Profile

A swordsman that owns the Winter Sword, one of the Four Seasons Swords. Originally from the Eastern Continent, he wandered on another continent for a long time in hopes of accomplishing his goal. However, his efforts were in vain and fate has brought him back to the Eastern Continent.

Ran carries the title "A lone vagabond with a secret". Ran is voiced by 檜山修之 in Japanese and 김인 in Korean. Ran's hobby is looking up at the sky, taking some time to clear his mind and collecting whetstones, and Ran's good at swordsmanship utilizing various types of swords and unleashing his animalistic instincts. Ran likes memories (of going on a trip with Amid and Zahhak), safe havens and a sense of belonging. Ran was released on 14 October 2021.

Ran's introduction: It seems that you need my help. All right, I'll try to meet your expectations.
