Keir Dalton falls into a city where order is enforced by fire.Crownreach runs on bells, fear, and brass. Every citizen is marked. Every action is tracked. Those born outside the System are called Outsiders, and Outsiders burn.Keir survives by doing what he has always done, watching, following patterns, and finding leverage. He doesn’t awaken as a hero. He can’t be a hero. What he gains instead is a crack in the System, something it was never meant to tolerate.F(x) = P(failure)⁻¹Luck bends. Outcomes shift. Not through strength and not through magic.Ancient temples have been hollowed out and repurposed. Faith has been weaponised. Essence, once free, is now chained to piety. Chaos, long buried, still remembers how the world used to breathe.The Church calls it heresy.The Inquisition burns heretics.In a world built on enforced order, even small corrections can bring down Bastions. Chaos won't forget who wronged it.Chaos never forgets. ***********************************************************What to Expect:- Slow-burn progression with no instant dominance- A calculating, observant protagonist who wins through restraint and leverage- A LitRPG system built around probability, failure, and consequences- Heavy worldbuilding where religion, power, and mechanics are inseparable- A layered world revealed through action and consequence
