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.
