Synopsis

Stefan, a broke engineering student and low-tier gamer with a “skill issue,” wakes up in a fantasy world. No cheats, no OP powers—just vibes, bad decisions, and gamer instincts. Can he survive? Probably not. But hey, at least there’s no math exam here.

Now stuck in a world full of bizarre creatures, mythical lore, strange tech, and social rules that make college group projects seem tame, Stefan has one goal: don’t die. As he stumbles through awkward alliances, questionable quests, and rival adventurers with actual talent, Stefan must rely on wit, sarcasm, and an unhinged party to keep moving forward.

He’s stuck managing their finances, tracking inventory, stopping his teammates from doing anything stupid, and figuring out the world’s game-like mechanics—all to reach the Research University of Trivan and uncover what really happened to him… and his world.

After all, when you’ve got zero skills… you might as well wing it.
