This guy is a bloody idiot. The bug is quite similar to the one that Greed had to deal with in overgeared. An as far as I remember, he was smart enough to not let the company know. Smh. I'll give it a few more chapters even though quite a few things about this story annoys me. Because I know the effort and time out in to craft a story was alot, and I don't want to blast your work. Because of something I strongly dislike. But I can see how this 'bug' can help with his growth, provided he is not stupid enough to just do an all agility build for a character that needs strength to do well.
I don't get how they missed this, they'd have dozens of hundreds of similar players, it's not a hard bug to replicate. (At least, if it just requires dying, not specifically PK, that would make it somewhat more rare.) How many hundreds of players do you think started the game, got to the river, wondered what would happen, and leapt in? Oh look, they drowned and now they're level 0. Ooh, level can go below 1? What happens if they do it again? Bam, you have plenty of negative level characters running around.
