The New Gate [manga]
Didn't find it so I opened a new thread if there is already One please Close this One
Summary: "THE NEW GATE", an online game that had turned into a death game, was now releasing the tens of thousands of players that had been dragged into it, thanks to the efforts of Shin, one of the oldest players. But after he had defeated the last boss and freed everyone, he was swallowed up by a strange light and found himself inside the game world 500 years in the future.

dexterity usually refer to small movements, such as crafts or using your hands to shoot a bow.
Agility usually refers to leg movements, moving places or in narrow location.. I'm guessing she didn't have or lost the analyze ability? or it is not the same person? |

I've only read a few volumes of the WN though I'll summarize some of the details of the portion I did, the theme in this series seems to be based around character development of characters other than the MC. Something like, "what happens to the NPCs of your favorite game after the world ends".
Spoiler for WN Some Game Details Heavy Spoilers:
Spoiler for Actual Developments, Heavy Spoilers:
I didn't actually spoil all that much of the story itself, just the background which comes out slowly through the series. Most of the developments are the MC going around kicking level 600-800~ monster ass and reuniting with his old support charters and being surprised by their personalities/developments over the past 500 years. Experiencing the changes of his favorite game world turned real.

Spoiler for More Details/Spoilers:
The MC is pretty OP, but the level cap for monsters is 1000, there's also an unknown number of support characters/NPCs used by other players in the world, some of which could have 999+ stats comparable to the MC. Level 1000 boss monsters have stats comparable to the MC and give him a decent fight. There could be level 1000+ bosses, though 1000 was the cap when it was still a game. If you've ever played an MMORPG before, when you min-max a character you can generally solo mid-level group/raid bosses and some high end ones if you use the right build, though there's generally any number of OP monsters to fight that still require a group as well. That's the kind of situation the MC is in, except it's an isekai version.

Why did he fight the last boss alone in the manga prologue? There's nothing (at least in the first pages) that indicate he's got a special character or ability before he fought that monster. Where were the other high-leveled players?

Basically, very few details were given about that, though for whatever reason the MC ended up in the boss fight alone. I don't get why the series starts where it does, or why the death game aspect even came into the series at all. It's like the death game aspect was introduced just to prepare the MC for the fact that you can't risk death in the isekai, but either way if there's no real difference then it might as well have just been an isekai from the start. The stuff from the death game almost never gets applied other than the fact that the MC is already used to being careful and avoiding risking his life. There are hints that something happened maybe to a friend of his during the death game though... Edit: Oh yeah, also, the scroll he used to check if players were logged out is a player made item, he mentions that it only has names that alchemists were able to record through some means, in other words it's very possible that some other players didn't log off and ended up in that world as well.
