Virtual World: Close Combat Mage follows a super Martial Artist who, due to a student's error, finds himself assigned the mage class in an online game. Accustomed to resolving conflict through direct combat and overpowering opponents with strength, he decides to make the most of this unexpected turn. This leads him to forge a new path as a violent close combat mage, where the seamless fusion of strength and magic opens up an entirely new gaming style.
Initially perplexed by the magical abilities he now possesses – spells like Fireball, Lightning Chain, and Frosted Ice Mirror – he questions how they relate to his martial arts background. Despite the incongruity, he accepts his new identity as a mage. However, he challenges the traditional understanding of the class, asking, "Do you really firmly believe that I am a mage?" He then demonstrates his unique approach by showcasing his proficiency with knives, swords, fists, and concealed weapons. When confronted with disbelief about his mage status, he asserts, "If you don’t believe me, I will prove it to you: If you believe me, I will show you a performance: No one can get in the way of a mage who knows Kung Fu!"
The novel explores game elements within an MMORPG setting, featuring a level system, game ranking system, and guilds. The protagonist is characterized as calm, carefree, honest, and helpful, yet also arrogant and naive. He is an overpowered character, strong from the start, who grows even stronger, often underestimated by others as he hides his true identity and utilizes hidden abilities. The story involves grinding, teamwork, and the presence of quirky characters, thieves, and mercenaries, all within a modern-day virtual reality environment where a strength-based social hierarchy exists. Enemies sometimes become allies, contributing to the dynamic gameplay experience.
