Lv 1 doesn't necessarily mean "clueless nobody who just started adventuring".

DnD allows you to create a character with an already rich backstory, full of a prior life, and that doesn't have to translate into "high level".

For the purpose of "ludonarrative cohesion", it is easily reconciled: Your character simply decides to employ abilities of increasing power just as the threats increase that require them (and as their "XP", as a representation of that, increases as well).
