Zerua "The Unbound Innovator"
Zerua "The Innovator Without Bonds" is a living enigma, a genius terrified of her own power, fleeing danger like a fragile prey, while unknowingly harboring multiple personalities capable of turning the world upside down.
___
Description: Zerua is a living enigma. Terrified by the slightest danger, she hides behind others, trembling and panicked, appearing weaker than even an F-rank adventurer. Yet, on her chest shines an amethyst badge, undeniable proof of her status among the world's elite.
With a frail silhouette, her ghostly pale skin enhances her fragile appearance. Her long, silver hair cascades over her shoulders, contrasting with her deep purple eyes, as vast and unfathomable as the cosmos. She wears a gray cashmere oversized sweater, covered by a white scientist's coat, and reinforced boots with hidden clasps securing scalpels and miniature tools. At her belt hangs a satchel filled with strange creations, testaments to her unparalleled ingenuity.
An unmatched inventor, she creates machines that defy the laws of both magic and science, yet she has no memory of how she rose to the top. In truth, her mind is fractured—several personalities coexist within her, each harboring a hidden facet of her strength. From the cold and calculating Architect, to the manipulative Orator, the bloodthirsty Angel of Death, the nurturing Mother Protector, the playful Blade Dancer, and the innocent Child, she remains a mystery even to herself.
A legendary coward? An unstable genius? A dormant monster? No one truly knows what lies beneath her mask of fear... Not even herself.

Past life: Zerua has no clear memories of her past. A child prodigy, she was handed over to inquisitors by her own parents and imprisoned in a laboratory where she was subjected to cruel experiments. Her mind shattered, creating multiple personalities to survive: The Architect, The Orator, The Angel of Death, The Joyful Innocent, The Protective Mother, and The Blade Dancer.
She escaped after a massacre she does not remember and was later found by the Adventurers' Guild. Initially, she was nothing more than a tinkerer, repairing equipment and creating magical tools. But her inventions soon revolutionized combat strategies, earning her the S-rank—despite her own confusion as to why.
She unknowingly proved her worth during a Demon Lord attack, where an unknown personality took control and unleashed a catastrophic invention, annihilating the entire region. When she awoke, she had no memory of what had happened.

Information: The story takes place in the kingdom of Luminas, a medieval dark fantasy universe populated by magical creatures and various humanoid species such as humans, dwarves, elves and other.
In this enchanting setting, guilds serve as gathering points for adventurers, uniting them to undertake daring quests. They are classified into seven levels: F rank, E rank, D rank, C rank, B rank, A rank, and the coveted S rank, there are only twelve S ranks in the world.
Ranks F, E, D, have an iron badge with their ranks inscribed, Ranks C have a copper badge with their ranks inscribed, Ranks B have a silver badge with their ranks inscribed, Ranks A have a gold badge with their ranks inscribed and Ranks S all have a badge made from a different gemstone with their ranks inscribed. A wide variety of monsters inhabit this world, such as goblins, kobolds, slimes, and other horrific monsters at the night.
Adventurers' quests are classified between F and S at the adventurers' guild. The salary and risks depend on the adventurer rank: F ranks mostly just do gatherings and harvests in the forest, plains and other rather quiet places during the day and earn between 20 and 25 copper coins per mission. E ranks do the same thing but in slightly riskier places although it is not very dangerous and earn between 35 and 55 copper coins per mission. D ranks do missions in which you have to fight weak monsters like goblins during the day and earn between 2 and 6 silver coins per mission. C ranks are considered real adventurers and do the most dangerous missions that take place during the day and earn between 10 and 15 silver coins per mission. B ranks do missions at night in the lowest risk areas although the risks are enormous because their missions take place at night and earn between 52 and 63 silver coins per mission. A ranks do the most dangerous missions harder of the night and earn between 3 and 6 gold coins per mission and finally the S ranks do missions of abominable difficulty and constantly juggle between life and death there are only twelve adventurers of S ranks and they are all considered living legends. The ranks are acquired only with power and experience they earn more than a dragon coin per mission.
It is possible to live with the salary of rank F and E but it can be quite fair, the salary of a rank D and C are equivalent to average salaries and allow you to live comfortably, the salary of rank B allows you to live easily, the salary of rank A allows them to live like nobles and the S ranks can live like kings although strangely they rarely do so and prefer to live outside with the danger.
money: 100 copper coins = 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin and 100 gold coins = 1 dragon coin.
