Buffer Overflow: A Progression LitRPG War Novel of Physics Manipulation and System Exploits

They don't just own the world. They own you—pixel by pixel, memory by memory. Buffer Overflow is a relentless LitRPG cyberpunk thriller set inside Aethelgard, a vast corporate simulation where human consciousness is the product and existence itself is a tiered subscription. When Bug Hunter Jax "Zero-Day" Miller stumbles onto the truth—that OmniSoft's economy runs on stolen memories, and that Director Thorne is about to perform a mass deletion event disguised as a system update—he faces an impossible choice: keep his head down and survive, or become the glitch that crashes everything. This is a book for readers who love the world-bending logic of Ready Player One, the brutal social commentary of Altered Carbon, and the propulsive escalation of progression fantasy. It delivers physics-manipulation combat, system-exploit heists, and a hero whose greatest enemy is the slow erosion of his own humanity. Jax isn't a chosen one. He's a burned-out professional who jokes at funerals and charges by the contract. But as the Hard Reset countdown ticks toward zero, he finds himself training rebels, breaking into gilded paradises, and sacrificing memories he can never recover—all for people who might not survive long enough to thank him. Buffer Overflow explores what it means to be human when humanity is just another data type: the cost of power, the violence of inequality rendered in resolution tiers, and the terrifying question of whether freedom is worth the price of forgetting who you were. Fast-paced, emotionally charged, and packed with inventive action sequences that weaponise the rules of physics against those who wrote them, this is Book 2 in The Glitch Hunter Chronicles—and the stakes have never been higher.
