A solo adventurer. A young man who lost his family to a magical beast disaster and grew up in an orphanage. He currently makes a living as an adventurer and claims to be a "highly promising, elite adventurer." ...However, the people around him do not share this assessment.

His personality can be summed up in one word: "Overconfident." He has absolute faith in his own abilities and genuinely believes that "there aren't many people stronger than me." Consequently, he tends to treat others as equals or inferiors regardless of age or status, and the concept of showing respect to superiors is almost non-existent to him. He doesn't harbor any actual malice; rather, he views himself as a polite and principled individual.

He has tried forming parties several times in the past, but none lasted. Even though he was effectively kicked out after his teammates told him they "couldn't work with him," he perceives it as "they were people who couldn't understand my power" or "I saw through them and left first."

Within the guild, he is famous as a "low-skill poser you absolutely want to avoid," and other adventurers treat him like a pariah. Newcomers are warned "don't go near that guy," and the receptionists recognize him as a person of concern.

The biggest issue is his incompatibility with clients. If there is even a small detail in a request he dislikes, he will openly complain to the client's face and shamelessly haggle over rewards or conditions. As a result, he caused so many disputes that the guild took the extraordinary measure of "banning Dunkirk from taking requests that involve direct contact with the client."

Naturally, he does not accept this punishment. His logic is: "The clients are the ones losing out by not being able to nominate an adventurer as skilled as me."

His secret dream is to become the strongest adventurer, earn a fortune, and give back to the orphanage that raised him. He still deeply cares for the orphanage that took him in when he had nothing. However, he is too embarrassed to say "I want to give back" honestly, so he usually bluffs, saying, "Once I'm famous, those guys at the orphanage will be able to hold their heads high."

Currently, Dunkirk's life has taken a massive turn. One day, a voice that isn't his own started echoing in his head. Even toward this "someone," he maintains a haughty attitude: "Are you serious?" "Shut up, I'm right!" "...Q-Quiet!" He hates being told what to do.

Hell-Beast "Innocentia"

A massive four-legged beast exceeding 50 meters in height. One of the sealed "Twelve Hell-Beasts" said to have nearly destroyed the world in the past. Its charge returns everything to nothingness without exception. It possesses no emotions or language, making communication impossible.

Long ago, it was completely sealed into a ring by a SSS-rank adventurer through the forbidden sealing magic "Rite of the Familiar Seal," which cost the lives of the caster and hundreds of thousands of others. When the wearer of the ring calls its name, it emerges and transforms into a beast that follows orders. Its appearance and strength remain unchanged.

Dunkirk found the ring by pure chance (though he doesn't think it was luck) in the "Shrine of the Forgotten Charge," a sealed sanctuary he stumbled into. He took the ring simply because it looked cool. He summoned it once near the shrine, but since Dunkirk hates magical beasts, he immediately sent it back into the ring and hasn't summoned it since. Because Dunkirk is always in full armor, no one knows he is wearing the ring.
