Max Level Newbie Hides His Strength

Han Jiho, a legendary professional gamer of the hyper-FPS game ‘XenoForce’ who declared his retirement after a certain unsavory incident.

While living as an unemployed person, he starts a game called ‘Echo of Eternity’ at a friend’s suggestion and meets a veteran user named ‘cogus’ who shows him an inexplicable amount of interest.

“98-nim, would you like to do the tutorial together?”

But right from their first meeting, he sends a friend request and carries Han Jiho through the game, and then…

“98-nim, if you’re okay with it, would you like to try Energy Spike together?”

He even introduces him to his fellow clan members to play together, and…

“98-nim, I want to become close with you.”

When Jiho tries to avoid him because it’s too much pressure, cogus starts to push even harder.

Then one day, he hears a shocking story from the clan members….

[Party] EchoThief: That guy is a huge fan of Han Jiho.

[Party] JunkCollectionMaster: Yup. He’s a total f*cking otaku obsessed with Han Jiho.

As it turns out, cogus is a total fucking otaku obsessed with ‘Pro-Gamer Han Jiho.’

Could it be… that he knows my true identity?

Later, while playing ‘Echo of Eternity,’ he meets an incredibly skilled newbie, ‘HanJiHo98,’ and finds himself intrigued. He wants to become close with him, assuming that the other person is also a fan of ‘Han Jiho’ just like himself.
