Bug Hunter: Null Pointer Merchant

Maya Chen didn't choose the Bug Hunter class. It chose her.
When a PowerBull Energy delivery truck ends her career in data quality management, Maya wakes up in a fantasy world mid-crash — no tutorial, no character creation, no terms of service acceptance. Just a wheat field, a broken spawn sequence, and a class assignment the system can't fully define.
Bug Hunter. Rare. Passive skill: identify exploitable mechanics in any system. Active skill: manipulate one system rule per day. Current XP reward structure: none.
The world runs on corrupted infrastructure nobody has maintained since patch 0.4. NPCs are caught in broken loops. Quest chains reference items that no longer exist. The system administrator is missing. Something called the Anti-Virus is watching her.
Maya spent three years finding errors everyone else ignored. The universe, apparently, was paying attention.
She has work to do.
