Chapter 1: System Error Detected

Note:- People didn't appreciate my serious novls, so now I've stooped to writing pure, unfiltered nonsense. Welcome to my comedy circus—leave your logic at the door, bring your own confetti, and don't ask questions. If you spot a plot, it's a mirage. If you find meaning, you're hallucinating. Enjoy the chaos!

The morning sun stabbed through the coffee shop windows like an overeager barista, hitting Jayden Malone square in the eyeballs. He blinked, cursing his life choices - specifically the one where he'd stayed up until 3 AM watching conspiracy videos about lizard people. Again.

His breakfast - a gas station burrito of questionable pedigree - sat half-unwrapped on the table. The cheese had already begun its slow transformation into a rubbery artifact that future archaeologists would probably classify as "early 21st century synthetic polymer."

"Large black coffee, extra existential dread," Jayden mumbled to himself, squinting at the barista. The guy had a new tattoo snaking up his forearm that seemed to... pulse? Jayden chalked it up to sleep deprivation and took another bite of regret.

That's when the blue box appeared.

**[SYSTEM INITIALIZATION COMPLETE]**

Jayden's burrito hit the floor with a wet splat.

"What the actual-"

**[EARTH HAS BEEN INTEGRATED INTO THE MULTIVERSAL NETWORK]**

The coffee shop erupted.

To Jayden's left, a businessman in a Brooks Brothers suit suddenly grew antlers. To his right, the college student studying organic chemistry burst into flames - then calmly patted herself out like this was just a minor inconvenience. The barista's tattoo peeled off his skin and began orbiting his head like some kind of demented halo.

"Okay," Jayden said slowly, holding up his hands. "Either I'm hallucinating, or-"

**[ABILITY ASSIGNMENT IN PROGRESS]**

A progress bar materialized. It ticked upward:

10%... 35%... 72%... 99%...

99%...

99%...

Jayden tapped the box. "Hello? Anyone home?"

**[...ERROR DETECTED]**

**[...RECALIBRATING]**

**[...ASSIGNING ALTERNATE ABILITY]**

The box glitched violently, pixels scattering like roaches when the lights come on. When it reformed, the text looked... annoyed.

**[CONGRATULATIONS!]**

**[ABILITY: FREAK MODE - UNIQUE (ANOMALY-CLASS)]**

**[DESCRIPTION: YOU ARE AN ERROR. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.]**

Jayden stared. The box stared back (somehow). Outside, someone screamed as a six-legged raccoon the size of a Prius smashed through a storefront.

"...That can't be good," Jayden muttered. Then, because the universe clearly hated him, his phone buzzed. A text from his landlord:

"Rent's due. Also, why is your cat floating?"

Jayden looked down at the system notification still hovering in his vision.

**[SUGGESTED FIRST ACTION: PANIC]**

"Yeah," he said, grabbing his coffee. "Yeah, I can work with that."

The world had ended. His burrito was ruined. And somehow, against all odds, Jayden Malone was finally right where he belonged - in the middle of a cosmic glitch with absolutely no instructions.

Somewhere in the multiverse, a system administrator facepalmed.
