chapter 1
When Kai died, it wasn't dramatic.
No truck.
No last words.
Just a hospital ceiling, a flatline, and darkness.
Then—
[SYSTEM BOOTING…]
[Welcome, User: KAI REN.]
[World Transfer Successful.]
Kai woke up face-down in grass that sparkled like it had its own graphics engine. Above him, three moons hung in the sky.
"…Yeah," he muttered. "This is definitely an isekai."
A translucent blue screen hovered in front of his face.

Kai blinked. "Hold on. Infinite MP?"
Another window popped up.
[Absolute System Authority allows the user to edit, overwrite, and ignore the world's rules.]
[Warning: User is classified as an IRREGULAR.]
Before he could panic, a fireball screamed toward him.
A monster—half wolf, half shadow—leapt from the trees.
Instinct kicked in. Kai raised his hand.
"Uh… cancel?"
[Command Accepted.]
The fireball froze mid-air, pixelated, and shattered like glass.
The monster stopped. The monster exploded.
XP poured into Kai like a waterfall.
LEVEL UP!

Kai stared as his level jumped from 1 to 100 in seconds.
"…I might be a little broken."
A final message appeared, glowing gold.

Reward: Unknown
Penalty for Failure: World Deletion
Kai laughed—half nervous, half excited.
"So basically," he said, standing up, moons reflecting in his eyes, "I'm the final boss."
In the distance, a kingdom's bells rang—heroes being summoned, prophecies activating, demon lords awakening.
And none of them knew yet.
The system chimed one last time.
