When his little sister appears on his doorstep, his goal of becoming a professional crawler turns from ambition into necessity — he needs the money and stability to give her the life he never had. A grounded, working-class take on the dungeon-gate story: slow progression, meaningful stats, and a protagonist with a clipboard and an overflowing inbox.
