Other Protagonists refers to several important individuals whose lives became connected to the greater cosmological structure surrounding the main story.
Although they originate from different worlds and even different universes, their experiences are connected through divine intervention, manipulated information, reincarnation, and the influence of beings far beyond ordinary mortals.
Overview
Several important individuals experienced events that appeared similar to fictional reincarnation or transmigration stories.
However, the worlds they entered were not fictional.
The greater cosmological truth is that multiple worlds and multiple universes genuinely exist.
Some divine beings possessed limited knowledge of future events and used that information to influence individuals from other worlds.
The Four Main Cases
The most important known individuals connected to this phenomenon are:
- Alex — The Original Protagonist.
- César — Reincarnated through the intervention of the hidden Level 10 Deviant.
- Lucius — An individual from a universe dominated by the Outer Gods.
- Nilo — Another individual originating from an Outer God-controlled universe.
Alex — The Original Protagonist
Alex is considered the Original Protagonist.
Unlike the others, he originated within the principal universe itself.
His original home was an advanced Earth where humanity had developed powerful technology, interstellar travel, fleets, and weapons capable of threatening entire worlds.
Mana also existed on his Earth, although its presence had become extremely faint.
Alex's Original World
Alex's civilization had reached a highly advanced technological stage.
Humanity had expanded beyond its original planet and entered into conflict with other species.
One of the most important threats was a species commonly referred to as the Zerg, a rapidly expanding race capable of devastating and consuming worlds.
Relations between humanity and the Zerg eventually collapsed into war.
Alex's Life Before Transference
Alex was not originally a soldier.
After a catastrophic Zerg attack devastated his homeland, he entered military service.
Over time, he became involved in a much larger interstellar conflict.
Humanity itself was not always innocent during this era.
Alex witnessed and participated in conflicts in which other intelligent civilizations suffered greatly as a result of human expansion.
Alex's Death and Reawakening
Alex eventually died during combat.
He later awakened in another world within the same universe.
This new world possessed far richer Mana than his original Earth.
His transfer was therefore:
World-to-World Movement Within the Same Universe
It was not an inter-universe transfer.
The Ring and Titan
After awakening, Alex possessed a mysterious ring.
He also became aware of a mental voice or presence identifying itself as Titan.
Alex does not know Titan's true nature, intentions, or level of trustworthiness.
The exact origin of the ring and the identity of Titan remain unknown.
Alex's Future
Alex possessed a genuine future in which he would become an extremely important and powerful individual.
This future was not merely theoretical.
It was a real future that could be observed through divine foresight.
This is the main reason Alex is considered the Original Protagonist.
Divine Observation of Alex
Certain Gods were capable of observing fragments or glimpses of future events.
Alex's future was among the futures they observed.
Information taken from those observations was later transformed into stories or "novels" that other individuals encountered.
The False Appearance of Fiction
From the perspective of readers such as Lucius and Nilo, Alex's life appeared to exist only inside a novel.
This interpretation was incorrect.
The world, its people, and Alex himself were always real.
The "novel" was based on information taken from a genuine future.
Future Knowledge Is Not Absolute
Divine observation does not mean the future can never change.
Once individuals with knowledge of that future begin interfering with events, the original course of history can be altered.
Therefore, information from the "novel" becomes increasingly unreliable as the timeline diverges.
César — The Goblin Protagonist
César originated from a different universe.
His original life was that of an ordinary Human before his death and later reincarnation as a Goblin.
Unlike Lucius and Nilo, César's reincarnation was not caused by the Gods responsible for observing Alex's future.
The Level 10 Deviant
César's reincarnation was connected to the hidden first Level 10 Deviant.
This ancient being discovered the small universe from which César originated.
After observing how other powerful beings interfered with reincarnation and world transfers, the Deviant eventually granted César an unusual second opportunity.
César Was Not Chosen
César was not the Level 10 Deviant's true chosen one.
His reincarnation was instead a separate opportunity granted by the ancient being.
The individual who is truly intended to become the Level 10 Deviant's chosen one has not yet been born at the beginning of César's story.
César's Knowledge
César possesses knowledge of a story involving the world into which he was reincarnated.
However, the exact origin and mechanism behind this information have not yet been fully revealed.
It should not automatically be assumed that César received his knowledge through the same method used in the cases of Lucius and Nilo.
Lucius — The Extra
Lucius originated from another universe.
Before his death, he lived what appeared to be an ordinary life on Earth.
One of his main interests was a novel centered around Alex.
To Lucius, the events and people in that story appeared completely fictional.
Lucius's Apocalypse
Lucius's Earth later experienced a catastrophic event.
Portals began appearing throughout the world, allowing dangerous monsters to enter.
Governments and military forces struggled to maintain control.
At the same time, many Humans began awakening supernatural abilities.
Awakened Abilities
Human abilities varied widely.
Known examples included:
- Psychic abilities.
- Mental powers.
- Elemental abilities.
- Enhanced speed.
- Enhanced perception.
- Enhanced physical strength.
Lucius's Psychic Ability
Lucius awakened a psychic ability that allowed him to mentally enter and influence certain monsters weaker than himself in mental strength.
Through this ability and his own growth, he eventually became a powerful and respected individual.
Lucius's Death
Lucius eventually died following the betrayal of someone he trusted.
One of his final regrets was that he had never finished reading the novel about Alex.
