Magic is the programming language of the world. But in a fantasy world, nobody has ever heard about programming. That is, nobody except Aurea. Formerly known as Aurora, she was reborn with all the knowledge she brought from Earth.

She spent the 40 years of her previous life studying society, science, programming, hermetism, mythology, and alchemy. She died financially broke and emotionally broken, but all her accumulated knowledge and her nerdiness are about to pay off.

She starts her life as the daughter of a slave, set against impossible odds from the beginning. But if incantations work as a programming language, then she knows exactly what to do to turn the tables. Words and syntax were the bread and butter of her former life, and material components look more like APIs and plugins.

Update Schedule is according to my time, which means Brazil Time (GMT -03). I wouldn’t be able to keep track of all time zones and the ever-floating Summer Saving Times and stuff, so you can either calculate it to your time zone or just get used to it, because it won’t be changing for some time (I hope never, actually). I’m keeping some stockpiled chapters and always getting the posts scheduled, and any unforeseen circumstances will be explained in time.

Every day:

What NOT to expect in this novel:
- Explicit sex content
- Depiction of slavery in any “good side” or “positive light.” Slavery is Evil, period.
- The MC to enter a straight relationship
- Harem
- NTR
- Any form of race superiority or inferiority discourse
- Sexism
- Random banter about food or entire chapters dedicated to food (I mean, I love food as much as anyone else; I’m just too tired of every single isekai novel having entire chapters describing food)

What TO expect in this novel:
- A slow-burn story
- Brain beats brawn
- Action scenes, though they aren’t the first focus
- The MC may enter romantic relationships, but they take more of a backstage role
- People trying to live healthy polyamorous relationships. They might succeed or fail, but the important thing is that this isn’t about one person taking center stage and everyone else worshipping them
- Sex might be mentioned or implied, but never more than that
- Sometimes the characters might use strong language
- Sadism
- No, really. Sadism. Aurea might be originally a 40-year-old from Earth, but a child's brain is a child's brain and very susceptible to trauma. The roughness of the environment of her upbringing might warp her personality a bit. This isn’t to say that she will be down a villainess path. She will just have some pleasure in making evil people suffer. Think of Yae Miko in her character demo, “Anecdote of a Divine Kitsune Guuji,” which you can find on YouTube. It’s that kind of “ludic sadism.”

"And there she goes being scary again."


As I hear Ingela's voice, I look up from the paladin, only to then see that everyone in the room is staring at me.


"It's okay. We're just used to it at this point."


"Yeah, and it isn't like he hadn't had it coming."


"I just hope I never get on your bad side."


Thank you, Yaci and Kwarah. And I don't think that this is the time for this, Ingela.


As I struggle to not snap a witty remark at Ingela's comments, she smiles, catching me off guard.


"I'm just messing with you, Aurea. It's not like I'm one to talk. These paladins are harvesting what they sowed."


The paladin in this room is not the leader of the paladins in the temple, from what De Arlanda said. He was probably just the leader of the group that was allowed to do their prayers here in the nave today.
