In the thrilling world of virtual reality gaming, Kaede Honjou, a novice player, embarks on an unexpected journey when she accepts an invitation from her friend, Risa Shiromine. Together, they dive into the immersive universe of the VRMMO game, New World Online, with Kaede assuming the persona of Maple. Averse to pain, both in reality and the virtual realm, Kaede devises an unusual strategy. She invests all her points into defense, becoming an improbable "mobile fortress." Unfamiliar with the game's mechanics, her choice leaves her unable to use magic, making her movements sluggish, and even the game's rabbits pose a threat. Yet, her unique path grants her the "Absolute Defense" skill, an unexpected boon from maxing out her vitality points. Furthermore, she gains a deadly counter skill, capable of dispatching enemies in a single strike. Despite her unconventional approach, Maple's poisonous skill invalidates all attacks and overcomes every barrier. She becomes a paradox within the game, a novice player wielding immense power. With her peculiar abilities and her determination to avoid pain at all costs, Maple sets off on an extraordinary adventure, embracing her irregularities and redefining the rules of the game. The narrative follows this unlikely heroine's adventures, capturing the essence of her journey in a world where strategy and power intertwine in the most unexpected ways.
