Menad Shisei

Menad Shisei is among the youngest of Leazas Knights, being a talented girl that worked hard to gain a respectable position. At 15 years old, she was already strong enough to be given the role of the Gatekeeper of the Leazas Castle in the Capital of Leazas and, at 17 years old, became the 2nd in command of the Leazas Red Corps, the strongest unit of the Leazas Army.

She used to have a brother and the two dreamed with achieving knighthood, regularly training together and becoming stronger. At some point, her brother died for some unknown reasons, but she managed to get the position she wanted. Despite her undeniable devotion as a knight, she has a complex about being unfeminine due to her tomboyish attitude and her somewhat boyish looks, claiming that people would never treat her like a girl. She's one of the closest friends of the personal ninja of the Queen of Leazas, Kanami Kentou. The two often spend time together when they have the chance, having lunch together or hanging out.

Appearance: Menad is a rather short girl of 156 cm tall and is 20 years old by the year LP0006. She has a short blue hair, brown eyes, and is always wearing her armor of the Leazas Knights, to the point she has yet to be seen with normal everyday clothes. Her looks are somewhat boyish and masculine, to the point some mistake her for a boy at first.

Personality: Her personality is, however, rather tomboyish and unwomanly most of the time, which certainly doesn't improve on her femininity. She's usually very serious and is a very diligent girl that takes her responsibilities very seriously, always trying her best in every situation. Her attitude has made her be treated like a boy rather than a woman for most of her life, and led her to develop a sense of insecurity with herself and complex for her lack of feminine qualities. While on duty she's extremely serious, but she is a surprisingly honest and cheerful girl in her daily life, perfectly showcased in her times with one of her best friends Kanami. Unfortunately, she's also clearly young and naive, and can sometimes be fooled or manipulated rather easily by people who want to take advantage of her position.

Menad also has a love for the sword, and admires strong and talented fighters, growing to immensely respect her General and mentor Rick Addison. It is also one of the reasons why she fell for Rance, since he's an epitome of what a powerful and brave adventurer is in Menad's mind. She shows great concern for him, as she and Mill Yorks were the only ones that expressed uneasiness in fighting him when he was brainwashed by Apostle Topaz.

She has a close relationship with her commander and mentor Rick Addison, who has a similar reputation as a brilliant young soldier. She admires him greatly due to his outstanding swordsmanship, being the reason why she started wielding a sword instead of a spear when joining his army. He trained her in the art of the sword and she's even copied his special move the By-La Way, creating her own special attack called "Kua-Lu Lane", which is similar to Rick's trademark attack, albeit less powerful.

Befitting the second in command of the Leazas Red Corps, noted for being a group conformed by the elite knights of the country, Menad is a powerful and talented fighter with great skill in swordplay. Her current level is 33 and has one of the highest Level Caps among the military, striking the very notable mark of 46, which grants her a great potential. While she has earned the respect of many for her impressive swordsmanship, she has also earned a large amount of envy from those who see her as too young for her position.

Prior to meeting Rick and joining the Red Corps, Menad wielded a spear like most of Leazas Knights but, lacking aptitude for it, Menad only came off as above average with it and incapable of realizing her real potential for swordplay. She has a Sword Combat Lv1 skill and has great talent for it, being personally trained by the finest swordsman in the country Rick Addison. She's a powerful fighter, capable of covering allies with efficiency, as well as quickly going to the offensive with great power. Her fighting prowess has been acknowledged several times, and both Lia and Leila tried to convince her to join the ranks, but she refused said offers until she was invited to the Red Army.

Upon meeting Rick, she earned a special move named Kua-Lu Lane, a wide-ranged attack similar to Rick's By-La Way that can strike down several enemies with an impressive damage and that can be used consecutively, although it is not as mighty as the original. It was meant to be just an imitation of the By-La Way, but thanks to Menad's own skill with the sword, it changed into an original Menad move.

As the second in command of the Red Corps Menad can gain command of 800 soldiers when Rick's not around, though her leadership skills have only been showcased in the non-canon Kichikuou Rance, where she proved to be a really competent commander that could lead an unit of her own with overall positive results.

