Hajime Nagumo

"I'll protect you, and you'll protect me. As long as we watch each other's backs, we'll be stronger than anyone. We'll beat down anyone who stands against us and burst our way out of this shitty world!"

- Hajime to Yue

Hajime Nagumo (ハジメ) is the main protagonist of the novel series Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou.

Being called "incompetent" and later betrayed by one of his classmates, Hajime falls into the abyss where his journey to become the strongest begins.

Appearance
Hajime at the beginning of the story is said to have black hair and also has a slim body. He also had a kind face and attitude. But after falling into the abyss and eating the wolf-like monster, his body begun dying. When he drunk the sacred water, it made his body heal, destroying the bones and muscles, then healing over and over again until he got a very buff body called "overcompensation". Due to the stress of breaking and healing, his hair turned white, a condition called. His eyes also turned red and his body gained tattoo-like red veins, which is the sign of him becoming a demonic monster similar to the monster's he ate which allowed free use of magic without chants.

In the after-story his appearance has reverted back to before he and his classmates were summoned to Tortus.

Personality
He was originally an weak and average person with a timid and tolerant personality, but with an extremely kind and gentle heart. While a bit of a "Herbivore", he had a special type of bravery and strength of heart that would allow him sacrifice his own dignity and well being to protect child from harm even though he was against great odds. Kaori had noted that it would be easy to be a hero to fight against evil if one were already strong, but it takes true strength to go against evil if one knows that they are weak. This strength of heart is evidenced by his ability to keep calm when his class faced perilous dangers by a Behemoth, while Kouki had momentarily stood paralyzed by fear until snapped out of it by Hajime. He had a Motto of "Hobbies First" and would put his hobbies over everything else despite ridicule by his peers.

After the betrayal of a classmate and falling in into an abyss, he began his descent to madness. The fear of dying and the pain of losing his arm coupled with days of starvation pushed him over the edge. His iron forged will to survive had made him become extremely ruthless and capable of killing any person who wants to cause him misfortune or get in his way. He would also smile in front of danger which made Shea call him a new species of monster called "Predator". He may be merciless, but he deeply cares for his comrades which is the last and only fragment of his lost kindness. As the series progresses, Hajime eventually does prove himself willing to help the helpless (particularly if his companions coax him into it), though he continues to demonstrate a cold demeanor about the whole thing. His methods, however, are usually pragmatic (frequently to the point of brutality), and he is stubbornly resistant to guilt trips and appeals to his moral compass (as Kouki Amanogawa repeatedly encounters, and refuses to acknowledge).

During the Shunee Great Labyrinth, its revealed that he has some doubts of whether or not he can live in Japan due to how strong he became and was scared of being referred to as a monster. Although unlike others that would be distracted by the labyrinth's trials that induce doubt, Hajime learned to power through it and just ignore it.

Background
His father was a game creator and his mother was a shoujo mangaka. His original plans while in high school was to eventually get a part time job at his father’s company or mother’s workplace.

And all his Otaku hobbies were perfect for practicing his skills for his future plans and occupation.

In Middle School, Hajime had witnessed a scared mother and child apologizing to a punk for accidentally spilling something on the punk's clothes. An ordinary passerby would not have gotten involved, but he moved his body unconsciously when he saw the punk start to lay his hands on the child. Knowing that he was no match for the bully but still wanting to protect the child, he knelt down to beg forgiveness for the child even at the sacrifice of his own dignity. Kaori once witnessed this bravery and the strength of his heart that allowed him to stand against evil while a weak person and began approaching him everyday once she found him in high school.

Plot
At the beginning of the story, Hajime was a complete otaku in his class who always and always comes to class with a sleepy expression. He was always bullied and was glared by both of his male and female classmates for being close to their idol-like classmate, Kaori.

After wishing for his annoying classmates to be summoned to another world, the next thing he saw was that they were on top of a pillar-like structure in another world. Then, they become saviors called by the "GOD" on Tortus, Ehit, thus becoming one of the heroes.

However, he had the job "Synergist" which was not a cheat-like job with all his stats starting with 10. All of his classmates had cheat-like jobs and stats reaching the hundreds just by being level one. He was thus also bullied for being weak. After that, Kaori visited his room, telling him not to go to Orcus Dungeon, because she had a dream that someone is gonna take him away and Kaori can't just sleep with that thought. But Hajime comforted her that even if he will go with them, he will not be in any danger because Kaori is there to protect him which made Kaori happily nod in agreement.

