Kael died on a Tuesday. Hot coffee. Collapsed trachea. Ridiculous. The system tried to reincarnate him. Something went wrong. Now he's Level 0. No stats. No skills. No future. But the system can't delete him. So it made him its error. The glitch: Every time an enemy attacks, the system uninstalls their skill and installs it into Kael with a x10 multiplier. The limit: Kael has 1 HP. One hit kills him. And stolen skills generate overload. The more power he steals, the closer he gets to exploding. The stronger he becomes, the more the administrators hunt him. He's not a hero. He's not a villain. He's the error the system can't fix. And he's just getting started. Warning: Dark humor. Constant upgrades. Enemy humiliation. Zero slow pacing.
