Level Zero: Rise of the Forgotten follows Raizen Mordrake, a young man born in an empire where every person's worth is determined by the combat class they awaken. While his classmates receive legendary powers and glorious futures, Raizen is declared Level Zero—a classless outcast considered lower than a servant. Publicly humiliated and expelled from the prestigious Obsidian Crest Academy, he abandons all hope of ever belonging.
Lost in the ancient ruins beneath the academy, Raizen discovers a mysterious sealed gate that recognizes him as its true master. Instead of granting him an ordinary class, it awakens a forgotten power linked to a mysterious System that has remained dormant for centuries. Marked as the only Level Zero User, he is thrust into a deadly world where survival is the first quest, monsters lurk in eternal darkness, and secrets capable of destroying the Empire begin to awaken.
As Raizen grows stronger, he realizes that being the weakest was never his curse—it was the key to an ancient authority that history tried to erase. Now, hunted by powerful kingdoms, feared by heroes, and pursued by beings older than humanity itself, he must rise from absolute nothingness to challenge the very laws that govern the world.
