Solo Max-Level Newbie

A gaming streamer, the only one to beat the game Tower of Trials, uses his knowledge to dominate it when it becomes reality.

When a mysterious phenomenon causes a popular anime-style RPG game to merge with reality in Korea near the Sangam stadium, everyone receives a starting ability ranked from E to SS tier. Unlike other games where gear and equipment provided initial advantages, in this new world, players start with nothing but their abilities and knowledge. The protagonist, who previously solo-completed this game when it was just a challenge, possesses two critical advantages: intimate knowledge of game mechanics and a unique SS-tier ability to copy others' powers. The world is now dotted with imposing anime-styled towers, each containing floors filled with monsters and culminating in powerful bosses. Each floor must be cleared within a strict 90-day deadline. If these deadlines are not met, humanity faces extinction as the towers grow increasingly dangerous and their inhabitants threaten the world. As society begins to collapse in South Korea, guilds form around the towers. These organizations typically target strong players, offering them resources and support in exchange for loyalty and climbing progress. Some guilds become powerful political entities, while others remain small, specialized groups focused on specific towers. People turn to streaming and watching streams of tower completions to gather crucial information about strategies, weaknesses, and deadlines. This creates a new economy where successful tower climbers can monetize their adventures, while others spend resources on gear in hopes of improving their chances. The protagonist starts with no gear or advantages beyond their ability and knowledge. However, they possess a unique SS-tier power: they can copy and keep any person's ability by first completing a specific in-game achievement or challenge directly tied to the target's skill or identity. This ability, combined with their knowledge of hidden strategies and game mechanics, will slowly but surely make them the strongest as they navigate this anime-inspired dangerous new world. With humanity's survival hanging in the balance, the protagonist must decide whether to continue their solitary path or use their growing powers to help others complete floors before the deadlines, potentially saving humanity from extinction while gradually becoming the strongest player in this merged reality.
