Chapter 1: Three Meals Away from a Breakdown

Carl Ellison wasn't summoned. He didn't reincarnate. He just wanted lunch.

Then Truck-Kun.exe hit, and Carl woke up in Neo Phobos-a gamified mega-city run by emotion-suppressing AIs, where life is a subscription and identity is a premium package.

There's just one problem: Carl has no neural link. He can't be optimized. And the system doesn't know what to do with a guy who's basically a walking glitch.

As factions clash, overlords rage-quit, and reality keeps patching itself, Carl's hunt for a sandwich turns into a rebellion against a world that forgot how to feel.

This isn't your average isekai. It's meta, messy, and emotionally unlicensed.
