The game GFOO, or more precisely the kingdom of Elysium, that is kind of a city state more than a kingdom, got transported to another world known as Lutah by the wish of Maumar and Zolotifa.
During their stay in Lutah so far, they discovered that the world known as Lutah has at least five different realms on it that make the whole world. Those are:
God realm.
Higher realm.
Middle realm.
Lower realm.
Abyss.
Even though their names might say otherwise, the three primary realms, those being the higher; middle and lower realms, are all equal and no race that was placed in one of them is higher in status by default than the other race. However, most of the denizens in the middle realm don't seem to adhere to this fact, and thus they believe that those beings placed in the lower realm are below them and those placed in the higher realm are to be admired.
People of Elysium discover very quickly that their average power level is much higher than the elites of Lutah in general. This makes the people of Elysium dominate all that oppose them during volume 1 with only a few minor defeats, be it individually or for the country itself.
Elysium manages to capture a beast king, cause a civil war on opposing kingdom, bring forth a truce for the demons, acquiring an high ranking ally from the space faring star elves, bring down the human pet program in the dark elf territory, make a whole dwarven capital unlivable and hence cause their whole country be in chaos, cause civil unrest in the draconian islands, winning a tournament and few other achievements.
Now let's get down to listing places and people you should know.
Elysium: The home of those from Odysseium.
Ludwig Freigner / Faust Ilumnos: The king of Elysium and the main character. He isn't smart by any means, but he isn't a blundering idiot either. He used to work as a construction worker, but he ended up killing himself due to his quilt of living longer than his little brother. At first he thought that he would only be in Lutah for a maximum of 72 days, but when it came clear that it wasn't going to happen, he accepted his fate and learned to live with what he has at the moment.
He ended up becoming a thryv'nith, a person blessed/cursed by the power of the abyss because he wanted to become stronger, but he wasn't aware what kind of power he would receive.
He was captured at the finale of volume 1 by Zolotifa, who turned out to be a woman known as Tifa from before he was transported to Lutah. He was put in a dream where he and Tifa lived many, many lives together as a family. Eventually, Lud broke free and reconciled with Tifa.
Adam Freigner / Roland Varshu Ilumnos: Lud's deceased little brother who was the main driving force to build Elysium. He may or may not have become timelooped by his own wish of making the game GFOO become reality in one way or another. This loop causes the Odysseium, the world in GFOO, to become reality through the concept of tulpa.
Zolotifa: A person who firmly believes that she is a psychopath, be it because of her past or due to her twisted personality. She made a gamble with Maumar that she will succeed in becoming his blood daughter and get her wish of reuniting with Lud. She had to endure 10 000 years worth of existence in her current form before Maumar would let her wish become true. Her plan of being in an endless dream failed in the end, but she found that she can start anew with Lud in their current world.
Lenlylelu: One of the original pioneers of Elysium. Tod's daughter who is also a bit of a genius of her own. During her youth, she captured child predators for fun of it. Since she knew how to defend herself, Tod didn't mind her baiting old men even when she was a minor. Police didn't know how to deal with her antics.
Tina: One of the original pioneers of Elysium. She hates Tod's guts for branding her as "Gay" even though she is bisexual.
Tod The Supreme Thruster of The Rod Supreme of Awesomeness: One of the original pioneers of Elysium and Illi's master. A guy who would constantly thrust his hips with his minimal gear, basket on his head and shout "Fear me!" in a manic lunacy on a constant basis. He was literally a genius.
He also is Lenlylelu's father in real life
Li Last / Argus: A member of an ancient race from GFOO. Last of his kind and a special officer of Elysium.
He has a white long hair that shimmers in blue and red and similar coloured eastern clothes. He has two white horns coming from the top back of his head and a tail that appears to be made from some sort of crystals. His eyes are shimmering lightly like reddish and bluish diamonds, sometimes showing purple and pink color from the combination. He also has pointy ears and an ear ornament on his right ear.
Note: Old as hell.
Serene: A small girl born from the Mythril Tower's sudden appearance in Lutah, making Li kind of her dad in Maumar's eyes.
