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.”

The beastkin never had a system to get used to, so they wouldn't get affected by the excommunication.


By now, most of them, and all the human soldiers of the hidden army, are proficient in systemless magic.


One of the few members of the army that is still mainly a melee fighter is the leader of the fox beastkin, Yaci.


For that very reason, she's the one in charge of organizing the troops that came from the main army.


According to Aurea's strategy, every soldier of the hidden army was given a crossbow and enough ammo, no matter what their role was before.


The bolts fly through the air and, before reaching the midway point, go through some elemental transformation. Some catch fire, some turn into icicles, and some crackle with electricity.


Yaci smiled yet again at the effectiveness of these attacks on the army that was almost reaching the walls at this moment.