After that day, they went to Orcus Dungeon to level up. They were fine until they reached the 20th floor when Hiyama touched a huge shiny ore in an attempt to obtain it for Kaori. It was a trap and everybody present was teleported to a lower floor in the dungeon. There, they saw a lizard-like monster called "Behemoth" which was the monster that was not defeated even with the legendary adventurer who reached the 65th floor. Hajime helped a girl surrounded by monsters and told them to keep calm or they are gonna die. Then, he got mad at Kouki who was full of justice and wouldn't leave behind Meld, saying someone should lead the panicking classmates. Hajime told Meld to help him after his classmates where it is safe while he was preventing the Behemoth from moving. After that, their party was casting magic to kill the Behemoth, but one classmate betrayed Hajime and hit him with a "Fireball" which caused him to fall off the cliff.

He wakes up to see a giant bear monster and tries to run away, but his left arm is bit off by the demon. Falling into despair, Hajime transmutes a hole to escape pleaing for his life. He thinks back to how it all started for him and becomes determined to return home and will kill anything and anyone who gets in his way. He stops the bleeding in his severed arm and confronts a wolf monster as he sadistically stabs it to death. He them retores his vitality and mana and eats the demon to fil up his stomach. After finish eating, he starts feeling agony until he realizes that not ony did his hair turned white but he also gained new power. After gaining some lightning abilities, he transmutes a revolver and calls it Donner. He then traverses the abyss killing and eating monster until he confronts the same monster that ate his arm. After getting injured again by it, he uses a green glowstone as a flashbang and shoots the monster's left arm off completely disintegrating it. He then finishes it off by shooting it in the head and then consumes it.

Three days after killing the bear, Hajime continues traversing the abyss gaining raw material until he confronts 2 cyclopses but kills them instantly. He then comes across a room with a little girl sealed inside some kind of magic box. She then explains that she was betrayed. She then explains that she's a vampire and was the strongest of her clan until her people betrayed her, so she begs Hajime to help her escape. Hajime obliges and breaks the sealed box. Hajime asks for her name, but she says that she doesn't have one and asks Hajime to name her. He names name Yue. As they are about to leave the room, a monster pops up in an attempt to kill them. They have a hard time killing it, so Yue tells Hajime to trust her as she bites his neck and drinks his blood and uses one of her strongest attacks called Azure Blaze. Hajime finishes it off by shooting a hole in it and sticking what looks like a grenade inside of it causing it to explode. After a month of exploring, Hajime and Yue open up to each other on how they both fell down the labyrnith into the abyss, and Yue decides to tag along with Hajime on his journey back home.

They fight off monsters in a forest until Yue is held captive by a plant monster. Yue tells Hajime to kill it and don't worry about her, and Hajime shoots blowing the plant monster's head off. When it seemed like they made to the end of the abyss, they're immediately cut off by a hydra-like monster. As they fight it off, the monster cast some kind of mind spell on Yue causing her to freak out until Hajime breaks her out of her hallucinatin by kissing her injecting a potion inside of her. After saving Yue, Hajime tells her to distract the monster so that he powers up his secret weapon which is an anti-matter rifle he calls Schlagen. As Yue attacks with another one of her abilities called Crimson Javelin, Hajime then fires a shot at the monster blowing off multiple heads at once. When it seemed like they were finished, the hydra regenerates and blasts an attack at Hajime mortally wounding him and blinding his right eye. He falls unconscious while Yue desperately fights off the hydra with his Donner but gets mortally wounded as well. Hajime regains conscious and steps behind Yue letting her know that they're gonna end this fight. Hajime distracts the hydra in its true form while Yue charges up her Azure Blaze. The hydra constantly blasts attacks at them, but Hajime dodges them all and transmutes the ceiling above the hydra making it fall on it. Yue then fires her Azure Blaze greatly wounding the hydra, and Hajime finished it off by shooting it in the head with his Donner.

Two months after clearing the labyrinth and learning creation magic, Hajime makes himself a prosthetic arm and makes Yue a necklace with a gemstone that contains reserved mana inside. Afterwards, they finally leave the labyrinth for good. After some walking, they find a hidden door leading to outside. They make haste through the Raisen Grand Canyon until they come across a bunny girl being chased by a two-headed dinosaur-like monster. Annoyed by it, Hajime steps in and kills the monster saving the girl. The girl then reveals herself to be a demi-human and that her family, the Haulia, lived the depths of the forest which was demi-human territory. Unfortunately, because of her abilities she and her family were exiled. The reason why was because originally, demi-humans had no talent for magic, but Shia did, and she had the ability to manipulate it. She has what's called the Inherent Spell Prophecy, the ability to see the future before it happens. She fears that if she's captured, she will be executed. During their time fleeing into the forest, her family was attacked by imperial soldiers and because her family were non-combative, half of her family was captured. Now she begs Hajime and Yue for help, but Hajime immediately refuses. Shia desperately begs and asks why. Hajime explains by asking what he gets out of helping a demi-human that has no home yet she has the ability to predict the future. Shia then admits that the future will change with hard work and that some futures won't change if you do nothing, so she's determined to believe that her vision of Hajime and Yue was meant to be and that she won't give up on them. Yue tells Hajime that they should go with her since they have no means of guidance through the forest and that they won't be defeated so easily. Hesitant on the matter, Hajime agrees to take her along. The demi-human then introduces herself as Shea Haulia.

