Itai no wa Iya Nanode Bougyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu

Honjou Kaede received an unexpected invitation from her close friend, Shiromine Risa, to join a virtual reality MMORPG. While she doesn’t dislike gaming in general, the idea of experiencing pain—even virtually—fills her with dread. But then, a thought strikes her: what if she could minimize discomfort by focusing entirely on defensive abilities? If allocating points to defense reduces pain, then that’s the obvious choice, isn’t it? Without hesitation, she decides to pour every available stat into resilience, transforming herself into an impenetrable fortress. Now, fully prepared, she’s ready to dive headfirst into this new adventure, shielded from harm by her unwavering focus on protection. The game world won’t know what hit it—or rather, what couldn’t hit her. With determination in her heart and an unbreakable defense, she steps forward, eager to explore without fear of suffering. No challenge seems too daunting when pain is no longer a concern. This is her strategy, her shield, her way of enjoying the game on her own terms. The battlefield awaits, and she’s more than ready to face it—safely, securely, and without a single point wasted on offense.
