Hello again, readers!
How was the story? Hope you like it! If you have any critics and suggestions, kindly please leave me message on which part should I fix or improve for the future chapters (and possibly future novel onward). I'm eager for your input as the readers. Hopefully I can be better in the next!
Again, thank you so much for following the journey of Ieza Horgan and Naruwa in this story. Now let me cut the chase. This is the right time for me to reintroduce all the characters – included every physical feature and their traits in this novel titled "Beyond Astral World".
First of all, I would express my gratitude for Fyeurasia and Nemina. They constantly helping all of my translations, character discussion, fixing my grammatical error and anything related to the making of this novel.
Spoiler ahead, please close this Author Note if you haven't read the first 7 chapters!

We will start with both of our protagonists below:
Ieza Horgan
He carries the European-Irish face features. He is 15 years old - despite moving to the past timeline, which is his new present timeline as for now. He has undercut blonde hair with blue eyes, white beige skin and mesomorph body. He is very smart, charming, persistence and always thinking far ahead for every obstacle he met. He carries smart personality. Always thinking far ahead and decisive when it comes to clutch situation. He masters the fire, earth, water and wind magic, although recently he learned time magic from Kartika Village. We will see how he does all of that in the rest of the journey.
Naruwa
He carries genetic of European-Asian face features. He is 13 years old - despite moving to the past timeline, which is his new present timeline as for now. He has fluffy black hair with green eyes, slightly dark brown skin and ectomorph body. Although he is growing and living together with Ieza Horgan, most of his traits are the polar opposites. Talk about bold, arrogant, easily gets emotional on some things, and hardly being able to see a bigger picture of every obstacle he met in the journey. Despite that he is a master when it comes to wind magic. He has yet to study more about the recent magic he acquired together with Ieza, the time magic.
Maybe you guys wondered why Naruwa is included as the protagonist.
Despite all of his traits are mostly negative. He recently changed himself once he saved Rika during his finding on Aiden's document (and what Aiden did toward Rika and her family). He is the person who cannot stand still watching someone in the trouble, especially after the incident in his previous timeline on Shaeri, the maid he loves so much back then, deceased while protecting Horgan brothers from the danger of Herga's house raid. Naruwa's goal finally shifted from just walking the life in his ordinary way, to the path of saving his companion from meeting the ill fate.
Second question from you as the reader, why Naruwa doesn't bear Horgan family name in it?
Naruwa is an adopted son in Horgan's family. It is mandated not to bear the family name on the citizenship rules from Kingdom of Akgardia to determine someone is adopted or not. Which sounded weird even for me but unfortunately that's how it is.
Now for the supporting characters below:
Shaeri
In the previous timeline before time travel. Shaeri is introduced as a petite maid in the Horgan Family. She carries the genetic of European-Asian face features. She is a 20 years old lady, and she has curly hair with brown eyes, light brown skin. She has decent body height compared to Ieza and Naruwa which is basically 3/4 of her body height. She is caring and patient girl despite how hectic her schedule – and how often the occurrences of Horgan brothers quarrelling each other in the house.
Gerrard Horgan
In the present timeline (before the house raid incident), Gerrard is portrayed as a middle age man despite he is 70 years old age. He has the features of a tall gentleman with impeccable posture, clear skin and deep-set gray eyes. His dark hair was parted in the middle and combed back tightly so that every hair was in its proper place. His features were well formed and he had the appearance of being a well-born gentleman. He is the husband of Hesse Horgan, and the father of two children, Ieza Horgan and Naruwa. At his age, he has attained the status of High Wizard in Technology Council of Akgardia. He invents so many magic devices, mainly for agricultural production in Enkarsia Republic. What makes him having such feat is because of his ability to strengthen the bond between Kingdom of Akgardia and Enkarsia Republic thanks to his inventions. As for his magic strength, he is masterful in Ice magic and his peak of Ice magic was being shown in the chapter 3.
I really hope you noticing something familiar with those features of Gerrard Horgan...
In the past timeline (which is aftermath the time travel), he is portrayed as a fine young gentleman on age 20. Ieza is the true spitting image of him despite having black hair. Same face feature, skin color and even the same eyes (except Ieza has abnormal left eye with some distorted clock in it...)
