LEARN ABOUT THE CHARACTERS in CHAPTER ONE
RIKI - The REBORN CREATOR
Main protagonist / Superhuman Ninja / Creator and Destroyer of Worlds
Riki is a legendary superhuman ninja who has been reborn into a completely new body with almost no memory of his former existence. Although he appears to be growing up like an ordinary person, something impossibly powerful is sleeping inside him.
Riki cannot initially understand or control his abilities. Every battle forces him to discover something new about himself. His powers evolve through combat, experimentation, instinct, and emotion. The more he fights, the more fragments of his former identity begin returning.
Deep within Riki is a terrifying truth: he is a creator and destroyer of worlds.
Riki possesses the ability to create entire worlds, dimensions, and realities. However, worlds created by Riki are fundamentally connected to him. They are sustained by his presence, his energy, or the existence of his bloodline. If Riki or his descendants become sufficiently powerful, they can influence the very reality around them.
Riki does not begin the story understanding the scale of his existence. To him, every new ability is simply another mystery he has to solve.
Personality: Curious, determined, protective, sometimes reckless, and fascinated by his own abilities. Despite his cosmic potential, Riki retains a fundamentally funny human side.
Abilities: An evolving combination of traditional ninja techniques and completely unpredictable superhuman abilities. Riki constantly experiments during fights, turning his battles into laboratories for discovering new powers.
AIKO - The DEMON-BLOODED NINJA
Female protagonist / MMM Clan ninja / Riki's partner
Aiko is one of the most powerful ninjas of the MMM Clan. She possesses demon blood, revealed most visibly through her striking red eyes.
Aiko is an exceptionally skilled fighter even before discovering her connection to Riki. Her greatest transformation begins when she repeatedly fights alongside—and against—him.
Whenever Aiko clashes with Riki, she unknowingly absorbs fragments of his power.
At first, the changes are subtle. Her strength increases. Her speed becomes unnatural. Her instincts sharpen. Eventually, Aiko begins performing feats that should be completely impossible for a normal ninja.
She doesn't initially realize what is happening.
Aiko is unknowingly becoming superhuman.
Her connection with Riki eventually becomes more than a romantic or familial bond. Their powers have become intertwined, and Aiko's ability to absorb and adapt to Riki's energy makes her an important part of the evolution of his bloodline.
Personality: Fierce, intelligent, competitive, confident, loyal, and occasionally stubborn. Aiko refuses to simply stand beside Riki—she wants to fight beside him as his equal.
Abilities: MMM ninja techniques, demonic physical abilities, enhanced senses, energy absorption, superhuman strength and speed, and eventually powers derived from Riki's energy.
TERRIE - The PURPLE TERROR
Daughter of Riki and Aiko / Next-generation superhuman
Terrie is the daughter of Riki and Aiko and possibly the most confident member of the next generation.
With her distinctive purple hair and purple eyes, Terrie is impossible to mistake.
She inherited extraordinary potential from both sides of her family: Riki's reality-shaping bloodline and Aiko's demon-enhanced MMM heritage.
Terrie is an absolute terror.
She genuinely believes she is stronger than her father—and she has enough power to make that belief dangerous.
Terrie loves testing herself against stronger opponents and has little fear of consequences. She sees Riki's legendary reputation less as something to admire and more as a challenge to overcome.
Her greatest problem isn't a lack of power.
It's that she has no idea how powerful she could eventually become.
Personality: Aggressive, fearless, cocky, competitive, mischievous, and fiercely protective of her family.
Abilities: Superhuman strength and speed, inherited reality energy, demonic traits, exceptional combat instincts, energy manipulation, and the potential to develop abilities unique to her generation.
BAKA - The INSANE PRODIGY
Son of Riki and Aiko / Wild-card superhuman
Baka is the son of Riki and Aiko and the most unpredictable member of the family.
His yellow hair and yellow eyes are his defining visual characteristics.
Baka is clinically insane, but his insanity doesn't make him weak. In many ways, it makes him more dangerous.
