The manhwa goes along the shores of a world where Asta Chronicles has taken up the MMORPG industry by storm. Our main lead, Seong Chahyeon, is the leader of the top-tier guild, Heist, which is currently ruling the game.

On a long-awaited day, when the most anticipated raid update arrived, one of the guild’s healers, also Seong’s partner, was called for military service. With that, it became impossible for them to clear out the raid…unless they recruited a new healer. 

However, with Seong aka Jijeok (in-game ID) being so picky about his partner, the task of finding a suitable member seemed unachievable. That was until, they stumbled upon a specific newbie, named HealTeaser, with a huge potential of becoming a skilled player.

The story continues with Seong turning this complete newbie into a powerful raid-ready healer. The entire plot gushes over the various training routines and difficult tasks, designed by Jijeok, that push our novice player to reach his full potential.

A Glimpse into the Chapter 1 of ‘Raising a Newbie to Grind Them’

The first chapter itself sets the stage for the readers to grasp on the actual plot and understand its key aspects. It not only lays down the foundation of the story but also holds crucial details about the game, Asta Chronicles, that are necessary for the readers to acknowledge. 

Some basic terms of the game include: 

Raid Difficulty Levels
  • Raids have different difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, Legendary, and now, Mythic.
  • Every team requires a total of 9 members to enter a raid.
  • A team must have 2 Healers, 2 tanks, and 5 dealers.
  • A PD or Pure Dealer is the one who deals the most damage without any buff.
  • Alchemist does not have high healing abilities, which is why it is considered as the worst profession for a healer.

As the plot unfolds, on one side, the update for the Mythic level raid arrives, while on the other, Seong’s healer partner receives his warrant for military service. To top it all off, Heist’s sole enemy, the Main guild, also sets its feet back in the game. 

These circumstances call for the ultimate quest to find Jijeok a skilled healer partner. Which is why, CanRobot, vice leader of the guild, posts a recruitment notice for a healer of Priest profession. However, the requirement of passing a 1-on-1 interview with Jijeok doesn’t please anyone, resulting in zero feedbacks.

Further along the chapters, we discover how a newbie player in the guild, HealTeaser, shows exceptional skills in the Edwin raid battle of ‘Legendary’ difficulty. Constantly impressed by his ability and reflexes, Jijeok decides on raising this newbie and ‘using’ him as his ‘personalized healer partner’ during the Mythic raid battle.

As the journey continues, we’ll continue to explore new interactions and interesting battles that will contribute to making HealTeaser a powerful healer of his team.
