Naofumi Iwatani

Naofumi was once a successful otaku University student before being summoned to Melromarc. His past experience with Malty Melromarc has made him dark and cynical, but he is still a generally nice person. He has an extremely high alcohol constitution, eating a heavily alcoholic fruit that would cause severe alcohol poisoning if ingested. Although he experiences a slow start because of the Malty incident and is on a much lower level than the other heroes, he is still able to keep up and even occasionally outshine them. Out of the heroes, he is the only one who has learned the written language because he was not given crystal balls to level up his magic abilities and had to learn from books along with Raphtalia. He is also the only one who treated the world as a world and not a game. He has learned to create medicine through recipes and scavenge for materials, something the other heroes left to their weapons. Lastly, he was the only one not killed in his old world before coming to this one. He named his village Rock Valley in spite of many objections.

Personality
Originally Naofumi is extremely trusting and positive about his situation when initially summoned, but after he gets betrayed by Malty he becomes distrustful and spiteful, saying he is unable to trust anyone who is not his slave. Eventually, he recovers more of his humanity caring about his comrades but he still takes pleasure in the misfortune of the people that tormented him after he was betrayed and spited.

Appearance
Naofumi has black hair, and fairly sharp features, he uses Barbarian Armor, and is always equipped with his Legendary Shield.
