When Games Invade, I Can Refresh Traits

Game invasion, infinite dungeons, idea-driven, play the pig to eat the tiger, urban supernatural powers, myriad worlds On September 1, 2029, the Apocalypse Protocol descended. One billion people worldwide awakened traits at the same time: gray Bricklaying, white Physical Fitness, green Sprinting, blue Elemental Control... The higher the quality, the closer to godhood. Game dungeons invaded reality, turning office buildings into mazes and subway stations into abysses. The roars of monsters echoed through every city. Some people drew golden traits and fell to their knees in delight. Others drew gray traits and collapsed on the spot. Shen Ce, an unemployed programmer and former game power-leveler, awakened the gray trait everyone agreed was the most useless of all: Refresh. No attack power, no defense, and a status screen so gray it practically glowed. The livestream camera shoved into his face as the entire internet laughed: “A useless trait! The chosen unlucky one!” This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to actual people or events is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
