Legacy Protocol

In Neo-Sheng, you don't cultivate the soul. You optimize the hardware. Jak is a nobody. A code-scrapper stuck in the rain-slicked neon slums of Sector 44, scraping together illegal data streams just to afford enough low-grade "Flux" nanites to keep his cybernetics from seizing up. In a vertical megacity where the corporate hierarchy is the only law, interns are the lowest tier of Qi Condensation, and Board Directors rule like untouchable Core Formation deities, Jak was destined to be deleted. Until a high-stakes corporate transport crash drops a corrupted piece of pre-collapse history into his lap: Legacy_Protocol_v0.1. Instead of wiping his neural core, the ancient code integrates with his cheap, black-market cyberware. It introduces a glitch into his system—one that allows him to absorb dirty, unrefined environmental nanites and purify them instantly. Armed with a rogue UI, a broken cultivation method, and zero corporate loyalty, Jak begins his ascent up the corporate ladder. But the upper spires are ruthless. Between lethal performance reviews, hostile takeovers fought with monomolecular blades, and corporate bloodhounds hunting for his legacy code, Jak will have to overclock his system just to survive. He didn't want to start a sector war. But if the mega-corporations want to treat him like a virus... it’s time to crash the system. What to Expect: Strict Progression Fantasy: Watch a protagonist go from zero-grade street cyberware to reality-bending digital godhood. Cyberpunk Xianxia Fusion: Sects are megacorps, meditation is data-stream optimization, and magical breakthroughs are system overclocks. Pragmatic MC: A clever, street-smart protagonist who uses glitched logistics and tactical hacking over brute force. No Harem / Focus on Worldbuilding & Action.