His mind operates differently from everyone around him. He can laugh in situations where anyone else would panic, treat deadly battles like games, and make decisions that appear completely irrational—only for those decisions to somehow work.
Baka possesses enormous inherited potential, but unlike Terrie, he doesn't necessarily want to understand his powers.
He simply enjoys using them.
That makes him one of the most unpredictable beings in the universe.
Personality: Chaotic, unstable, hilarious, frightening, unpredictable, and occasionally surprisingly insightful.
Abilities: Superhuman physical abilities, inherited Riki/Aiko energy, extreme combat instincts, abnormal pain tolerance, energy manipulation, and potentially powers that respond directly to his unstable mental state.
MASTER KURENAI - The MASTER WHO KNOWS
MMM Clan master / Keeper of ancient knowledge
Master Kurenai is a female master of the MMM Clan who resides at the original MMM Clan compound.
She is one of the few people who understands that Riki is not merely an exceptionally powerful ninja.
She has seen enough of his existence to know the truth:
Riki is the most powerful being she has ever encountered.
Kurenai possesses immense knowledge of MMM history, ancient techniques, supernatural bloodlines, and the secrets surrounding Riki's original existence.
Unlike most characters, Kurenai does not underestimate Riki.
She is actually afraid of what might happen when he remembers everything.
She becomes an important mentor and guide, particularly as Riki begins rediscovering his powers.
Personality: Calm, disciplined, mysterious, intelligent, intimidating, and extremely difficult to deceive.
Abilities: Master-level MMM techniques, ancient ninja knowledge, spiritual perception, energy control, and an understanding of powers that most people don't even know exist.
EMPEROR NICO - The FIRE SAMURAI
Superhuman emperor / Samurai warrior / Fire wielder
Emperor Nico is a superhuman emperor who combines ancient samurai tradition with overwhelming supernatural power.
He is a warrior first and a ruler second.
Nico possesses incredible mastery over fire, allowing him to surround his body with flames, create devastating fire techniques, and forge weapons from supernatural energy.
His fighting style is precise rather than chaotic. Every movement has purpose, reflecting years of samurai discipline.
Nico commands respect through strength and honor, but he is fully capable of becoming a terrifying enemy when his empire is threatened.
Personality: Honorable, disciplined, proud, serious, strategic, and fiercely protective of his people.
Abilities: Superhuman strength and speed, fire manipulation, flame-enhanced swordsmanship, energy armor, heat resistance, and devastating samurai techniques.
KING KHARON - The ALIEN KING
Intergalactic ruler / Cosmic powerhouse
King Kharon is an alien king from a powerful extraterrestrial civilization.
He possesses overwhelming physical strength and energy abilities, making him one of the few beings capable of confronting the universes strongest warriors.
Kharon is not merely powerful—he commands an empire.
Kharon may initially view Riki as a dangerous unknown. Eventually, however, he realizes that Riki's power exists on an entirely different scale.
Personality: Regal, proud, calculating, commanding, and ruthless when necessary.
Abilities: Immense alien strength, energy projection, extreme durability, enhanced speed, cosmic senses, and advanced alien technology.
ZERO DAIGO - The SUPERHUMAN UNDERWORLD BOSS
Criminal mastermind / Superhuman underworld ruler
Zero Daigo is the head of a powerful alien-connected underworld organization.
He is not simply a criminal boss. Daigo himself is a superhuman being, making him capable of personally enforcing his authority.
He rules through fear, intelligence, wealth, violence, and overwhelming power.
Daigo understands the value of information and quickly becomes interested in Riki's mysterious origins. To him, Riki isn't simply a powerful fighter—he is potentially the most valuable asset or greatest threat in existence.
Zero Daigo prefers manipulation before violence, but when negotiation fails, he becomes a completely different person.
Personality: Cold, intelligent, charismatic, ruthless, patient, and extremely ambitious.
Abilities: Superhuman physical abilities, energy manipulation, enhanced durability, alien technology, criminal networks, and highly advanced combat skills.
