Haruki Sato was a nobody in Tokyo—a student invisible to his peers, destined for an unremarkable life. Then, with a single, inexplicable blink, he was gone.He wakes up in the mud of Valenport, a brutal, rotting fortress city in a world of iron, blood, and stagnation. He possesses no magic, no system interface, and no legendary hero status. To this world, he is nothing more than a "baseline"—a weak, magicless peasant destined to be crushed under the heels of those who wield power.But Haruki carries a secret the world cannot fathom. He is a glitch in reality, a boy who can read the impossible "Grave-Tongue"—a language etched onto ancient artifacts that shouldn't exist.As he navigates the violent underbelly of the city, working as a lowly library servant while struggling to survive, Haruki discovers that the world is built upon a script he can manipulate. But there is a cost: every time he masters the truth of this world, the void within him grows, and death is not an escape—it is a reset.In a world where he is an error in the system, Haruki must learn to survive the cold, exploit the gaps in reality, and decipher the dark truth behind the symbols before the world deletes him for good.
