I Got a System While Everyone‘s a Mutant

Kaito Fushimi is a powerless Support Technician in a world where mutants and Riftspawn shape the balance of life. While others wield destructive abilities, he repairs stabilizer gloves, limiter belts, and power‑control gear—keeping gifted students alive from the shadows. He has no powers. No potential. No future beyond the workshop. Until he discovers an ancient console hidden beneath the city. A neural HUD awakens inside his mind. Atlas Protocol — Potential: 3% A system with no guidance. No voice. No encouragement. Only cold data and brutal training programs. When a Tier‑3 Riftspawn tears open the sky and threatens his sister, Kaito activates his first Surge—gaining impossible strength at the cost of tearing his body apart and slowly numbing his emotions. But something is wrong. Rifts begin appearing around him. Creatures never seen before emerge. And the Guild starts to fear the “ordinary technician” who can kill monsters stronger than elite operatives. As Atlas unlocks Phase Two, Kaito realizes the truth: His power is growing. His humanity is fading. And the rifts… might be responding to him. To protect the people he loves, Kaito must walk a path where every Surge makes him stronger— and every Surge makes him less human.
