Gabriel Alvarez was born with nothing. A poor Hispanic-American kid struggling to survive the streets of New York, he died alone and starving—just another forgotten soul. But death wasn’t the end.

He awakens in Neo-Terra, a world where magic and technology have fused into a powerful System that governs society. Every person has a class, skills, and stats, their fate determined by the System’s rules. Yet Gabriel is different. Labeled Unawakened, he has no class, no abilities—until he discovers something forbidden.

He can hack the System.

What starts as a glitch quickly escalates into something much bigger. Gabriel isn’t the first to defy the System—there were others before him, people known as Deviants. Every single one of them was erased. Now, the Academy that once offered him sanctuary wants him dead. The Federation considers him a threat to world stability. And an ancient secret buried deep within the System is waiting for him to uncover it.

Armed with his unique ability to override the laws of reality, Gabriel is no longer a forgotten street rat—he’s a rogue element in a world that runs on rules.

And if the System wants him erased?

Then he’ll rewrite it.

Reborn in a World of Magic and Machines

As Gabriel trained, he realized something strange. The System in this world had rules—rules that everyone followed without question. But he could see cracks in those rules, as if they weren't absolute.

One day, during a sparring session, he attempted something reckless. Instead of casting magic through the standard method, he tried to manipulate the System's energy directly.

For a brief moment, his opponent froze mid-attack, their status screen glitching. The instructor watching them went pale.

Gabriel wasn't sure himself, but he had a feeling he had just touched something forbidden.

Something no one else had ever realized.

If this world operated on a System… then maybe, just maybe, he could hack it.

And if he could hack it… he could control it.
