INTRODUCTION:
The “Heavy Knight” is a defense-specialized class that draws enemy attacks to protect allies. But even among defensive classes, its abilities lack versatility, and its offensive power is too low to level up properly. For this reason, it was branded not merely a “disadvantaged” class but an outright “defective” one.

Born into House Edvaughn, a lineage of Master Swordsmen for generations, Elymas manifested the “defective” Heavy Knight class during the Baptisma—a crucial ceremony for the heir—and was stripped of his position as next head of the house and unjustly exiled.

However, in that moment he recovered the memories of his past life and realized that this world was identical to Magic World, the VR online game he had played obsessively before his death.

And Elymas knew. That the Heavy Knight was the strongest class of all!

Exiled from the Count’s household and now a lone adventurer, Elymas leverages his past-life knowledge to the fullest, beginning his efficient conquest of this world.
