Once a man betrayed, Andy shut down his heart and became more machine than human—a perfect being, efficient, emotionless. Years of trust lost turned him into a robot in body and soul, a mind wired for logic, untouched by warmth, love, or laughter. Everything changes the moment he meets Eilen, a woman equally guarded, walls built high around her own heart. Slowly, through her persistence, kindness, and the chaotic energy of five remarkable girls, Andy begins to feel again—the small sparks of humanity returning one by one. “Heartwired” is the story of rebirth: a journey from mechanical precision to emotional depth, from isolation to connection, as Andy learns to embrace love, trust, and family. Every laugh, every tear, every chaotic breakfast becomes a step toward being truly alive. But will the scars of betrayal allow him to fully open his heart, or will he remain half-robot forever? A tale of healing, transformation, and the fragile power of human emotion, where one man’s rebirth changes not only himself, but everyone around him.

“You’ve probably seen this play out a thousand times. Some guy dies, gets reincarnated, and is immediately bestowed a System or a Cheat on Day 1. I, sadly, was not afforded the same luxury... All I got was a Bat-themed mentor and the vile Essence of a Demon flowing through my veins... Lucky me?"

"I am the master. The world is my puppet."   "Humans are foolish creatures. It is easy to tug their strings once you know their secrets, their desires, their fears, the small shameful things they bury where they think no one can find them. And I can always find them."   "Everyone has a string. I have never met a person who did not." __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In a near-future city where neural implants called gizmos connect every person to a shared digital cloud, a university student named Aron Doyle stands at the edge of his own life. Poor. Invisible. Out of reasons to stay.   He logs into the cloud one final night, but someone is already waiting.   An offer. The ability to see inside people, to read their subconscious data through the gizmo signal, to know their secrets before they act on them, to find the string that moves any person before they know a string exists. The Puppet Master System.   He accepts.   By day he is nobody, the quiet transfer student  at  Shinsei University. By night, in the cloud, he is Nox. The Puppet Master. A name whispered in the digital shadows with the reverence reserved for things people cannot explain and cannot stop.   He is not the only one. Others operate across the city …puppet masters trained and placed by the organization that built the system. But they work for something. Nox works for himself.   It begins with survival. Then it becomes a service. Then the service becomes pleasure. Then the pleasure becomes something darker. Something he stopped examining a long time ago. The hunger for power.  _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Power is not a destination. It is a flowing current.   You do not arrive at it and stop , you are carried by it, and the carrying changes the shape of you, and by the time you notice the change you are already somewhere you did not plan to go. Take drop from the pond and you want the river. Take the river and you want the sea. The hunger insatiable. You lose yourself to it.  _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A single human is weak. Readable. Easy to manipulate.   Four hands can stop two fists. Not by being stronger. By being more.   Humans are strongest in tens of thousands. Their will unbendable. Unreadable.  _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Driven by his hunger for power. He rises to heights no other puppet master has reached. The city bends around him without knowing it is bending.   The question remains. Who is there to stop him?   A story of a man who took one drop from the pond of power and could not stop drinking...    And a puppet master who rises to hold the strings of the world itself.

Ethan Carter was invisible—a poor, silent young man no one noticed, struggling to survive in a city that chewed up the weak. Life humiliated him, crushed him, and left him broken… until the system appeared. A mysterious authority system offered him power, wealth, and control over everyone around him. But nothing comes free. Every task tests his mind, his morals, and his heart. As he rises from poverty to unimaginable influence, enemies emerge, secrets unravel, and the women in his life challenge everything he thought he wanted. In a world where control equals survival, can Ethan become untouchable without losing himself? Or will absolute power demand the ultimate sacrifice?

Every villain is scripted to die. Kael Voss was the hero who always won—until death flipped the board. He wakes in the body of the first boss he ever killed: a shadow lord doomed to fall in chapter one, forgotten fodder for the chosen one. No more playing nice. With perfect game knowledge and the forbidden Shadow Sovereign System, Kael turns the script inside out. The “hero” who slaughtered him? Now prey. The gods who wrote his fate? Blind to the rewrite. He schemes from the dark, grows stronger in silence, and carves his own ending. The light thinks it’s destined to win. Kael knows better. One shadow against the entire story. This time, the villain finishes what he started. (Drop a power stone if you want the villain to win big!)

