Atobe Arihito

Arihito Atobe was once an overworked Japanese salaryman who died in a tragic bus accident alongside his coworkers and was reincarnated into the fantasy world known as Labyrinth Country. Forced to adapt to this new environment where all reincarnators must become Seekers to survive, he registers for an adventure class. Hoping to find a practical and stable role, he writes "Rearguard" on his application, unwittingly unlocking an unprecedented, extremely versatile class that grants him outstanding defensive, offensive, and recovery skills. Drawing on his past corporate experience, Arihito acts as a level-headed and reliable leader who prioritizes the safety and synergy of his party, which includes the demihuman mercenary Theresia and other unique companions. He possesses a gentle, diligent, and modest nature, choosing to bolster his allies from behind rather than chasing individual glory, which earns him the deep trust and affection of those he protects.