This girl doesn't speak, but people around her seem to understand what she wants and what each of the people around her want.
Alisisius Sinnerreign: New name Sisu.
Queen of Rythcoth, a nation of draconians. Appearance wise humanoid, but they have lizard tails and horns.
She is unable to speak, but instead, she uses telepathy like power to communicate in short distances
Her eyes are like sapphires, she had snow white parts of her hair as well as bright blue parts. Her horns are like small white antlers, her tail is mostly covered in snow white scales with few blue scales here and there. At the end of her tail, there is a puff of hair that is mostly blue but has some snow white parts on it as well. She wore an expensive garment worn by Rythcoth nobles that resembled those noble women in eastern cultures. The garments were mostly white with some blue parts here and there. There were some small ornaments in her outfit and she wore a golden bracelet on her left hand as well as a golden ornament around her neck.
Due to realizing that she isn't as needed as she thought in her country, she joins Elysium as Sisu, an apprentice of Li Last.
Lizbeth Cardigan: The first battalion commander.
She was the first unit Lud pulled from gacha and raised her to be an excellent unit. She is a demon, nightmare demon to be exact, who specializes in guarding people. She has short black hair, violet eyes, horns protruding from the sides of her head and a tail that was unnecessarily long but slim.
Zenith: A maid that takes care of Lud's every need while he is in Elysium. An exemplary maid who can brew tea and coffee masterfully. She is a demon and she is close with Liz.
Brutus Lidweg: The second battalion commander.
He is a dragon that was in humanoid form. He has long red hair, fiery red eyes and a handsome face. He is in charge of any aerial combat, but he was also a beast in the ground as well. The character setting for him was that he was first disgusted by humans, but warmed up to one when they visited his lair repeatedly without hostility.
Angie Lidweg: Angie is a powerful frost dragon who is married to Brutus the primal fire dragon. Angie is smarter and more powerful than Brutus, but since Brutus was first to arrive at Elysium, he got to be the commander of the second battalion. She doesn't contest the official titles, since she knows that she has more respect over the second battalion even with being lower in rank than her husband.
Sarias: Sarias is a water dragon who is basically the book keeper of the second battalion. She doesn't have romantic interest towards Brutus and she is oblivious to Angie's worries. She is on the side of equal rights, but she doesn't try to break the hierarchy that exists in the army. Generally speaking, female dragons were stronger than male dragons in their original world.
Lucky: A sky blue dragon that works together with Urk Riitti. He cut his back legs off and chooses not to heal them back due to his pride as a dragon. He has four wings and a long slim tail that could make a type of whistling sound when he wanted to as he flew
Marchosias: The third battalion commander.
Her battalion specializes in single combat and due to that reason, her battalion is one of the smaller ones. In one to one combat, she excels over all other commanders, but she lacks a bit of tactical thinking. She is therianthrope and has long silver hair, yellow eyes, wolf ears and tail. She was one of the gacha pulls.
Marora Riitti: Urk's wife has long black hair and wears clothes typical of the nomads from her homeland. The edges of her garments are slightly fluffy with fur. Her eyes are nearly completely black with a hint of blue. She usually maintains an expressionless face and carries a huge sword on her back. Her class is "Warrior," and she is part of the third battalion.
Illi Tipten: The fourth battalion commander.
A dwarf who specialized in manufacturing equipment for the other battalions. He has brown hair and beard, brown eyes and is obviously short. The setting for him is that he is quite fond of beings NPCs call "True ones" which refer to the players. He was one of the NPC apprentices in a famous shop used often by players, but he was considered an eyesore in that shop for certain reasons.
Ballin: A human who is one of Illi's apprentices and a person who humiliates the dwarf king in a smith off.
Urk Riitti: A runemaster, as well as merchant, who comes from the Odysseium human ethnic group known as runemen. He has dark bronze colored hair and cheap clothes. His eyes are like amber and his merchant smile is cheeky yet captivating. He is part of the fourth battalion. He has three wives, Marora, Lilji and Alona.
Lych Rit: The fifth battalion commander.
A full blooded elf that specializes in long range physical combat. Lych has short blond hair, blue eyes, long ears and is often mistaken to be a woman. He was an NPC ranger in a certain elf village who was convinced to join Lud's legion.
