I Became a Game Bug

As a programmer trapped in the 996 grind, Ye Chen never imagined that one furious press of the Enter key while working overtime would send him into the cultivation game he had written himself, Mortal's Path.

Other people transmigrate as players or chosen ones. He… became the number one BUG on the System's kill list.

Luckily, he awakened an ability of his own: [Code Sight]!

In his eyes, the entire cultivation world was made up of lines of code that could be edited.

The Heavenly Dao's enforcers hunting him down? “With ping this high and latency this bad, how do you expect to fight me?”

A wealthy young lady he'd met by chance stared at him in shock. “What hidden class are you?”

Ye Chen smiled faintly. “I'm not a class. I'm a BUG.”

Just as he thought he could secretly become an immortal by fixing bugs, he discovered that the truth about this world was far beyond anything he'd imagined. The so-called “Heavenly Dao” was just a tech company, and “ascending” was merely an experiment to collect emotional data.

With a formatting crisis about to descend, Ye Chen tapped the void and brought up the world's entire underlying code.

“Sorry, your System has a vulnerability.”

“And I'm that vulnerability.”
