In 1980, the system was applied to all humankind.

According to the system, people get levels and jobs.
Various interfaces were created, including skill windows, item windows, and quest windows.

Then cracks appeared in space, and monsters from other dimensions descended on Earth.

People call this a “dimensional rift.”

Low-level people die, and high-level people go out by killing monsters.

After years of chaos, in 1999, Lee Jun-woo was born in Korea.

Lee Jun-woo's parents were curious about Jun-woo's occupation.
No, to be precise, they were curious about his grade for a job.

The system was applied, and people were given ranks in occupations like ranks.

Grades leading to Normal, Magic, Rare, Epic, Unique, and Legend.

Lee Jun-woo's parents were normal graders, so they prayed for their children to have a better magic rate than they.

However, Jun-woo's grade was a normal grade given to 70% of the population, and his occupation was as a blacksmith.

It seems that Jun-woo's job as a blacksmith was greatly influenced by his grandfather, who was a small blacksmith in the neighborhood.

Unfortunately, a blacksmith with a normal grade had no merit.
It was as if he had no job, so Jun-woo's parents had him learn swordsmanship by paying an expensive education fee to change Jun-woo's career.

The phenomenon of a job change could affect a fixed job.

However, Jun-woo's job change did not happen.

At the age of 7, he reached level 10 faster than his peers.

The maximum average level was typically level 20, and it was rare for an average of 7 to reach level 10.

And since level 10 is a level where quests are given, Jun-woo was given the first quest in his life that year.

Jun-woo's parents, who were against lifting the hammer, forced him to lift the hammer because of the quest that happened to him.

The level 10 quest was a must-do main quest, even if he couldn't do it.

So Jun-woo picked up a hammer for the frost time and made an item with iron ore.

A blacksmith with a magic level and good eyesight in the neighborhood recognized Jun-woo's skills at once.

“He has the dexterity to the extent that it's a pity that he's normal.”

A chain quest was created as soon as he made ten items and received 100,000 gold, about 100,000 won in cash.

The number increased from 10 to 100.

There was a theory that the final reward for these chained quests was good, so Jun-woo's father actively supported Jun-woo so that he could do the quest.

Because of that, when Jun-woo finished school, he went to a workshop to do a quest and make an item.

One hundred followed by 1,000

While attending elementary school, Jun-woo made items from iron ore whenever he had free time.

The items made were sold by his mother, and an average of 60,000 won was generated a day, some of which was received as pocket money, so Jun-woo happily continued his production.

1,000, then 10,000.

“Isn't the next one a better reward for sure? Let's try harder, Jun-woo.”

Production became money, and his level rose due to production experience.

He wanted to make 10,000 when he could, but he could earn money and raise his level, so Jun-woo went on quests in his spare time.

Time passed, and in the year Jun-woo entered middle school, a large-scale crack occurred in Jun-woo's area.

The crack was a situation in which a space in another dimension was opened, and monsters poured out.

The siren sounded, announcing that the rift had opened, and screams could be heard everywhere.

Jun-woo and his parents hurriedly ran away.

Immediately behind, an ogre, a giant monster that reaches 4 meters in height, follows.

As the distance narrowed, the ogre's club landed.

Slam!

Jun-woo's father, crushed by a club, fell.

He wore armor and borrowed the power of accessories to not die in one shot, but Jun-woo's father was a level 10 normal, lower than Jun-woo.

“Runaway!”

His father cried while vomiting blood, and her mother took Jun-woo's hand with a determined face and led him.

At that moment, Jun-woo and his mother few away when they hit the green instep of an ogre that few in from the side.

Jun-woo's body few away, crashed into the wall, and fell to the floor.

The bodies of father and mother were seen being trampled under the feet of the ogres.

Thud! Thud!

And the giant cub landed on Jun-woo's head.

Bang!

As it was, Jun-woo lost consciousness.

When Jun-woo woke up, he was in the evacuation center, and a little girl was using her heel on Jun-woo.

Jun-woo desperately sought his parents there, but the parents were not at the evacuation center.

Jun-woo, who had become an orphan with common cracks, stopped doing his daily work and was stuck at home and did not go to school.

About a week after Jun-woo had been locked up in the house, the doorbell rang at Jun-woo's home.

–Ding Dong.

He wondered if the homeroom teacher had come again, so Jun-woo opened the door without much thought.

When the door opened, a man and a woman in suits stood there.

“Are you Jun-woo Lee?”

They were bank tellers, and they explained to me the debts my father owed.

It had been about a year since I had received a loan of about 90 million won.

Given the timing, it was a loan when Jun-woo bought the armor, gloves, and boots he received for his birthday.

Since we live in a society where monsters can easily kill people at any time, solidarity guarantees between families were implemented.

So Jun-woo had to pay of this debt, and if he had sold the armor, he could have paid of the debt right away.

They suggested selling the equipment Jun-woo was wearing to pay of the debt, but Jun-woo could not sell the last gift his parents had left him.

The interest on the debt didn't increase, so they withdrew on the condition that they repay some each month.

And Jun-woo picked up a hammer and started manufacturing again, earning money.

Because it was compulsory education, Jun-woo also went to school and made money.

As the days went by, the n
