About the Book
Solo Leveling meets Sword Art Online in the bestselling LitRPG Fantasy Action Adventure series HELL DIFFICULTY TUTORIAL – in print and as a Light Novel for the very first time with HELL DIFFICULTY TUTORIAL (Light Novel) Vol. 2 from Aethon & Vault!
Where others see doom, he sees opportunity. Hell Difficulty? More like a chance to thrive.
Trapped in a world ruled by stats, monsters, and logic, Nathaniel Gwyn is still playing on Hell Difficulty—and it’s a game he intends to win.
Thrown from an ordinary bus ride into a deadly new world, Nathaniel and his group of survivors continue to navigate brutal creatures, portals to strange lands, and fractured alliances. As others cling to hope and fear, he continues to focus on mana manipulation and embraces the chaos with cold strategy, carving his path forward through sheer willpower.
In a system where hesitation means death, the only way out is through—and Nathaniel plans to master it one step at a time.
