Nagumo, Hajime

南雲ハジメ

Hajime was a total otaku who always arrived at class looking sleepy. He was constantly bullied and disliked by both his male and female classmates because he was 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 them standing on top of a pillar-like structure in that other world, destined to become heroes.
He obtained the job of "Synergist" and continued to be bullied because he was also weak in this new world. He eventually fell into an abyss after being hit by a classmate's fireball, where he survived a hell-like environment to become the powerful man he is today.
At the beginning of the story, Hajime is described as having black hair and a slim body. He also had a kind face and attitude. But after falling into the abyss and eating a wolf-like monster, his body began to violently degenerate. When he drank the sacred water, it healed his body by destroying his bones and muscles, then healing them over and over again until he developed a very muscular body due to overcompensation.
Due to the stress of breaking and healing, his hair turned white, a victim of Marie Antoinette syndrome. His eyes also turned red, and his body gained tattoo-like red lines, which is the sign of him becoming a demonic monster similar to the monsters he ate, which also possessed red lines along their bodies.
His personality was initially kind, though he was considered incompetent. But after falling into the abyss, he became cruel and would kill any person who wanted to cause him misfortune. He would also smile in the face of danger, which led Shia to call him a new species of monster called "Predator." He may be cruel, but he cares for his comrades.
