The Magic System Is Bugged, So I Rewrote It

In a world where magic is regulated, taxed, licensed, and audited, heroism is just another department. Kael Ryn is a Grade-E Civil Mage employed by the Ministry of Ritual Oversight—an underfunded government bureau responsible for “minor magical disturbances.” While S-rank heroes battle dragons beyond city walls, Kael handles the real problems of everyday life: enchanted mailboxes demanding rent, potions that develop side effects after gaining self-awareness, illegally summoned familiars clogging public transit, and cursed furniture that won’t stop whispering at 3 a.m. In a society governed by an ancient magical administrative entity known only as The Ledger, every spell cast is recorded, every citizen ranked, and every miracle accounted for. The Ledger assigns power, permissions, social class, and magical authority. No one questions it. Until it begins to glitch. At first, the errors are small—misfiled spell logs, minor enchantments behaving unpredictably, everyday objects bending rules they shouldn’t know exist. But Kael discovers something no one else can see: a hidden layer beneath reality displaying arcane error codes and administrative fractures. When he resolves anomalies manually—without logging them through official channels—Kael unintentionally accumulates “Unauthorized Authority.” Each quiet fix gives him the ability to override micro-laws of magic itself. Rewrite spell boundaries. Patch corrupted enchantments. Adjust permissions. The more he fixes, the more reality listens to him. But The Ledger is still watching. As bureaucratic departments clash, heroes hide inconsistencies in their battle records, and entire districts begin overlapping with discarded divine subroutines, Kael realizes the system governing their world isn’t failing by accident. Someone is testing its limits. And Kael—the lowest-ranked civil servant in the city—may be the only one capable of rewriting the rules before daily life collapses into administrative catastrophe. In a world obsessed with epic destinies, Kael Ryn just wants to finish his paperwork. But the system has other plans.

Finding Him (BxB+)

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

A Knight’s Journey: The rise of a Modern World's cultivator

Full title: [The Knight’s Multiverse] - A Knight’s Journey: The journey of a cultivator in a superhuman’s modern world Author: This story has romance and cultivation elements, though the most important part of it is its characters. I strive to portray their doubts, worries and disappointments, along with their hopes, happiness and pride, as well as I can. Characters will learn, grow and bravely transcend their fears, all in the hope of being able to live freely alongside their loved ones. This is what I enjoy writing and I hope you will also enjoy reading it.    Synopsis: What happens after you die? This was a question that baffled many, with two mainstream thoughts battling each other: Religion with its Manichean division of Heaven and Hell and Science with its nihilistic approach of returning to the Universe as cosmic dust. Turned out Damian Knight, now Demian Mikhailov, discovered that none of those theories were actually true when his previous life’s memories awakened after being knocked out by a gangster’s heavy punch to the head. Now 18 years old with a deficient body, he will have to find a way to navigate this World’s deep waters, where Fighters with transcendent Physical Attributes were merely at the bottom of the power scale. From Intrinsic Superhumans to Elemental Cultivators, a single misstep and death could snatch him again, with everything he built in this new life disappearing as if a mere illusion. Fortunately, his Reincarnation came with three incredible gifts: an Equalized Adaptive Physiology Perk, a Soul Bond Perk, and a Soul Shield Perk. Armed with those three Perks, the young man will grow his personal strength to protect not only himself but also his Aunt, Adeliya, and his two older cousins, Brynhild and Seraphine from this World’s hidden forces, and with some luck it may even help him deal with those new and growing feelings birthed from the collision of his two lives. ‘Choices have consequences’. A story of tangled Reincarnations, Forbidden Love, and Cultivation to Immortality.

How Did I Become an F1 Driver?

How did I become an F1 driver? Qin Miao discovered that he had the talent to become a top e-sports driver. Just during the college entrance examination period, he played with the simulator in his spare time and was surprised to find that he had the ability to compete with other professional e-sports drivers. You should know that he just played casually and had this ability. If he settled down to practice, Qin Miao would definitely have a bright future on the road of e-sports drivers. Qin Miao was ready to take the path of an e-sports driver if he failed the college entrance examination. But on a very ordinary day, Qin Miao gained a system. However, Qin Miao was still sensible. Even if he got the system, it was unlikely for him to become a formal F1 driver. Because when he got the system, he was already 19 years old and hadn't been exposed to anything related to racing before the age of 19. Two years later: Xiaozhou: There is no doubt that Qin Miao is a very talented driver, but I feel that racing is just a profession for him, his real hobby is live streaming and playing games. Lock: Qin? Just a second-generation Kimi. But then again, he plays CSGO really well, it was he who boosted my Earth. Old Man: Qin is a pure person, his life is only about racing... and video games. Dutch White-eyed Wolf: I have nothing to say about him. Bi Hai: If he spent half the time he uses to play games on the simulator, his achievements now would be far beyond this! Horner: I really appreciate Qin, he is a natural-born F1 driver and also a pure person, I very much hope he can join Red Bull and become one of us.
