Background

Link was reincarnated as an American boy after living an ordinary life as a Chinese adult. His past-life memories began returning at age six and fully resurfaced by age seven, leaving him with an adult personality in a developing child's body 2.

He discovered a private system panel that tracks attributes, skills, Evolution Points, possessions, and Space-Time Missions. By testing its rules, he learned that relevant exercise raises attributes and genuine study improves skills without the usual restrictions of age or innate talent. He trained continuously from childhood, reaching near-adult physical ability and unusually high intelligence by fourteen 2.

Appearance

Link has a Western appearance and is described as having celebrity-level looks, demeanor, and personal appeal. His ordinary height is approximately 1.89 meters 64 487.

• His high Charm attributes contribute to a strong first impression, persuasive demeanor, and noticeable presence 64.
• In Battle Mage War God Transformation, he grows to roughly four or five meters tall and manifests golden battle armor and a golden spear 487.

Personality

Link is methodical, curious, and intensely focused on self-improvement. He studies unfamiliar worlds before entering them, seeks out teachers and local knowledge, and treats combat, magic, science, and political influence as fields to be analyzed and optimized 47 289 392.

He is pragmatic in dangerous situations. He prepares equipment in advance, uses surveillance and ambushes when appropriate, and can be ruthless toward hostile opponents when he judges it necessary 66 347 394. His caution also extends to supernatural risks; in the Goblin Slayer world, he refuses to interfere with the Sword Saintess's worsening condition because he fears divine retaliation 286.

Abilities & Skills

System-Guided Growth

Link's system records his attributes, skills, possessions, Evolution Points, and Space-Time Mission access.

• Attributes rise through targeted physical exercise, study, and practice rather than remaining limited by age or talent 2.
• Skills improve only through real understanding and practical development; simply encountering information is insufficient 2.
• Evolution Points can directly enhance attributes that become difficult to train conventionally, particularly Intelligence and Perception 58.

Mechanics Domain
