Thirty-two students were summoned to another world to become heroes. Only thirty-one arrived. While his classmates celebrated receiving legendary powers, Akira Renji noticed something no human should have been able to see. The world was broken. Behind magic, behind kingdoms, behind reality itself—something resembling corrupted code existed beneath everything. People moved like programmed entities. Memories changed without explanation. Entire parts of history vanished overnight. And hidden within the world was a system that should not exist. Then the system noticed him back. Marked as an “Unauthorized Observer,” Akira becomes trapped in a world that behaves less like fantasy and more like a collapsing structure hiding an impossible truth. But Akira is not a hero. Raised within secret cognitive experiments on Earth, emotionless and terrifyingly analytical, he views humans as systems to observe, manipulate, and exploit. As kingdoms scheme, summoned students divide, and reality itself begins to fracture, Akira quietly searches for one answer: Who created this world? And why was he never supposed to see beyond it?
