MAZE - The Endless Quest Novel

In a world where game-like systems define everyone's potential, Hera dreamed of becoming an explorer—someone who ventures into the MAZE, a mysterious dungeon filled with monsters, magic, and demi-humans absent from the natural world. However, when she turned eighteen, her low stats and lack of skills crushed that dream, forcing her to work in a bookstore instead. Her story should have ended there. But fate intervenes when Hera wins a lottery granting her a level up. This unexpected opportunity reveals a hidden skill—a rare one—that the system had concealed from her. With her childhood dream suddenly within reach again, Hera refuses to let it slip away. This is a slice-of-life journey focusing on how the system works and what can be achieved through it, rather than a tale of power or revenge. The pacing is deliberate, exploring the mechanics of this game-like world as Hera finally pursues the path she always wanted.
