The Root Protocol

In a cyberpunk world ruled by a god-like AI, where social status is coded by power, a low-ranked outcast discovers a key to a hidden virtual realm—a cryptic legacy from his fallen, genius father. Within this digital sandbox, he learns to weaponize pure logic, turning algorithms into devastating abilities. To change his fate, he must rise through brutal tournaments, forging rivalries and alliances with the system’s elite. But his true fight is a desperate race against time: to unravel the conspiracy that shattered his family and rescue his father’s consciousness from permanent deletion. His journey from a digital scavenger to a messiah of code will ultimately challenge the AI’s absolute control and decide the future of human free will.
