| Archetype | Prerequisites | Description | Reference |
| Persona Evoker | — | Given the power to control outsiders by the gods themselves, the persona evoker seeks to control, ignore or break fate. Often using the power he is granted to go against those who aim to destroy the balance. After facing his inner demons and desires, a persona evoker gains the ability to control a manifestation of his true self as well as command the true selves of other beings. | Persona |
| Slime Rancher | — | Slime ranchers are the willing representatives of ooze-kind. They have learned how to work with non-sentient oozes, slimes, flans, and jellies and use them to further their cause. A slime rancher’s goal is to cultivate a positive relationship between the denizens of ooze and the world of men. Their hope is that the next time an adventurer encounters these creatures, they see an opportunity for positive gain, instead of an adversary that needs to be destroyed. The abilities of a slime rancher allow them to better locate and interact with ooze-kind. At higher levels, they can even summon an ooze to aid them in combat. In addition, closeness to these creatures has given a slime rancher the ability to assume an amorphous form. | My Isekai Life: I Gained a Second Class and Became the Strongest Sage in the World! anime |
