Teenager

In the war-scarred realm of Valecross, every sixteen-year-old awakens a Spirit Gift, except Liam Cross. Branded The Powerless, mocked, and hunted in Ravenhold Academy, he’s destined for failure. Until one night, a black crystal pendant, the last relic of his mother, shatters awake. Inside it stirs a forbidden System unlike any ever seen. It tracks his strength, speed, and quests like a living game. As Liam secretly grows stronger, dark forces begin to move, rivals who fear him, and a prophecy that calls him the Echo Chosen, the one who will either save Valecross... or destroy it. When monsters from the Rift return to devour the academy, Liam must decide: Embrace the Shadow System, or let the same monsters that took his family make him lose everything.

On the day of his erasure, Swan learned the brutal truth of the system: you either fit, or you are deleted. Wiped from records, memories, and reality itself, he was left a ghost in a world that insisted he never existed. But this ghost learned to haunt back. Gifted with the impossible ability to hack reality, Swan can rewrite the very code of existence. But this power comes at a terrible price: every use erases a piece of his own past, turning his identity into a currency he spends to save others. Now known as the legend "Nyx," he is the last hope for the forgotten—the other "glitches" and erased students hiding in the city's digital shadows. Together, they form a resistance against the true enemy: a ruthless corporate director pulling the strings of their suffering and an omniscient AI hunting their every move. In a world that wants to delete him, his only choice is to become the virus that crashes the entire system. What to Expect in This Novel: * Reality-Bending Action: Watch the MC manipulate physics, glitch through time, and fight with the code of reality itself. * A Conspiracy That Goes to the Top: Uncover the dark secrets of the Genesis Protocol and the true, monstrous purpose of the Institute. * High-Stakes Romance & Found Family: A dying girl who is his only anchor to the past, and an alliance of forgotten rebels who become the family he lost. * Zero to Legend: From a "Null Student" to the most wanted anomaly in the system. * A Ruthless, Intelligent Villain: Face off against an enemy who is not just powerful, but the very architect of the hero's existence.
