Within the game, Kaede creates the character Maple, but her fear of pain leads her to invest all her experience points in defense. As a result, she moves slowly, cannot use magic, and even a rabbit can get the better of her. But, as it turns out, she acquires a skill known as "Absolute Defense" as a result of investing her points in VIT, as well as a "Counter Skill" that works against special moves. Now, with her ability to nullify all damage, she embarks on adventures.
