Heroes Don’t Fear Pain

The protagonist transmigrates into an online game and becomes an NPC blacksmith in the starter village! Even more absurdly, he awakens self-awareness and can fight monsters and level up like a player, forge divine gear, and even exploit System bugs to duplicate equipment endlessly! From then on, he poses as an NPC to swindle players out of their gold while evading GM pursuit. With his ridiculously powerful pet, the “Chaos Slime,” and bug-level forging skills, he turns the game world upside down. So what if he’s an NPC? NPCs can be number one on the server too!
