Sagara Soma is a hardcore gamer, who spends basically all of his time playing or thinking about games. Since he was a child, he's thought of how great it would be to really live in a game world. One day, when he breaks a promise to his cousin Maki in order to play video games, his wish comes true. "New Communicate Online," also known as "Neko-Mimi-Neko," is the game he was playing at the time. Neko-Mimi-Neko is well known for its trick quests, occasional unfairly high level enemies, and many bugs, all of which combine to make players die over and over again. Now that Soma seems to literally be a starting character in the game world, will he re-spawn after death, or actually die? Luckily, he knows just about everything there is to know about the world of Neko-Mimi-Neko, so he may be able to make the unfairness in the game work to his advantage!

He was hit by a car when he tried to save a girl and was reborn as Lex, the most powerful character in the early stages of the RPG world! He starts off at a staggering level of 50! He’s an all-rounder well equipped with skills from all areas and he’s even good-looking! This was an absolute big win! Or so one might think… but Lex was actually just a minor character in the early stages, like those early SR cards in online games or the old paladin with the silver spear in SRPGs. Even if you’re very strong at the start, you’d soon become completely useless! This is the story of an ordinary person looking for a “hero” who somehow ends up becoming the hero who saves the world!

Popular for being filled with bugs, the virtual-reality game New Communicate Online (a.k.a. Nekomimi Neko Offline). A die-hard fan of the game, Sagara Souma, is sent to the game world from the power of a mysterious device. Though surprised by the sudden turn of events, Souma conveniently knows the laws of the world. Mastering every bug, using the game’s logic against it, he is soon known as “Maverick Swordsman Souma.”
