Synopsis
Most people went their entire lives without ever setting foot in a dungeon. Ben had never left one. For sixteen years, Ben was trapped on a single floor of an unmarked dungeon. Bound by the laws of the dungeon from retreating, the laws of the jungle from progressing, and forgotten by the world outside, he spent his entire life killing monsters and listening to stories of the world beyond. But after so long, Ben was about to gain his freedom. With skills leveled far beyond those of anyone his age and absolutely zero real-world experience to back them up, Ben would finally get his chance to explore the world he’d heard and dreamed about. - This is a lower-stakes litRPG, focusing more on the MC's slice-of-life adventures than any grand destined battle between good and evil. There are stats and skills, and the MC will have his own unique advantages, but his power (and that of humanity as a whole) will be closer to that of a knight of the round table than Goku.
