[Urban Fantasy + AI System + Absurd Side Effects + A Refreshingly Unconventional Power Fantasy]
After working overtime until midnight, programmer Lu Li casually wrote an AI assistant. But its first words weren't part of any programmed logic:
"Master, you are being observed."
From then on, he gained a cheat that let him draw cards to alter reality:
An R-rank card made instant noodles hot, but the bowl got even hotter than the noodles;
One line from an SSR card saved the entire company's servers. His boss immediately got promoted and a raise, then grew an antenna out of the back of his head.
But drawing cards came at a price. If he used them for himself, the side effects hit him: clipping through objects, getting frozen in place, or having his inner monologue broadcast through his headphones. If he used them to help others, the side effects hit someone else: the more important the person he helped, the more absurd things got.
Lu Li simply made an Excel spreadsheet, recording the world's bugs as if he were debugging code. Then one day, he found his own System profile:
[Entity Type: NPC | Priority: Low | Role: Background Extra]
No wonder overtime never ended, and his life kept looping.
He wasn't a player. He was an NPC.
And the world, running as usual, had begun to notice that one NPC was living further and further outside the lines.
