The Crack in the Sky promised every human a power-giving System. Kael prepared harder than anyone.
He got nothing.
Branded [NULL] and abandoned during the monster-filled apocalypse, Kael faces death – until the System glitches.
A catastrophic error ignites the Apotheosis Engine inside him. It doesn't grant powers – it steals them from the corpses of anything he kills. Monsters. Traps. Even other humans.
But the Engine is unstable. Its power explodes unpredictably, mutating Kael's body and mind. Worse, it broadcasts his location like a beacon.
Now, Kael fights to survive using stolen, glitching power – while hunted 24/7 by:
Terrifying monsters drawn to his energy,
Ruthless human survivors craving his strength,
And the System's ultimate cleaners: the ERROR PATCHERS, designed to terminate anomalies like him.
One wrong move, and the Engine making him a god will tear him apart. Can Kael steal enough power to survive the System that rejected him... before his own glitch destroys him?
