(2025)
(The first book in the Level Zero Knockout series)
A novel by

 
 
Juno Hale dies after a crappy MMA loss and a food truck to the face.

She wakes up in a dungeon. In a chainmail bikini (yeah, great...armour - NOT!). With a System HUD in her vision and goblins running at her.

Class: PUGILIST – Lv. 0 (LOCKED)
XP:
ERROR

No matter what she kills, her level never moves.

But every time she punches something into a wall, her stats go up. STR pings. VIT climbs. Hidden ‘impact’ bonuses stack. Sometimes the monsters drop weird glowing Bug Fragments the System clearly didn’t mean to spawn.

Somewhere above the shard, a Patch Council is screaming into their headsets.

They send fixes.

  • Tutorial goblins? She yeets them into the ceiling.



    Slime galleries? Turned into a low-rent boxing gym.



    Ogre boss ‘Recommended Level 4’? One stalactite and an uppercut later, he’s paste and pixels.



    Maintenance wisp and a shard-cleanup ‘Correction Knight'''? She punches the patch until it crashes.



    By the time she hits daylight, Juno is still Level 0, stupidly strong, and officially listed as a LIVE EXPLOIT. The devs want her contained. The System says she should never touch Tier 2.

    Juno'''s plan?

    Keep walking toward the high-level dungeons and hit whatever tries to stop her.

    If you want a fast, foul-mouthed LitRPG with:

    • A permanently Level Zero heroine



      Cartoon-violent dungeon fights



      Meta dev-chat snark



      And a System that’s one crash away from rage-quitting



      …then grab LEVEL ZERO KNOCKOUT: GLITCH and watch Juno break the rules, the bosses, and the balance patch—one punch at a time.
