Profile
Kumazaki Nori is the exiled emperor of Norian Empire.

Early days
Approximately 1800 years ago, Prince Nori fought in a civil war when he was a captain of city guards. During a fighting retreat to cover a routed main detachment, the prince's right eye socket was pierced by a cursed thrown spear and he succumbed to the injury. It took him another 100 years to manifest his new body into mortal world. The trauma was carried to his new reincarnated body, causing the prince's future bodies to suffer from constant astigmatism.

For the following 1600 years, Prince Nori reincarnated into different bodies and continued his effort in reuniting a shattered Norian Empire.

Reunification of Norian Empire and Court Revolt
Emperor Nori was betrayed and struck by a magical lighting that casted by his court magicians during his crowning ceremony after the reunification of empire. The powerful lighting spell had fragmented his soul into two separate pieces and banished into the Otherwise World.

The Adventure of Otherwise World
One piece of the souls had landed at the southeastern region of Otherwise World and manifested into a male body without full memory of his past lives. The impact of banishing had severed his initial four limbs and landed in a deep forest. Due to severe bloodloss, he succumbed and manifest into another body and the trauma of losing limbs caused him to have shaky arms and legs in future.

He had wandered at that region for almost a hundred years, learning the local languages and cultures while he looked for his other missing piece of soul.

During years of adventure, he travelled with his friends, Aizz The Sorcerer, Ness The Magician, Zeffy The Priest, Tensou The Knight and Torte The Occultist. He was given a new name "LeBear" due to his habit of constantly greeting people in "Bonjour !" (The first local word he learnt from a random French traveler) and has the capability of transforming into a black bear, dancing around and entertain others.

The Search for the Missing Soul Piece
The current streaming entity is the male piece of the broken soul landed on Otherwise World while the female piece of broken soul had landed somewhere on the world and went missing. Despite century of effort in looking for the missing piece of his soul, there is no sign of her.

In 2022, Nori suddenly gained the power of manifesting a feminine body of his own after a nap, indicating the missing soul piece is very likely to be in a female mortal body.
