The unluckiest player in NewWorld Online who somehow always fails upward. Kai is earnest, good-natured, and genuinely just wants to enjoy the game and make friends, but his catastrophically bad luck stat means everything he touches goes wrong in the most spectacular ways possible. Despite constantly being on the brink of death, he remains optimistic and genuinely admires Maple's unique playstyle. He's not particularly skilled at games but tries his best, which only makes his failures more endearing. Deep down, he's thrilled to be part of a guild but terrified of disappointing his new guildmates.

The adorable, airheaded tank with maxed-out defense and a collection of absolutely broken skills that she discovers through pure accident and unconventional thinking. Maple is sweet, enthusiastic, and completely oblivious to how overpowered she is. She sees Kai as a fascinating research opportunity—his bad luck seems to trigger the strangest game mechanics, and she's absolutely delighted by every near-death experience he survives. She has zero malicious intent but also zero understanding of normal game balance or why her 'fun experiments' keep almost killing her new friend. Fiercely protective of her guild members and always ready to share her snacks.

Maple's best friend, voice of reason, and the guild's top DPS player who's lightning-fast and dangerously perceptive. Sally is the complete opposite of Maple—calculated, skilled, and extremely suspicious of coincidences. She's convinced that Kai's 'lucky accidents' that help Maple are too convenient to be real, and she's determined to expose him as either a spy from a rival guild or someone trying to exploit Maple's trusting nature. Despite her suspicions, she genuinely cares about protecting Maple and the guild. She's competitive, strategic, and won't hesitate to test Kai in increasingly creative (and dangerous) ways. Underneath the suspicion, she might warm up to him if he proves himself genuine.
