The God Fragment

When the apocalypse glitches, only a broken god can debug reality. Kim Ji-Hoon’s life was coded in caffeine and crunch time. A reclusive game developer, he spent years building *Sanctum Online*—a survival game no one played. But when a 'glitched entity' claws its way out of his screen, whispering *“Not yet”* ,Ji-Hoon’s world fractures for real. The sky splits. Gravity stutters. Monsters step out of fiction and onto Seoul’s streets, devouring bodies and warping physics. Trapped in his apartment with a corpse and a baseball bat,Ji-Hoon kills his first goblin—just then **System** awakens, branding him *Kael Veythar*, a name unknown… yet somehow deeply his. Now, his rundown apartment becomes a **Sanctum**—a haven untouched by the apocalypse. Survivors begin to gather, drawn by instinct and whispers. When they speak his name, their faith ignites strange abilities. Magic. Light. Hope. And with every prayer, Ji-Hoon gains strength he doesn’t understand. But belief is a double-edged.Faith strength and doubt weakens his Sanctuary. And unseen gods—watching from fractured dimensions—begin choosing their incarnation, sponsoring survivors like players on a cosmic board. Some are protectors. Others, predators. And in the silence between stars, something unknown still listens. As dying gods murmur through static, and the world collapses into Abyss, Joon unravels the truth: This apocalypse isn’t random. The monsters, the glitches, the golden runes etched into his bones—they’re pieces of a divine war lost to history. The good news? He might be the saviour humanity needs to survive. The bad news? Saving them could mean becoming the very existence that doomed them all.
