The Glitch Ascendence

"They call me a mistake. But to me, a world that treats suffering as 'efficiency' is the true error." Under the unchanging skies of Aeterna, millions live in a fabricated harmony. In this realm, every breath is an algorithm, every tear is a rendering glitch, and every death is merely the deletion of an obsolete file. To the High-Archon, order is everything. To the commoners, obedience is survival. Yet, in the darkest corner forgotten by the server’s light—Sector 13—lives Kai. As an Extractor, Kai spends his days scavenging through mounds of binary refuse, searching for residual memories to trade for a mere handful of stability. He is nothing but dust within a gargantuan machine—at least until he stumbles upon an anomaly that should never have existed. A fragment of code that grants him the sight to see the world not as matter, but as a fragile string of binary syllables. Alongside Diogenes, the only father figure in this cold, synthetic world, Kai learns that reality is but a thin veil masking an unimaginable rot. But truth demands a heavy price. When the Inquisition catches his scent and betrayal bleeds from those he once trusted, the lantern that had long protected him is extinguished in a pool of data-blood. Bereft of a name, a home, and mercy, Kai begins his ascent from the trash heaps toward the apex of the digital pyramid. He will infiltrate, he will deceive, and he will betray reality itself. For to topple a god forged of logic, you do not need a blade... you only need one unstoppable Glitch.

He who bought the future

In 2026, Kang Min-Jae dies as he lived—silently. A senior strategist for one of Korea’s largest conglomerate families, Min-Jae spent his life handling the company’s dirtiest secrets: political bribes, financial crimes, and crimes that never reached the news. Loyal, efficient, and utterly disposable, he is murdered the moment his value outweighs his usefulness. Death, however, is not the end. Beyond frozen time, Min-Jae meets a god who does not rule—he invests. Offered a contract instead of judgment, Min-Jae accepts a deal that sends him back to 1980, the year of his birth. In exchange for altering fate, a divine system—C.A.I.R.O.S—awakens within him, granting insight into causality, markets, and future events. This time, Min-Jae refuses to be a pawn. Armed with knowledge of coming financial crises, technological booms, and political shifts, he begins building wealth from childhood—through trading, offshore investments, tax havens, and proxy firms spanning Korea and the United States. While hiding behind the identity of a model student, he enters Korea’s most prestigious law school to master the rules that once trapped him. His goal is not revenge. His goal is dominance. To accumulate wealth and influence on a scale rivaling the world’s greatest financial dynasties—so that his two sisters and two younger brothers will never be forced to sacrifice their dreams for survival. As trillions move at his command and history begins to bend, the god who invested in him watches closely—ready to collect his share. Because in this world, even rebirth has a price.

Escaping the Rogue Evolution System

Enslaved for a million years and given a chance to redo it again. One day, a mysterious meteor from the stars fell in front of me, Aerus. Unbeknownst to me, it contained an alien Cube from another universe, one of which without magic but science. It controlled my body with the promise of power and evolution—a chance to overcome my missing magical talents. Unfortunately, I was unaware it got corrupted after passing through the barrier between universes. Through me, it had the perverted desire to create the ultimate evolutionary lifeform; something that could wield god magic and have an immortal body. For a million years, it controlled my mind to eat every living creature I could lay my eyes on... until we met the Void Whale. The System was powerless before the True God-like creature. When it opened its mouth, I was sucked in and everything became dark. After I opened my eyes again, it was the day before the System's destined arrival. “Time to redo everything and win.” This is my story.

Revenant Slaves

In a far future where Earth is deliberately burned clean, the self-anointed Emperor of Mankind shepherds “the worthy” into the stars, while his Living Flame reduces the rest to ash. Humanity calls it mercy. Something older calls it victory. A formless Enemy, impossible, forgotten, and somehow responsible for birthing the Emperor’s Flame, watches the exodus with a smile, before vanishing into the cracks of reality. A thousand years later, that hidden war surfaces in three births that shouldn’t matter… but do. Zain is welcomed into life by a mother’s forbidden protection, sealed from the Living Flame and doomed to be an outcast. On the mining hellworld Mortrum, Ash grows up under acid rain and slavery’s cruelty, fighting to protect the only family he has, until one violent moment of self-defense changes him forever. And in the gleaming halls of House Whiterock, Luna, the “Silver Princess,” is heir to a throne… yet denied the Flame’s gifts, surrounded by smiling nobles who fear her weakness and a father who despises her for existing. Watching all three is Avraham Darkflame, an Inquisitor with no Flame of his own, a debt to repay, and a plan set in motion by a prophecy he refuses to ignore. He has seen these children in chains of light, connected to countless others shackled by blood and belief. As the Empire tightens its grip and the Inquisition hunts whispers of heresy, three young lives begin to bend the fate of billions… a conclusion that could break the Living Flame’s dominion but may ignite something far worse.
