The Entropy Equation

Elias was an error, an Anomaly in the hyper-technological world of Neo-Tokyo where everyone was wired into the Grid and fueled by enhancements. Rejected by society and left to scavenge in the underbelly, he thought he understood the cruel rules of the game. Then, a fateful night and a tear in reality change everything. Thrust into a hidden realm, Elias discovers he's been Reincarnated, his soul carrying echoes of abilities from past lives. Magic, a concept dismissed as myth, courses through him – raw, unpredictable, and utterly forbidden. Now, the glitch in the system possesses power that could either dismantle the oppressive order of his world... or plunge it into a darkness far more terrifying. With rogue AIs, secret societies, and augmented hunters on his trail, Elias must navigate this chaotic blend of superpowers and tech. Sarcasm is his shield, a rag-tag crew of fellow outcasts might become his allies, and the hunger for vengeance burns just as brightly as the need to unlock this impossible second chance.
