How I Accidentally Accessed the System

For thirty-year-old gamer Chris Day, the apocalypse isn’t zombies or aliens—it’s a dead internet connection.



When a storm knocks out his internet, Chris finds a strange, armored cable in his yard and attempts to “hack” the junction box. He thinks he’s just rerouting a signal.



He’s wrong.



He accidentally hotwires the primary trunk line for Reality, which, to prevent a catastrophic failure, offloads its core processes and control interface directly to him. Now Chris has an System account for the universe, and the universe is about to get a very strange patch.