Tony: A quite tall and muscular dark elf who works in the 5th battalion. He uses a giant bow and accidentally saves people after hitting things beyond his line of sight. Never gets credit for it and doesn't seem to care.
Elisia Longwood: The sixth battalion commander.
Her battalion specializes in magic combat, both short- and long range. She is an ancient elf that has long blond hair, blue eyes and a bit longer elf ears. Her setting is that she seeks non violence options first but will resort to violence when necessary. Adam claimed that she has sadistic and masochistic traits, but Lud has no proof of either. She was an important quest giver in one of the storylines considering elves. Rest assured, another NPC took her place.
Alona Riitti: Urk's wife. She has short silver hair and she has silver eyes. She wears clothes that typical mages in Odysseium wore and she wears glasses for her short sightedness. Her class is "Mage" and she is part of the sixth battalion.
Quet: A dryad that works with the 6th battalion. She is quite shy, but when she is doing something she is good at, she can become quite energetic.
Magnus: He is a magical entity. A magic orb that has sentience and floats on the air with the help of his magic. He belongs to the 6th battalion and is quite arrogant.
XU-02: The seventh battalion commander.
He is an automaton designed by Illi. He is 2,5 m tall and is quite bulky. He has 100 lesser units called Fingers that get stronger the higher the number goes and each Finger's are referred to using feminine pronouns. Xu often calls the Fingers his daughters and the Fingers sometimes call him father. The Fingers themselves don't belong in the Legion system. Xu's battalion specializes in defensive measures. Even though Xu is mechanical, he is quite fond of nature and cute things despite his looks. Adam described him as "Gentleman".
Yi: 1st finger of Xu.
She is the one that has the least advanced tech that the rest of her kin has. She has an elven appearance and metal arms. She is said to be the hardest working finger out of all of her kin. She is the winner of the tournament in chapter 6 and she manages to win over Weiss' respect with her sheer determination.
Sishijiu: 49th finger of Xu.
She wears the typical female ninja attire.
Wushi'er: 52nd finger of Xu.
She wields a giant sword that is basically twenty swords attached to each other.
An Liushiqi: 67th finger of Xu and one of the named ones.
She is wearing something similar that Chinese emperors wore once upon a time, but edited enough to look a bit feminine and be easy to move in. She is holding a fan with her left arm and a golden blade on her right. She has the appearance of a human, but her right ear was clearly mechanical. She keeps her eyes closed almost all the time.
Tuzi Liushijiu: 69th finger of Xu.
She wears a bunny girl outfit, has long snow white hair and red eyes. She has real bunny ears and puff. Quite ferocious once she gets to business.
Qishiliu: 76th finger of Xu.
A gremlin of a girl with short blue hair, fox ears and tail. Though she can be annoying, her speed is enough to solve most of her problems.
Jiushiliu: 96th finger of Xu.
A girl with generally a big body, decent sized breasts and long black hair that also covered her eyes. She has quite a submissive personality but her attacks back a heavy punch.
Song Bai: 100th finger of Xu.
The best of Xu's fingers who aims to look as if she hasn't done any effort to keep her position as the best finger.
Bai has platinum blond hair that ends around her neck with the exception of the back which reaches her bottom. She has two lines of hair that change color from moment to moment and they are situated somewhere between her forehead and the sides of her head. Her eye color is somewhere between completely white and golden yellow, varying between the two from moment to moment.
Bai has pointy ears like elves and they have three leaf-like glass ornaments attached to both of her ears. These ornaments are mostly see-through, but they have a random wave of light running inside the ornament in random intervals like a gentle current that has the colors of the rainbow.
Lili Ruitup: The eight battalion commander.
She is a dark elf that commands a battalion specializing in defending and countering against any type of magic or curse. Her battalion often works together with the sixth battalion, however, Lili and Elisia don't get along in private. Lili has long dark hair, violet eyes and she was one of the gacha pulls.
She doesn't want to show herself too much, but she can't help herself to be the one to go on missions assigned by Lud himself. So basically she wants to keep a low profile while doing an exemplary job as the main anti-mage.
