Glitch God

He built the world. The world killed him. Now he's trapped inside it. Caius Vael was the most brilliant game architect of his generation. He designed Aethoria from the ground up, every dungeon, every monster, every rule. Then he died at his desk at 3:14 AM, killed by a bug in his own code. Or so he thought. He wakes up inside Aethoria with no class, no stats, and no System recognition. Just a cold error message floating where his name should be. The world he built is three hundred years older, players are trapped with no way out, and something living beneath the game has been feeding on them in silence for centuries. Nobody can see him or help him. The System itself wants him deleted. But here is what the System does not know. He wrote the System. Every backdoor, every buried secret. Every crack in the foundation of this world. He put them there. And now he is going to use every single one to burn this prison to the ground. The problem is he was never supposed to be the hero of this story. He was supposed to be the key. And what he is about to unlock should never see the light.
