Synopsis of Hell Mode: The Hardcore Gamer Dominates in Another World with Garbage Balancing

“Level up even when offline”? That’s not an ‘easy mode’ game, that’s just an AFK game!” The online game Yamada Kenichi played religiously shuts down its servers, leaving a void in his heart. He searches for a new game to fill it, but everything he finds is too easy. The kind of game he loves—the kind that’s punishing enough for players to want to spend thousands of hours on—no longer exists. “What is this? You’re invited to a game that will never end.”

Kenichi stumbles upon an untitled game, promising an unparalleled challenge with unprecedented potential. Without hesitation, he selects the “Hell Mode” difficulty. And lo and behold, he is reincarnated into another world as a servant. Now called Allen, he sets out to unravel the secrets of his mysterious Summoner class. Without the aid of guides or online forums, he will have to grope his way to the top of his new world.