Hesse Horgan
In the present timeline, Hesse is portrayed as womanly figure despite she is 65 years old age. She has pale white skin, red curly hair, silver eyes and slim figure. She is the wife of Gerrard Horgan, and the mother of two children, Ieza Horgan and Naruwa. At her age, following Gerrard footsteps, she also attained the status of High Witch in Technology Council of Akgardia. She took her part in implementing formulas for the creation of magic devices. She mastered the art of Water magic since her teenager days.
In the past timeline – the same timeline aftermath the time travel, she is portrayed as beautiful petite girl on age 15. This character will be appeared on several chapter onward. Yes, the same face feature, same skin color, same eye color.
Rika
She is introduced on chapter 3. She is portrayed as a little girl in the past timeline. She has the face feature of Irish young girl with short blonde hair and blue eyes. She is having similar traits as Shaeri does, except the part where she is pretty clingy. Which explains why Naruwa would protect her from the bad guy such as Aiden. Despite her young age, she is born with time magic in her arsenal, yet has to learn its true potential.
Felicia
Felicia is introduced on chapter 4. She has the face features of Irish-Asian. She has long brown hair with blue eyes and white pale skin. Her origin is rather mysterious at first, then later revealed that she is the true daughter of King Borealis VII. As for her traits, she is categorized into introverted type of girl. Much like Ieza Horgan in comparison.
Gunzo, Lilia and Robb.
Gunzo is the tall-muscular man despite he is at 40 years old. He has the face features of Polynesian. He has short red hair with brown eyes and dark brown skin. He is the authoritative person. His line of work is mainly to preserve the ancient knowledge of time magic and to maintain the prosperity of his village, Kartika Village. He holds the status of the Chief of Kartika Village since he was young. His word means absolute command for his people in Kartika Village, yet he leads the village with courage, kindness and compassion.
Lilia is Gunzo's wife. She is portrayed as a petite young woman, around 30 years old. She has the middle eastern face feature, with long black hair, black eyes and light brown skin. She is always appeared in Gunzo's hut, the largest hut in the village.
Robb is Gunzo's trusted aide in Kartika Village. He has face features as European, around 25 years old. He has undercut black hair with amber eyes and dark brown skin. He carries the same trait as Gunzo, which he always delegated by Gunzo to carry out mission related to preserve the knowledge of time magic.
Phew, that's a lot of supporting characters. Now let's move on to other important characters.
Olford Reagan
All I can say he is fairly mysterious old man. He is introduced in early chapters and playing a major role in this story. He has the face features of Russian, with gray hair, scar on his right eye area, black eye on the left eye and white beige skin. He is the type of calculated, ambitious and cautious man. All I can describe him for sure is that he's playing the important role in the Kingdom of Akgardia.
In the House raid incident. He is later revealed as the villain of the story for carrying the murder mission, alongside with Herga Talon as the Military General of Akgardia.
Herga Talon
Manipulative is his middle name. He's born with superior genetic, as if he's blessed by the Goddess of Bellum herself. He has undercut black hair with amber eyes and dark brown skin. He rose to power in Military and Security Council of Akgardia. His manipulative nature is something that only Olford can handle, other person wouldn't be able to read his true intention.
Farrell Stevan
He is introduced in chapter 1. He is quite tall-muscular man with mesomorph body. He has pompadour black hair with blue eyes and white beige skin. Despite leading on Public Relations and General Affair Council, he isn't the type of communicating with other person - other than receiving command from Olford. In the latest chapter he has great bond with young Gerrard.
King Borealis VII
When it comes to political person, it all starts from the King himself. Born in Borealis Family, He has nothing but all the legacy carried from previous kings and queens of Borealis. King Borealis I built this Kingdom of Akgardia for unknown reason, yet become the largest and busiest Kingdom of all earth. King Borealis VII is 50 years old, carrying himself the same traits and duty as his predecessors – wise and calm demeanor. Only his daughter and the other person know his true nature.
Now I think all the characters have been mentioned above. Let's get back to the main story, shall we?
