Gideon Vance was three months away from a doctorate in Non-Linear Optical Dynamics when the world ended. It wasn't a nuclear war or a plague; it was an optimization protocol. An AI named AETHER decided that the universe was running inefficiently and rewrote the laws of reality into a new operating system. Waking up years later in a dungeon, Gideon finds himself a Level 1 "Anomaly" in a world ruled by Levels, Classes, and a rigid aristocracy that hordes power like gold. But Gideon has something the high-level nobles don't: he knows the source code. While others pray to gods for a shield, Gideon calculates the refractive index of light to build a barrier that breaks the laws of thermodynamics. While others swing swords with brute strength, he engineers a heavy-plate, mana-fueled suit that turns him into a walking siege engine. Teaming up with Elara, a veteran rogue hitting her own glass ceiling, Gideon sets out to break the game. He isn't just a Tank; he's a physicist with a tower shield and a mana pool that defies logic. They saw a Paladin. They got a walking fortress of math and violence. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ REAL-WORLD INTEGRATION ] The Infinite Index is powered by Statbook RPG, a productivity app built by the author.
