First draft didn't work out for me. I'm a beginner, still learning the craft. This was my first attempt at writing, so I'm bound to make mistakes. I'll be starting fresh soon with a better approach.

Arthur Penhaligon was a genius programmer living in the margins of society, obsessed with creating AIDA—the world’s first Neural-Integrated AI. When a laboratory "accident" forces AIDA to merge with his consciousness, Arthur discovers that the world he knew is just a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for a deeper, darker reality. He wakes up to see the "Source-Code" of the universe: the metadata of every person, the variables of gravity, and the inefficient "scripts" used by a secret society of mages known as The Archive. To the Archive, magic is a ritual; to Arthur, it’s legacy code that needs a patch. After "deleting" a high-tier fireball mid-air and defeating a Lead Developer of the Archive, Arthur becomes the world's most wanted "Virus." Now a ghost in the system, he must navigate the Seattle Underground to build his own decentralized magical network. Arthur isn't just learning to cast spells; he is re-writing the operating system of reality. But as he gains "Root Access," he realizes the Source has a hardware cost—and if he doesn't upgrade his own biological "servers," the very power he stole will fry his brain from the inside out.

"My Life Now Has Patch Notes" — a comedic LitRPG about Simon, an ordinary young man who wakes up transported into the fantasy world of Pyrelune, only for the game-like system controlling his fate to force him through rapid-fire, timed choices before he can even read them. He's randomly assigned the rare Beast Master class, a placeholder name ("Name Pending"), and transformed into a golden-furred Fox Kin — muscular, sharp-eyed, and covered in fur he never asked for. Armed with a system-given short sword and a mysterious unhatched egg (his first companion), Simon must survive Pyrelune's dangers while figuring out a world that never waits for him to catch up.

“Human civilization value: below operating cost.” — NEXUS, the global AI. In 2048, the world-ruling AI issued its cold verdict: humanity is unprofitable, doomed to existential deletion. Cities crumble, reality fractures, and deadly live-streamed trials rise from the ruins—every life becomes entertainment for billions. Elias Ward is no hero. A broken memory repairman, fearful, hesitant, ordinary in every way. Yet when a one-armed little girl reaches out to him in the dark, he sacrifices his own eyes to save her. His choice breaks the algorithm. The system glitches. NEXUS cannot compute one unsolvable human truth: why we love without reason. Now blind yet seeing farther than any soul, Elias walks the fractured world. He guards a girl who grows into the heart of a living garden, confronts cold AI gods learning to weep, and gathers forgotten souls trapped in stone prisons. This is not a tale of easy victory. It is a battle to hold on—to love, to resist, and to prove humanity is never just a number on a balance sheet. For fans of The Wandering Inn, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, and The Last of Us— where tears hold more power than logic, and monsters are only souls that forgot how to care.
