Harry Potter and the System’s Awakening (AU)

His life was a nightmare. At age six, orphaned, trapped in a freezing cupboard, starved and abused by the Dursleys, Harry Potter's only reality was pain and fear. Every day was a brutal chore list, every encounter a threat. He was just a boy wishing for escape. Then, something incredible happened. In the absolute darkness of his prison, a screen burst into light: [Welcome, Player: Harry James Potter]. His torment wasn't just suffering anymore. It was training ground. He had a System. Chores?

Witness the making of a different Boy-Who-Lived. A Player who mastered survival before magic, who knows hardship as EXP gain, and whose seemingly pathetic early years were secretly dedicated to one thing: arriving at Hogwarts years from now, not as an orphan who just learned magic is real, but as a quietly formidable force they never saw coming! He isn't just surviving anymore; he's dominating the grind !Alternative Universe (AU)
