I Can't Believe I Have to Defeat the Demon Lord to Pay Off My Student Loans (A LitRPG Portal Fantasy Adventure)

MercSecure will pay off your student loans. All of them. In less than six months.

All you have to do is sign the contract, take the elevator, and survive the Rift—a monster-filled realm with a stat system that tracks every kill, loot drops with backstories written by a brainrot AI desperate to keep you entertained, and a floating fortress ruled by the Demon Lord.

Who isn't the enemy. He's the contractor's most valuable partner.

Dylan Ryan owes $447,000 in student debt he inherited from his dead parents at age eleven. He signed without reading. So did his best friend Rosaria. So did Lauren from HR, who once wrote him up for being late and is now holding a plastic wand that shoots fire.

They're given weapons they don't know how to use and assignments they can hardly fathom. Week one is a tutorial. Week two, the missions change.

Armed with a trash-tier build, a team 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.
