Description: [edit] [history]

Robert Zeneki felt like an outcast in his home village of Mantlemount. On his 18th birthday, the day of his Awakening, he planned to get one of the most coveted Paths, that of the Mage, and eventually start a new life to prove that he's not the lying delinquent they believed him to be.

Despite his best efforts (that are admittedly not that good), Rob becomes an adventurer and sets out to fight monsters and level up. If he could only level up fast enough to fight the monsters that constantly threaten his life, then perhaps he would be able to live peacefully.

But some people are not destined for peace, least of all Rob.

I got tired of all the litrpgs with generic barbarians or pointlessly inflated stats, so I made my own. This is going to be a story where the main character either one shots something with Lightning, or nearly dies because his one strategy doesn't work.

(Also fair warning there's more rat killing than I thought there'd be early on, and I'm beginning to feel bad for them. I'm probably not gonna have any more rats appear later on.)

[I've come back from a month long break, and will be slowing down chapters for now. We'll see what schedule I end up with]

Warning: The main character is not intelligent, he will be making a lot of mistakes until at least chapter 40. If this doesn't appeal to you (As many people have let me know is the case in my comments) then you probably won't enjoy this story.

This is also my first time actually writing a full story. I've tried to plan everything out fully, but don't expect it to be perfect.
