Clever Stories

"He fell from a burning plane into a world that eats the unprepared for breakfast. Whatever crawled out of the wreckage wasn't quite him anymore." "Seventy percent odds of death. A sister held hostage. And a power he doesn't understand-that even he is afraid to use." Vaniel was just a guy on a plane with his fifteen-year-old sister, headed home to a life of retirement, bad coffee, and bar fights. Then the sky ripped open. Purple fire unmade the engines. A storm of luminous something-not light, not smoke, not quite real-poured through the tear in reality. It burrowed into his chest while the world screamed around him. When he woke up after awakening, bandaged and barely breathing, something had changed. Not his face. Not his name. Something underneath. He sees things now. Threads in the air. Seams in the shape of the world. And when he concentrates-when he pushes past the splitting headache and the taste of copper-he can pull. Colors that don't exist. Shapes that shouldn't hold. Reflections that stare back when no one's there. The woman in white calls him a Seer. She says his power is weak. Belief-steering. Party tricks. But her eyes watch him like he's a bomb. They've given him a choice: become their suicide soldier, or watch his sister die. The odds are seventy percent against him. But the power was still inside him. Quiet. Waiting. And sometimes, when he dreams, a magician in a top hat smiles and whispers: "You were the one I was waiting for."

"This world is a legacy system running on an unpatched OS. I'm just here to install the stability updates." When Kazuya, a former systems engineer and corporate slave, was summoned to another world along with his entire house, he didn't ask for a legendary sword. He asked for Fiber-Optic Internet. Armed with the collective wisdom of the entire world via the Internet, there is now virtually nothing he doesn't know. He has zero interest in "grand adventures." He'd rather stay inside his magically-transported home, drink ice-cold cola, and solve the Kingdom's greatest crises via remote work. By treating every disaster-from collapsing infrastructure to "ancient curses"-as a series of logical bugs, he optimizes a world that relies far too much on fickle magic using modern systems thinking. While he "works" from the comfort of his sofa, his black cat Tama-who is secretly the Legendary Savior, Tarmane-is busy "deleting" any hardware threats (monsters) that dare disturb her owner's Wi-Fi signal. The people call him a "Transcendent Sage." The Knights call his instructions "Divine Logic." In reality, he's just a lazy optimizer who knows that in any world, information is the ultimate weapon. An intellectual Isekai comedy where the greatest miracles aren't performed with wands, but with a perfectly executed patch. --- **Note from the Author:** This is the official English version of an original Japanese web novel, currently on going in Japan.

Two People. Two Heroes. Two Villains. One sequence of events. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every single story that has ever been told has held two basic components. Every single story, without fail, always has a protagonist and an antagonist. There is our righteous hero, the one for whom the story was made. The one whom the world revolves around, or the one who revolves the world to his liking. The one who is right, or has the less distasteful option. Then there is our villain. The one working against our light on the hill. They may have a good motivation, and there is always the possibility they make a convincing argument. The best villains in stories are the ones we can understand, but we rarely waver from our faith in the hero of the story. They face adversity, they are confronted by doubt, they feel the cold jaws of uncertainty closing around them but they always escape. They are, after all, the hero. However, in life it is not so clear cut. We are all the protagonists of our own stories and whoever stands in the way of our dreams and ideals, regardless of what they are, are the antagonists. Our stories encompass our minds and thoughts, leaving no space for the story of someone else. But other stories exist. Other stories that are just as important to the people living through them as our stories are to us. Aldred and Galen are two opposing forces, each the hero in his own story and the villain in the others. When the old king of the kingdom of Venturia tragically passes away, the new king doesn't want their hatred in his kingdom and is forced to ask each one for their story in an attempt to decide which should be dismissed from his lofty post.
