Plot of Solo Max-Level Newbie

Jinhyuk, a dedicated gaming Nutuber, was the only player to reach the end of the game Tower of Trials. When the game lost popularity, Jinhyuk was ready to quit—until the Tower became reality. With his extensive knowledge of the game’s mechanics and hidden strategies, Jinhyuk quickly gained dominance in the real-world version of the Tower.
In Chapter 198, Jinhyuk discovers a hidden power within the Tower that alters his combat abilities. As he learns to control this new strength, a hidden faction within the Tower makes their move. Their goal is to disrupt Jinhyuk’s rise to power and seize control of the Tower for themselves. Jinhyuk must outsmart them while defending his position.
Meanwhile, Jinhyuk forms an unexpected alliance with a powerful figure from the higher floors of the Tower. This partnership forces Jinhyuk to reconsider his approach and confront the risks of relying on others. As new threats emerge and hidden agendas are revealed, Jinhyuk’s journey toward mastery takes an unpredictable turn.
