Isekai gone wrong

Levious, a calculating pragmatist, finds himself thrust into Dunia, a world teetering between burgeoning steampunk innovation and ancient, dwindling magic. Granted a 'god-like' leveling system, he believes he holds the ultimate cheat, only to discover its insidious limitations and hidden costs. As he navigates this treacherous era, where native mages clash with burgeoning industrial powers, Levious's quest for ultimate power reveals a looming cataclysm. He must rapidly master his double-edged ability and outmaneuver both native factions and fellow transmigrators, or watch Dunia, and his own existence, unravel into a ruin far worse than any game over.
