Jaden Cross is a young man trying to survive in the shadows of Neo-Lagos, a futuristic city where the poor live in broken homes and forgotten slums. Orphaned at six and forced to grow up fast, Jaden spends his days fixing scraps and dreaming of a better world—a world he believes he’ll never see.

Until one night, everything changes.

A mysterious glowing orb appears in the sky and connects with Jaden’s mind, activating the Tech Architect System—a powerful, sci-fi interface that gives him access to futuristic blueprints, instant-building tools, and system quests that reward him for solving real-world problems.

His first quest? Restore power to his neighborhood using solar microgrids.

Soon, Jaden is building cooling shelters, clean energy systems, and AI-run apartments—one project at a time. But with each success, he draws more attention. The city’s leaders want to control him. A rival from the tech underworld wants to steal the system. And darker forces are watching from the skies, waiting for the Architect to grow.

Armed with only his mind, his hands, and the Tech Architect System, Jaden must rise from the ruins of poverty and become the builder of a new future.

But in a city full of secrets, will he remain its hero… or become its biggest threat?

Jaden felt a cold dread clamp around his heart. They had adapted. They weren't just eating reality; they were learning to sing a song that would make reality consume itself. The ultimate test was not in the strength of their shield, but in the harmony of their very existence. He had to act, and fast, before Genesis vibrated into non-existence. The visionary leader, having built an impossible world, now faced an enemy that understood its very song. The Conflux groaned, not from structural strain, but from a profound, internal dissonance as the Void-Eaters' insidious resonant frequency began to unravel Genesis from the inside.
