Chapter 1: He was the crazy blacksmith guy in the finals. He lost bc his last attack which had a 98% chance to do a critical hit(an attack with much damage than normal) didn't, and decided to quit the game (Fantasy Online).
Chapter 2: Some time later, Fantasy Online (the game where he was the crazy blacksmith) shutdown.And the newer version Fantasy II was about to release/released. At this point you see him at the entrance of his university, talking about "that" (the pod to play Fantasy II) and that it finally arrived.
Cue the flashback to explain the letter of acceptance to university, with his parents telling him to stop lazing around, and to go to university, which he does, because he's scared of his mom.
Chapter3 : He starts playing the game and asks his friend which jobs are the worst and which stats are considered useless (and learns he can't play blacksmith anymore since he popularized it). He does that because he wants to play in "hardcore mode"(and wonders how to make other ppl think he's insane) and get to the top with what other ppl think is trash, just like what he apparently did in Fantasy Online since, from what i understood, before him, blacksmith was considered a trash job.
hopefully, this helped you understand the first 3 chapters a little better. :D
First few chapters are of him playing the beta version of the game with the trash job. Because he became second ranked played and that last battle was broadcasted, others realised trash jobs like blacksmith can be useful. So, he popularized it. The second time you see him entering the game as the noob is the actual release of the game with the updates and he's reset his character.
Oh thank you both so much! Now i understand it I'll continue reading cuz i dropped it at 3rd chapter (￣∇￣")
Can someone kindly explain chapter 1-3? It's seriously confusing.. 1st chapter he got the fight but losses and he's only a luck based player that has a trash job then the game became internationally trend so they're making another season and then "6 months ago" came which is literally a flashback and in chapter 2 he enters the game, what's that? Still a flashback or nah? Because at the third chapter mc said that the game is 2nd season on a call with his friend and his friend also said that many player are getting trash jobs because of him (obviously because he became popular after a fight with the necromancer) he also got flashback of his fight. So what is it? Pls explain
