Even though he has a fiancée named Luveria, he succumbs to the temptations of women of different races who are after his strongest genes, causing his lower body to explode one after another. After receiving news of a mass outbreak of female goblins, he goes to suppress them.
• Luveria Sanctus
  • Species: Human
  • Peter's fiance. Perhaps because she was raised by a strict father who loved his daughter too much, she has no adult knowledge and honestly believes that if you pray in a cabbage patch, a stork will bring you a child.
• Lisa Alpaca

  • A proud princess of the Ogre tribe. With her strong fighting skills and cunning breasts, she uses various methods to deceive Peter in order to obtain the strongest sperm for her race.
• Mimi Alpacas
  • Species: Ogre
  • Lisa's younger sister. She has high fighting ability and decent breasts, but everyone recognizes that she is a muscle-brained girl, so she doesn't think about difficult things and just wants Peter's sperm.
• Vegan Eldriel
  • Race: High Elf
  • She calls herself the special goodwill ambassador for the Elf Village. She has pride taller than a mountain and breasts as flat as a field. Although she has a mean personality, she is easy to fool, so she is often manipulated by Peter.
• Piglet Pancetta
  • Species: Orc
  • She is Peter's attendant and caretaker. By orc standards she is the ugliest of all, but by human standards she is an extremely beautiful girl. Deep within her kind and devoted heart, a dark darkness swirls.
• Gobko N'Gier
  • Race: Goblin
  • The leader of the hobgoblin trio, the Trinity of Hell. In the midst of the goblin plague, he appears before Peter, intending to sexually devour all the human males...
• Lucy Grill
  • Species: Human
  • She is Peter's younger sister, and once she loses her temper, she becomes a berserker, unable to be controlled even by Peter, the strongest man on earth. When it comes to cheating, she has such hatred that she instantly becomes filled with murderous intent.
• Fultaria Eldriel
  • Race: High Elf
  • Vegan's younger sister. Aiming for the strongest sperm on earth, she kidnaps Peter to the elf village. She is just as twisted-minded as Vegan, and her relationship with her sister is so bad that she fights with her fists as soon as she sees them.
• Miss Rim Netherland
