Network Node

The Code is Broken. The Void is Hungry. It’s Time to Rewrite the Rules.

Jake Mercer has survived the initial crash, but hiding in a bunker won't save New Harbor. The System is glitching, reality is tearing at the seams, and a new threat—the Glitch King—is terraforming the city into a digital nightmare.

To fight back, Jake must evolve from a survivor into an Admin.

With his level cap rising, Jake unlocks [Zone Architect], a power that lets him edit the laws of physics within his territory. But building a Sanctuary requires mana, and mana requires a bond deeper than code.

The Cluster is growing. Jake’s psychic link with Nina, his unbreakable Tank, and Daphne, his chaotic Technopath, is pushed to the breaking point. To stabilize the network, they must rescue a new ally from the depths of a corrupted dungeon: Serara, a High Elf Mage displaced from a deleted fantasy server.

Together, they must raid the neon-soaked horror of the Amusement Pier, hack the city's ley lines, and stand their ground against General Stone’s "Protocol Omega"—a nuclear option designed to purge them all.

Jake is done playing by the rules. It’s time to build a Fortress.

Book Two of the LEVEL UP HERO series features dungeon diving, complex base-building mechanics, Admin-level exploits, and a spicy, slow-burn harem that powers the ultimate defense.
