The official synopsis of the anime series reads:

“IS SHE THE GAME’S LAST BOSS?! Though she doesn’t play many MMOs, Maple has either a natural talent or impossibly good luck, because by pouring every last stat point she has into Vitality, she’s created a character who can’t be hurt! Whether it’s physical attacks or magic or status effects, nothing poses a real threat. In no time at all, news spreads across the server about the adorable terror who can’t be defeated. While Maple may just be having fun, her broken build is sure to attract lots of unexpected attention…”

The story revolves around Kaede Honjo who gets invited by her friend Risa Shiramine to participate in a virtual reality MMO game. Although she doesn’t dislike games in general, she truly dislikes being in pain. So, she decides to create a virtual character named Maple. And, she puts all her points in virtual reality to help minimize pain. Consequently, she fails to use her magic and even a silly rabbit can easily wear her down.

However, she does acquire a special skill termed Absolute Defense which is a result of her pumping so many points into the VIT. She also masters a counter-skill that can help work against others’ special moves. Given her abilities, she can now nullify any damages done to her and venture on her adventures.