Tear Ti: The ninth battalion commander.
An arachne boss in humanoid form who's battalion specializes in information gathering and espionage. She has short black hair and violet eyes in her humanoid form. She was a boss character in one of the dungeons that had a low completion rate even for end game players. Tear has an unique way of getting information from people that may or may not involve magic that affects the mind. Tear can manipulate shadows and move inside of them as she pleases. She is also in charge of keeping an eye out for the tenth battalion commander.
Lilji Riitti: Urk's wife. She has pink hair that is in a ponytail and was decently sized compared to her body. Her eyes are also pink. She wears clothes that show her waist, thighs and arms, but they have similarly fluffy ends like Marora's clothes. Her class was "Thief" and she is part of the ninth battalion.
Cassandra: Cassandra is a lizardman, a humanoid with some scales, horns and a scaly tail. She works for the 9th battalion and she is quite forgettable.
Molly: She is from a race in Odysseium known as poppa. A race that keeps looking like a child even as an adult, but they have crystal embedded in their foreheads. An enthusiastic member of the 9th battalion.
Owl: Also known as Mr. Old Feathers.
A scrawny looking beastkin who has few feathers coming out of his hair and he had feathers coming behind him. His outfit is full of his feathers that he uses as decoration. He might be able to grow a beard made from feathers. He works with the 9th battalion and is quite rugged.
Sarah Ylfianos Rosten Ech Alifana Setto Livendig: The tenth battalion commander.
A demon raid boss that specializes in causing terror. Sarah is considered to be one of the hardest known raid bosses in the entire game. In her humanoid form, Sarah has long dark red hair, red eyes, and a single horn starting from the left side of her head.
She lost control over herself when doing a mission in Rucksta, and this made her want to train hard and learn to control her emotions from Li. It seems to have worked so far.
Nock Loodin: One of the ministers in Elysium who is focused on the ocean.
Weed Jonion: A minister in Elysium focused on agriculture.
Rohan Goldenswan: A minister in Elysium focusing on trading.
Sylvi Elsether Von Ålaq: Highly regarded minister in Elysium.
Weiss Eriana Pen: She has the highest place in the ten sword saints of Rucksta. This means that she is the beast swordsman in Rucksta and the one of the more compelling measures for the difference between Lutah and Elysium.
She ends up joining Elysium after the battle of Rucksta's capital Ruckterra.
Altair: At least 10 000 year old star elf who has 9-pointed stars in her eyes. She is considered to be one of the most powerful people in all of Lutah due to her mastery over special magic. She is quite respected due to her long time of service.
She is the founder of Aquila guild which represents freedom with its good and bad sides.
She has an adopted son named Algol, who has developed a quite severe case of mother complex.
Altair is the one who gave Lud the opportunity to become stronger, but she refused to tell him of the risks.
Shalaphinar Embershthir: She is a member of the phoenix race in Lutah and she is on a journey to create everlasting sanctum that will last even if the sun consumes it.
She only speaks in her native tongue that is known as flametongue. She either needs a translator or Serene with her whenever she converses with someone. Elysium only has Serene and Altair who can help her with this.
Her last incarnation and Altair seem to have some sort of connection, but Shalaphinar didn't get any notes regarding that from her past incarnation and Altair is unwilling to spill the beans.
Abyss: A place that is outside of the timeflow of the rest of Lutah. Entering it will drain you of your essence and leaving back to whence you came is quite difficult, due to the abyss being connected to each moment, past and future, of the world outside the abyss.
Abyss allows the essence known as Aether to flow across Lutah. Aether is a vital part in Lutah's existence, but too much of it is fatal to most mortals.
Maumar: The most powerful being in Lutah.
He is the willpower of the abyss manifested who is said to control all of the abyss and it's monsters.
Truthfully he only wants two things. For her blood daughter to call her father naturally and not by force. And for the current sphere of time not ending when it is set to happen.
His age is quite unquantifiable due to the nature of the abyss.
