Ard Meteor, originally named Varvatos, was the most powerful Demon Lord in history, having defeated the Evil Gods and united the world. Overcome by solitude born from his overwhelming power and the isolation it fostered, he chose to reincarnate three thousand years into the future, hoping to live as an ordinary person. Reborn as Ard Meteor, he possesses striking black hair and deep red eyes, typically dressed in a school uniform of a white shirt, navy blue jacket, black trousers, and boots. He is frequently described as handsome. In combat modes such as Brave Demon, his hair turns pure white and his eyes glow celestial red, while a chain on his right arm emits a black aura and his attire shifts into a pitch-black costume. He maintains a calm and collected demeanor even in peril, embodying kindness, thoughtfulness, good manners, and empathy. He readily helps others whenever possible. His history as the Demon Lord grants him sharp insight into people's true intentions. Despite his heroic accomplishments, he was often perceived as dangerous, deepening his loneliness. He demonstrates determination and a willingness to risk his life to save others. In his new life, he takes a keen interest in the growth of his family and subordinates, aiding them in realizing their potential. However, he lacks common sense regarding social norms, often misinterpreting remarks and underestimating his own extraordinary magical abilities as average. He remains particularly unaware of romantic affections, mistaking them for friendship, and speaks faster when embarrassed. In his previous life as Varvatos, he was an orphan raised with Olivia vel Vine by a woman named Aisha, who taught them pickpocketing and gambling. After the Evil Gods enslaved humanity, Varvatos became the first human mage to oppose them, creating a new magical language for humankind. Many humans viewed him as a traitor, leading him to contract with the evil god Mephisto Yuu Phegor. He fought and defeated Lydia in a conflict, who later became an ally upon learning the truth of his servitude. Her death, as someone he loved, drove him to despair and ultimately to reincarnation. As Ard Meteor, he grew up in a village and found it difficult to make friends due to his antiquated social graces. He formed his first friendship by saving Ireena Litz de Olhyde from a wolf. They later enrolled together at Laville National Academy of Magic, where Ard encountered Olivia vel Vine, now an instructor and his past subordinate, who grew suspicious of his true identity. He also befriended Ginny Fin de Salvan, a succubus he rescued from bullies. During his time at the academy, he thwarted a demonic attack and was granted the title Pentagon by Queen Rosa Laville after saving her. He revealed his identity to Ireena during a battle with the dragon Elzard, who had kidnapped her due to her lineage as a descendant of Lydia and the Evil Gods. Ard possesses supernatural strength, speed, and intelligence, with magical abilities that far surpass modern standards due to magic's decline over millennia. His capabilities include spells such as Giga Flare, Mega Flare, Dimension Walk, Ultimatum Zero, and Script Magic, among others. He can wield holy swords like Demise-Argis and Vald-Galgulus, with the authority to command them even when owned by others, as the blades choose their wielders based on worthiness. By merging with spiritual entities such as Lydia's spirit, he can transform into more powerful forms like Brave Demon. His significant relationships include a deep bond with Ireena, his first friend and love interest, who descends from Lydia; Ginny, a succubus who admires him and aspires to be part of his harem; and Olivia, his adopted sister from his past life. He also interacts with former comrades such as Sylphy Marheaven, Alvarto Exex, and Verda El Hazard. Within broader conflicts, Ard confronts threats from alternate versions of himself, like Disaster Rogue, who seeks to alter the past to save Lydia—a situation Ard resolves by honoring Lydia's wishes. He deals with dangerous artifacts such as the Bracelet of Destruction and Sucking, designed to drain life force, and engages cosmic entities like Mephisto, who once eradicated all life in the world, leaving Ard in perpetual solitude until he accepted reality. Ard Meteor’s journey spans his transition from a lonely ruler to a reincarnated individual seeking genuine connection, as he navigates challenges from his past while forming new bonds in a changed world.
