Fifteen years after dungeons appeared, Jack Mercer was Level 87, an A-rank Delver, and already near the peak of what ordinary humans could achieve.
Then he walked into a dungeon—and woke up on Day One.
The world is in chaos. Governments are sealing mysterious gates, the internet thinks reality has become an MMO, and nobody knows why bullets barely work while a kitchen knife can kill a goblin.
Jack knows.
He remembers fifteen years of builds, boss mechanics, valuable drops, bad investments, hidden synergies, and expensive mistakes. Better yet, his A-rank Appraisal can identify monsters and items even through photos and livestreams.
And behind his old family home is something that never existed in his first life:
A private Layered Dungeon.
Jack already made it to A-rank once while learning everything the hard way.
This time, he intends to do it properly.