He has long white hair that drags behind as he walks, he has black eyes and is quite tall. His emotions are all gone and he talks in a monotone voice almost constantly. His eyes are the epitome of the term "dead fish eyes"
Mätuk: Mätuk is a white raven that has been sent to fix the future where Lud's personality is drained by the abyss. He helps Lud with his thryv'nith powers and makes sure that the future where he becomes a hollow person doesn't happen.
He doesn't know how to pronounce words correctly, so he speaks in a rather unique way. He sometimes says words in abyssan for some reason as if he thinks people around him understand what he says.
He is quite proud, but he sometimes falls for his raven instincts.
Nemesis: A wood masked man with no eye holes but glowing parts representing the eyes to suit the mood of the wearer. The mask also has a crack where the mouth is to represent how the wearer moves his mouth. Back of his head is covered with a white mane and at the top of his head are two antennas.
He is the leader of the abyssal swarm and he is hellbent on bringing Lutah to its early grave.
God realm: A realm where gods reside in and where all the aether in Lutah is produced. Only gods can live there, as the amount of aether there is too much for most mortals to handle.
Atkoosa: He is one of the gods that were the builders of Lutah. He represents all of the suns in Lutah and he is quite the people person. Considered to be one of the more powerful gods and is de facto leader of gods at the moment.
Meridiem: A god of contracts who supports Elysium with their magical contracts that are sworn under her name. If someone signs that contract and doesn't act accordingly, she can smite righteous fury to whoever is the violator.
Ortettia: A god that may be the god that governs ice and absence of movement. She has appeared to have lied to Maumar.
Otzal: A god that may be the god that governs crystal like objects. They have appeared to have lied to Maumar.

He made a theme song for Maumar that was used when Maumar appeared at a meeting one time.
Trixtitkitus: The god of all dragons, as in, their creator. People of Rythcoth might claim that she is a male god, but she is indeed a female god.
Ao: The god of stars and the patron god of the star elves. She also holds the authority over Space to some degree.
She is hell bent on fighting against the abyssal forces, but she seems to hold some feelings for Maumar himself before he became the host of the abyss.
She built the TzuluzT by ripping out her eye and making it a planet of sorts that can spy on the movements of the abyss. Maumar claims that she built it because she longs for something.
She has set something in motion, but it is unknown what it is.
Rucksta: Kingdom of beastfolk or beastment, whichever you choose. A kingdom that houses the tournament in chapter 6 and the country that hunts humans for sport.
Jeremaja Von Lerailu Tuck Rucksta the III: King of beast kingdom of Rucksta.
He was the man who started a war against Elysium to purge the human ruled nation out of the middle realm's map. He is quite selfish and abuses his power. For example, he forced his way down to Weiss' pants.
Soramaja Von Lewden Tiret Rucksta the II: A son of Jeremaja. A prince of Rucksta.
After his father's abduction by Elysium, he became the temporary king. In his father's place, he continued to war with Elysium, which brought his country to wage a civil war.
Michaela La Lutto Lien: The 7th of the Ten sword-saints of Rucksta.
She loses to Lych at the end of chapter 2 and eventually joins the assault against Elysium. At the end of volume 1, she is imprisoned and being re-educated in Elysium.

Rythcoth: A draconian queendom that the dragons once called their home before abandoning it in retaliation for the racism that the people of the middle realm had towards humans.
Izet: The queens voicetress who basically controls the whole Rythcoth. She is the most likely suspect to replace Sisu when she was abducted, proving to Sisu that Izet didn't care for Sisu's well being.
Demon countries: Countries inhabited by demons that have separated into three separate countries. Lastias, Restias and Vortias. There is also a city state called Togethertias where the summit between the three was held.
Riana Altras: The queen of Vortias and the one who invited Lud to join in the summit.
Eleanor Olla Ot Liavenic Altras: A princess of Vortias that we first met during the tournament.
Ronald Maclevan Lorem II: The king of Lastias who lost to Lud in a dick measuring contest.
Charles Diatrich Julian Mich: The king of Restias who also lost to Lud in a dick measuring contest.
Goldrock: A dwarf country that kind of works how CCP operates. Keyword, kind of.
Kingjewel: Capital of Goldrock and the place that is now placed under the nightmare curse placed by Liz.
