"I-is that him?"
"D-don't look directly at him"
"How can this idiot be the chief's child?"
Despite the servants' whispering, the child of about 3 years old continued to walk nonchalantly through the corridor of the village chief's residence.
The child wore a wide smile.
However, anyone could see that he had a very fragile, if not poor constitution.
'I failed all my quests on purpose and I crafted as much equipment as possible...'

[By leaving the negative level, you have received the base stats of the legendary class Descendant of Pagma]
"It was really torture for me to lower my level even further to -10 and then raise it back to 1."
The lower the level, the more skill points you get, but Claude hadn't anticipated the real negative effects on his physique.
He remembered that Greed had penalties because of his low stats.
Yet nothing was visually reflected on his physique in the very realistic game of Satisfy.
Despite his sickly appearance, Claude had always chosen this path because of the future advantages.
Satisfy's system imposes a penalty of -2 levels per failed quest, except when the player is around level 10 and below.
But Claude started at level -1 like Greed, the former holder of Pagma's legacy.
He was able to lower his level at will, to benefit from the 10 stat points for his future level ups.
A loophole in the system.
That's why Claude failed all his quests voluntarily to get the -2 level penalty down to level -10, and then climb back up to level 1.
'Despite this tempting advantage... I gained the reputation of an extremely sickly child.'
Once he reached level -10, Morpheus warned him to avoid continuing to dig.
Normally, he shouldn't risk anything since the minimum skill point per stat is 1.
However, Morpheus had detected too advanced a deterioration of his constitution.
Claude had inadvertently forgotten that he wasn't in the Satisfy game or in the Overgear manhwa.
He recommended he complete quests.
Unfortunately, he underestimated his bad reputation with the village people.
In the Jura forest, might makes right.
Because of his weakening due to his extremely low stats, the other ogre children and adults instinctively despised and avoided him.
He had trouble getting quests.
'Especially since I'm used to hanging around in my corner making primitive arrows... they started saying I'm a retard.'
Of course, he tried to dispel the misunderstanding several times.
Unfortunately, his voice couldn't reach the other ogres.

"Yeah, and that's the goal."
Despite his enthusiasm, he wasn't satisfied with the result before him.
As a legendary blacksmith, he still hasn't been able to create a legendary rank item in 2 years of activity.
A shame, but it's not his fault.
"I need to get a forge... even if my father's gonna hate me even more."
Thanks to the creation of the four epic-ranked items, he gained 4 aptitude points per item.
That's why his stats are much higher than Greed, the protagonist of Overgeared , at level 1.
During his thoughts about how he was going to get access to a forge,
Claude detected children approaching his room.
He immediately used his inventory to hide his arrows and other items.
"You're late for training."
A child with slightly red skin and red hair came into his room.
'He didn't even announce his presence before entering'
It's because of people like him that Claude learned the additional Magic Sense skill quickly.
Thanks to Morpheus, he didn't have to bear all the burden related to the crazy amount of data around him.
"Sorry..."
He wanted to express his feelings, but a holographic window suddenly appeared.
[Quest (Rank D): Beat all the children in the kendo dojo]
[Description: You are the heir of Pagma, a formidable swordsman who is inferior to no one except Muller.
Prove it.]
[Reward: Successfully obtain the right to access the forge despite your young age]
"Did you say something?" The child, who would be known as Benimaru, approached to hear him better.
"I said I can finally kick your badly raised little asses."
