Episode 1 Story

In a world where strength is determined by one's born role, and humans and demons are in conflict. Koji Kagami is a member of the weakest "Villager" class who has somehow reached level 999. In a cave he visits to defeat monsters, Koji encounters the Hero Rex and his party, who are targeting a demon girl named Alice. Koji uses his overwhelming power to protect Alice from the Hero's attacks, completely dominating them with his unconventional strength. He then leaves Rex and his party with meaningful words.

Introduction

Earthclear is a world of swords and sorcery. In this world, people are born with a specific level and a predetermined role.

From Warriors, Martial Artists, and Priests, to Mages, Thieves, Merchants, Hunters, Shamans, Kings, Sages, and Heroes—there are many callings. Yet, there is one role that boasts the largest population, lacks any real power, and is considered the absolute weakest of them all... the "Villager".

One day, a Villager parent and child find themselves under attack by a monster. Just as danger closes in, a young man swoops in elegantly and dispatches the beast with effortless ease, leaving the rescued pair utterly astounded.

"Koji Kagami, a Villager... Level... 999?!"

Having reached the absolute pinnacle of Level 999, the Villager Koji Kagami chooses to defy his predetermined path in life. Alongside Alice, the daughter of the Demon King who stands at the apex of the demon race, the two cross paths. Together with their companions, they set out to achieve coexistence between demons and humans.

In a world where both sides are destined to be in conflict, what exactly is the true mechanism of this world that awaits them...!
