Codename: Zero
Codename: Zero
When the world fell, no one remembered who started it only that the sky cracked and monsters poured through the rift. From the ashes of humanity’s collapse rose a new law, a new faith, and a new god: the System.
Now, centuries later, society is rebuilt under the iron rule of the Regime a government that controls every Hunter, every dungeon, and every breath drawn within its walls. To live, one must serve. To disobey, one must die.
Among those cast aside by this world is Lee Jaehyuk, a nineteen-year-old drifter whose family was framed and executed by the Regime. Homeless, broken, and stripped of everything, he survives on scraps and spite until fate leads him to a forgotten wreck buried deep within the forest.
There, in the heart of ruin, he finds it.
> The Aegis Console - Prototype.
The first and original system.
The one even the gods failed to destroy.
Marked as Codename: Zero, Jaehyuk awakens to power beyond imaginationa system capable of bending the laws of every other. But in a world where strength defines worth and control defines survival, his gift is both his weapon and his curse.
As he rises through dungeons, guilds, and conspiracies that pierce the heart of the Regime itself, one truth becomes clear:
> The system wasn’t created to save humanity.
It was created to test it.
