Synopsis
The world is a game of numbers, and Han Jinsu is a rounding error. Since the "Veils" tore through reality, humanity has been defined by a single metric: Mana Capacity (MCAP). For the elite, it is a ticket to godhood. For Han Jinsu, a Porter with a permanent MCAP of 0.00, it is a life sentence of invisibility and ridicule. As a "Null-Boy" for the prestigious Iron-Blood Guild, he is nothing more than human luggage—until the day the numbers stop making sense. During a routine sweep of a C-Rank dungeon, an S-Rank anomaly—an Abyssal Arbiter—manifests. Trapped and betrayed by his own team, Jinsu is used as a sacrificial decoy. He is left to die in the dark, a shadow-claw pierced through his heart. But you cannot subtract from Zero. At the brink of death, a jagged, glitching system awakens within him: The Nihil Engine. It doesn't offer him levels, quests, or traditional skills. It offers him Erasure. Now, Jinsu has returned from the grave with a hunger that mana cannot satisfy. He doesn't just defeat his enemies; he consumes their existence, converting their power into Void Saturation. From the back-alley "Black-Market" dungeons to the gilded halls of the Nine Pillars—the corrupt titans who rule the world—Jinsu begins a cold, calculated ascent. The hunters believe they are at the top of the food chain. They are wrong. A glitch has entered the system, and it is coming to delete everything they’ve built. Warning: This system is not designed for your survival; every step toward godhood is a step away from your humanity.

Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE: THE UNIVERSAL GLITCH

In the beginning, there was the System, and the System said: "Let there be Value." Every soul was weighed, measured, and assigned a number that determined their right to exist.

The world became a ledger of Mana, where the strong were Gods and the weak were waste. But the System made a mistake—it left a hole in the fabric of reality.

[Name: Han Jinsu] [Mana Capacity: 0.00]

In a universe defined by addition, Jinsu was the ultimate subtraction. He was the ghost in the machine, the silence in the symphony, and the error that could not be fixed.

While the "Heroes" built their empires on pillars of light, a cold hunger stirred in the shadows. The boy with nothing discovered that "Zero" wasn't a lack of power—it was the power to end everything.

You cannot burn what is already ash. You cannot kill what does not exist.

[The Nihil Engine has detected a world filled with excess.] [Instruction: Begin Deletion.]

The countdown to the end of the world didn't start with a bang or a whimper. It started with a single, quiet heartbeat from the man who was never supposed to be alive.
