Story Beat: adapt to the new world
This new world is confusing and difficult, and our protagonist will start out weak and ineffective, but gradually grow and change to adapt to the new world - while at the same time they might cause the new world to grow and change to adapt to them.

There's a good chance that they are utterly brilliant. Or mad. It's hard to tell - whatever game they're playing, they haven't bothered to explain it, so it's not clear whether they're playing 5-dimensional chess or if they're trying to win at poker with a five of clubs, a six of hearts, a Get out of Jail Free card, and a Subway "Eat Fresh" gift card.
They almost seem like a force of nature.
