Trash Mob: Zero XP [Rogue-Like | LITRPG | Monster Evolution]

Wesley Holloway died certain he was right about the oat milk. The afterlife disagreed about his value. It dropped him onto Floor One of the Spire as a Cave Critter: a green tutorial nuisance worth zero XP, built to be killed by adventurers learning which end of the spear goes forward. No levels. No heroic destiny. No survival column. Unfortunately, Wesley is still thinking. He can’t grind XP. He can’t outmuscle the monsters. He can’t even talk properly through the mouth the System gave him. So he does the one thing trash mobs were never designed to do. He pays attention. Every death leaves data. Every mistake becomes a tool. A bad knife becomes a map, a map becomes a plan, and the weakest creature on the floor starts turning predators, terrain, and System loopholes into a ladder. The dungeon wrote him off as worthless. Now the worthless thing is learning how to climb.
