An "unlucky lucky charm" picked by fate's mystery box, a workplace drone who glows even as he bristles at everything, versus a sharp-tongued, tsundere, roguish god of commerce (staff), who acts like he can't stand it but is actually a lovestruck fool after being precisely targeted by his own type.
[Chuunibyo Blurb]
When reality splits open, monsters writhe in the abyss of desire.
He is a bug in the Wealth System, destined to be hunted by fate, with a little financial anxiety and insomnia on the side.
In Qi Nuo's eyes, wealth is no longer just numbers. It's the eyes of demons.
The candlesticks pulse like veins, and visions surge like a tide.
Who says the game of wealth has only winners and losers? There's also a little bug with a single-digit account balance and a remarkably resilient spirit.
Hermes, the corrective overseer god, arrives amid the ruins of fate, his heart gradually maturing into that of a lovesick fool.
He says, "You are forgotten 'code,' and I am the destined 'correction.'"
It sounds like a cheesy breakup line from a divine programmer.
This is a journey against fate, a burning of souls and faith.
As the illusory monsters emerge and darkness tears the world apart, all Qi Nuo wants to say is, "Can you please stop making me work overtime at the soul level?!"
Qi Nuo and Hermes, two souls torn apart by fate, will launch their final counterattack in this otherworld.
And by the way, you can level up by fighting monsters while fixing the bugs in your life.

[Everyday Blurb]
Other people save money to manage their finances. I save money and trigger divine punishment.
Qi Nuo only wanted to work hard and save quietly. Then one day, he woke up to find he had become a bug in the divine realm's Wealth System, with the Fate System caught in the crossfire. The moment his savings exceed fifty thousand, divine punishment strikes!
Just as he was teetering on the edge of eating dirt to stay alive,
Heaven finally sent someone in charge to fix the bug.
Qi Nuo: "Hey, handsome, who are you?"
Holding a caduceus, the god declared coldly, "Hermes Sirius Escalion, bearer of the Seven Golden Seals, glory and master of the Divine Balance Knights, the Golden Balance Key of Heaven, arbiter beyond the threads of fate, and first founder of the commercial oaths binding all realms."
"In short, the master of your fate."
Qi Nuo: "..."
Qi Nuo: "Am I Heaven's chosen wage slave?"
Hermes curled his lips slightly and sneered. "No, you're just a bug that grew where it shouldn't..."
Qi Nuo: "..."
From then on:
Savings anxiety? The god fights monsters!
Rich socialites showing off? The god fights monsters!
The divine realm's System wants to delete my account? The god fights monsters and smashes the server!
But the most ridiculous part is,
This god doesn't just fight monsters and transform. He also makes instant noodles for Qi Nuo in the middle of the night.
And he's even a little... flirtatious?
Qi Nuo: "Did you come to fix the bug, or to show off your feathers?"
Hermes asked with interest, "I only came to fix the bug. Do you believe me?"
