Rank zero; How I Became A Story Walker

He wasn't supposed to survive tonight. Somehow, he got another chance — and he has no idea what it cost him. No mana, no combat ability, and no hope of becoming a Vanguard, Itsuki is destined to remain a lowly Cleaner—the ones who enter dungeons after the heroes have finished the fighting. Until the day he should have died. A dungeon wasn't closed on time and it's boss broke through, Itsuki Tachibana finds himself caught in the middle of the destruction. During the encounter, something awakens inside him. And whatever it is… would cost him dearly. Rank Zero is a slow-burn fantasy with a growing cast, mystery, character development, and a power system that unfolds piece by piece.
