The Story of an Ossan Mistaken as a Hidden Boss by Overpowered Vtubers
Tomomura Tomohito, an unemployed aspiring writer, suddenly finds himself transported to another world.
This world, however, originates from Elder Frontier, the first-ever fully immersive sensory VR game.
Among the 10,000 beta testers chosen, 1,000 are globally renowned and ultra-popular Vtubers. But right after the game launches, they’re unexpectedly transported—not into the game—but into a real, alternate world, orchestrated by the game’s developers.
Tomomura, however, starts his adventure far from everyone else in a remote and desolate region. His assigned job in this world? “Apothecary.”
Ironically, this is a job Tomomura himself had designed for Elder Frontier. It’s widely considered the weakest and most useless class in the game.
“Who came up with this trash-tier job design…? Oh, right, it was me.”
So, he begins small—training skills, saving stray dogs, and diligently mass-producing simple recovery potions.
While the Vtubers work together to conquer the otherworld, Tomomura quietly continues his journey. A self-proclaimed useless apothecary, he believes he has no combat value.
However, as a slightly cynical ossan, Tomomura decides to contribute in the only way he can: by secretly supporting the adventurers.
And so, he turns to something “illegal” in this world, based on the very game lore he had created.
Tomomura starts smuggling Recovery Potions—a banned substance in this world—to help others survive their adventures.
“If I don’t get these potions on the market soon… people are going to die because of the rules I made…!”
A Growing Misunderstanding Among the Vtubers and Their Fans
Unbeknownst to Tomomura, the viewers and Vtubers who don’t know the full story start making assumptions about him.
“The poison ossan is helping people again…” “Wait, isn’t the poison ossan secretly really strong?” “His recovery potions are kind of insane, right?” “What’s today’s poison ossan update?” “Still smuggling potions.”
While Tomomura focuses on surviving and protecting his dog and newfound allies, he remains unaware of the larger implications.
From dismantling a cult, conducting high-stakes heists, raiding a federal bank, and pulling off a 5.6 billion currency caper to robbing the Holy Church’s underground treasure vault…
Tomomura, the poison-affinity apothecary, finds himself entangled in every major incident in the otherworld.
What he doesn’t know is that his supposedly weak class and trash-tier skills have evolved, turning him into one of the world’s strongest players.
The Secret He’s Yet to Discover
Tomomura is the only one oblivious to the fact that his life in the otherworld is being broadcast worldwide.
He’s unknowingly become the shadow ruler behind the Vtubers’ conquest of this new realm.
This is the story of a slightly selfless mob character who unknowingly rises to the top, becoming the hidden king of an otherworldly recovery potion cartel.
