Liam was a regular high school student who spent most of his days and nights gaming. After a long night of gaming, he woke up the next morning to find a holographic screen floating in front of him.Not only that, but the screen informed him that he must run three miles or he would be punished. Naturally, he ignored it, thinking that his lack of sleep had caused him to hallucinate. The time slowly ticked down while he had yet to complete his quest.He was then transported to a desert, surrounded by wild wolves. He narrowly escaped without being ripped apart, and that’s when a notification popped up.[Congratulations on not dying! For that, your body has made small improvements. You are well on your way to becoming a pro boxer.]With this system, Liam must take on the task of becoming a pro boxer; he must train and work rigorously. Will he succeed? Well, you must read to find out!NOTE: For the system, there will be no power padding or points system. The system’s job is solely to train him.

Deemed trash and disowned, he was cast out with nothing but the clothes on his back and a cold, self-hating resolve.For five years, he trained his body to its breaking point, only to discover his weakness was a lie. His power wasn't absent—it was a paradox. A 'Negative' mana circle so volatile it had to be sealed by a god at his birth, lest it annihilate his very soul.Now, the seal is cracking. To prevent catastrophe and seize his own destiny, Luthra is given a key: The Negative Leveling System. In this world, power means leveling up. For Luthra, true strength is found by leveling down.Armed with a simple industrial chain and an unshakable pragmatism, he begins his hunt. Every monster core he absorbs pushes him deeper into negative levels, unlocking twisted skills and an incomprehensible strength the world has never seen.They called him a zero. But in a system where Level -10 is stronger than Level 1, Luthra is about to show them what true power looks like from the bottom.