A man wakes up in a New York alley with nothing — no money, no identity, no explanation — and a holographic interface only he can see, pulled straight from the logic of Grand Theft Auto V. The world around him is Marvels. The interface does not care. It simply waits for him to get to work. By day he is a biophysics student at Columbia University. By night he is building something the city hasn't noticed yet. He keeps the two lives completely separate, trains his body and mind like they are instruments, and treats every problem — whether it belongs to a lecture hall or a darkened warehouse — with the same cold precision. He has no powers. He has no allies he fully trusts. He has a plan, a crew of two, and a rule he does not break: no corners cut, no questions answered, no one allowed close enough to see the whole picture. New York, however, has other ideas. Not every thief in this city works alone — and not every complication arrives wearing a mask.

Zombies and magic and… cat girls?! Oh my! The world crumbles into chaos when a necromancer brings the dead to life and unintentionally unleashes magic into the modern world. The undead overwhelm his city and Grayson, along with his brain-implanted AI companion Becca, finds himself fighting to survive a modern world transforming into a fantasy hellscape. Fantastical monsters emerge, magic appears and demihumans are suddenly running around—Chaos is everywhere. Between recruiting survivors, learning how to use magic, fighting power-hungry villains, and researching a cure for the zombieism, Grayson discovers that saving the world is exhausting. But hey, at least the new world has cat girls. That's a win, right? Maybe living through the apocalypse isn’t so bad after all. If only Grayson could get this sassy AI in his head under control. What to expect: • Zombies. Duh. • Modern world slowly turns to Fantasy world as magic rewrites reality. • Cool sci-fi gadgets. • No system. But there is a status screen thanks to Becca that lists skills, companions, and physical stats. • Progression fantasy where Grayson and crew develop magical abilities and get stronger over time. • Slow-build relationships with a large cast of characters that grows, shrinks, and sometimes gets eaten. • An in-universe soundtrack because even the apocalypse needs a playlist. Much to Becca’s satisfaction, no AIs were harmed (or used) in the creation of this story.

Ken Takahashi is known at Riverside High School as the quiet genius. A computer-loving nerd who spends most of his time coding, studying, and optimizing his daily routine, Ken believes logic and hard work can solve almost anything. But when it comes to emotions—especially his long-time crush, Anna Kim—Ken feels completely lost. Anna is friendly, kind, and admired by almost everyone in school. For years, Ken has secretly liked her but never had the courage to say anything. When the new semester begins, Ken thinks this might finally be his chance. He and Anna are placed in the same computer science class and even become partners for an important semester project. At first, everything seems to be going perfectly for Ken. He gets to spend time with Anna, help her fix her laptop, and slowly talk to her more than ever before. However, there is one problem—Jonah Carter. Popular, athletic, and confident, Jonah also seems close to Anna. To Ken, Jonah feels like the kind of rival he can never compete with. But just as Ken is struggling with this rivalry, something unexpected happens. A new student transfers into the school. Alice Nakamura. Alice is brilliant—maybe even more brilliant than Ken. Calm, sharp-minded, and extremely competitive, she quickly becomes the top student in several classes. During their first academic challenge, Alice openly challenges Ken’s reputation as the “smartest student” in school. From that moment on, the two become intense academic rivals. Where Ken is methodical and analytical, Alice is creative and unpredictable. Their debates in class become legendary among students, and teachers often find themselves watching the two compete to solve the hardest problems. At first, Ken finds Alice frustrating. She questions his logic, challenges his answers, and refuses to accept his usual perfection. But slowly, he begins to notice something different about her. Alice doesn’t treat him like the awkward nerd most students see. Instead, she treats him like someone worth competing with—someone she respects. Meanwhile, Ken continues working on his project with Anna and still believes she is the girl he wants to be with. However, as time passes, he starts realizing something strange. Conversations with Anna are pleasant, but conversations with Alice are exciting. Anna makes him nervous, but Alice pushes him to grow. Late-night study sessions, academic competitions, coding challenges, and unexpected teamwork begin to change Ken’s perspective. He starts seeing Alice not just as a rival, but as someone who understands the way his mind works. For the first time in his life, Ken meets someone who can match him intellectually—and challenge him emotionally. Meanwhile, Jonah continues pursuing Anna, creating tension around Ken’s original crush. But the more time Ken spends with Alice, the more he begins to question whether Anna was truly the person he liked—or just the person he believed he should like.
