I Can't Believe I Have to Defeat the Demon Lord to Pay Off My Student Loans

An action-packed & laugh-fueled LitRPG adventure about an isekai'd office worker slaying monsters to pay off his debt.

Level up. Avoid HR. Slay the Demon Lord.

Dylan Ryan has never been to college. He still owes $447,000 in student loans. The debt belonged to his parents before they died, transferred to Dylan at the ripe old age of eleven.

So when the largest federal contractor in the country offers him a way out — sign here, start Monday, full debt forgiveness in less than six months — he can't sign fast enough.

The elevator goes up and he's whisked away to a monster-filled realm with a stat system that tracks every kill. They're given weapons they don't know how to use, assignments they can hardly fathom, and spoonfed loot lore by a brainrot AI desperate to keep them entertained.

Even worse, his assumed target, the Demon Lord, is actually the contractor's most valuable partner...

Armed with a trash-tier build, a team of other misfortuned misfits and held together by gallows humor, and the kind of desperation only six figures of inherited debt can buy, Dylan has one goal…

Claw his way back to zero.

Because in this economy, being broke isn't just brutal—it's fatal.

It's the defiance of the debt in this action-packed and irreverent LitRPG adventure from bestselling author Harmon Cooper set in a world where your student loans follow you past the grave and one man must do the impossible and defeat the Demon Lord.
