Chapter 1: Prologue
About 10 years after the release of a game, the community of players was bound to become bored to the point of accumulating some level of brain rot.
At that time, due to the lack of new content, players began engaging in peculiar behaviors, such as wearing only a piece of underwear and clearing dungeons in the shortest time possible. Some even resorted to replaying the existing content over and over again until they had sucked it dry.
Among those players, there were those who even dared to go for the so-called 'shit-tier characters' that no one else would touch...
And I was one such person.
The game was called 'Aether World'. It was originally released as a dating simulation game marketed towards women, but thanks to its flashy combat style, infinite content, and myriad of playable characters, this unique game had surprisingly attracted more male players.
Some of the characters were easy to play yet boasted the best performance, while others were completely garbage, with a level of difficulty so extreme that not even 10-year veteran players dared to touch them.
That's right.
And I was the pervert who had been playing the character 'Baek Yu-Seol', the one with an atrocious level of difficulty, worst performance, and more weaknesses than advantages, for a whole 10 years now. To be honest, I couldn't even comprehend why such a character even existed.
In the fantasy world of Aether, where everything revolved around magic and everyone could wield it, Baek Yu-Seol was the only one who couldn't. Thus, the character had no popularity whatsoever and he was treated like an extra with almost no presence.
Of course, it did not mean that Baek Yu-Seol couldn't use any magic at all.
He could use only one magical skill called 'Flash.'
