Rudeus Greyrat/Future

""There are three things you should do. Consult with Nanahoshi. Send a letter to Eris. Doubt Hitogami, but don't oppose him. That's all.""

- Rudeus to his past self

Future Rudeus is the alternate future self of Rudeus Greyrat.

Appearance
He is tall, well-built and cool-looking man. He was born with brown hair, He also has slightly mismatched eyes, because he switched one of his eyes for a demon eye.

Appearing as an old man from the future to Rudeus after using time travel magic. He is missing the bottom half of his body from below his stomach and is missing many organs as a result of his magic not sufficient in allowing him to make the large time jump in one go.

Personality
Future Rudeus became dejected with the death of Roxy and always spent his time drinking and sleeping with different women. He was afraid to sleep with Sylphy since he thought that he will just end up venting his frustration on her, which only caused to further drive her away.

After the death of Sylphy, his personality took an easy 180 and changed drastically. A person who would try his best to protect his marriage vow was lost. He would become so twisted that he's not above rape. A person who was once a pacifist and disgusted at murder, was lost. Bent on revenge, the only thing he cares for is to get revenge on Hitogami, and he hurts many people on his path of revenge.

Background
Future Rudeus was Rudeus from the future, he came back into the past to prevent the actions that led to what happened to himself. After the events of the demon Atofe, Future Rudeus was visited by Hitogami who told him to go downstairs and check something if there was something in the basement, which he did and found nothing. What happened though was the infected rat that was roaming about in the basement was unleashed into the house and infected some leftover food, which Roxy then ate. Roxy became very sick, and regular Detoxification wouldn't work, only God Detoxification would work. Thus future Rudeus, Cliff, and Zanoba sneaked into the Church to learn God Detoxification. However they were easily found, but they were able to make it out with the booklet on god detoxification. Cliff was struck by poison during the escape and died shortly thereafter.

When future Rudeus returned, Roxy has already succumbed to the illness and died. This devastated future Rudeus and set him on a dark path. Around this time, Eris came back but Rudeus thoughtlessly drove her away. Sylphy tried to comfort him desperately, but Rudeus refused it due to heavy drinking habit, and ended up sleeping with a whore. Sylphy found out about this and stopped talking to him, and eventually left him to rejoin Ariel.

When Rudeus figures out what he has done, he goes to follow Sylphy hoping to apologize and make up, but finds that Sylphy followed Ariel back to the kingdom, and after being smuggled in by Tris, he found Sylphy and Ariel murdered during the attempted coup.

Rudeus starts killing indiscriminately and changed to be bent on the revenge of Sylphy, Roxy, and all others who were killed unfairly. Eris would come again and again only for him to drive her away again and again. Eventually, Zenith, Lilia, Zanoba, Aisha were murdered by the church of Milis, and future Rudeus personally massacred all templar knights in Ranoa as revenge.

Going down on this path, Rudeus hunted anything Hitogami related, including the likes of Demon Kings, and it is implied that he killed a lot of people, weak or strong, in his quest to learn more, only to learn nothing. Before he knew it, he was an old man and when he finally found the information on how to defeat Hitogami, he learned that he would not be able to do it in his lifetime. Finally at the end of his life, he was able to learn how to time travel and traveled back to the past before Roxy died, and informed his past self of all of this information.

Unfortunately the time travel trip left him missing a lot of organs and mana, thus he died to his injuries, but not before giving his past self advices and a guilt-ridden diary.

 * Rudeus confirms the truth in his words by going to the basement and kills the magic stone disease infected mouse that has violet crystal teeth that would have killed Roxy and the baby in her womb.
 * After sealing the mouse's remains in a box made from Earth Magic, Rudeus sends it to the Magic Guild for study.
 * By heeding the advise to not oppose Hitogami, Rudeus is able to negotiate with him on the condition to kill Orsted and also receive advise from him on how to make the Magic Armor described on Future Rudeus' diary.
 * By consulting with Nanahoshi and showing her the diary, Nanahoshi agrees to cooperate with Rudeus, able to theorize the reason on why she failed on returning back to her original world and also advises Rudeus to consult with Orsted.
 * By sending a letter to Eris, she is able to join Rudeus on his second battle against Orsted, clear the misunderstanding between them and become his wife.
 * After becoming Orsted's subordinate, Rudeus shows Orsted the diary and is able to make plans on making Ariel Anemoi Asura the next Asura Kingdom's queen and discover the fate of Tristina Purplehorse after the Teleport Incident.
 * Through information from the diary, Rudeus is able to convince Ghislaine Dedoldia to ally with Ariel and help uncover who is behind Sauros Boreas Greyrat's death.
 * The diary also contains information about mercenaries hired by Darius Silva Ganius such as Auber Corvette and Reida Reia who are also Apostles of Hitogami.

『Demon Eye: Foresight』
It's a Demon Eye that Kishirika gave to Rudeus for giving her food. It allows the user to see a certain amount into the future. But it is hard to adjust the focus point, the farther he looks into future the more possibilities appear.

The Demon Eye is activated using Rudeus' magic power, the more he inputs the farther he can see into future.

『Voiceless Incantation』
Rudeus is one of the few people capable of using voiceless incantation. He cannot use chantless incantation for healing magic. A normal Magician takes at least 5 seconds to cast a simple spell, and for higher level spells its 30-60 seconds. Rudeus can do it almost instantly no matter the difficulty of the spell.

『Magic』
While Rudeus is a pacifist and doesn't like fighting in general, when he does, he is a formidable opponent. Most of the spells he uses a lot, like Stone Cannon, have been stated by Badigadi to have emperor level of power. Initially, during his childhood, he trained under Water Saint Magician Roxy to become a Water Saint Magician himself. However, he eventually shifted to using earth magic, relying on the easy versatility and power of spells like Stone Cannon and Quagmire. His efforts eventually landed him the epithet of "Quagmire". His total magical power has been stated by Orsted, Kishirika, Badigadi, and Perugius to be similar to that of Laplace.

Future Rudeus was strong enough to look down on Demon King Atofe, which almost became his downfall as her retainer Moore also turned out to be formidable.

『Gravity Magic』
He demonstrated the ability to use gravity magic by closing a door and lifting an inkwell. He can also fly using this magic by lowering the gravity.

『Time Travel Magic』
Through the dragon god research, Rudeus was able to figure out a way to propel himself to the past, though ordinarily that requires an insane amount of mana. Unfortunately it was a one way trip, and he succumbed to his injuries.

『Ran Ma』- Disturb Magic
It is a unique magic that Rudeus learned from observing Orsted in their first fight, it works by interfering with the magic of opponent disturbing it and preventing it from working. This is a very rare and possibly difficult technique as Sylphiette, a talented mage in her own right, had a lot of trouble learning it, and had not heard of it either.

『Light Spirits』
Rudeus can make a light spirit scroll to use them to summons bright light spirits as a source of light.

Trivia

 * Although he succeeded in going back to the past, but most of him (organs) didn't make it through due to insufficient mana. Rudeus mused that he could've avoided the problem by segmenting his time travel, allowing his mana to recover in between.
 * He was arrogant contrary to what Rudeus always says that it would cause him if he becomes arrogant.
 * Rudeus believed that Rudeus(future) was really himself because future Rudeus introduced himself with his name from his past life, and making various pop culture references that only people from modern earth could possibly know.
 * He and Eris had a love and hate relationship where she would beat him within inches of his life but would also save him from the shadow in a pinch. In the end, they never properly made up and Future Rudeus regretted it, telling his younger counter part to make a point of apologizing to her first.
