Episode 5 Story

A fierce battle unfolds near Salmaria. Although Kagami overwhelmingly dominates the enemy forces on his own, their numbers show no sign of decreasing. Just then, Alice arrives leading the town's adventurers, and Rex and his party join as well, signaling the start of their counterattack.

However, on the brink of victory, a mysterious weapon of despairing size named "Messiah" appears. As people flee in panic from its overwhelming power, Kagami stands alone against it. Furthermore, Estellar, a close aide to the Demon King, arrives and begins to reveal part of the "system of the world." The reason Kagami reached Level 999 and the true enemy he seeks to defeat are finally brought to light.

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...!
