My Class Tree Is Alive and It Hates Me[LitRPG | Progression Fantasy]

by MaplewindLit

ActionAdventureDungeon CrawlerFantasyHigh Fantasy

Everyone else awakened a Class Tree. Rowan Vale awakened one that talked back. Unfortunately, it was ancient, broken, arrogant, and very disappointed in its new host. At nineteen, Rowan is still Dormant. No class. No skills. No future. As a Pack Runner for the Greyrock Adventurers' Guild, he carries supplies for real adventurers, patches the same bad strap for the hundredth time, and argues over three coppers like his dignity depends on it. Usually, it does. Rowan knows his place. He is not the [Swordsman]. He is not the [Mage]. He is not the chosen one with glowing eyes and a destiny carved into the heavens. He is the man carrying their lunch. Then a rising [Swordsman] takes him into the dungeon and leaves him behind to die. In the dark, overloaded and hunted, Rowan awakens the withered remnant of an ancient World-Tree. It cannot make him a hero. It cannot give him a legendary class. It can, however, talk. Mostly to insult him. But it can also see what others cannot: the hidden roots beneath the lowest profession in the guild. [Porter] was never just about carrying things. It was about burden. Weight. Balance. Endurance. And Rowan has always been very bad at putting things down.———————————— What to Expect This is a LitRPG / Progression Fantasy with dungeon crawling, class evolution, and a living system. The main character starts weak. Not secretly overpowered. Not secretly noble. Not secretly the chosen one. He is a broke Pack Runner with a bad shoulder strap, a worse job, and a Class Tree that thinks he is barely usable. A low-status [Porter] progression path. A sarcastic, ancient, half-dead Class Tree as a true second lead. Dungeon survival, class conditions, hidden roots, and professions that are more than they first appear. A system that cannot hand out free power. A protagonist who has to earn every skill through pain, stubbornness, and very poor financial decisions. Weak-to-strong progression. Practical problem-solving. Underdog adventurer growth. Light banter, dark dungeons, and a lot of unwanted carrying. No harem. No instant legendary class. No overpowered protagonist from chapter one. The power growth is steady, earned, and tied to the meaning of [Porter]: burden, weight, balance, endurance, and refusing to put things down. Release Schedule Two chapters daily, around 2,000 words each. Around 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM European time. Occasional three-chapter days when the author's own Class Tree stops hating him long enough to cooperate.
