A Gamer Gets a Second Chance in His Favorite RPG
The story follows Zephyrus, a gamer reincarnated into the world of Dan-Katsu, a legendary RPG featuring more than 1,021 classes and over 400 possible endings.
Thrilled to experience the game world firsthand, Zephyrus enrolls at Labyrinth Academy, where the main story takes place. He quickly obtains the powerful Hero class, only to discover that a class considered a joke in his original world—the Muscle Warrior—is regarded as a legitimate and effective choice in this new reality.
He also learns that the game’s most challenging dungeons have never been conquered. For Zephyrus, this means he can explore the world as though starting a brand-new game.
Determined to prove the value of unconventional classes, he gathers allies, helps his reserved childhood friend become an Alchemist, and turns a selfish princess into a Saint. With a team of powerful classes assembled, Zephyrus sets his sights on conquering the dungeons.
