Matrix Refiner: Privatizing the Gods' Buggy Mess

[My name is Felix. I wrote the code that ruined the world. Now, I'm going to eat the system that ordered it.] World is Farm #404. The Architects designed Gender Wars to divide us, Consumerism to drain us, Fate to chain us, and Biowarfare to annihilate us. They aren't gods; they are lazy developers feeding on our entropy. I should know. I was their top Enforcer—the Chief Actuary of Apex Corp. I turned human pain into profit graphs... until the System decided I was a "redundant asset." They tried to delete me with a truck crash. Big mistake. They didn't just fail to kill me; they gave me access to the Source Code. Now, armed with the [Singularity Furnace], I don't follow the laws of physics—I rewrite them. A truck hitting me isn't death; it's free Kinetic Energy. A curse isn't a debuff; it's a new Skill waiting to be compiled. I am gathering a squad of "Malignant Glitches"—a hacker worked to death, a courier killed by a timer, an idol erased by a scandal. The cruel irony? They are all victims of the algorithms I created. I cannot bring them back to life, but I can do something better: I can lead them to burn the High-Dimensional Pantheon to the ground.

Expect face-slapping, data-devouring, and the collapse of capitalist deities.)

Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

(Chapters 1 to 40 are being edited right now) (Note: Reading Prologue is not necessary, hence why it's an Auxiliary Chapter) The Path to Immortality is elusive, and everyone wants to achieve it even if there's only a glimmer of hope. Tian Yongheng is a person who regained his past life memories after his family was brutally slaughtered. His extreme fear of death and desire to be undying have forced him to step onto this dangerous path of Immortal Cultivation. He is not a Chosen One who is the favored son of heavens, nor is he the reincarnation of a Great Emperor. Armed with a unique system of unknown origins and his obsession with immortality, he sets forth to carve a way of his own in this world where fate toys with one's very existence itself and cosmic horror-like beings devour universes for fun. However, can he really touch the illusory, eternal and ethereal Immortal Dao that is everlasting and everchanging? Will he ever be able to reach the end of this grand path to eternity, establishing himself as a myth and beyond? or will he also drown in the long river of history just like many others? ------- The background settings and world building of this story are greatly inspired by Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years. the main characters are also pretty similar, so if you like stories where the MC is a hidden powerhouse who, despite being hidden, is still known across the world, then you can give it a try. Please be patient while reading, as this is my first time writing a novel and don't hesitate to point out any mistakes I do in the comments. Also, I'm not a native of China, so there are probably going to be a lot of mistakes in names and history and stuff, please bear with it. Note: English is not my first language and the cover image is not mine.

Lord Of The Sovereign Death

“I will save my motherland… no matter what it costs.” He said it once—without knowing what that promise would demand. --- Four years ago, the multiverse did not fall into war. It was dragged into extinction. Kingdoms burned without resistance. Rulers bowed or were erased. Entire civilizations vanished before they could even scream. The Demandres did not conquer. They consumed. --- No alliance could stop them. No army could stand. Even the gods… remained silent. Hope was not lost— It simply never existed. --- And then— Everything ended. Not slowly. Not through victory. Not through sacrifice. But in a single moment that no one could explain. --- The war that was meant to destroy everything… Stopped. --- There was no battlefield left. No enemy left. No answer left. --- Only a name. A name spoken in fear. A name erased from records. A name that no one dares to claim they understand. The Lord of Death. --- The world survived. But no one knew why. --- Now, four years later— The silence is breaking. --- The Nine Ancient Books, relics that govern the very fabric of existence, have begun to awaken. Among them, one stands above all in terror and taboo: The Abyssal Codex of Eternal Night. A book that does not grant power. A book that devours it. A book that should have never been opened. --- And yet— It has. --- At the center of this unraveling fate stands Emilie— Not a chosen one. Not a legend. Not someone the world was waiting for. And still— She steps forward. --- Because when everything begins to fall apart again… Someone has to stand. --- Beside her walk those bound not by destiny—but by something far more dangerous: A man whose silence hides a past the world has already forgotten. A warrior who smiles in battle, yet fears the day he fails to protect. A blade that has already lost everything once—and refuses to lose again. A princess who abandoned her world, chasing a truth she may never survive. --- Together, they move toward a future that feels all too familiar. A future that has already ended once before. --- Because the war that nearly erased the multiverse… Was not a conclusion. It was a warning. --- And the one who ended it— Was not a savior. --- But something far beyond it. --- Now, as the Codex awakens… As the balance of existence begins to collapse once more… As the shadows of the past begin to breathe again— --- One truth slowly resurfaces. --- If the world is pushed to the edge again… There may not be anyone left to stop what comes next. --- And the promise once made— “To save my motherland…” --- May demand a price… Even the soul cannot repay.
