Seeing her in the mall for the first time, when she collided into us, it was not planned it was an accident, she seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere, but why were she smiling even when Jezell was rude by showing her the third finger. No one has ever gotten under my skin like that before and it irritates the hell out of me, then her running in front the car, I know it was not on purpose. I could see she was in pain but why didn’t she say something, someone else might have shouted at me because I was wrong, and why was I so ignorant, I didn’t even know it was her.’

Every survivor is forced to choose a class and survive the first seventy-two hours. Everyone gets a class. Ethan gets an error. [Hidden Class Available: Bug Architect] Now he can see the flaws in the apocalypse itself: broken quests, corrupted monsters, locked doors, impossible rules, and safe zone systems no one else can touch. With every exploit, Ethan can save lives, build defenses, and turn one office floor into the last safe place in New York. But every unauthorized action damages his mind. And the System is watching. When the world is rewritten by broken rules, Ethan must decide whether to obey the apocalypse, survive it, or patch it.

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.

Kairos is just your average college student—introverted, a little awkward, and obsessed with his own little world of games, music, and formulas. But when he meets Ares, a sharp, mysterious, and unexpectedly quirky girl, his routine campus life is turned upside down. From late-night study marathons and exam-day chaos to stolen glances, awkward conversations, and the occasional Miku duet, Kairos finds himself navigating the trials of college life while discovering that sometimes, the weirdest people leave the biggest impressions. Funny, heartfelt, and occasionally disastrous, Patch Girl is a story about friendship, unexpected connections, and learning to survive both exams and the unpredictable chaos of the heart.

In a world where reality is a simulation, existence is a subscription you can’t afford. The universe has been compressed into the Infinite Archive, a procedural dungeon where every floor is a new era of history, and every soul is just a line of code managed by the corporate gods of The Root. For the elite, it’s a playground of magic and immortality. For everyone else, it’s a relentless grind to earn enough Mana-Credits just to keep their life from being "Uninstalled." Ren is a nobody. As a Janitor for Floor 99, his job is to clean up the blood of fallen heroes and reset the dungeon's traps. But Ren has a secret: he is a Null. To the Archive’s security sensors, he is invisible. He has no level, no stats, and no health bar. When a "Server Merge" goes wrong, Ren discovers a Zero-Day Vulnerability in the world’s source code. He realizes he doesn't need to learn spells to fight—he just needs to exploit the system’s logic. He doesn't cast fire; he deletes the air’s resistance. He doesn't dodge; he disables his own collision physics. He doesn't level up; he rewrites the rules. As the Archive begins to crash under the weight of its own corruption, the lowly Janitor must decide: will he fix the system that enslaved him, or will he use his Root Access to burn the simulation to the ground? "The world is a game. It’s time someone played it with the developer console open."

In a world where esports shapes legends, Liam “Haze” Foster isn’t just fighting for victory. Every match tests his limits, every loss rewrites who he is. He’s not chasing trophies, he’s chasing the missing pieces of himself. Join us on his journey, where every battle becomes a patch in the making of a true prodigy.

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled.
