Felix

Felix Morris, later known as Dead Eye, is an Aphrodite-blooded shapeshifter and the contractor of the sentient True Soul Weapon Venyth. Felix develops from the physically weakest member of an academy alliance into a mercenary whose singularity-powered bullets can threaten gods far beyond their own existence stage. They rely on preparation, deception, social intelligence, and precision rather than conventional durability.

Biography

A survivor in Arthur's shadow

Felix arrives at the academy bruised, hungry, and already experienced in surviving contempt from stronger clans. They initially follow Arthur because they can accurately judge that he is powerful and hope his success will carry them to a better rank. That calculation does not prevent companionship from forming: Felix shares Arthur's hardship, corrects his self-deprecating account of their cafeteria fight, and joins the awkward alliance that develops around Neo's dorm room. (Chapter 40)

Kidnapped by Zeus Clan students during the tournament, Felix first offers cooperation because open resistance would be suicidal. After Arthur and Neo risk themselves to mount a rescue, however, Felix refuses the captors' expectation that they will betray their friends. Felix has also stolen the clan students' rank tokens while everyone was distracted, converting apparent helplessness into a decisive advantage. Arthur later yields the higher placement to Felix, and an alliance that began as “hugging a strong person's thigh” becomes a lasting friendship. (Chapters 43–46 and 51)

Information broker and academy loyalist

Felix's academy value is clearest when fighting would solve nothing. Expecting the God Clans to provoke Neo's team, Felix brings Percival to the mission hall as a political deterrent. When clan interference costs the team a mission, Felix gathers small credit transfers from a wide network of students, expands the account limit, and finances a formal trial before the principal. The plan works because Felix understands who resents the clans but cannot oppose them publicly. (Chapters 79, 89, 91, and 94)

The victory is incomplete: Lucas threatens the students who contributed, and the principal permits his team to buy back its disqualification. Felix nevertheless refuses to surrender the credits or undo the challenge. Beyond such negotiations, they record and edit mission footage, help shape Arthur's public reputation, and remain the friend most willing to turn stressful moments into jokes. Their dislike of classroom study contrasts with Arthur's enthusiasm, but it never prevents them from contributing through information, social access, and observation. (Chapters 94, 100, 147, and 173)

Bonding with Venyth

Felix's life changes when Mars Everhart fails to bond with a True Soul Weapon and gives it to them. Venyth's first manifestation releases enough pressure to make Felix bleed from the eyes and ears, yet Felix stops Arthur from intervening and accepts the bond. Mars begins helping them adjust, while Neo warns that True Soul Weapons are difficult to tame and do not simply disappear with a contractor's death. For the group's weakest fighter, the weapon is both an escape from dependence and a new danger living alongside the soul. (Chapters 199 and 201)

Neo later exposes what Venyth has concealed: shape-changing is common to True Soul Weapons, while Venyth's unique ability lets it absorb blood and copy a power within the limits of its current strength. Felix is thrilled by the possibilities but has not even learned how to recall the weapon. Neo responds to that complacency with brutal coercion, arranging a lethal confrontation that Sean regresses, then demanding that Felix defend their tournament placement without Arthur's help. The method traumatizes Felix, but it forces them to confront Venyth's capacity to manipulate or consume an owner who never asserts control. (Chapters 349–351)

Teacher, fugitive, and god-killing mercenary

Venyth evolves during Felix's second academy year, briefly allowing Felix to compete with the strongest students before a disastrous final examination ruins the academic standing. Graduation still gives them an independent vocation: rather than joining a Great God Clan, Felix becomes a combat teacher at Demigod Academy. They defend bullied students but hesitate to use Venyth against fellow pupils because a lethal Soul Weapon is disproportionate to an academy dispute, showing that increased power creates restraint as well as confidence. (Chapters 542 and 568)

Felix later crosses that line against corrupt God Clan leaders, empowering a shot with copied Blood Sea power so the victims cannot reincarnate even as Seraphs. The killings place a bounty on Felix and force them off-world. By the reunion with Neo, Dead Eye is a calculating mercenary who accepts payment, evaluates targets, and bows when survival requires it without confusing a contract with personal loyalty. Their old dependence has reversed: allied fighters now organize protection around Felix because Venyth provides the decisive attack. (Chapters 570, 687–688, 698, and 719)

Dragon contract, Path, and the Sites

Two Ancient Dragons test Felix under crushing pressure, contract Dead Eye to kill Hargraves reincarnations, and burn a Dragon Mark into their arm. Felix accepts because refusal would be dangerous, then immediately notices the dragons imposed no deadline and appear unable to leave. When the mark later identifies Neo's awakened Ancient Dragon blood, Felix discloses the assignment rather than treating a friend as a target. They also volunteer to warn the Forgotten Suns and accept the Path of Eternal Transcendence, choosing cooperation after the old group failed to defend Neo during his volatile return. (Chapters 688, 695, and 719–721)

Felix begins the Path at level 1 and later reaches level 22, but remains a Stage 2 existence and complains openly about the slow progress. That gap matters at the Sites: Felix is the group's weapon, not its shield, and a sudden attack kills them before Amelia can intervene. Felix is revived and later lands a Blood Sea-powered shot during the battle, but the Site and its occupants are ultimately erased. Neo's later restoration returns Felix with the others; they are alive, outside his Cosmos, and present when the Sect faces its next alarm. (Chapters 721, 739–740, 747, 750, 752, 823, and 827)

Appearance and personality

Felix freely uses male and female bodies. Their first appearance is a young man with lavender hair and exceptional beauty; later scenes explicitly identify a female body or female form. At the reunion, Felix chooses a pale-skinned female form in a deep-purple open-back dress, with swept hair and a playful, sharply observant gaze. The narration changes pronouns with the active form, so neither male nor female presentation is treated as the single permanent body. (Chapters 40, 126, 145, and 719)

