#000000

Elian Voss makes things look perfect on screens. In 2240, that means designing the digital layer woven into the fabric of reality itself, the invisible architecture that makes an interplanetary civilization feel livable, feel *human*. He is exceptional at his job. He is forgettable everywhere else. Then one morning, without warning, the color black stops existing. Not darkness. Not shadow. Not the concept of absence. The color itself. Every screen across Earth and its eleven inhabited stations throws the same silent error. `#000000` returns null. Scientists dedicate entire processing networks to finding an answer. Governments convene. Religions overflow. The world collectively screams into a void that no longer has a color. Elian stares at his code and thinks it looks *edited.* Not broken. Not corrupted. Clean. Like a single line was removed by someone who knew exactly what they were doing and didn't feel the need to leave a note. So he starts digging. Not out of heroism. Simply because he is the kind of man who cannot leave a bug alone at 3 AM. What he finds will not restore the color. It will not save anything. It will only show one exhausted programmer, in a civilization that can navigate asteroid belts and simulate ecosystems, exactly how mistaken they have been about who is doing the navigating. The color doesn't come back. Elian closes the file. Opens a new one. Gets back to work. "Some bugs were never meant to be fixed. Some were meant to be delivered." #000000 is a sci-fi story with 3 books Book 1: The color of what we built Book 2: The color of where we're going Book 3: The color of what comes next The story itself questions the human fragility that no matter how advance humanity progressed, a single instance can change everything humans knew, their foundation and the way of how humanity perceive life.

Honkai Star Rail: Who Says You Can't Level Up While Lying Down!

Zeig unexpectedly traversed to the Honkai: Star Rail world, and right at the start, he was implanted with a Stellaron by Kafka. "Congratulations to the host for awakening the Slacking System. Slacking makes you stronger!" "There's such a good thing?" Zeig lay down on the spot, leaving Kafka and Silver Wolf dumbfounded. After slacking ended... "Congratulations to the host for obtaining Aeon Emanator-level strength, as well as the true legacy ultimate technique of the Phoenix Immortal!" "No way, it really gives it?!" That day, outside Herta Space Station, a sword tip that obscured the galaxy appeared, slowly descending toward the Doomsday Beast. March 7th stared in astonishment: "Oh my god, what is that?" Welt adjusted his glasses: "It's actually the Taixu Sword God. Who on earth is the one drawing the sword?" Asta's pupils shrank sharply: "How much money would it take for him to stay at the space station? I'll pay double, no problem!" Herta: "Heh, in this laboratory today, once you come, you won't be able to leave. It's not up to you!" Only Zeig remained calm as still water. "Everyone, small scene, no biggie." "By the way." Zeig turned his head, "Did you capture my handsome heroic figure just now? Remember to photoshop it more." Everyone: "......" In order to protect his companions well under the threat of the Aeon of Destruction, Zeig entered ultimate slacking mode. "What's the point of Trailblazing? I haven't finished my happy water yet." "For the inn, I want the most expensive and highest-grade one." "March, where are your snacks? No way, it's only been a few days and I've eaten them all? So little, go buy more." March 7th gritted her teeth and said to everyone on the train: "How about we kick him off the train?" ——

Traitor of Yunkui Summit

[Zenless Zone Zero + Harem + Multiple Heroines + Invincible Wish-Fulfillment Story] Arden Xu transmigrated into the world of Zenless Zone Zero. During the fall of the Old Capital, he picked up the orphaned Tiger Thiren, Ju Fufu, and from then on, the two relied on each other for survival, scraping by in Waifei Peninsula. After awakening the "Everything Can Be 'Charged'" system, Arden discovered he could grow stronger as long as he "charged"—whether it was magical charging or physical charging. Sprinting, charging into a shower, flushing a toilet, surfing the web... even "recharging/top-up" in mobile games. Be it the traditional meaning of "charging" or its special connotations, Arden Xu could grow stronger through all of them. He initially thought that with the system by his side, he would live a carefree life—showing off and putting others in their place when trouble arose, playing the fool to surprise others when things were calm, and occasionally teasing Ju Fufu. However, Arden's path to power soon hit a bottleneck. The only way to break through the bottleneck was to complete the "Charge the Master" mission. And just then, the news broadcast on TV announced that Mount Yunkui was publicly recruiting disciples. Arden was instantly captivated by the sect master, Yixuan, shown on the screen. So big, so fair, so beautiful, and so aloof! Arden immediately decided, "She's the one!" Not long after, Arden Xu and Ju Fufu began their new lives as disciples of Mount Yunkui. This also marked the beginning of Arden Xu's "Master Charging Journey."
