In a shattered world once governed by flawless systems and divine-class AIs, Kael is born broken. No class. No stats. No Soulcode. In a world where strength is defined by the system embedded in your very essence, Kael is a Null—a glitch, an error, a discard. He was meant to be deleted. But something went wrong. When a system fracture triggers a global reboot, Kael awakens with access not to a class… but to the roots of the system itself. He can read hidden code. Hijack broken skills. Steal fragments of forgotten classes. And worse: he learns to evolve outside the system’s control. Hunted by corrupted AI remnants, rogue players-turned-monsters, and system-cleaner entities, Kael must navigate a ruined game-world teetering on the edge of collapse. Ancient guilds war over glitch-ridden relics. Towering megastructures hide lost classes. Memory shards hold the truth of what really destroyed the world. With every kill, he steals power. With every secret uncovered, the system adapts. And with every level… he becomes something less human. Or something more. He was supposed to be nothing. Now he might be the only one who can break the system—or remake it in his own image.

Magic is easy! You just have to get your soul vibrating at the right frequency, isn't it? Don't forget the gestures for the spells! But beware... every power has its price, and though we may not know it at first, every payment we make is recorded, and one day we will have to pay our debts. Séraphine Rohan is a witch, perhaps something special in this world, but not even she would dare to fight against the increasingly powerful firearms. Neon lights, soft music and extravagant living! Prosperity is everywhere in this world where idealism meets materialism and mysticism meets science. Where gangsters can be more dangerous than a werewolf and fairy dust is used as a recreational substance. But what lies beneath this veil of glamour, wealth and colorful lights? The decadence of humanity is not only material, but also spiritual, and sometimes... this is reflected in our surroundings more than we think. Join Séraphine Rohan as she explores this world full of interesting creatures, solves cases as a detective and embarks on various adventures driven by money, or maybe it's those ideals she doesn't want to talk about? All this while reality becomes more and more confusing and incomprehensible before her eyes. By the way, how about toasting this psychedelic story with a glass of wine? ------------------------ Cover made by TheAnPlayer2.

My Goddess Slave Guys, imagine gods. You think they care? They don’t. They lie. They’re selfish. They only care about themselves. I died before. In my first reincarnation, I slayed the Demon King. I should’ve been a hero. But the kingdom branded me a criminal. They killed me. After that it was like I never existed. I woke up to the cold goddess. She promised to send me back to Earth. I became a king the one who killed the Demon King, with my soldiers. But after some time, they overthrew me. I died in that mountain cave. This time, I’m done playing by the gods' rules. This time, I’m doing me. Not the gods. Then I found a beautiful goddess after I died again. She reincarnated me into her world, thinking I’d help her fight the Demon King and go home. But she doesn’t know how hard it is to unite people. She doesn’t know what this world is really like. I showed her. She found out the truth that monsters are more kind and loyal than humans. Humans? They betray. They destroy. They don’t even care about the goddess. So she stopped blessing humans And started blessing monsters. Now they call her the new Demon King. But to me? She’s just my goddess slave.

Everyone said their story was over. Sorata and Mashiro. The genius girl and her boyfriend. People call it a happy ending, but I knew better. I knew how broken Mashiro really was, how no one ever saw her as a person. They treated her like some pet, a quiet genius doll to admire or joke about, without caring what she felt inside. She said she love him, but I could see it... She didn't even know what love meant. Her eyes were empty. Her silence was louder than any words. When I ended up in this world, I couldn't stand it. I didn't come here to play hero or fix her. I just wanted to walk beside her. So, we started small. Making games together, pixel by pixel, one tiny dream at a time. And maybe, just maybe, she'll find those lost color inside her again... the ones that make life worth living.

Work became her priority, and Haruki… was left behind. The warmth of their relationship faded, and intimacy became a distant memory.

And for the first time in years, Haruki felt something awaken inside him—something dangerous, something forbidden. Living under the same roof, two lonely souls cross paths.
