Web serial by Octagonal Corgi (J.T. Revell)
No sane person would choose Apocalypse Difficulty. For Rowan, it was his only option. Forced into the hardest possible Tutorial, he finds himself poisoned and trapped in caves deep below the surface. Every waking second is a fight for survival, clawing toward safety one kill at a time. Deep in the caves, he stumbles upon a set of ancient chains that grant him a class — not enough to make things easy, but possibly enough to survive. For Rowan, Apocalypse Difficulty isn't just a source of death and fear. It's an opportunity to break free from his old life and seize real power.
