Character[]
The main character Minato is a college student who died in a plane crash and was reincarnated in a fantasy world. He was raised alone in the wilderness by his succubus mother, and now he tries to make his way as an adventurer. After his death, he reincarnated into another world with his memories intact. 16 years old. Adventurer.
He has black hair, eyes, and his clothes, weapons and even his bag are all pure black. His nickname is ‘Black Lion’. He has a child-like face and slender body build, perhaps a characteristic trait. He is a little below 170 cm in height. Presumed to be AAA Rank.
During his infancy, Lilyn had found him somewhere and raised him like her own son. Lilyn magically regressed Minato to a fetal state, so she could overwrite his birth mother's genetics; allowing him to birth and nurse Minato normally. Doing so gave him the magical power of an Incubus, but nothing sexual in nature.
He has a gentle and farsighted personality…or so it appears, however, in truth, he is quite childish, for better or worse. He is full of curiosity and creativity. He dislikes religious fanatics and muscle-brains who try to force their values on others.
Abilities[]
His battle style is mostly self-taught hand-to-hand combat in an “SFX: Games: HK Movies = 4:3:3” ratio. Minato has been researching magic and has invented some original magic too, from when he was small. And his original magic is so complicated that even a researcher from a country will have trouble finding the magic’s true nature. Because she trains her adoptive Mother, Minato develops due to his training from combat able to instantly identify “the best personal course of action” during combat. Because this raw skill of his own allows for the prediction of trajectory, it is possible to avoid attacks from projectiles and be able to sense danger.

Trivia[]
- During the Forest Spirits Arc, it's implied Elk is a hybrid between humans and the Dryad evolution line; even one of the Dryads said Elk's presence felt like their own. The fact Forest Spirits die if taken from their birth place supports the idea that Elk's mother was at least a first generation hybrid; making Elk herself only 1/4.
- Lilyn's daughters inherit her succubus lifespan by default, even if they came out as their father's race. The sons, on the other hand, get their father's llifespan; leaving most dead by the current era, if they had pure human fathers. William noted he had paternal fairy heritage, giving him extended youth.
