The Glitched Scavenger

Outside the shielded Sanctuaries, where reality still behaves, lies the wasteland—a rust-choked graveyard of collapsed cities, mutated beasts, and endless Dungeon rifts. It's where humanity's unwanted are left to rot. Jax has spent ten years scavenging scrap just to stay alive in it. Then a stolen, cracked Awakening Stone gives him a System — except it doesn't awaken right. It glitches. [CLASS: UNKNOWN][STATUS: CORRUPTED][ERROR…???] His strength fights his own agility. His skills insult him on activation. Reality itself hiccups when he's nearby. By every measure that matters to the high-born Awakened fighting over pristine relics, Jax should be garbage. Turns out garbage is exactly what his System was built for. It’s drawn to the very things the world discarded. [A Post-Apocalyptic LitRPG featuring a Scavenger MC, Glitched System Mechanics, Magitech, and Weak-to-Strong Progression.]
