System Error: My magic is powered by insults

"I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t ask for magic. Or a system. Or to save a world full of people I barely tolerate. I just wanted coffee, quiet, and maybe a nap."



Alexander Thorn is a nobody. A dropout with a vocabulary full of swears and a heart full of apathy. Until one day, the world awakens magic—and his comes with a glitch.



His system doesn’t power up through training, kindness, or destiny.

It grows stronger the more sarcastic he gets.



Every insult becomes a spell. Every joke becomes a weapon. Every time he pushes people away, his power rises.



But as cities crumble and an immortal villain prepares to erase emotion from reality, Alex must choose: stay the emotionally dead smartass he’s always been—or become the unlikeliest savior of a world that still has something worth laughing for.



In a world where magic is emotion, only the broken can save what’s left.
