They’ve been drinking my future like it’s corp-subsidized coffee. I’m about to make them choke on it.

I’m Dash. My great-grandfather was one of the Fifteen who saved humanity during the System Apocalypse, founding the corps that rule the solar system. That legacy should’ve been mine — until my father was caught up in corpo politics, disinherited and died, leaving us with nothing but a single building on Earth 2.0.

Then I nearly died, and a broken System manifested — barely functional, stripped down to the bones. But it came with Hoqalo, a tinkerer’s trait that lets me forge gear that punches way above its tier. And the more I dig into why my System came out wrong, the more it looks like someone made sure it would.

Someone with corporate reach. Someone who wanted the Kallum bloodline to stay down. To fight them, I’ve got my hands, my tools, and friends who’ll go to corpo hell and back with me.

They stole my future. Time to steal it back — with interest.

What to expect

  • Cyberpunk LitRPG — deep System mechanics with a twist: a broken System with glitchy stats and magic.
  • Sci-Fi × Fantasy — a corporate dystopia (Earth 2.0) where ancient magic and futuristic tech collide.
  • Hopepunk — not grimdark. The world still exploits people, but the tone refuses to.
  • The protagonist — a sarcastic, scrappy underdog heir fighting up from the bottom with wit and terrible puns.
  • Corporate intrigue — a mystery wrapped around the Sol Fortune 15, family legacies, and secret sabotage.
  • Slow-burn romance — natural chemistry with a twist. Present, not the point. No harem.
