CLUTCH: Level Up or Game Over
In a world where competitive gaming is more than just a hobby, Elijah "Zero7" Kane starts his journey as an isolated teen chasing purpose through the game StrikeLine. Guided by a mysterious personal interface visible only to him, Eli embarks on a grind powered by quests, stat boosts, and gut-wrenching decisions—both in-game and in life.
As he levels up from a bullied school kid to a professional esports champion, Eli battles fierce rivals, burning ambition, and the haunting pressure of performance. His obsession drives him to international stardom but slowly chips away at his identity. With trusted teammates, heartbreaking betrayals, and a quietly wise love interest who sees beyond his interface, Eli learns that victory means more than just winning.
Spanning over 15 years of growth, this manhua-style gamelit saga explores mastery, friendship, emotional quests, and the fragile art of letting go. When the system starts to fade, Eli must decide: who is he without stats? And what kind of legacy will he leave behind?
In the end, the true challenge isn’t the final match- it’s discovering the player behind the username.
