"Dungeons are graves to most… but for me, they’re treasure vaults."

After a tragic accident, Wade transmigrated into a magical world where adventurers gain treasure by clearing dungeons. 

Poor, powerless, and desperate for a way out of poverty, his only path forward was to join the Adventurers’ Guild and awaken a class.

He thought this dream would be out of his reach, until he awakened a hidden class.

[Dimensional Merchant]

His Origin Skill, [Dimensional Ledger], tallies every trade he makes. Profitable deals are rewarded not with coins, but with keys to the deepest dungeons across countless dimensions.

And unlike every other adventurer who starts from nothing, Wade begins with a cheat no one can match.

100 unassigned stat points.

While others bleed for scraps of strength, Wade grows faster, stronger, and richer with every deal he makes. Where they fear the abyss, he opens its doors.

From pauper to the most dangerous merchant of the multiverse, Wade’s rise begins with a single rule.

"Everything has a price. And I always make a profit."

Ding!

[Congratulations, Merchant. Your recent trade has exceeded all thresholds of profitability.]

[As a reward, you may select a Dimensional Key. Each key opens the gate to a dungeon of unfathomable depth. Choose wisely.]

[Available Dungeons:]

[1. Obsidian Key - Unlocks the Dark Labyrinth, a shifting dungeon of endless shifting black stone, where shadow beasts lurk and every wall hungers.]

[2. Blood Key - Unlocks the Blood Crucible, a dungeon where rivers of lava forge monsters of fire and iron.]

[3. Eternal Key - Unlocks the Eternal Bazaar, a market dungeon where every monster is also a merchant, and a single deal could cost your soul. Warning: bargains made inside are binding. Failure to pay has permanent consequences.]

[All dungeons offer great rewards.]

[Please select your key.]

The glowing notification hovered before Wade, bright and unignorable in the aftermath of battle.


[Congratulations! You have leveled up!]


He smiled faintly at the sight. Hitting level 10 felt good. To him, it meant progress, strength, and validation that all the grinding was paying off. 


He was about to dismiss the screen when it shimmered and changed.


[New Growth Per Level: +10 Unassigned Stat Points.]


Wade froze, his mouth slightly open. "Wait… what?"


He blinked once, twice, but the words didn't vanish. If anything, they seemed to glow brighter, as if the universe itself was emphasizing them for him to see.


One hundred unassigned stat points? A new growth rate?


He quickly racked his brain for what he knew about adventurer progression.
