Justin Talemaker is a college dropout with zero prospects and even less social grace, especially after getting kicked out of his online gaming guild for being "that guy." Then a freak Oklahoma tornado flings him into Eyrth, a world governed by actual LitRPG mechanics.

Any sensible protagonist would roll a warrior or a mage. But Justin, still reeling from his latest flameout, makes a different bet: the obscure Socialite class. He's all in on Charisma, hoping to master the skills that have always let him down.

The catch? His new abilities, like Dandy's Swagger, might turn heads at a dinner party, but they're useless against a charging centaur. And with every other stat dumped, even basic survival becomes a high-stakes hustle, unless he can bluff, charm, or, in a pinch, smack his way through trouble with a surprisingly effective gentleman's cane.

It doesn't take long for Justin to realize he's outmatched, outclassed, and possibly doomed. But if he can talk his way through dungeons, navigate nobles with a vendetta, and find allies who actually stick around, he might just pull off the impossible.

Because in a world ruled by numbers, the hardest thing to level up might just be yourself.
