00:00Story begins at the Ed Vaughn family mansion, where Elemas runs through the grand hallways
00:04with his favorite adventure book tucked under his arm, excited to read it. Every time he opens the
00:09book, a strange feeling washes over him, and every moment of his life feels like something he's seen
00:15before. Suddenly, his memories flash forward to his future self battling a massive spider beast
00:20that leaps from tree to tree as fast as lightning and nearly crushes him. Then, he sees another
00:25memory where he fights alongside a warrior wielding a gigantic battle axe. The man's strength is
00:31unbelievable as he bashes a giant goblin boss with one swing and sends it crashing into the nearby
00:36shrine. Another adventurer in his memories is a blue-haired girl wearing a jester outfit who
00:41summons lightning bolts with a simple wave of her wand. She ignores gravity as she races across walls,
00:47and she also has illusion skills to create clones of herself. The last one he sees is a master
00:53swordswoman who completely dominates him with a ruthless flurry of sword strikes,
00:57which leaves him with no option besides desperately defending with his shield. After that, she does
01:02a tactical retreat and banishes from sight before she instantly appears behind him for a surprise
01:07attack. He barely blocks her strike, so she jumps back and attacks him from his blind spot. Her blade
01:13swings inches from his face as he dodges it at the very last moment. Back in the present, the day
01:18of
01:18the Edvon family's class ceremony arrives, where Elemas is about to receive the divine blessing that
01:24will decide both his class and his future as the next successor of the Edvon family. All of the branch
01:29families eagerly watch the ceremony, curious to see what class he will obtain, while Elemas nervously
01:35waits for the blessing himself. His father assures him that he has nothing to fear as the son of the
01:40Edvon family and tells him to place his faith in the god of swords. With that, Elemas closes his eyes
01:45as
01:46the priest casts the blessing upon him. At that moment, all of his memories finally return,
01:50and he realizes that those flashbacks are not from the past at all. This world is the same as the
01:56VR
01:56MMO he played in his past life, and he can't believe he was reborn inside the game. Because of that,
02:02Elemas has a massive advantage because he knows everything the game has to offer. With that in mind,
02:07he silently hopes he gets his favorite class, the Heavy Knight, which is also the strongest class in the
02:12entire game after it reaches its full potential. Heavy Knight is a pure defense class that specializes
02:18in blocking almost any attack without taking damage. But unlike the other tank classes,
02:23it is incredibly unpopular because leveling one is painfully slow, and Heavy Knight's deals are
02:28damage at the start. Because of that, the class with the strongest potential is famous as the
02:33unluckiest class. After the blessing, Elemas quickly checks his status card and excitedly announces that
02:39his class is Heavy Knight. Hearing that, his father completely loses his composure and yells that it
02:44should have obviously been Master Swordsman. Elemas freezes as he sees the look of disgust on his
02:49father's face, and he immediately realizes he made a huge mistake because of his past knowledge.
02:54He understands that the people of the magic world only value classes that are strong and easy to
02:59level up, while no one knows the true potential of weaker classes. In frustration, his father roughly
03:04grabs Elemas by the arm to inspect the status card for himself and shouts that a Heavy Knight is nothing
03:10more than a wooden training dummy with terrible stats and zero attack power. Elemas tries to convince
03:16his father that his health and defense stats are incredibly high, but his father does not care and
03:21brutally slaps him away in front of the entire family. His father shows no remorse as he says he is
03:26almost glad this happened during an Edvon family gathering, or he would have lost all his respect if this
03:32was public. Just then, Elemas sees a young woman slowly step forward, and the entire crowd stares
03:37in awe at how beautiful she is. The unfamiliar girl from one of the Branch families shyly says that
03:43she is also scheduled to receive her blessing. Elemas instantly remembers that she is Malice,
03:48the girl who used to play with him when they were children. The priest explains that the timing is
03:52unfortunate, but Elemas' father gives his permission and shoots him a look that gives the boy a really bad
03:58feeling. With that, the priest casts the baptism on Malice, and she checks her status card to see
04:03her class. While Elemas and his father anxiously wait for her answer, she turns around with an
04:08arrogant grin and says she is afraid she has taken Lord Elemas' talent, which is his worst nightmare
04:14come true. Hearing that, his father's face lights up with joy as he congratulates Malice on her class
04:19and declares that she will become his daughter from that day onward and the new heir to the Edvon family.
04:25Malice flashes an evil grin and says she always believed Elemas was far too weak to carry the
04:30burden of becoming the next family head. After that, his father orders Elemas to leave the house
04:35because he is a disappointment who will only stain the Edvon family's name with his heavy knight class.
