Level One Dropout

By: Lee Thomas

Narrated by: Lee Thomas

Broke, burnt out, and one bad click from disaster, Sam says yes to a “quick cash” beta test—and wakes up inside a secret VR dungeon tournament with permadeath, zero gear, and the lowest starter stats in history. His only ally: Moxie, a sarcastic AI moose who calls him “Dungeon Boy” and insists he try not to die before the tutorial.

Floor One is sewer rats, biting treasure chests, and a big red button no sane person should press. Floor Two is worse: party votes, bosses named Kevin, and “rewards” that barely keep you alive. When Sam stumbles into a hidden vault with his name on it, he doesn’t just break the rules—he breaks the game. The system gives him a choice: keep playing…or disappear.

Level One Dropout is a fast, funny LitRPG packed with spoken HUD pop-ups, real stats and skill-ups, creative boss fights, and nonstop banter. Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, He Who Fights with Monsters, and Ready Player One.

Book One ends with a twist and a cliffhanger—so press play, and whatever you do, don’t press the red button.
