Humanity has abandoned a dying Earth to live in Aethelgard, a massive, floating server-city in the sky. This is the "5th Generation" of existence: a digital utopia where sickness, hunger, and death have been deleted from the code. Life is perfect. Life is safe.
But the system has a bug.
Terrifying creatures known as Data-Beasts-monsters made of corrupted code and forgotten nightmares-have begun to breach the city's firewall. They don't just kill; they erase reality, turning buildings and people into static.
Enter Ren Kozuki, a "Trace Diver." By day, he is a bored maintenance worker who fixes minor glitches in the simulation. But when a massive Fracture tears the sky open and a Dragon-class beast descends, Ren reveals his true nature. He possesses a forbidden "Suicide Protocol"-a power that lets him rewrite the laws of physics in real-time to fight back.
Now, as the perfect world crumbles, Ren must lead a team of misfits to hunt down the source of the corruption before humanity is deleted forever.
