**Sima Liangjie** — A veteran noob gamer from the modern era who accidentally transmigrated into the world of the game *Frostbloom Radiance*, becoming its strongest boss: the Iceflower Evil God Dragon. Upon his debut, he tricked Fan Qiandai into posing as a "bard." After the Dragon Fang Mountain campaign, he transformed into an androgynous youth form and embarked on a quest to save Fan Qiandai and his idol.

— Traits: Silver long hair, exquisitely handsome features.

— Catchphrase: *This Great Master!*

**Fan Qiandai** — Appearing only in the Prologue Arc, she was originally the shadow of Zhanma X, Mariano, the Third Prince of the Reno Empire, and a member of the Orange Division within the mysterious Bard Organization. During the Frostbound Dragon Valley campaign, Zhanma X was frozen to death—body and soul—by the oblivious Iceflower Evil God Dragon. She later met Sima Liangjie in his human form and became his shadow. At Dragon Fang Mountain, she died saving Sima Liangjie. Whether she can be resurrected remains known only to the almighty Iceflower Evil God Dragon...

— Traits: Glasses, stutterer!

— Catchphrase: *M-M-Master!*

**Fan Qianfeng** — Fan Qiandai’s elder sister, also a bard and member of the Blue Division. Nothing escapes the ever-watchful Bards—not even the outcome of the Frostbound Dragon Valley campaign. Whether she knows of her sister’s fate, or understands Fan Qiandai’s bond with Sima Liangjie, remains unclear. One thing is certain: she’s no pushover to be bought off with a few bottles of soy sauce or a lunchbox!

**Zhanma X · Mariano** — Sima Liangjie’s idol, the game’s legendary harem king, and sovereign of a nation. Yet upon Sima’s transmigration, Mariano provoked him and was instantly frozen—body and soul—by an unwitting blast of dragon breath. Whether he can be resurrected remains known only to the almighty Iceflower Evil God Dragon...

**Zhanma IX · Cierce** — The current ruler of the Reno Empire. Per the game’s lore, his demise is inevitable. The real question is: who will inherit the throne of the Tenth King?

**Zhanma X · Hung · Cecile** — Third Princess of the Reno Empire. She never existed in Sima Liangjie’s game memories, yet here she stands in reality. Unable to accept that the Iceflower Evil God Dragon caused Mariano’s death, she ran away from home and was taken in by the Lord of Xianglong City. After meeting Sima Liangjie’s group, she abandoned her royal title to study at Kempfer Royal Academy as a commoner!

— Traits: Fiery red hair, pure-hearted yet alluring, prone to flustered outbursts.

— Other: Ranked Ninth among the Radiant Ten Stars. Alias: *Wind Devourer*.

**Apsen Giant** — A lost tribe dwelling in the Starting Forest, unearthed by Sima Liangjie. Lured by his astonishing barbecue skills, the giant became his bodyguard, tutor, and nanny.

— Traits: True name unknown. Naturally resistant to Battle Qi and magic.

— Other: Nearly captured by Kempfa’s "Thousand Silver Threads" fan club for bounty money while in the Starting Forest.

**Dilu** — His human alias. In the Demon Realm, he is Satan: son of Demon King Lucifer. A master of human Battle Qi, he stands at the Peak Dou King realm, mere steps from becoming a Fighting Overlord. During the Dragon Fang Mountain campaign, he secretly led the Demon Kind’s assault on humanity—only to suffer a crushing defeat against the true form of the Iceflower Evil God Dragon. Forced to sign a humiliating treaty, he surrendered his Black Emperor Demon Dragon mount for five centuries.

— Traits: Violet-haired man. Roses seemed to bloom wherever he went.

— Other: Former leader of the Guns and Roses Mercenary Corps. After Dragon Fang Mountain, he disbanded it, joined Kempfa, and founded the "Thousand Silver Threads" fan club, now serving as its president.

**Alice** — Dilu’s younger sister. In the Demon Realm, she is Sacy: daughter of Demon King Lucifer. She resides in the ancient city of Istan, maintaining close ties with a human grandmother. Under Dilu’s arrangements, she enrolled at Kempfer Royal Academy.

— Traits: Golden-haired loli. Loves listening to stories.

— Other: Excels at summoning magic.

**Alpha** — Formerly the First of the Twelve Demon Kings: the Blazing Black Emperor Demon Dragon. Betrayed by Satan during the Dragon Fang Mountain campaign, she became Sima Liangjie’s mount. The Iceflower Evil God Dragon granted her a false human persona, sealing her true draconic form.

— Traits: Adorably呆萌 black-haired girl in black robes. Intellect akin to an infant’s.

— Other: Clings only to Sima Liangjie. How will she face him if her true self ever awakens?

**Saori** — Beloved daughter of Istan City’s Lord. Ranked Fifth among the Radiant Ten Stars. A rare talent in both magic and martial arts.

— Traits: Uncommon reddish-brown skin.

— Other: Alias unknown. Currently serves as Lord of Istan City—but rumors say she’s abandoning her post to study at Kempfer Royal Academy?

**Qiu Yingxi** — Nicknamed Xier. Saori’s personal maid: graceful, dignified, and deceptively formidable.

— Traits: Master of the chest-grabbing "Dragon Claw Hand."

— Victims: Countless female comrades.

**Magro** — Cecile’s ever-present butler. A lively old man whose robust health defies his age, often leaving Cecile torn between laughter and tears.

— Traits: Nags like a doting grandmother.

**Ace** — Captain of the S-Rank Crimson Mercenary Corps. A pure villain. What dark secrets bind him to Xianglong City’s Lord Snok? And why does he share history with Kempfer Royal Academy’s headmaster?

**Snok** — Elder Lord of Xianglong City. His "sheltering" of Princess Cecile earned him lavish rewards from the Reno Empire, propelling Xianglong toward becoming the continent’s premier metropolis. He maintains ties with the Crimson Mercenary Corps.

— Note: The Reno Continent has three major cities. Xianglong is merely one. "Major cities" control key transport hubs and lie closest to the Imperial Capital.

**Iceflower Evil God Dragon** — History’s strongest boss. While cultivating a human persona, Sima Liangjie’s sudden intrusion suppressed his true self. During the Dragon Fang Mountain campaign, Sima’s persona fell comatose, allowing the true dragon to awaken. His goal is simple: *Ascend to godhood*. After subduing the Black Emperor Demon Dragon and repelling the Demon Kind, he returned to Frostbound Dragon Valley. There, he forged a divine tower—*Ice Soul Tower*—using his primordial essence. He split this essence into twelve parts, sealing each within a tower floor. The twelfth floor holds the key to saving Fan Qiandai. Though he left Sima no power, he bequeathed crucial memories—especially regarding Fan Qiandai. His design? To spur Sima to master his own essence faster. Once Sima ascends the tower’s peak, the twelve essences will reunite. Their fusion will birth a divine core, transforming him into an earthly god.
