“Heavy Knight”—a class fully specialized in defense, designed to draw enemy aggro and shield allies. However, compared to other defensive classes, its capabilities lack versatility, and its offensive output is so abysmally low that merely leveling up is a monumental struggle. Because of this, it is widely derided not just as “underpowered,” but as a fundamentally “defective” class.Elma was born into the noble House of Edvaughn, a prestigious lineage of “Master Swordsmen”. Yet, during the Divine Blessing Ceremony—a crucial ritual for determining the family heir—he manifests the supposedly “defective” Heavy Knight class. Consequently, he is stripped of his succession rights and unjustly exiled.At that very moment, however, Elma regains memories of his past life and realizes that this world is identical to Magic World, the VR online game he used to play obsessively. What’s more, Elma possesses a secret truth: the Heavy Knight is actually the absolute strongest class in existence!Cast out by his earl family and left to fend for himself as a lone adventurer, Elma begins to efficiently conquer this world, utilizing every ounce of his extensive gaming knowledge.
