Using his knowledge of games, skills, and cheats, Kaede decides to enjoy as much of his new life in a different world through his newly-acquired magic and sword!

During one of our arguments, my younger brother taunted me, claiming that I only knew how to depend on guys to get me through MMOs.

The beautiful GM told me that I could have one wish granted… Humph! I. Want. To. Become. A. Guy!