Combat abilities
This The metal dust that had invaded into the body penetrated until inside the blood vessel, shredding the target from inside. If Hajime wanted, he could also use the crow type artifact "Ornis" as relay point to adjust the dust using "Convergence Transmutation", making the metal dust inside the body reacted and gave only intense pain without killing the target. By the way, the crimson light was optional! The metal dust was clad with crimson light, becoming heavy fog that covered the world. The living organism inside that territory would have the inside of their body within the grasp of the demon king, at the same time their right to live or die was also wrestled away from them.

Currently, the space in a radius of three kilometer around Hajime as well as until the height of three kilometer was completely isolated. it was first used when the illegal agents of a certain country in earth tried to make a move against the returnees.

With the cooperation of Tio who was the best in using metamorphosis magic, Hajime succeeded in developing the Grim Reaper - Bio Hazard version that he was completely fixated upon. And he released them inside the barrier at that time, so the two's reaction was understandable. The Tyrant was especially popular. To the degree that several people completely lost their SAN value It was a devilish harassment that would make a certain god of death from hell to say 「That’s wrong」 with serious face ――Now, everyone, are you all finished with your preparations? ――It’s starting you know?

 * Creation Magic - if it was expressed more accurately then it was a ‘magic that interferes at inorganic material’, a magic that was the opposite of metamorphosis magic. And so theoretically this magic should be able to interfere with things like water or salt too, not just mineral.
 * Gravity Magic - Gravity magic was something that should be expressed as ‘magic that interfere with the energy of star’, not only gravity, theoretically, it could also interfere with things like earth vein or terrestrial heat, bedrock or magma, it wasn’t impossible to use this magic to purposefully generate earthquake or volcano eruption.

Originally it was possible to interfere with time itself using this magic, it could catch a glimpse of the past or take a peek at several branches of the procession of time. Shia’s characteristic magic of ‘Future Viewing’ was likely originated from this magic.
 * Spirit Magic - To define spirit magic the expression of ‘magic that interfere with negative material possessed by living thing’ showed its true nature the most. To say it specifically, this magic could also interfere with things like energy inside the body that was magic power, heat, electricity, then thought, consciousness, memory. Although this magic was designated as ‘soul/spirit’, what Yue and others could exercise with this magic was interference at thought body more accurately. And then if someone could handle this magic perfectly, the caster could personally create consciousness and the like, they could conjure it too. To put another way, it was possible to create artificial intelligence using magic.
 * Sublimation Magic - Expressing sublimation magic as ‘magic that interfere with the information of existing thing’ was more accurate definition. Its function that evolved an ability by a level was, for example, interfering a body information that said level 1 and raised it up to level 2. If the user reached the root, it was possible to browse and interfere with the information of all existing object.
 * Metamorphosis Magic - It’s a magic that interferes at organic material. You can also think of it as magic that interferes at material that originated from living thing. In other words, if you feel like it, not just an animal but something like a plant, and also things that are made from that――for example food or paper, this magic can also interfere with that kind of thing. Of course, it can also interfere at the human. The magic stone is nothing more than a byproduct.
 * Deny All Existences - Concept magic that, through sublimation magic, overwrites other's information from "Exist" to "Non-Exist" and fill it into thin thread-like chains created with transmutation. Everything that touched by the chain will be erased and feel a great agony and pain even if the target should not feel any pain.

Quotes

 * (To Ilwa Chang): "A piece of paper can be a good shield if you use it right. My job’s Synergist, you know? My duty is to make sure anything that can be useful is made useful. Don’t worry, I’ll make good use of your support."
 * (To Daisuke Hiyama): "Don’t pin the blame on other people. You’re the one who decided to stoop to this level. Both here and in Japan, you’ve always been the loser. You didn’t lose to other people. You’ve lost to yourself. You never once tried to take responsibility for anything. All you ever did was sit on the sidelines and insult everyone else, when the real loser was always you."
 * (To Kouki Amanogawa): "If I have power, I should use it for justice? It’s because you think like that that you always end up messing up when it really matters. Personally, I think power should be wielded with a clear intent. You don’t do something because you have the power to. It’s because you want to do something that you obtain the power necessary to achieve it. If you really think you’re obligated to do things just because you have the strength to, then for you, strength is nothing more than a curse. You lack resolve, Amanogawa. Anyway, I’m not going to argue with you about the path I’ve chosen. If you keep pissing me off I’ll send you flying out of here like I did with Hiyama."
