In a world where your DNA is your bank account, Ren Sato was born bankrupt.Centuries ago, Earth’s "Software Update" turned every pigeon into a predator and every human into prey. Now, humanity survives by fusing with mutant beast genes. Compatibility is everything. If you aren't a 90% match with a Silver-Lion or a Frost-Hydra, you’re just a "civilian"—a polite word for monster-bait.Ren was a lazy, anime-obsessed orphan with a compatibility rating of 0.01%. He was the perfect lab rat for a secret organization’s "Evolutionary Singularity" experiment. It was supposed to turn him into a god; instead, it flatlined his heart.Deemed a "failed product," Ren was tossed into a dumpster in the slums. But as he woke up among the coffee grounds and rusted metal, he realized the experiment didn't fail—it just didn't speak the local language.He now has a trillion-nanite "Architect System" installed in his marrow. He can’t breathe fire yet, and he’s still too broke to buy real ramen, but he can see the "source code" of every living thing.While the "Elites" at the Neo-Eden Biotech Academy spend millions on Tier-4 Dragon Genes, Ren is busy scavenging trash. Why buy a Dragon Gene when you can "edit" the DNA of a common cockroach until it has the armor of a tank and the speed of a jet?He’s still weak. He’s still lazy. He’s still broke. But he’s no longer human.The gods of this world are looking for a fight. Ren? He’s just looking for a stable Wi-Fi signal and a way to upgrade his body so he can nap through the apocalypse.