Lucius's Reawakening
After death, Lucius awakened in the world he believed belonged to the novel.
Rather than becoming the protagonist, he appeared as an insignificant background individual or "extra."
His psychic ability followed him into his new life.
Lucius's Interpretation
Lucius believes he was transported into fiction.
Because he remembers information from the novel, he believes he possesses knowledge of the future.
His goal is to use this knowledge and his abilities to become far stronger than his original role should have allowed.
The Truth About Lucius's Universe
The portal catastrophe that affected his Earth was not an isolated natural disaster.
It was connected to the influence and domination of the Outer Gods.
Lucius himself did not understand the full cosmological cause of the disaster.
Nilo — The Villain
Nilo originated from yet another universe.
Before his reincarnation, he lived on an Earth that eventually suffered a catastrophic outbreak that produced zombie-like creatures.
These creatures became progressively more dangerous as the catastrophe continued.
Nilo's Previous Life
Nilo worked as a professional killer.
He considered himself an evil person but followed a personal code concerning the targets he accepted.
His background and morality strongly influenced the way he approached the world after reincarnation.
The Novel
Before the collapse of his world, one of Nilo's friends recommended a novel to him.
Nilo continued reading it during the catastrophe.
Like Lucius, he believed the world described in the novel was fictional.
Nilo's Death and Reincarnation
Nilo eventually died during the collapse of his world.
He later awakened in the world described by the novel.
Unlike Lucius, Nilo found himself occupying the role of a villain.
His new identity possessed significant wealth and social influence.
Nilo's System
Nilo possesses a mysterious System.
Known functions include:
- Receiving points through killing.
- Using points to increase his level or power.
- Learning techniques after seeing them once.
- Increasing mastery through training.
- Increasing mastery through points.
The complete origin of Nilo's System has not yet been revealed.
The Truth About Nilo's Universe
The zombie catastrophe that destroyed his former society was connected to the influence of the Outer Gods.
Like Lucius, Nilo did not understand the true cosmological origin of the disaster.
Lucius and Nilo Were Not Entering Fiction
Both Lucius and Nilo believe they were reincarnated into fictional worlds.
They are wrong.
The world they entered existed independently of the novels they had read.
The novels contained information derived from real future events involving Alex.
The Purpose of the Novels
Certain Gods were capable of observing portions of the future.
These future observations could be converted into stories and delivered to individuals in other worlds.
The recipients could then enter the real world with knowledge of events that had not yet occurred.
Interference With the Original Future
Individuals carrying future knowledge possess an enormous advantage.
They may know the locations of opportunities, valuable resources, important people, dangerous events, and future conflicts.
This allows them to interfere with events that originally belonged to Alex's future path.
Resources and Opportunities
Some of the opportunities that would originally have contributed to Alex's growth may instead be taken by people who already know where and when those opportunities will appear.
This can dramatically alter the original progression of history.
Relationships and Social Changes
Future knowledge can also affect personal relationships.
Individuals who know which people would later become important may attempt to approach them earlier or alter the circumstances under which they would have originally met Alex.
This can create an increasingly different future from the one initially observed by the Gods.
The Gods' Role
The Gods involved in these events are not necessarily acting as neutral observers.
By providing selected individuals with knowledge of Alex's future, they can introduce new variables into a timeline that originally centered around him.
The complete objectives of the Gods responsible for these interventions have not yet been revealed.
Not Every Reincarnation Has the Same Cause
It is important to distinguish the four known cases.
Alex, César, Lucius, and Nilo did not arrive in their new circumstances through one universal reincarnation mechanism.
Comparison
| Individual | Origin | Destination | Main Circumstance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alex | Principal Universe | Another World in the Same Universe | Original Protagonist |
| César | Separate Small Universe | Principal Universe | Reincarnated by the Level 10 Deviant |
| Lucius | Outer God-Controlled Universe | Principal Universe | Believes He Entered a Novel as an Extra |
| Nilo | Outer God-Controlled Universe | Principal Universe | Believes He Entered a Novel as a Villain |
Knowledge of the Future
| Individual | Future Knowledge | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Alex | No Novel-Based Foreknowledge | — |
| César | Yes | Exact Mechanism Not Yet Revealed |
| Lucius | Yes | Novel Based on Alex's Observed Future |
| Nilo | Yes | Novel Based on Alex's Observed Future |
Original Protagonist vs New Variables
Alex's existence as the Original Protagonist does not mean reality is literally governed by the rules of a novel.
The title refers to his position within the future originally observed by the Gods.
Lucius and Nilo became additional variables capable of disrupting that future.
César represents a different type of anomaly because his arrival is tied to the hidden Level 10 Deviant rather than the same divine intervention.
Outer God Influence
Lucius and Nilo share another major connection.
Both originated from universes already dominated by the Outer Gods.
Their respective catastrophes were manifestations of Outer God influence, although the exact method differed between their worlds.
Lucius and Nilo's Shared Misunderstanding
Both individuals believe they possess knowledge of a fictional narrative.
In reality, they possess incomplete information about one possible course of real future events.
The more they interfere with those events, the less accurate their original knowledge becomes.
César's Unique Position
César does not fit cleanly into the same pattern.
His origin lies outside the principal universe, but his reincarnation was caused by a being native to it:
The first Level 10 Deviant.
This separates César's situation from the direct schemes of the Gods and from the Outer God domination associated with Lucius and Nilo.
