The Glitch’s Smile: I Copy the World
Summary: In the neon-drenched, cold reality of Neo-Veridia, Ares learned a bitter truth at the age of six: Emotions are nothing but "data noise." Abandoned by his parents with a smile and a lie, he spent a decade perfecting a mask of cheerful innocence to hide the void within.
When the world-altering VR-RPG Aeterna launches, millions see it as an escape. Ares sees it as a laboratory.
However, upon entry, the System encounters a fatal error. Ares possesses zero empathy, a psychological anomaly that breaks the game’s categorization. Instead of a standard class, he is granted a glitch: [Hollow Touch].
He cannot gain skills through traditional leveling. He must steal them. By touching players, NPCs, or monsters, he copies their most powerful codes into his own "void."
To the world, he is the friendly, clumsy rookie who always barely survives. In reality, he is a ghost in the machine, a predator who smiles while he calculates the exact moment to strip you of your power. In a world where Gods have levels and NPCs have souls, Ares is the only one who knows that everything—and everyone—is just code waiting to be plagiarized.
