He was one of last six survivors of the Shadow Labyrinth that defeated the boss Boromir Napolitan, but died after Napolitan's dying heart exploded that destroyed the world. Having retained his memories of the previous timeline, he uses that knowledge in order to avoid a repeat of the future he experienced.
- A wind mage and one of Desir's party members. Romantica hails from a noble family, but was placed in the beta class despite her strong aptitude for magic due to the fact that she is from a commoner family who bought their nobility title. In the previous timeline, she is killed in action.
- A swordsman and one of Desir's party members. Pram is the son of a noble father that he never met, and a commoner mother who raised him until her death. He is known for his swordsmanship using a rapier, but started out reluctant to use it due to his disdain for father before he was convinced by Desir to use it. In the previous timeline, he is killed in action.
- The heir to the Hebrion throne and the top student at the academy. She takes on the identity as a member of the noble Kingscrown family to hide her identity. She was one of the last survivors of the Shadow Labyrinth in the previous timeline and the one who delivered the final strike to slay Napolitan.
