Showing off is weird anyway! Or something like that. When you fight, find the most cowardly methods and apply them without hesitation. Defeat enemies with unexpected actions. That’s how you’re taught. It’s absurd to do things like killing fairly, as nothing remains of you when you die.』"
 * -|Tomochika Dannoura=

- Mokomoko Dannoura Tomochika Dannoura is the deuteragonist of the Instant Death series and a high school student who along her classmates got transported to another world by a woman called Sion. After being abandonned by her classmates, she quickly befriends Yogiri and goes into an adventure with him into the new world outside, hoping to find a new way back to their original world.

Appearance
Tomochika is a beautiful girl of average height with a beautiful face, white skin, and light purple eyes. She has brown hair tied into twin tails using yellow ribbons. Has both large breasts and good curves at her waist.

Personality
Tomochika is a very emotional girl, and always complains or contests when Yogiri kills something he shouldn't or when he kills recklessly, except when he has a good reason for it in her point of view. She is very active, sometimes hot-blooded, has a good charisma, and her pessimism / optimism varies greatly depending on the situation.

Most of the time she avoids direct confrontation and prefers that Yogiri deals with the situation as long as it does not cause much controversy or problems for others or for themselves. Although she doesn't like fighting very much, Tomochika is a great martial artist due to her Dannoura lineage, and should know many martial arts styles.

She apparently has a crush on Yogiri, but she seems uncertain for now.

Abilities
Mokomoko’s Access to Information: Thanks to her status as a high ranking spirit she can access the world’s information layer, even being capable of seeing higher-order information layers that grants her the ability to know and completely understand about higher dimensional existences like The Heavenly Record Eater and the structure of the cosmology. Although she normally is capable of accessing the entire information of the world while on her original world, when she was transported along Tomochika to the world she lost access to all of it and can only access the basic layer of information.

Aggressor Material: A black honeycomb structured material obtained from the giant robot that Tomochika and Yogiri met. The material appears to be the same component that the robot used for its artificial muscles. It is capable of freely changing shape, color, and hardness.


 * Aggressor Material Shield: The aggressor material quickly unfolds into a dome that completely envelopes Tomochika and turns its sturdiness to the maximum setting.
 * Aggressor Material Battlesuit: The aggressor material wraps around Tomochika’s body and transforms into black clothes that neatly cling to her body like a leotard, covering even the fingertips without any gaps. It is mentioned to be capable of covering Tomochika’s head as well. In addition to providing protection, the suit also increases Tomochika’s speed and power.

 * colspan="2" |Abilities:
 * colspan="2" |Dannoura Style: The Dannoura style is a personal technique from the Heian era which seeks to maximize the use of weapons and hand to hand combat. It applies techniques which make use of the mentality, reflexes, the human body structure, and so forth of not only oneself but also the opponent, finding the most “cowardly” methods to win a fight and exploiting them without hesitation because such things as killing fairly are absurd as when you die nothing remains of you. Ever since its invention during the Heian era it has been refined and adapted into many branches which even include electronic warfare and continues to be an unceasingly evolving style that adapts to the opponent.

Hide/Show
 * Seal Release: Tomochika releases her spiritual seal which keeps her naturally offensive soul of a Dannoura from making her hyper-aggressive during combat. Once released she always strikes with the full intent of killing the opponent which defies the natural nature of people as the avoidance of murder is instinctual. Normally in melee combat, the sense of avoidance is at the maximum which inhibits normal people for going for the kill with every single move they do. It also numbs the natural reaction one has towards death.
 * Dannoura Anti-Air Technique: A technique Tomochika performs that consists of first getting a hold of the opponent's body by driving one hand into their windpipe and the other's fingers into their eye sockets, then jamming their head into the floor.
 * Dannoura Stance: Tomochika’s fighting stance form is specially developed to hide all of the vitals from the opponent.
 * Pseudo Ground Shrink: Tomochika uses a combination of multiple techniques that result in the effect of the ground between her and the opponent to shrink before the opponent can react to her movements. It should be noted that this is achieved through skill and not speed.
 * Other: There is a technique in the Dannoura style specifically designed to smash the “jewels” of a male.

Pseudo-ground contraction
"Even now, Tomochika was gradually reducing the distance between herself and her opponent. She was moving her feet slowly enough that it wouldn’t be discovered at a glance. Tomochika looked straight into her opponent’s eyes. She was measuring the timing. The thing Tomochika was trying to do was simple. Tomochika only moved when her opponent blinked. She threw the kodachi in her right hand only slightly above and made it stay in the air using momentum. She fell forward from exhaustion at the same time. She kicked the ground when her body was almost level with the floor, shortening the distance as if she was sliding. She then activated a reaction in his body by brushing the back of her opponent’s knee with her left hand. It would have fine if she tripped him up because of that, but her opponent stood firmly. Using that opportunity, Tomochika went around and cut into the opponent’s back. The rest was simple once she got to this point. There were many vital points on a person’s back she could reach even with her bare hands. The enemy had widened his crotch when his leg was brushed. Tomochika kicked the gap of his nether regions with all of her might.

“N?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri didn’t quite understand what happened. Once he realized it, Tomochika’s sword was laid on the ground, and her opponent was crouching down holding his nether regions. Tomochika was looking over all of that as she stood behind the man.

『It was a pseudo-ground contraction. Tomochika appeared to have vanished to the opponent.』(Mokomoko)

“I have heard about the name. But, ‘pseudo’?” (Yogiri)

『That is because there are many techniques that she used to disappear. As she matched the time the opponent blinked, she guided his eyes to the kodachi she set free. It is called ‘pseudo’ because she used a trick of moving into low posture. Those weren’t originally necessary. Although it’s regrettable that you aren’t a Dannoura, you could vanish before someone’s eyes for several seconds without tricks if you were an expert of the technique.』(Mokomoko)"
