It was always Elliot's dream to become an Adventurer.
He lacked magic powers to which was why society looked down on him.
His life changed when he was lost in the Forest of Gray Lake, and a book found its way into Elliot's hand. The book was a manual to become strong.
So strong that you could cross the level cap of all adventurers.
A book that contains the secret to surpass level 100.

"Thank you," the woman's face softened. She smiled and nodded at Elliot. "I have a plan on how to defeat them, but I can't risk of the others knowing who I really am. Can I ask for your help on this?"
