＜Introduction

A super-sized newcomer appears in the popular VRMMO "NewWorld Online"!
The newcomer is a giant who nullifies all attacks and uses lethal poison skills to thoroughly devastate both monsters and players alike!
The player, who is called a "walking fortress" or a "last boss" because of his unusual fighting style, is just a beautiful beginner girl!
To tell you the truth, Maple had just started playing the game at the recommendation of her friend Sally.
She lacks knowledge of the game, and has assigned her status points to VIT (defense) to the extreme, so at first she was at the mercy of even the zakko monsters,.......
Ouch ......!
The monster can hit you and do zero damage, and you're lucky enough to have a one-hit-kill counter skill!
With the addition of new friends, Maple continues to grow and develop.
A no-damage adventure is about to begin!
