In a city where a god-tier AI dictates every life, Kaelen is a Baseline—invisible, powerless, and destined for the scrap heap. But when a desperate salvage mission unearths a dying anomaly, its dark, iridescent tissue latches onto his wound, shattering his world and igniting a terrifying transformation. Now, with a rogue system coursing through his veins, Kaelen wields impossible power, but every surge of strength comes at a devastating cost: a piece of his very identity. As Enforcer sirens wail and a city-wide purge protocol begins, Kaelen is hunted as a forbidden threat, forced to navigate a brutal landscape where his new abilities are both his salvation and his curse. Can he survive the system that created him, or will his evolution consume him entirely?