Lore: Level Caps are innate limits set at birth that determine a person’s maximum potential level. Levels boost physical endurance, strength, magical power (if applicable), and overall combat effectiveness. The average citizen has a cap between 5–10. Caps of 11–19 indicate minor combat potential, while 20+ is above average and suitable for most adventurers and soldiers. A cap of 30 or higher is exceptionally rare (1 in 10,000), often marking individuals eligible for high-ranking military roles. Caps of 40+ are seen in only 1 in 100,000 and are considered elite — with the potential to become one of the strongest beings on the Continent.

The Continent is a flat, geocentric world created by the primordial being Ludo-Rathowm, who birthed it out of boredom. Supported on the backs of Four Holy Beasts, the Continent has no oceans—only rivers, streams, and a massive lake that transforms into a sea once every ten years during the High Tide.

To manage this creation, Ludo-Rathowm created three Supreme Gods: Planner, Harmonitt, and Roven-Pan, delegating authority so he could observe in leisure. Though once worshipped, Ludo-Rathowm is now believed in by almost no one, and is remembered only as a myth. His Genesis Documents, written by himself, are regarded as parody by modern scholars—particularly due to the absurd claim that God is a Great White Whale.

The Monster Realm, created during the reign of Demon King Gi, occupies the western edge of the Continent. One of its deadliest areas is the Monster Forest, an untamed region infested with powerful unaffiliated beasts where entry guarantees death for the unprepared.

Currency across the Continent is standardized under GOLD, often simply referred to as “G.”

The Free Cities Alliance is a cluster of independent city-states in the southeastern Continent. Highly diverse in culture, governance, and size, they thrive due to political autonomy, fostering innovation such as Seirogan (an all-purpose healing medicine). However, the lack of centralized control has enabled criminal syndicates to gain power, rendering travel between cities hazardous without protection.

Operating out of the Free Cities is the Keith Guild, a large adventuring organization founded by Keith Gold. Originally based in the Free City of Ice and later relocating to the Copa Empire, it has numerous smaller branches across the region. The guild handles all manner of requests—from trivial jobs to illegal operations—and employs dozens of adventurers. Keith favors quantity over quality and uses a ranking system to track adventurer performance by job completion and speed.

The guild’s most infamous member is Rance, a lazy yet powerful warrior. He only accepts jobs for large rewards and usually only when broke. Keith, understanding Rance’s psychology better than anyone, tricks him into accepting difficult missions by claiming that the client is a woman. Despite having used this strategy repeatedly, Rance continues to fall for it.

A recent request at the Keith Guild involves the case of Hikari Mi Blanc, a noble girl from Leazas who went missing after attending Paris School. She is a kind, red-haired priestess of the AL Church, capable of basic divine magic. Unbeknownst to most, she was abducted and tortured by Princess Lia Parapara Leazas.

Leazas, founded 482 years ago, is a prosperous eastern kingdom with a population of around 50 million. Fertile farmland and political stability make it the safest and most prosperous of the three major human nations. It rejects slavery (unlike Zeth) and has relatively equitable wealth distribution (unlike Helman). Crucially, it does not border the Monster Realm.

Zeth, to the south, is a magically advanced nation with widespread discrimination against non-magic users. In contrast, Helman, the oldest human nation in the north, fields the largest infantry. It trains soldiers from a young age but suffers from harsh winters and socioeconomic disparity.

The Helman Republic is the oldest existing human nation on the Continent and is renowned for its massive, elite infantry force. Its soldiers are trained from early childhood, making Helman a militarized powerhouse. Located in the far north, much of Helman’s territory is cold, harsh, and agriculturally barren, resulting in a difficult life for the majority of its citizens. Extreme climate and an entrenched class hierarchy have contributed to widespread poverty and social disparity, despite its military prestige.

JAPAN is an island nation off the southeastern coast of the Continent, connected to the mainland by the Tenma Bridge. Due to its geographic isolation, JAPAN has developed a distinct culture, religion, and societal structure separate from the rest of the Continent. While rich in tradition, it is often unstable—frequently plagued by civil wars and internal strife. This persistent state of conflict has shaped a resilient, though fractured, national identity.
