I can't believe I'm being called here so early.

It can't be helped.

Game Development and Operations Emergency High-Ranking Member Conference

The birth of a legendary class changer is a surprising event, right?

That's right.

I was surprised by the player who went to the Eastern Continent earlier, as well.

"The Challenger of the Behen Archipelago," yes?

He went over to the East,

but the island chain itself remains uncleared.

I'm excited to see what happens next.

I have the data here.

Operations Team

Futaba Hinako

Okay. Let's hear your emergency investigation report.

S.A. Group Leader & Satisfy Developer

Sakaeda Tetsuhiro

All right.

The player who underwent a legendary class change...

His ID is "Grid," and his real world name is Nagamine Takumi.

He's a 25-year-old Japanese user.

He was originally a level 73 warrior,

but his current level is -1.

As you can see, he is below average in terms of ability

and seems to be nothing special.

It's disappointing for the operations team, but...

This legendary class change was likely a coincidence.

A coincidence.

Are you sure?

Satisfy already has many popular high-ranking players.

For example, Kraugel, the player with the highest total rank in the game.

Or Jishuka, the guildmaster of the Tzedakah guild,

which is home to many top-ranked players and the top-ranked bow user.

They're both very talented, but normal class.

Of course, there are those who belong to classes ranked higher than normal, but...

Grid has become Pagma's Successor, a legendary class of the highest rank,

as if he were sneaking past the most popular players.

But Morpheus's prediction was that

Pagma's Tome would be discovered two years from now in game time.

We checked for bugs but didn't see any.

The system is operating as it should.

Which means he's gained a powerful class and

an advantage in a way we did not expect.

A negative level.

Grid failed the quest the minute he changed classes,

making his level -1 thanks to the failure penalty.

But that was only possible because he was undertaking a high-difficulty quest

that normal beginners under level 10 would never be able to accept.

True.

As of now, he's the only level -1 player.

But what does that mean?

Don't you see?

If he levels up twice to get back to level 1,

he'll end up with higher stat points than other users of the same level.

Can we assume, despite that, that this is all coincidence?

The world's greatest game, my ass.

All my hard work wasted!

I still have to pay the lease on this capsule, too!

Bro, you up?

Gaming again?

Don't scare me like that, Seira.

Hey, why don't you clean up for once?

And when's the last time you took a shower?

Seira, stop complaining.

Mom and Dad are worried.

Takumi, you need to stop this!

Staying up late every night! If you have so much time on your hands,

you should help at the shop!

O-Our greengrocer isn't so busy it needs help!

No excuses!

Well, it's nice that he's working hard at something...

Don't baby him!

I-I think that's enough...

Sheesh.

Dinner's on the table.

We're off to work.

Don't be late for your day job!

Okay. This'll cover my student loans and this month's game subscription fee.

As for the extra money I spent... next month...

What am I even doing?

No matter what I've done, it's never worked out.

When I was in school, I was bullied.

My first crush never gave a damn about me.

So I thought that if I worked hard in the game and got rich,

I could show them all they were wrong about me, at least a little.

But now...

all I do is worry my family.

Maybe I should quit the game and try to find something else to do.

But I did get to change to a legendary class.

Maybe I can hang in there a little longer!

What... What can I do?

Hello, this is the Satisfy News reception desk.

I was being chased by some monsters and ended up nearby,

Oh, hello?

I called you after I saw the news!

I'm the mysterious user from Yatan Temple!

and suddenly there was a huge explosion.

Can you give me your player ID?

I saw Yura-san facing off with a male player.

Minus 3!

Did you see the male user's face?

And then I can get stronger,

I can say goodbye to my loser life!
