Level 0: Stuck in the Tutorial

Kai's life had never quite matched the expectations set for him. It wasn't a life defined by failures so much as one shaped by mediocrity.

After his father's death, Kai lost his way entirely, spending most of his days escaping into Inferno: Battle of Legends, the video game he and his father used to play for hours. A place where his choices mattered. He mattered.



In reality, Kai’s life ends much the way he lived it: quiet, uneventful, and painfully ordinary.



But then, everything changes.



He wakes up in the body of a 15-year-old orphan inside the very world of Inferno. But this time, it’s not just a game. The stakes are real. The monsters are real. And so are the rewards.



"You managed to beat the level SSS+ dungeon, and you're just a kid! Amazing! May I ask what your level is?"



"Ah. It's 0."



The world has no idea what's coming.

This is an experimental novel.

It is my first time trying to put together an adventure litRPG story. Please bear with me.
