Kael Varin was a game developer—until a routine bug test trapped him inside his own MMO as an NPC. Now, the system has flagged him as a quest-giver in a backwater starter village. No inventory. No combat skills. No player abilities. Just a barely-functional quest creation system and a cryptic warning about 'irregular entities.' He might have stayed unnoticed—if not for the corruption spreading through the world, evolving beyond its intended design. Now, the system sees him as a bug to be eliminated, players treat him like disposable content, and a mysterious NPC elder seems to know more than she should. To survive, Kael must outsmart the system that created him, use his developer knowledge to manipulate game mechanics, and uncover why NPCs aren’t following their scripts anymore. But something is changing—within the game, within the NPCs... and within him. What to Expect:✔️ Unique LitRPG mechanics – quest creation, environmental manipulation, and system hacking✔️ A different take on LitRPG – survive as an NPC with no combat skills✔️ A battle of wits against the system itself – outthink the system, outmaneuver enforcers, and break the rules before they break you✔️ New chapters every week!
