Overview
Nagumo Hajime is the main protagonist of the novel Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou.

At the beginning, he is said to be "Incompetent" by his peers when he and his classmates were summoned to another world to be heroes. Later, Hajime falls into the abyss in a dungeon where his journey to become the World's 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 in 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 Marie Antoinette Syndrome. 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.

Personality
He was first a kind, but a socially deficient person. But after falling in the abyss, he became cruel and would kill any person who wants to cause him misfortune. He would also smile in front of danger which made Shia call him a new species of monster called "Predator". He may be cruel, but he cares for his comrades.

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
At the beginning, 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 they were on top of a pillar-like structure in another world. Then, they become saviors called by the "GOD" on Tartos Ehito, thus becoming heroes. 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 hundred's just by being level one. He was 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 someone touched a huge shiny ore which was a trap and they all fell down. 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 monster soldiers and told them to keep calm or they are gonna die. Then, he got mad at by Kouki who was full of justice and won'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. After that, he became strong in the Abyss.

Quotes
''“Haa, I don’t want to discuss with you, so can we end it now? ———— I, I won’t give any mercy to my enemy. If someone opposed me, as long as I don’t have any other need for it, I will absolutely kill that person. I don’t care whether they are good or evil, resisting or not. Hatefully, I knew I’d be dead if I show even a moment of weakness. This is my sense of value cultivated inside the abyss, and I won’t force it to other. But, if someone doesn’t like it and tried to block me…”“I will kill them, even if that person is a former classmate of mine.”''(Chapter 79 : The This and That After the Reunion)

''“The reason all of you are still alive is also thanks to Myuu and Remia. … Just try putting even a single wound on the two of them. … Children, woman, old men, noble or the poor, there won’t be any distinction, the race called known as the demons… I’ll make them extinct.”''(Chapter 155: Is it a Lie, or the Truth)

Nagumo Hajime's Party
Yue - Yue became Hajime's most important person after he fell into the Abyss. The two quickly grew close due to their similar backgrounds and similar circumstances. Even in public they tend to go into their own "pink world" and ignore everything in their surroundings. Whenever there is danger Hajime and Yue always prioritze the other's safety. Even though Hajime is surrounded by women who want to be his lovers and Yue herself wants him to be intimate with Shia, he has never wavered. His reasoning being that he is a man who would never cheat on the woman he loves and wants to be monopolized by Yue since, if the situation was reversed, he would never want Yue to be with anyone but him. It is Hajime's wish to bring Yue and the other girls back to his world.

Kaori Shirasaki - Hajime has always seen Kaori as a friend even though her attentions brought him nothing but trouble. When Hajime began his travels he had decided to discard his former classmates after his transformation but the moment he heard Kaori was in trouble he went into a dungeon to save her to repay her kindness. In the end, Kaori decided to travel with him despite his drastically different personality.

Shia Hauria - During their first meeting Hajime's impression of Shia was bad due to her excessive clingy attitude. Hajime wouldn't allow Shia to travel with him until she became strong so she trained with Yue so that one day she could stand next to them in battle. As time passed Hajime and Yue began to see Shia as part of their family but to Shia's and shockingly Yue's great disappointment Hajime could not see Shia in a romantic light. However that began to change when Hajime realized that Shia is just as important and irreplaceable to him as Yue and has begun to show his previously hidden feelings for her. Without realizing it the two have created their own "pink world" while they were alone.

Tio Clarce - After defeating and arguably "tainting" her, Hajime has been followed by the masochistic and incredibly perverted Tio who refers to him as her "master". Hajime constantly finds himself punishing her for her various misdeeds during their travels which makes Tio incredibly happy and disgusts everyone else. During their fight against Freed Baghaur, Tio admitted her true love for Hajime before escaping per his orders. Since then, Hajime has become "slightly" more tolerant of her and sees Tio as a member of their group, even going so far as to trust her with Myuu's safety while he and the others went into a dungeon.

Myuu - Hajime and Shia saved her from a sewage system after she escaped from slavers. Myuu immediately bonded with them and began called them "Onii-chan" and "Onee-chan". Later on, after Hajime and co. once again saved her from slavery she began calling him "Papa" much to Hajime's chagrin. As they traveled together Hajime began acting more and more like her father, from being incredibly overprotective to scolding and subsequently comforting her when she put herself in danger. After returning Myuu to her mother, Lemia, who started referring to Hajime as her husband, Hajime decided to take them with him once he returns to his world which both mother and daughter happily agreed to.

Heroes Party
Amanogawa Kouki - Hajime has a neutral standing about Kouki and ignore's the fact that Kouki envies him. He only has a bit of good intent to Kouki because he is a close friend of Kaori.

Yaegashi Shizuku - Hajime cannot handle Shizuku for she knows his secrets such us chuunibyuu stuff. Shizuku later admits to him that she has feelings for him.
