Kai Drekken was never meant to matter. Branded a “glitch” by the Guild, he drifts through the city’s alleys until the night he stumbles onto something forbidden—an ancient System hidden beneath the world’s laws of magic. With a single command, he bends reality, drawing the attention of those who erase problems before they spread. Hunted by the Guild’s Null enforcers, burdened by debts the System demands, and guided only by half-broken patch notes left by a vanished predecessor, Kai must learn to “sew” power instead of tearing himself apart. Every stitch buys survival. Every mistake feeds the collector that waits to claim him. In a city where spells can fail but debts never do, Kai’s greatest weapon may be the flaw the Guild fears most: the glitch that refuses to be erased.
