Background / History

Falan was an ordinary office worker from another world before awakening in an alley in Orario with no memory of how he arrived. He chose the name “Falan” because his original name did not fit his new environment. Initially homeless, he learned that Valis was essential to survival and sought stable work rather than remaining a beggar. 1

After being rejected by several establishments, Falan found employment at the Golden Ring restaurant. He worked there for three years, learning magic and combat while saving enough money to purchase a house. Although he had friends among the staff, he left without saying goodbye to pursue the life of an adventurer. 3 4

At the Adventurer’s Guild, Falan deliberately sought a fallen Familia rather than a major one, reasoning that an overlooked organization would offer better chances for advancement and less political danger. He ultimately joined the declining Soma Familia and received Soma’s Blessing. 5 7 8

His first Dungeon expedition revealed the extraordinary utility of his Life Magic. The exposure of his Backpack ability made him a target of interest to major Familias, while Soma’s disbandment of the old Soma Familia forced Falan and Soma to leave its former headquarters. 9 10 11 13

Falan later served as the Freya Familia expedition’s portable supply carrier, earning the nickname “Big Backpack.” During the expedition, he descended as far as the fifty-ninth floor and witnessed the defeat of the Frost Giant Ymir, which led to his acquisition of the Child of the Dark Elf bloodline and a sealed Spirit Weapon. 21 22 23 24

Following his advancement to Lv.2, Falan established a supply-transport contract with Rivira Town. His repeated deliveries reduced supply prices on the 18th Floor and expanded his influence among Dungeon adventurers. 30 31

After becoming captain of the rebuilt Soma Familia, Falan organized an expedition team consisting of Al, Yunika, and Liliruca. He trained them through a joint expedition, allowing monsters through his own attacks so that they could develop their coordination and gain experience. 31 34 35 36

Appearance

Falan is described as having an ordinary, easily overlooked face. He commonly conceals himself with a hood when attention surrounding his Backpack magic becomes dangerous. 13 31

• Wore a light third-class adventurer set when first entering the Dungeon:
  • Agility-enhancing cloak
  • Speed-enhancing boots
  • Special-material tunic and leather pants
  • Longsword
  • Crossbow 8
• Is physically capable of carrying large expedition stores through his Backpack rather than on his person. 21 22

Personality

Falan is practical and survival-oriented. His earliest priorities in Orario are finding work, earning money, and avoiding unnecessary risks. This caution also shapes his choice to join a fallen Familia, conceal exceptional abilities, and refuse rewards that would make him even more conspicuous. 1 5 24

Despite this restraint, he possesses a determined and occasionally reckless drive for power. Falan believes strength is the only reliable protection in a world of monsters, hostile adventurers, gods, and the remnants of the Evils. He therefore chooses rapid advancement and dangerous solo Dungeon exploration even when Soma recommends building a safer foundation. 26 27 28

As captain, he is supportive but firm. He recognizes Yunika’s potential despite her lack of confidence, accepts Liliruca’s resourceful use of a Magic Sword, and selects expedition members based on adaptability rather than reputation. 34 35

Abilities & Skills

Life Magic

Falan’s original magic is an exceptionally versatile set of storage, collection, restoration, and marking functions. 11

• Backpack
  • Initially stores up to 1,000 slots of items. 11
  • Can store filled containers as a single slot, making its logistics value exceptionally high. 12
  • Automatically collects nearby drops, including items from battles Falan did not personally participate in. 17
  • Has an approximately 100-meter automatic-collection radius. 17
  • Capacity increases by another 1,000 slots through One-Man Caravan. 32
• Clear
  • Automatically gathers dropped items. 9 11
  • Can erase everything within a designated area when invoked. 11
  • Its use appears governed by equivalent exchange: erasing a monster costs a life for a life. 14
• Recover
  • Restores an item’s durability when placed in the recovery slot. 11
• Mark
  • Marks one object within Falan’s line of sight, with potential tracking applications. 11
