• database
• users
• user-meta

• There's nothing in this code that saves anything. It's just setting variables. Is this all of it? – Jacob Peattie Commented Jun 9, 2020 at 7:57

You want to use the Wordpress function; add_user_meta

add_user_meta( $user_id, '_level_of_awesomeness', $awesome_level);