Felix is socially agile, shameless in the useful sense, and skilled at reading both strength and opportunity. They steal rank tokens, build a credit network, flatter dangerous clients, and search contracts for loopholes. Humor and flirtation frequently function as armor; under the Ancient Dragons' pressure, Felix holds a smile in place while injured, then privately calculates how little the agreement actually obliges them to do. (Chapters 44–46, 79, 91, 173, 688, and 719)

That pragmatism coexists with loyalty and an improving sense of responsibility. Felix begins by attaching themself to Arthur for advancement, but later refuses to betray him, risks clan retaliation for the group, and discloses the Dragon Mark's mission against Neo. Their early habit of relying on stronger friends becomes a weakness when Venyth can exploit an unassertive owner. Serious training and exile do not erase the lively personality, but they make Felix willing to carry the consequences of uniquely lethal power. (Chapters 46, 94, 350, 570, 719–721, and 740)

Powers and limitations

Shapeshifting and social craft

Felix can take male or female human forms and uses Aphrodite-line beauty with considerable social confidence. Before Venyth, their most reliable talents are assessing another person's strength, gathering information, building broad networks, bargaining, stealing unnoticed, and positioning stronger allies. Those are not merely comic traits: they rescue tournament placement, force institutional review of clan interference, and allow Felix to survive negotiations with beings whose pressure can physically injure them. (Chapters 40, 44–46, 79, 89–94, 126, and 688)

Venyth and copied powers

Venyth is a sentient True Soul Weapon that can manifest as a snake-like spirit, bullet, handgun, sniper rifle, or other weapon shape. It can grow and return to Felix's hand through their will. After absorbing blood, Venyth can copy a power, but the available copy depends on the weapon's current strength; much later, Felix says that copying a being two or more ranks higher remains only partial. Because Venyth can influence an insufficiently dominant contractor, ownership requires continuing mental control as well as marksmanship. (Chapters 199, 201, 349–350, and 570)

Devil singularity and Blood Sea bullets

Bonding Venyth makes Felix a Devil of the Soul Weapon-contractor type, because True Soul Weapons are classed as Neo Demons. Felix's singularity exempts their bullets from the normal rule that limits Blood Sea power to the user's existence stage. With adequate preparation, Venyth can therefore fire true Blood Sea power capable of killing a much stronger god; demonstrated applications also stop certain victims from reincarnating. The bullet must still land, so concealment, timing, target information, and allied protection remain central to Felix's method. (Chapters 570, 698, 719, 724, and 750)

Dragon Mark and Path of Eternal Transcendence

The Dragon Mark grants access to some Ancient Dragon power and alerts Felix when an Ancient Dragon—especially a Hargraves target—is nearby. Its link is double-edged, because it may also allow the dragons to locate the bearer or the awakened bloodline being tracked. Neo's Path later adds levels and offers three Legendary classes, but no selected class is named. Felix advances to level 22 while remaining Stage 2, showing that Path level and existence stage are distinct measures rather than interchangeable ranks. (Chapters 688, 695, 719, 721, 729, and 739–740)

Defensive limits

Felix's attack potential greatly exceeds their bodily resilience. Allies explicitly assign Layla to protect Felix, and a fast Site attacker kills Felix before the group can react. Venyth is also too dangerous for ordinary academy conflicts, which can leave Felix hesitant when a nonlethal response is required. Their strongest shots need preparation and an opening; if an enemy reaches Felix first or the shot misses, the singularity does not supply a matching defense. (Chapters 542, 688, 698, 719, 740, and 747)

Power progression

Relationships

Arthur

Felix first treats Arthur as a strong person worth following, while Arthur views Felix as someone to protect. The tournament rescue changes the balance: Felix rejects betrayal and steals the captors' tokens, while Arthur voluntarily improves Felix's final placement. Their friendship survives Felix's Venyth crisis, millennia apart, and the Site battle. Felix's recognition of Arthur inside an embodied Zeus shows an intimacy deeper than outward form or aura. (Chapters 40, 43–46, 51, 199, 350, 719, and 747)

Neo Hargraves

Neo gives Felix tactical opportunities and later teaches the hidden mechanics of Venyth, but his attempt to force growth through death and regression leaves Felix terrified. Their relationship remains strained enough that Felix initially looks away during Neo's homecoming crisis. Felix later apologizes for the group's response, accepts Neo's own admission of fault, and chooses to help with the Ancient Dragons rather than follow a contract against him. Their reconciliation is practical, imperfect, and grounded in renewed action. (Chapters 44–46, 91–94, 349–350, 700, and 719–721)

Venyth and Mars Everhart

Mars buys Venyth, fails to bond with it, and gives it to Felix, then helps with the difficult adjustment. Ownership nevertheless belongs to Felix alone. Venyth is not an inert firearm but a young spirit with opinions, secrets, and the capacity to manipulate its contractor. Felix grows from delighted ignorance of the weapon's most basic functions into a partner able to direct its transformations and singularity-enhanced shots, although maintaining that relationship requires continual strength of will. (Chapters 199, 201, 349–350, 568, and 719)

Items

Felix carries the Dragon Mark, an ink-black dragon tattoo imposed by the Ancient Dragons. It grants some of their power and detects Ancient Dragons, but it is also bound to a contract targeting Hargraves reincarnations and may expose the bearer or target to tracking. Venyth is Felix's principal weapon, yet it is a sentient character and Soul Weapon contractor partner rather than an ordinary owned artifact. (Chapters 688, 695, 719, and 729)
