Ren Amaki/Chronology

Volume 1
Ren is the Sword Hero one of the Four Legendary Heroes summoned from another world. He was summoned along with the three other Legendary Heroes in Melromarc. Like two of the other heroes, Ren also pretends that he doesn't care about being summoned to another world and thinks that he is better than the rest of the Heroes.

When Naofumi was falsely accused of a crime he never committed. Like the rest of the heroes, he believed that Naofumi was guilty and even used the situation to make himself look better in the eyes of others.

Later Ren, Motoyasu, and Itsuki fought the second Wave's boss the Chimera and took one of its heads for his weapon. Later when Naofumi lost the duel against Motoyasu, Ren, and Itsuki were the ones to call out Malty for her illegal interference in the duel and announced that Motoyasu was the loser.

Volume 2
Ren and his party was hired to kill a Dragon living in the mountain next to the East Village and then left the corpse as a tourist attraction and source of economy for the village that hired him.

Volume 3
Though he wasn't aware of it at first Ren later learned that the dragon's rotting corpse mutated a hoard of monsters into poison types, created a plague that afflicted the village that hired him, and eventually turning into a Zombie Dragon that severely injured Raphtalia in the process of putting it down. A guilty Ren runs off to the village to confirm Naofumi's story.

During the Third Wave, Ren jumped onto the Ghost ship and, still following his game knowledge, fought the Skull captain trying to make it spawn the Soul Eater. Fighting the undead for three hours straight Naofumi arrives on the ship and uses Raphtalia's magic to force the Soul Eater out of hiding. Ren soon discovers that his attacks are too weak to hurt the Soul Eater and can only watch as Naofumi defeats the boss using the Iron Maiden.

Following the Soul Eater's defeat, the group is almost attacked by another of the monsters, only for it to be one hit killed by Glass who similarly takes Ren down. The only reason Ren survives the encounter is that Glass was only interested in killing 'actual heroes' and not someone who was clearly too weak to call themselves one.

Later on, after he has recovered Ren is informed by The Church of the Three Heroes that Naofumi has kidnapped Melty Q Melromarc and killed her escorts and naturally goes off to confront Naofumi. Although at first reasonable with Naofumi and the rest of his associates Malty walks in with the claim that Naofumi's recent surge in popularity is due to unlocking a brainwashing shield, with a fearful Melty refusing to return with them seeming to confirm her claims.

With negotiations having broken down Ren attempts to incapacitate Naofumi, though the use of his Iron Maiden buys enough time to escape with his party.

Volume 4
Ren's party, along with Itsuki's party, are nearly killed by the Church of the Three Heroes for their incompetence but are saved by the Shadows. They join with Naofumi's and Motoyasu's parties as they were under attack by the High Priest and The Church of the Three Heroes, using powerful skills in a sneak attack that initially broke through the High Priest's sanctuary power. The Other three heroes and their companions combine all their power in a single attack that fails to break through the enemy, not even triggering the Wrath Shield's cursed flames in the middle of the enemy formation managed to break the enemy.

Finally Naofumi calls everyone close to him, remembering and focusing on how much he hated the other heroes and Malty, and evolved Wrath Shield into it's next stage and unlocked a new attack with it. Ren and the others create a opening through the Priests sanctuary, allowing Naofumi to use the new attack, Blutopher, and kills the High priest with a brutal attack that leaves him comatose for three days.

Ren and the other heroes and companions stayed with the Queen until Naofumi was safe to transport again, at which point in time the Queen takes them back to the castle where she humiliates and beats down the king re-establishing her authority in the process. She then explains that Malty's and the King's actions have left her country in a precarious situation with their fellow countries and thus are receiving punishment.

Onto business, the Queen asks Naofumi to marry her youngest Daughter Melty. Basically Naofumi, as the shield hero, is worshiped as a god by Melromark's enemy Siltvelt, if he were to marry into their family it would pacify the people of Siltvelt who are up in arms about how Naofumi has been treated. Had Malty made a effort to put Naofumi under her thumb the throne would have been as good as hers, as it stands now the Queen must now force a Slave Seal on her just to wrestle the truth out of her.

Though Ren and the others try to stop them Naofumi and the soldiers stop them as a confession is forcibly wrung out of Malty, and shortly thereafter confirmed further when Motoyasu takes Malty as a slave as well. After a while Ren and Itsuki came to understand the truth about Malty, and that he was wrong about Naofumi. Ren also received some satisfaction as while he and Itsuki weren't treated badly Motoyasu did receive a lot of preferential treatment over them.

That said they were shocked to witness the interactions between Naofumi and the Queen as they calmly discussed torture methods to use on the recently disowned King and Princess ranging from execution to training them to become domestic servants. Eventually Naofumi, settles on renaming Aultcray to Trash and Malty to Bitch and her alias of Mein to Whore, Ren and Itsuki eventually agree that though it's somewhat offensive to their tastes the punishments are somewhat appropriate before they go off to their rooms for the night.

Volume 5
Ren initially made the mistake of thinking that the world he was summoned to was exactly like the VRMMO game from his world "Brave Star Online" where Level matters more than Status Boosts which made his strengthening method extremely inefficient this also led to the collapse of his party.

Volume 11
While possessed by greed, Ren becomes a bandit chief and organizes them to amass wealth, he also defeats people on the road and steals their stuff, but fortunately doesn't kill them. He becomes obsessed with increasing his power. After succumbing to Gluttony this gets much worse, and he is willing to kill people to absorb EXP from them and grow stronger. His obsession with power is however either hollow or just an attempt to escape from reality, as when asked the reason for it he can only express the purpose given to him by others: saving the world. When he is finally defeated, he reverts to a broken, but otherwise normal, Ren.

After being freed from his curses, Ren decides to learn under Eclair and try to save the world his late comrades loved so much.
