A sci-fi novella set in the universe of Shadow and Steel.
In the city of Rift Dome, secrets are buried deep within the moon's ancient fractures. But some won't stay dead.
Jace lives for the rush: the speed of the chase, the sting of blaster fire, and the high of outrunning death. But when a heist goes sideways, he uncovers a secret that could shatter the Dome--and everything holding the city together.
Beneath the seductive glow of neon lights, the truth cuts deeper than any blaster. And Jace just pulled the trigger.

If you've ever lost a puzzle piece, a clone, or your sanity, proceed with caution. Expect slapstick tragedy, chaotic multiverse logic, and hints of impending doom-sometimes all at once. Reading may induce laughter, confusion, and occasional facepalms. 📝 Author's Note Thanks for jumping into my chaotic puzzle!

System Glitch: Book 1 The Thief
This is a story I started writing a while back, on a different platform. I am working to rewrite it in a clearer RPG style. I originally wrote about 70 chapters. I will steadily work to rewrite these chapters and continue on the story. Jace is the most notorious thief in New Syndralis, a nineteen-year-old prodigy living on the adrenaline of the perfect heist. His target: the impenetrable HexGate Corporation, where the data on Project Hermes-a groundbreaking AI-promises to be his ticket out of the shadows. But Jace doesn't just steal the data; he steals a catastrophe. Captured by a glowing artifact deep within the HexGate vault, Jace is imbued with a bizarre, game-like "Stealing System." Now, a cold, metallic voice guides him, enabling him to literally swipe anything-a guard's eyesight, access codes, even raw strength-to level up from a humiliating F-Rank. To survive, Jace must embrace his new power. Breaking free of HexGate, he builds a team of high-tech allies to wage a secret war for the soul of the city. From brutal street gangs and powerful mobs to corrupt government officials, cyborgs, and mutants, every enemy is a chance to level up. Jace was hired to steal a secret. Now, the System will make him the city's greatest weapon.
