What is
the story about?
The plot
follows Elma, a 15-year-old boy from a prestigious lineage of Sword Saints.
During his Divine Blessing Ceremony, he obtains the class of "Heavy
Knight", considered in this world as useless, flawed, and typical of
cowards. After being stripped of his position as heir and exiled mercilessly,
his future seems over.
However,
this fantasy world is exactly the same as the video game he used to enjoy in
his previous life. With her knowledge as a veteran player, Elma knows that the

this great advantage, the protagonist will embark on a journey to level up
quickly and become the ultimate warrior.
