From basement dweller to high-society feller—he’s betting everything on Charisma.
For Justin Talemaker, ‘reading the room’ used to mean checking the game lobby. But after getting booted from his guild for spectacularly failing at human interaction, a freak Oklahoma tornado hurls him over the metaphorical rainbow into Eyrth—a world governed by clear LitRPG mechanics.
Still smarting from rejection, Justin picks the least combat-ready class imaginable: Socialite. No sword. No spells. Just pure, unfiltered Charisma. His plan? Charm his way to the top.
It goes about as well as you’d expect—but hey, at least he gets a spiffy cane.
Unfortunately, abilities like Dandy’s Swagger and Refined Aura don’t impress monsters. And with everything but Charisma dumped, surviving even basic encounters is a tall order.
But all is not lost. Thanks to his Magnetic Presence ability, he ropes a sharp-tongued Bard and a wary Ranger into his misadventures. Now, Justin must rely on social finesse he’s never actually possessed. And when he accidentally uncovers the secrets of a powerful noble, his goofy self-improvement arc takes a darker turn.
To make it out alive, he’ll have to bluff, bargain, and bumble his way through high society, postal work, dungeon crawls, and the occasional goblin knife fight—armed with nothing but words, wit, and a Charisma stat that refuses to quit.
Genre: Fantasy
