Background

Lin Maoxian was raised by parents who were famous adventurers. They brought him on expeditions from childhood, instilling in him a lifelong interest in exploration. When he was fourteen, both parents died during an expedition disaster; he then settled in his father’s homeland, Country Z, supported by their substantial inheritance. Over the following decade, he travelled extensively and visited numerous famous locations. 1

He maintained a daily workout routine and read adventure stories before entering Origin Space. Rather than reacting with fear after being drawn through a mirror in his home, he regarded the Space as a chance to explore worlds beyond the places he had already seen on Earth. His years of exploration are implied to be the source of his B-rank [Adventurer] talent. 1

Personality

Lin Maoxian is pragmatic, observant, and strongly motivated by opportunity. He studies Origin Space’s systems carefully, manages Source Points cautiously, and prefers gathering information before committing himself to danger. He trains specifically to control increased attributes rather than relying solely on raw power. 29 30 32

He is capable of kindness toward vulnerable people, rescuing Old Man Sun and aiding his family, protecting Xiao Zhang, and ensuring his healer teammate Shasha is compensated for missed battle-merit opportunities. 34 35 41 48 50

However, his compassion is conditional. He manipulates Kisaki Eri’s resentment toward Mouri Kogoro, uses Mouri and the police as intermediaries in his investigation, threatens Xiao Zhang into cooperation, and kills enemies without hesitation when he considers mercy dangerous. 9 17 37 38

He distrusts formal teams because he believes greed can turn allies into saboteurs, yet becomes an effective battlefield leader when circumstances require one. 32 45 48
