Characters
Yukito's Kakuri
- Yukito Urabe (卜部 征人)
- After being thrown by his father and his cult off a cliff into the sea as part of a ritual, he initially believed he died and was reincarnated in an isekai world, until he realized that he was still alive and was instead transported into a post-apocalyptic distant future where gods do not exist.
- Yukito is immediately displeased, as he was finally hoping for death's release from his father's insane abuse; Mitama had brought him to this world to found the cult as a religion, so that she may gain followers.
- Mitama (ミタマ)
- The land goddess worshipped by Yukito’s cult. Mitama made the poor choice of Yukito as her acolyte, seemingly never paying attention to whether he was a believer in her; if it were not for her breaking down in tears and begging, Yukito would have ditched her off the bat.
- Alural (アルラル)
- A girl who first found a time displaced Yukito and has an unhealthy obsession towards him.
- Siluril (シルリル)
- The older sister of Alural.
- Roy (ロイ)
- A resident pervert and a masochist in an isekai world which revealed to be a post-apocalyptic distant future, whom Yukito befriended.
Empire

- Initially started out as a knight for the Empire. However, after being killed and resurrected by Mitama in retaliation for killing Yukito and the others whom he first befriended (save for “Clen”), his gender was swapped to his dismay.
- Atar (アータル)
- [3]
- The youngest Archon who started out loyal to the Empire, until Mitama exposed the truth about the kingdom and Loki. Atar then joined Yukito's cult and became the second God, gaining half of Mitama's power by sharing believers.

- A high ranked female knight of the Empire, who used to be a big fan of Beltrand before Mitama changed his gender.
