Ghost in the System

When the System arrives and transforms most of humanity into zombies, an introverted loner is among the first to choose a class. His preferred options are taken, so he ends up with the Gold-tier Ghost class — bonuses questionable. Armed with unusual abilities and a deeply antisocial temperament, he tries to survive in a world that keeps demanding things from him.

The end of the world turned out not to be a nightmare for Kasp — it actually gave his life new meaning. His once-antisocial hero now talks to people more than ever before. The System has also gifted him an artifact: a zombie head that never shuts up. The best present for an introvert whose only talent was thinking.

The System keeps throwing new experiences at Kasp and his friends. For example, it awarded him the title of Head of the Settlement — a role he has absolutely no intention of filling. Every day brings new dangers and new possibilities, but Kasp remains determined to vanish and let someone else handle the responsibilities.

The System continues to entertain and complicate the lives of the planet's survivors. Kasp just wants peace and quiet. So naturally, the System made him leader of a settlement and buried him in responsibilities. He's a Ghost, though — so he plans to vanish into thin air and let someone else deal with it.

The System didn't only bring death — it gave people the chance to develop, to found settlements, and to stick together. Kasp had the good fortune to found his own settlement. But this is no ordinary settlement. A City of Ghosts... sounds bad, doesn't it?

Over time, the peoples of the world found ways to contact each other again — the System allowing trade, communication, and even travel between continents. For Kasp, with his flying city and ability to teleport, the question is whether any of that actually matters to him. He never had much empathy for anyone. But if it comes to saving his home world, maybe it's worth changing his outlook.

With every new phase of development, the System provides more answers — about its purpose, why it came, and what happens after it leaves. Along with those answers come new questions: why does it have to go, and wouldn't it be better to stay? Kasp still has to figure it all out, and decide whether it's even worth trying to get rid of the System at all.
