(Overlord) The Hidden Tenth

YGGDRASIL was once an immensely popular online game. Set against the backdrop of Norse mythology, it stood out from other DMMO-RPGs of its time for its extraordinarily high degree of player freedom. There were easily over two thousand basic and advanced classes. Each class capped at level fifteen, so reaching the overall level cap of 100 required leveling up at least seven different classes. However, meeting certain conditions made it possible to dabble in many classes. If you were willing to level each one inefficiently to just level one, you could still reach level 100. As a result, unless someone deliberately made the same choices, no two characters in the game system would be identical. The game world awaiting players was vast, with nine worlds: Asgard, Alfheim, Vanaheim, Nidavellir, Midgard, Jotunheim, Niflheim, Helheim, and Muspelheim. A vast world, countless classes, and appearances that could be freely customized. This design poured fuel into Japanese creativity, setting it ablaze. Before long, it even sparked what people called a character-design craze. Such was the game's overwhelming popularity that mentioning DMMO-RPGs in Japan would immediately bring YGGDRASIL to mind. -But that was a long time ago.
