Hajime Nagumo

"I will protect you, Yue, and you will protect me. We are the strongest. We will mow all down, and we will cross worlds."

- 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 Shia 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, Ehito, 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. After that, his legend began.

Relationships
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 prioritize 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 attention 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 are 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. Hajime later confesses that he loves her when her father and the rest of the dragon race decide to help him wage war on Ehito.

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 travelled 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.

Amanogawa Kouki - Hajime has a neutral standing about Kouki and ignores 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 as chuunibyuu stuff. Shizuku later admits to him that she has feelings for him.

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."
