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

Aurelia pointed to a terminal at the center of the room. "This contains classified information on the System's origins. It might help you understand what you really are. But once you access it, there's no going back. If the Academy finds out, they'll brand you a traitor."

Back in his old world, he had never been given choices. Life had made decisions for him.

He stepped forward and placed his hand on the terminal.

The screen flared to life, and lines of text filled the air.

[SYSTEM ORIGINS: FILE RESTRICTED]

[WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED USER DETECTED]

Then, something Gabriel hadn't expected appeared.

[Would you like to Override System Restrictions?]
