The ghouls came fast.

Faster than a typical mob.

Twisting. Sprinting. Twitching.

“Draw them left!” Kael shouted. “Lena—now!”

Lena let out a war cry and slammed her axe into the stone, baiting the first three. They chased with horrifying speed.

Kael focused on a cracked wall.

Backend Sight showed a flickering collision node—unstable.

He activated Exploit Injection.

Target: Wall Entity
Collision Modifier: NULLIFY + IMPACT FORCE REDIRECT

The wall trembled—then folded sideways like a hinge, collapsing onto two ghouls.

+12 XP
+15 XP

Kael ducked a slash and drove his blade into a third ghoul’s knee. It shrieked in static.

New Skill Unlocked: “Debug Step”
Effect: Instantly relocate through faulty terrain. Cooldown: 20 sec

He blinked to a different slab of debris—code slipping through his skin like static lightning.

He loved this class.

The system didn’t.

He could feel it pushing back—changing threads, closing loopholes. Every exploit got harder to reach.

But he was faster.
