Leo Chen is a ghost in the machine of Neo-Singapore. As a bottom-tier janitor with a "useless" telekinetic ability, he spends his days scrubbing scorch marks off the Hero Corps Tower and manipulating dust motes while the city’s elite heroes bask in the glory of the System. He is invisible, undervalued, and trapped in a life governed by credits and algorithms.
Until the System glitches.
In a split second, Leo’s status is overwritten. He isn't tagged as a hero, but as a catastrophic Villain Level 100.
Now, the entire city—from the elite Sentinel drones to the heroes he once idolized—is hunting him. But as Leo fights to survive in the digital and physical underground, he discovers that his "glitch" isn't a mistake. It’s a backdoor. His ability to manipulate the microscopic isn't just for cleaning; it’s for rewriting the code of reality itself.
Teaming up with a fractured AI and a ragtag group of outcasts known as the Quest Refusers, Leo uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to wipe out free will Project Clean Slate.
To save the city that rejected him, the janitor must become the glitch that brings the whole System crashing down. But every time he hacks the code, he loses a piece of himself. Can Leo save humanity before he deletes his own soul?
