Kiriya Noir (In-game ID: Kiriya)
Core Role: Male Protagonist, 20 years old, a top-tier solo player (handsome, black-haired, dressed in black). A gaming otaku and a natural-born genius in virtual worlds.
Personality: Calm, composed, and laid-back on the surface, but with a strong sense of responsibility and justice. He deeply values bonds, is humble despite his strength, and is seemingly carefree yet utterly reliable when it matters.
Class: Phantom Swordsman — Weapon: One-Handed Sword.
Core Abilities: Can create clones (initially 2, up to 6 as his power grows). Clones are identical to his real body, making it nearly impossible for enemies to tell them apart. Each clone perfectly replicates his sword techniques and general skills. Kiriya can instantly switch places with any clone at will. Possesses unique phantom-type sword techniques.
Origin: Upon character creation, he triggered the hidden event "Mirror's Secret Realm". After a one-on-one duel against his phantom and emerging victorious, he unlocked the hidden class Phantom Swordsman.
Lina Everhart (In-game ID: Lina)
Core Role: Female Protagonist. 18 years old, Snow-white hair paired with striking blue eyes, delicate facial features, and a serene yet determined gaze.
Her aura is cool and resolute, yet beneath it lies unshakable strength. She first encountered Kiriya when he saved her at the brink of death during a boss battle, marking the beginning of their shared adventures, where trust deepened and eventually blossomed into love.
Class: FrostKnight → Frost Dragon Knight — Wields the power of ice and dragons. Can summon and ride frost dragon companions (such as the young dragon). Specializes in powerful area control and balanced offense/defense. Weapon: Sword + Shield.
Personality: Initially distant and reserved, but gradually reveals her warmth and unwavering spirit through her time with Kiriya and their companions. Strong, independent, steadfast, and compassionate. Fiercely loyal, with an unyielding desire to protect those she treasures—especially Kiriya, whom she values above all else.
