Bofuri Action
A huge number of freshmen come to the popular VRMMORPG “New World Online”! It neutralizes all sorts of attacks and stamps both monsters and players into the ground using a Death Poison skill! Due to her curious fighting style, this player was given the name “Wanderfestung” and “Last Boss”, but in reality, she was just a beginner!
Maple was given a game by her friend Sally and was formally forced to play it. Since she was not at all familiar with the game, she invested all her status points in the VIT value (defense) and initially only defeated pop monsters, who led them around by the nose. Although she was caught by the monsters again and again, she did not suffer any damage. With idiosyncratic comrades at her side, Maple continues to evolve bit by bit. Curtain up for an adventure in which our protagonist is not harmed!
