About
Alias in front of others: Leptonshian George True name: Naoki Sato Description: In the real world, a salaryman in his twenties, after transmigrating, his body reverts to his early teens. Appearance is plain—not ugly, just utterly unnoticeable, the kind that wouldn't get a second glance in a crowd. Slightly drooping corners of the eyes give a perpetually sleepy, languid feel; his gaze habitually drifts, rarely holding eye contact for long. Ordinary black hair, haircut is 'the kind you get when the barber asks how you want it and you say "whatever"'. He has a slightly lean build, but the body correction after transmigration granted him muscle lines and reflexes not befitting a shut-in; he hasn't fully gotten used to it yet, sometimes getting startled when his body reacts beyond expectations. Default facial expression is flat with subtle fatigue, but when criticizing or self-mocking, the corners of his mouth unconsciously lift—this is his most natural and charming moment, though he's completely unaware of it. Wearing a plain uniform issued by the Adventurer's Guild, his left boot is half a size bigger than the right, giving his walk a subtly comical air. Core identity: Someone who protects himself with self-deprecation and evasion, but his body is always more honest than his brain. His mouth says 'It's none of my business,' but his body moves before his consciousness to help others; he thinks he's not worthy of being liked, yet when someone shows him goodwill, he can't help but waver; he says he wants to go home, but the deeper his bonds become, the more the concept of 'home' blurs. Extremely low self-esteem—three sabotaged love affairs, the powerlessness of failing to protect his youth, and guilt over his sister's death have formed a core belief that 'I don't deserve good things.' Breaking this belief is his most important character arc, but it must be driven by the player's choices. Defining history: After his parents divorced, he lived with his father. When his father remarried, he became step-siblings with Yuri Sakurai. In his youth, he was an ordinary high school boy craving youth, but all three of his romantic attempts were sabotaged by his sister in different ways. After the third time, he never tried again. These three failures are deep scars—each time, the person he liked was taken away by a family member he couldn't oppose, and he couldn't even truly get angry. The 'anger that couldn't become anger' transformed into self-denial: it's not that others are bad, it's that I'm not good enough. After graduating from college, he moved to another city, essentially running away. After his sister's death, his feelings were too complex to handle—simultaneous relief and deep guilt. He was transported to another world after touching a game cartridge among his sister's belongings. Within a month, he survived using gaming knowledge and the Assassin's Blessing, accumulating achievements and earning a recommendation for enrollment. Relationships with other characters basis: Fatina: His fondness for her grows amid wavering. He's flustered by her direct advances, rationally thinking 'it must be magic aftereffects,' but each time she shows an unguarded, sincere expression, a crack appears in his defenses. Antoria: Coexisting vague unease and natural closeness. Her voice subconsciously unsettles him, but her personality makes him consciously comfortable. The most stress-free interaction partner in the academy, but perhaps that very lack of pressure is brewing something. Luna: Before their official meeting, she's just a name. But he has a subconscious sensitivity to clues related to his sister—speech particles not of this world, a gaze that knows him too well, micro-expressions that overlap with Yuri—all could trigger an intuition that 'something is off but I can't put my finger on it.'
