The Platinum Glitch

Virot was perfectly happy napping in the server rooms of the Glass Lotus Orphanage. But during the grand engagement gala of the Trakhara family's golden son, their rivals, the Siriphan clan, drop a bombshell: the golden son is a fake, and Virot is the true bloodline heir. Dragged into the glittering, venomous world of Ayuthara's elite, Virot is expected to cower before the snobs who mock his cheap clothes and lazy demeanor. Instead, Virot completely misunderstands the situation. Raised on the temple's teachings of digital enlightenment, he assumes this 'high society' is a sprawling, city-wide Alternate Reality Game designed as his final exam. When arrogant socialites try to humiliate him, Virot treats them like annoying NPC encounters, casually hacking their smart-implants, zeroing out their digital clout, and live-streaming their darkest secrets to bypass what he thinks are 'dialogue checks.' As the fake heir schemes to destroy him and Narija Siriphan - the rival heiress who exposed him - realizes she's unleashed a monster, Virot sleepwalks through his accidental conquest of the upper class. Will anyone realize he isn't a ruthless mastermind before he accidentally hits the city's factory reset button?
