Sequence Invasion: I Control the Source Code of All Things

My name is Er Dong, an unemployed young man living inside code. Then I discovered that the entire city was one enormous, bug-ridden “program.”

Monsters lurking in the shadows were tampering with reality’s parameters, and anomalous data streams flowed across the glass walls of skyscrapers. And I had become the city’s most unusual “bug”: a compiler who could “devour” instead of forming “contracts.”

When the compiler hailed as a “genius” sent his A-rank source beast, the Thunderclap Sword Falcon, to strike me with a bolt of thunder, I merely raised a hand.

The [Lightning Immunity Lv. 1] source code I devoured from a piece of “insulating moss” three days ago merged in my mind with [Refraction Lv. 2], which I’d just parsed from a “Mirror Mirage” last night. The two finished compiling in an instant.

The moment the thunder sword touched my fingertip, it vanished without a sound, like a stream flowing into the sea.

The pride on his face shattered piece by piece. “There’s no ability like that in the source beast catalog!”

I adjusted my glasses. Behind me, a chaotic halo, compiled from dozens of low-level source codes and warping light and shadow, slowly revolved.

“Now there is.”

Tonight, my target is the S-rank source beast lurking deep within the city’s root server, the one capable of altering memories. What sparks will fly when its core code clashes with these eyes of mine, which see the origin of all things?

My keyboard is heating up. Every speck of dust on it will bear witness to the rise of a new god.
