Background / History

Perman began as a fearful novice adventurer. A little over a month after becoming an adventurer, she reached the Dungeon’s fourth floor, where she lingered for roughly two weeks because she lacked both skills and magic and feared Earth Bees. Her search for Star-shaped Fruit led her into a Food Storage, where two Guard Bees pursued her. An unnamed adventurer saved her, but Perman later returned to find the rescuer dead, with one arm severed and their head crushed. The experience left her unable to adventure alone. 33

Afterward, Perman learned healing magic and began gathering adventurer parties for safety. Her efforts eventually spiraled into the conflicts that forced her to leave Orario for several years. 33

In her earlier years, Perman was known as The Sought-After Witch: an attractive, healing-magic-using potion maker whom low-level parties competed to recruit. Her presence contributed to public duels, Familia-switching, and ultimately a War Game between two hostile Familias. She later returned to Orario more mature, rose to Level 4, and became renowned for crafting Dragon Blood and Rage Potion. 19

Personality

Perman is fast-talking, eccentric, and openly attracted to women, frequently making Xin Mu uncomfortable through teasing and physical familiarity. Despite this behavior, she is a shrewd businesswoman who makes deliberate investments in promising adventurers and materials. 10 11

Her experience in the Dungeon has made her serious about survival. She recognizes the dangers facing Zhang Ruofeng and Xin Mu as otherworlders, warns Xin Mu not to trust unfamiliar adventurers, and stresses that Orario is neither safe nor kind. 33 34

Abilities & Skills

Potion Crafting

Perman is a Level 4 Potion Master whose creations are highly effective, but commonly carry side effects. 10 19

• Crafted the high-grade healing potion Dragon Blood, which stops bleeding and regenerates tissue; it is normally used topically by high-ranking adventurers. 19
• Dragon Blood also carries concealed aphrodisiac effects and requires extraordinary physical and mental resilience when consumed; improper use can cause madness or death. 19 21
• Can make Rage Potion and mana-recovery potions. 19 34
• Provided Zhang Ruofeng and Xin Mu with expensive, custom-made high-quality potions as an investment. 11

Healing Magic and Medical Knowledge

Perman learned healing magic after the death of the adventurer who saved her. 33

• Instantly diagnosed Zhang Ruofeng’s internal bleeding despite his partially healed external wounds. 11
• Treated Zhang after he consumed Dragon Blood, including preparing diluted stamina-recovery saline. 20
• Treated Zhang after he collapsed from mana exhaustion and physical overload following the fourth-floor Guard Bee battle. 32

Combat Ability

As a Level 4 adventurer, Perman possesses speed and strength far beyond novice adventurers. 11 21

• Can move too quickly for Zhang Ruofeng to follow and snatch objects before he can react. 11 21
• Her past strength and reputation made even high-ranking adventurers wary of her. 19

Equipment / Items

• Pipe — frequently used while speaking or recounting her past. 11 33
• Dragon Blood — her top-tier healing potion with dangerous hidden effects. 19 21
• Rage Potion — another potion associated with her reputation. 19
• Minor Mana Recovery Potion — restores mana but causes drowsiness. 34

Relationships

• Evan — Perman’s patron deity; Evan is frustrated by Perman’s conduct but remains involved in treating Zhang Ruofeng alongside her. 20
• Zhang Ruofeng — customer, investment, and recipient of Dragon Blood. Perman trusts his resilience enough to ask him to protect her daughter if he reaches the next level. 10 21 22
• Xin Mu — frequent target of Perman’s flirtatious teasing; Perman also comforts, protects, and seriously warns her about the dangers facing an otherworld beauty. 11 33 34
• Flora/Fura — Perman’s allied goddess through their patron deities’ friendship; Flora’s flowers and herbs can serve as potion materials. 10 11
• Perman’s daughter — fourteen years old. Perman wishes to place her under Zhang Ruofeng’s protection because her own enemies make it unsafe for the girl to remain near her. 22

Story Role / Major Arcs

Meeting the Flora Familia

Perman first meets Zhang Ruofeng and Xin Mu at her potion shop after their initial Dungeon expedition. Intrigued by Zhang’s cigarette, she takes one and gives him an intermediate healing potion in exchange. 10

She quickly identifies Zhang as an otherworlder from his pronunciation and unusual mana circulation. After treating his internal injuries, she explains the tragic reputation of Flora Familia’s previous members and gives both newcomers high-grade potions in exchange for priority access to future work and alchemical materials. 11

Dragon Blood Incident

Zhang consumes Perman’s Dragon Blood without knowing its proper use, triggering severe physical and psychological effects. Flora reveals Perman’s history as a notorious potion maker whose products are powerful but often have side effects. 19

Perman helps treat Zhang afterward and admits that the Dragon Blood’s hidden effects were her design. His survival and awakening of Boiling Dragon Blood demonstrate the abnormal resilience required to endure the potion. 20 21

Adviser to Xin Mu

When Zhang collapses after the fourth-floor Guard Bee battle, Perman treats him and comforts Xin Mu. She recounts her own traumatic fourth-floor experience, explaining why she fears solo Dungeon exploration and once desperately sought parties. 32 33

Perman later gives Xin Mu a harsh warning about exploitation, hostile adventurers, and the danger of being both beautiful and from another world. She offers to help gather Dragon Blood materials in return for a favor. 34
