Arlan can go back in time by one minute, once per day.
To lift himself out of the poverty of peasantry, Arlan traveled into the monster-infested wilderness, aiming to acquire the Swordsman Class. While exploring, he encountered a Demon with powerful time magic, and after a battle gone wrong, he ended up with something different than he'd hoped: an unheard-of Class named Minute Mage.
Now, lost in the woods without any training to use magic and not even a usable weapon, Arlan must rely on his new Class's one unique power: the ability to turn back time by a single minute. Nobody in the world has ever heard of this Class, so he can't rely on community, the knowledge of his peers, or any of the studying he's done until now – only instinct. And when he explores further, he finds that this forest isn't what it seemed – that Demon had to have come from somewhere, after all. But he'll fight to Level up, increase his strength and time-traveling power, and break out of the fatal forest with his life intact.
What to Expect:
-Numbers. This is a LitRPG written by someone who loves LitRPGs. It won't be overwhelming or confusing, but if you dislike the genre, this probably isn't the story for you. Blue boxes ahead!
-Meaningful progression. Characters are always working to grow more powerful, but doing so is difficult. Level-ups are hard-earned and bring with them meaningful change in characters' abilities.
-Tactical combat. Fighting is as much a battle of wits as it is a battle of muscle, after all.
-No harems.
