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.

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.

Character
"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 Takatou=

- 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 was transported to another world by a woman called Sion. After being abandoned by his classmates, Yogiri and his new friend Tomochika decide 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 gifts—powers bestowed upon the others by a mysterious Sage who appeared to transport them. Even worse, he and Yogiri's his another classmate were ruthlessly abandoned by their friends, left as bait to distract a nearby dragon.

Although he is 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 do involve him or his friends/allies. He likes to play v 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 mentioned 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. 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 Takatou


 * -|Tomochika Dannoura=

"『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.』"

- Mokomoko Dannoura

Tomochika Dannoura is the deuteragonist of the Instant Death series and a high school student who, along with her classmates, got transported to another world by a woman called Sion. After being abandoned by her classmates, she quickly befriended Yogiri and went on 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 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 lineag, 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 higher-dimensional existences like The Heavenly Record Eater and the structure of the cosmology. Although she is normally capable of accessing the entire information of the world in her original world, when she was transported along Tomochika to the world, she lost access to all of it and could 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.

Hide/Show
 * 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 Battle suit: 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 as being capable of covering Tomochika’s head as well. In addition to providing protection, the suit also increases Tomochika’s speed and power.

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)"
