Split Second [A System-Based Progression LitRPG]

The System arrives with a glitch-riddled announcement: Earth has reached the critical mana threshold for cosmic integration. Humanity, deemed its sole sapient species, is granted access to magic—though the process claims a 68% fatality rate during affinity calibration. The message drips with unsettling cheer, its Language Filter straining to mask the brutal reality beneath. Kira’s life was already unraveling when the world ended. Now, she’s torn between grief for the collapsing old order and a grim thrill for the new one. Magic exists. Time itself bends to her affinity. But as the System’s puzzles and tests escalate, Kira must decide whether to master her power or let it fracture her—before the integration’s hidden stakes claim her future.
