When it comes to the VRMMO NewWorld Online, Kaede Honjou isn't yourrun-ofthe-mill greenhorn gamer. Forgoing a typical stat allocation for her GreatShielder, Maple, she pumps all her points into defense from the get-go! Herreasoning? "I don't want to get hurt." With no magic, agility, or strength tospeak of, this walking fortress will have to get creative to beat the baddiesearly on. But little does she know that her pure-stat build will propel her tochaotic new heights that even the game admins couldn't accountfor!

The second event finishes with a bang, and it’s time to reap the rewards! With upgraded gear and new skills in their arsenal, Maple and Sally prepare to take the next step—buying a home for their freshly founded guild! This is the birth of the legendary Maple Tree, whose name strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it!

Maple’s adventures in NewWorld Online’s treasure hunt event continue! As she and Sally explore more of the map, they encounter new friends, such as the kimono-clad Kasumi, and the eggs that dropped from the previous boss hatch to reveal adorable pets. Together with their allies, the two are thrown into battle against unstoppable monsters, rival players...and even each other?!

BEGUN, THE GUILD WARS HAVE! With new allies and skills at the ready, Maple Tree embarks on their first event! The obvious favorites to take the crown are the big guilds like Flame Empire and the Order of the Holy Sword, each boasting well over a hundred members and some of the best players who topped the ranks in previous events. To make matters worse, everyone on the server has been stocking up on anti-Maple skills and items after her rise to infamy. For any hope of victory, Maple Tree will have to overcome incredible odds and shatter all expectations-or wipe out everybody else trying!

A WALKING NIGHTMARE FOR GAME DESIGN! Between easily beating the fifth stratum’s secret boss and keeping pace with the best players in the game, Maple continues to demonstrate exactly how broken she is. Unfortunately, things aren’t going as smoothly for Sally because the sixth stratum’s debut reveals a horror-themed level, meaning it’s chock-full of ghosts, geists, and ghouls! Wanting to do something nice for her partner who’s too terrified to even step onto the new map, Maple sets out to find presents in the haunted houses and cursed crypts, much to the horror of the admins...

Still feeling a bit sad for Sally, who missed out on the sixth layer, Maple proposes they try something fun for the seventh event. It'll be just the two of them, aiming to complete a no damage run with the odds against them and the difficulty set to max. What could possibly go wrong?

Double Trouble… Maple has become famous overnight after finishing in the top three of the battle royale and defeating a shocking two hundred players without taking any damage at all. Now, with the treasure hunt event about to start, Maple and Sally set off in search of rare gear and adventure! The game admins and other players look on in both fear and excitement as they wait to see what crazy new development is about to hit the server!

HUNT SEA MONSTERS? THEY’VE GOT OTHER PLANS! The ninth event is here, and the entire player base must work together to defeat enough aquatic monsters before time is up. Maple Tree is so powerful they sweep the battlefield with little trouble. Other than Iz, who’s after limited-edition crafting materials, the guild members aren’t really invested in an event that’s not challenging or competitive. Instead, they spend their time searching for rare monsters and bosses or scouting out other guilds. Any info they gather is priceless if they want an edge in future PvP events. This has never been more important now that two up-and-coming guilds have declared themselves Maple Tree’s rivals. And they’ve got beastly members of their own who can give Maple and Sally a run for their money!

--Let's get this story moving. Alongside the people most important to him, a boy goes out to meet the same sunrise once more. Strengthening his resolve, Subaru returns to his first day in the mansion. Repeating his loop in the Roswaal household armed with his memories, Subaru attempts to only make the optimal decisions to avoid another tragedy, but his fear and obsession with evading death and failure are slowly warping him. While Subaru slowly falls apart trying to save everyone...who will save Subaru...?

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGINS! ​Following their incredible performance in the treasure hunt event, Maple and Sally are interested in one thing and one thing only—buying a house! After all, every guild needs a home. Though their guild is still small, the girls and their friends are excited to have a place to meet, train, and grow—especially now that the newly minted guilds are all going to be facing off in the next big event! This is the birth of the legendary Maple Tree, the guild whose name strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it!
