Apex Override: The Zero-Percent Tamer

"I died out of breath, running from corporate assassins, only to wake up mid-sprint in a new body, chased by a mutated academy training-hound." Virek was the underworld's laziest, most brilliant data-broker, until a plasma bolt ended his life. Now, he's Nyros, a mocked Beast Tamer at the Stratos Spire with a literal 0% capture rate. In a world where Tamers are only as good as the bio-horrors they command, Nyros is the ultimate trash. But Virek despises physical labor. Instead of throwing capture rings, he discovers a glitch in the Neural-Sys: by fully reading and decoding a monster's genetic lore, he bypasses taming completely and permanently downloads their abilities into his own body. When a city-destroying Titan breaches the planetary shield, the elites prepare to die. Virek just sighs, uses a stolen Kaiju-tier skill, and obliterates the disaster with a single hit. Now, the government wants to dissect him, his academy rivals are terrified, and the assassins who killed his past self are closing in on his new one. Can a lazy genius survive when being the strongest means everyone wants you dead?