04:40The boy watches everyone who once stood behind him walk over to the other side and make it obvious
04:45whose side they choose. He desperately tries to convince his father that heavy knight is actually
04:50a powerful class. But his father yells back that he should stop talking before he brings even more
04:55shame to the family. He warns Elemas to never show his disappointing face again, or he will personally
05:01order someone to cut off his head. Malice smirks right in front of him as Elemas is left heartbroken,
05:06watching his own father disown him and order him to pack his belongings. Later outside the mansion,
05:12the butler pities him and quietly hands him a small pouch of coins since his father barely gave him time
05:18to pack anything. While Elemas leaves his home behind for good, Malice quietly enjoys watching
05:23the former heir walk away through the pouring rain. The next morning in the city, a blonde adventurer
05:28proudly brags that the judges recognized his strength and rewarded him with a class promotion
05:33quest. On the other hand, Lucy is full of energy as she looks forward to another day of adventuring,
05:39but her party leader tells her not to become a burden during the hunt. Elemas hides his identity
05:43behind a cloak as he rides a horse cart to the inn, where he quietly thinks about how he has
05:48lost his
05:49family, his home, and everything that once mattered to him. He quickly realizes that the story of Magic
05:55World, and even the city of Rondalm, are nothing like the game he remembers, so there is still a lot
06:00for him to learn. At first, he decides to check his status card to see whether the broken heavy knight
06:05skill tree is still the same, and he is relieved to find that nothing has changed. The skill tree lets
06:11him
06:11create any build he wants. He starts with 5 skill points, and he will earn one more every time he
06:17levels up. The heavy knight skill tree is divided into two categories. Fixed class specific skills
06:22like Oath of the heavy knight, and random skills that he can choose himself. Heavy knights are mocked
06:27because their starting skill looks incredibly weak, but Elemas knows the hidden trick that makes it
06:32powerful when it's used at the right time. He already knows defense booster is a useful passive skill,
06:37and he could even spend points in the swordsman tree to create a strong fighter build. However,
06:42he decides to invest all 5 of his starting skill points into Oath of the heavy knight. A skill level
06:47up animation lights up around him, and the system congratulates him on unlocking rampart reflection
06:53at level 2 and gaining 10 defense points on reaching level 5. With that, Elemas feels confident
06:59in his build and gets excited to grow even stronger. The level 1 heavy knight heads into the forest to
07:04hunt
07:04monsters, wearing a full suit of iron armor and carrying a crude sword. Before long,
07:10as he travels deeper into the forest, he comes across the breathtaking sight of a giant lake.
07:14Just then, he senses something moving through the nearby bushes and prepares to face his very first
07:20monster. It turns out to be a giant level 2 toad called Arana. The moment he appraises it,
07:25the monster suddenly leaps at him without warning. Elemas calmly stands his ground with raw confidence
07:30and activates rampart reflection. The skill releases a powerful shockwave that blasts the
07:35poor Arana away with the force of its own attack. His body immediately lights up with a level up
07:40animation, and a panel informs him that he successfully reflected damage based on the value
07:45of his defense stat. After that, he walks over to the defeated monster and pulls out its level 2 magic
07:51stone, which has a nice shine to it, but it is not worth that much. At that moment, Elemas is
07:56startled
07:56by the sound of something crashing through the bushes nearby. He then hears a desperate voice
08:01crying out for help, so he immediately rushes toward it. Soon, he finds an adventurer who looks
08:06completely terrified and begs Elemas to save him from a massive pack of Rana chasing after him.
08:11The guy's face turns pale as he sees the monsters surrounding them from every direction, and he is
08:16stunned when Elemas calmly tells him to leave everything to him. Hearing that, the adventurer wonders
08:21if Elemas is actually a powerful veteran hiding his true strength. However, Elemas shakes his head
08:27and proudly reveals that he is a complete beginner who only reached level 2 a few seconds ago. That
08:32answer makes the adventurer panic even more because the beginner is weaker than he is. He frantically
08:37tells Elemas to forget about fighting, ditch his heavy armor, and run for his life before it is too
08:43late. Elemas already knows that rampart reflection is not a flawless skill because it only reflects
08:48damage when his defense stat is higher than the enemy's attack. With that in mind, he activates
08:53rampart reflection once again, and the adventurer shuts his eyes as the vicious Rana prepare to devour
08:59him like easy prey. But the heavy knight refuses to go down without putting up a fight. The moment they
09:04strike his barrier, every single frog is blasted away exactly as he predicted because he has memorized
09:10the stats of every beginner monster. His victory was guaranteed from the start since he bought the right
09:15armor and invested all of his skill points into raising his defense high enough that even a
09:20thousand Rana can't touch him. After that, the terrified adventurer completely loses his mind as
09:25he stares at the pile of lifeless toads scattered on the ground in front of Elemas. He asks the guy
09:30who
09:30he really is. Elemas proudly begins to introduce himself as Elemas Edvon, but he suddenly stops halfway.
09:37He remembers his father's warning that he would lose his head if he ever used the Edvon family name
09:42again. With that thought, he leaves his old name behind and confidently introduces himself instead
09:47as Elemas the heavy knight.
