Yamada Kenichi is a 35-year-old businessman who's basically spent his entire adult life chasing the next big MMORPG. He's burnt out on the usual grind—all those newbie-friendly quests and hand-holding tutorials that plague every major release.
So when a brand new game drops promising infinite content and a "Hell Mode" that sounds genuinely punishing, he's instantly hooked. Hell Mode doesn't just crank up the difficulty; it guts your experience gain to a crawl, but in return, there's no level cap. Real growth potential instead of predetermined ceilings.
Kenichi picks Summoner and gets reborn as Allen, an infant born into a serf family. He's got his old memories and whatever brainpower translates across lives, but that's it—no starting bonuses, no leg up. From there, it's a brutal climb. Every level requires absurd amounts of grinding, especially early on, and he's determined to figure out what the Summoner class can actually do.
Beyond the personal goal of uncovering those class secrets, Allen's working toward something bigger: getting his entire family out of serfdom. It's not just about powering up—it's about using what he gains to actually change their lives.
