Character
"I am not omnipotent. I already knew that. But the realization that I couldn't save everyone was very painful. To abate the grief at the very least, I made a vow to the fallen that I would work very hard."

- Luciel vow himself

He is a young healer, and he used to be an office worker in another world (Earth), but he was involved in a shooting incident and lost his life. At the time of his reincarnation, he was allowed to choose his talents after reincarnation in a way similar to the character creation system of the game, and he obtained the talent of holy magic necessary for good luck and being a healer.

Many considered him to be uneducated when he was first resurrected because he had no idea about the common sense of this world. Nevertheless, after formally registering as a healer at the Healer's Guild, he completed rigorous training that made others wary of him. Luciel is devoted to healing people, even after he moves to the Adventurer's Guild, where he is trained under the direction of the adept adventurer, Brod. Under the direction of the adept adventurer, Brod, he practiced training that even adventurers would be hesitant to do, such as running through the streets and eating a lot of foo overlapping.

Luciel is a kind-hearted person who lacks prejudices against beastmen since he is not constrained by common sense. The common sense of this world, on the other hand, which has various perspectives on life and death, frequently confounds him.

Abilities
One day, Earth's God of Destiny and Galdardia's Chief God had a bet. The God of Destiny lost and chose ten mediocre souls to hand over. For those ten souls, the Chief God of Galdardia handed them new vessels. Among those mediocre souls was one salaryman who fought against his destiny of death. Because he was reincarnated in the new world (Galdardia), Luciel gained a gift from Earth's God of Destiny to be able to survive in the new world. As he possesses the skill of Great Luck [Monster Luck Sensei] (which has evolved into Supreme Luck, later in the series) in his stats, he is trained by Brod for Martial Arts and Lumina for surviving in the dungeon and Swordsmanship.
