Author’s Note: This novel is “LitRPG Lite,” which means that it does not give explicit stats, levels, etc., but it is very much RPG-inspired fantasy literature, in which characters acquire items and weapons and spells, gain experience and increase in power by fighting and defeating enemies, and obtain quests that require them to venture into dungeons and fight monsters and defeat bosses, with the ultimate goal of defeating a final boss. I would say that the inspiration for this novel comes more from games than from novels: what directly inspired this book is Final Fantasy and Dungeons...