Edmund Diamond: King of Goldrock and the leader of all the dwarves. He took a challenge to prove that humans cannot win against dwarves when it comes to smithing, but he lost miserably. In an attempt to hide this shame from the rest of the world, he attempted to kill those who humiliated him, but instead, he doomed people who dared to sleep in Kingjewel to have constant gut wrenching nightmares.
Mr. Kurt: Basically the dwarf king's bitch boy supreme.
Lux: The queendom of the fallen angel race.
Lotus Bloom: "The actual guild master of the middle realm". She tried to force Li to accept the attempt to build an adventurers guild branch in Elysium, but due to Lotus not wanting to sign the contract that Li offered, Li simply refused to accept the adventurers guild.
Rusteror: The dark elf queendom that has the last remaining star elf tech that is functional in Gloctus (the planet where they are). The last remaining major star elf tech in Gloctus is the star elevator called Babel 3. By activating it, the group that came to investigate from Elysium finds themselves in Babylon 5.
Diane: A dark elf matriarch that appointed Lucina Lirel a hero status.
Lucina Lirel: Someone who Yi fought in the tournament.
Erelt: A dark elf noble who sees Altair and the group come to the capital after their visit on Babylon 5. Erelt offers the group to join a party where they later discover the truth of the human pet program. A program that forces breeds disfigured humans to the point they can barely be called humans. Altair captures the people at the party by cutting their spinal cords enough so that they become paralyzed. Then Erelt faces the punishment that Lud chose for him.
Unified Star Elf Government (U.S.E.G.):
Swan: Robin's mother and Altair's former secretary. Her current status is deceased.
Robin: She is a star elf who has been working to be Altair's secretary as long as she can remember. Currently the person who is managing most of Aquila guild's matters.
Regulus: Proud member of the council. He represents the hierarchy of things in USEG. Current status unknown.
Vega: A sucker for a good story. She does everything she can to be able to witness an outstanding story unfolding before her eyes.
She has pink eyes and pink hair that is in a twin tail. The twin tails are quite long.
She often hides herself with her magic to spy on people she thinks will show her a magnificent story.
Vega and Altair seem to not get along so well, but both have verbally agreed to be what they call "frenemies". This connection was born due to the nature of Aquila guild, which Altair is in charge of.
Vega herself is the founder of Lyra guild and when she isn't spying on someone, she reads books and reports provided by her guild members.
She shares a birthday with Altair, which is 7th of July.
Her current status is unknown.
Algol: He is an adopted star elf child of Altair and a well respected council member that controls the Perseus guild and the Order of Algol. His right eye is gold and left eye silver and teal split. He also has medium sized silver hair that is neatly kept.
His mother complex is quite profound and Altair doesn't seem to bother with him regarding this issue. Other council members try to bring Algol to the "light side" but Algol is hell bent on staying in what they call the "dark side".
No one wants to enter Algol's private room due to them being pretty sure what they find there. Altair just stopped going to Algol's room at one point when he started showing weird flags on him.
Zolotifa would comment on Algol's obsession with Altair by saying "At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we have a case for the Oedipus complex here."
His current status is unknown.
The outside: All the things that aren't in Lutah, be it Odysseium or earth.
Aileen Freigner: A mother of Adam and Ludwig Freinger. She appears to Lud after returning from Maumar's experiment to have a blood child of his own. Unfortunately, she has become an unstable mess and Maumar is forced to send her back to the death governed by her original world.
Olaf Freigner: Father of Lud and Adam Freigner. For one reason or another, he wasn't part of his children's life after a certain point and he feels quite regretful over it. When Lud meets him again, Olaf is just an old man who has no choice but to work for the rest of his life.
Parent: The one who created Li Last's race and created Odysseium, the world of GFOO. A tall glassy humanoid figure whose body was transparent and eyes could see something bright moving inside of it. It was hard to distinguish where the body and the surrounding separates.
Kalpa: God of death and rebirth. She is one of the gods that entered Odysseium and watched as her kin destroyed the rell's sacred lands. She and Argus ended up loving each other, but she met her end at the hands of her own kin while trying to protect Argus.
