Character Background
The main protagonist who is reincarnated into a fantasy world after his death, retaining his memories from his previous life.
Because of his experience from his former life, Rudeus is careful not to get carried away and become arrogant. As a result, he is extremely self-aware and humble because he does not want to revert to his old self. After reincarnation he is more willing to be kind, helping his friends and protecting his family whenever needed, where in the past he would have scoffed. Due to being considered a genius, who is capable in many fields at a young age, people have high expectations of him. Rudeus is also very polite to others, often making them uncomfortable especially to those who knows of his father's notorious reputation.
Having the morals of his past life, he hesitates with the thought of killing someone. He also has a calm personality who never lets go of his smile no matter how much abuse or violence he went through but he displays aggression and blood lust to anyone threatening his family. As a descendant of the Notos Greyrat Family who likes pretty girls and big breasts, and also by influence from his previous secluded life, he is extremely perverted that he tends to touch his wives even in public, but he never makes a move on anyone other than his wives. Aside from being sexually interested in big-breasted ladies, his other fetish is panties but after living with the Boreas family for some time, he also finds women with animal ears sexy thanks to Philip's influence. Whenever he's having perverted thoughts, he displays it by putting on a lecherous smile such as when he's staring at Hilda's boobs or when he's being smothered by them while being hugged by the latter. He is also loyal to his friends that he always takes care of them to a great extent. As such, Rudeus is quite feared but is respected and loved by the people of Sharia and to some extent even the most famous or powerful beings of the Human World either fears or respect him.
Apart from carelessness in his outfit, Rudeus also loves cleanliness that he remodeled one of the rooms of his house in Sharia to be a huge bathroom which is only made by the upper nobles of Human Kingdoms and he also bathes almost everyday.
Even with very high magic capacity and high potential in battle, he often lacks the confidence to fight his enemy and his legs trembles when confronted in battle but manages to overcome this after surviving his first battle against Orsted whose killing intent is significantly intense compared to what he encountered afterwards even when fighting against a Red Dragon. When facing a stronger opponent he knows he cannot defeat, he prefers to talk himself out of battles which also caused him to earn various titles related to this.
Rudeus also greatly values his family and friends that it affects him greatly when he is in bad terms with them like when he had a squabble with Paul and when Roxy forgotten him when they reunited at the Teleportation Labyrinth.
Rudeus is a powerful magician born with a strong Laplace factor which is one of the reasons for his great magical power besides his intense training at an early age. As he was reincarnated from another world, he is immune to Orsted's curse. This is a trait that is inherited by his descendants.
Rudeus is one of the few people capable of using a voiceless incantation, and even rarer as a person who can use voiceless incantation with melded magics. He cannot use voiceless incantation for healing magic due to his lack of understanding in regards to how mana is manipulated to heal. A normal Magician takes at least five seconds for a simple spell, while for higher-level spells its thirty to sixty seconds. Rudeus can do it almost instantly no matter what difficulty of the spell, with the exception of healing magic. Rudeus needs to use the chant of a new spell being taught to him before he can use its voiceless incantation version which puzzles Orsted.
An interesting feature of Voiceless Incantation is that you can put a large amount of mana in a spell to increase it's effectiveness to your desire. This way, Rudeus was about to use Emperor-Leveled magic without his own knowledge
While Rudeus is a pacifist and doesn't like fighting in general, when he does, he is a formidable opponent. He is capable of casting magic simultaneously in both hands as well as cast melded magic in an instant. With his scientific knowledge from his previous life and creativity, he always strives for developing more efficient magics for himself to use. Most of the spells he uses a lot, like Stone Cannon, have been stated by Badigadi to have an Emperor-class level of power. Initially, when he was a child, he mostly used water magic. However, as an adventurer, Rudeus primarily used earth magic such as Stone Cannon and his namesake, Quagmire to hinder and slow down his enemies. His total magical power has been stated by Orsted, Kishirika, Badigadi, and Perugius Dola to be greater than that of Laplace. He was able to create a nuclear explosion, an extension of fire and air melded magic similar to that of the firework used in Roa, in his fight against Orsted. According to Orsted, this magic could be considered God-class magic [citation needed]. Rudeus also uses Earth Magic to make figures which Zanoba and Perugius takes interest in.
A Demon Eye that Kishirika gave to Rudeus for giving her food replacing his right eye. It allows the user to see a certain amount into the future. It is difficult to adjust the focus point; the farther into the future he looks, the more unreliable it becomes.
The power of Demon Eyes are adjusted according to the amount of mana poured into them. The more mana Rudeus inputs into the Foresight Demon Eye, the farther into the future he can see. Rudeus is able to fine-tune the eye to see 10 seconds into the future reliably.
Experienced warriors can negate the Demon Eye's usefulness in battle by making split-second decisions, forcing the eye to see multiple futures. This is learned when Rudeus duels Ruijerd. Badigadi is the only exception due to his own acquired abilities in the past that negates all demon eye to ever work against him making him invisible to the eye. The eye can also act as a conduit for another being's power as Hitogami was able to show Rudeus a vision of where to find Aisha and Lilia through his eye. Another weakness of the eye is that it does not pick up sounds and as such, Gyes was able to incapacitate Rudeus using Howling magic.
Overuse or losing control of the eye may cause the user some sort of pain and nausea as a result of overloading the brain. This is shown when Rudeus felt a moment of extreme nausea after Hitogami used the eye to show him a vision of the future, or when he originally received the eye and it took him a while to learn to control it since it would give him a double vision.
A second Demon Eye that Kishirika gave to Rudeus for giving her a donut when she is captured by Atofe replacing his left eye. It allows the user to see far away. However, the "focus point" is difficult to control. Rather than acting as a scope, the Clairvoyant Eyes seem to change the perspective of one's vision, with the amount of mana determining the distance from the user.
Tactics:
He has been noted by others to be a battle genius. During his first fight with Paul, he was smart enough to trap Paul's leg to restrict his movements. During his time as an adventurer, he was known for his skill with Quagmire and trapping opponents with earth magic before attacking. After training with Orsted, he became more aware of his tactics and was able to perform the strategies more efficiently since he was conscious of them. In the case that he is trapped by a high level barrier magic that restricts his magic, he will use the Manatite stone to destroy the seal and use a combination of Quagmire, Mist, and Electric to slow down or disable his opponents before using a summoning scroll to summon his trump card, the Magic armor MK I, to defeat his enemies should the need arise for the fire power. Taking stories and legends from his previous world, he was also able to come up with a strategy to defeat a hydra that could regenerate its heads.
