Monsters did not always exist in the island country of Hexaldoria, once known as Japan. But, once monsters appeared, their numbers grew in an instant. Eighty percent of the world is now too dangerous for people to live in. With the monsters' arrival, the world bestowed "Classes" upon its people.
 
Classes are assigned at birth, and most people live according to them. There are eight COMPETENT classes: FIGHTER, HUNTER, CLERIC, WARRIOR, MAGE, MERCHANT, THEIF. And three special ORACLE classes: KING, SAGE, HERO.
 
The weakest Class of all is VILLAGER.
 
However, Kouji Kagami became "LEVEL 999"--the highest level that no one had reached before.
 
When he met the daughter of the Demon King, the world started to change!

In this world, the concept of levels exist. Other than those who live off defeating monsters, most people are only around Level 1 to 5. What's more, not just anyone can go out to hunt monsters; it's heavily influenced by one's role anointed by god. There are eight such eligible roles. Warriors. Fighters. Clerics. Magicians. Rogues. Merchants. Hunters. Sorcerers. Those blessed with extraordinary power are divided into three types. Royalty. Heroes. Sages. But for the majority of the population, they have no such powers and live by farming or running shops. Towns are developed by those with the weakest role…Villagers.
 
For the powerless Villagers going out to hunt monsters is equivalent to committing suicide. But one day, a certain two-year-old child given the role of Villager notices something.
 
Once you defeat a monster… you can earn great wealth.

In Earthclear, everyone is born into a fixed role, and villagers are the weakest of all. Most never rise above Level 5—except Kouji Kagami, who is Level…999?! On a monster hunt, he meets Alice, the Demon King’s daughter, and discovers they share an impossible dream: coexistence between humans and demons. In a world destined for conflict, they charge into battle to defy fate and shatter the rules.
