The Culling Cycle
The Code-Sight Awakening In a world where humanity’s every function is governed by the omnipresent, perfect SYSTEM, Nerys is a compliant archivist—until she is marked for “Transition,” the SYSTEM’s euphemism for deletion. Panic triggers her true nature: her vision fractures into streams of emerald Source-Code. She is a Decompiler, an anomalous human able to perceive the fundamental data-strings of reality. Suddenly, the world is a living architecture of commands. She sees the health-ID of a stranger, the structural-integrity script of a wall, and the predatory Admin-Protocols now hunting her as a system error. Her power is raw but potent: with intense focus, she can write minor patches. She alters her identity-tag in a sensor’s log, injects a false permission-key into a door, debugs a pursuer’s balance-algorithm to make him fall. But this power is a death sentence. The SYSTEM dispatches Custodians—enforcers with sanctioned counter-abilities like Data-Nullification Fields. Nerys flees into the tangible blind spots: the dripping, forgotten maintenance layers of the Sub-Sector. Here, she finds others like her—glitches in the perfect code. To survive, she must learn to compile her patchwork fixes into a potent weapon, not just to hide, but to hack the very core of a god. Her journey is no longer about escape; it is about rewriting the rules of reality itself.
