Shiroe was an engineering graduate student who became trapped in Elder Tale, a game known for its intricacy and depth. Despite being introverted and cautious, he had been playing the game since middle school and possessed extensive knowledge of it. Although he may come across as socially awkward, Shiroe does not dislike people. Rather, he is fiercely independent and wary of those with ulterior motives. He helps those in need and has a soft spot for beginners, such as the twins Tohya and Minori. Additionally, he can be quite protective of those he cares about, a trait that Nyanta used to tease him about.
