Rational Stories

"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. While the English release is currently several dozen chapters behind the Japanese original, new episodes will be published here sequentially as the translation is finalized. Updates will be frequent as I work to catch up with the latest Japanese release!

He was selected for Neurovia because of how his brain works. He's starting to wonder if that's a good thing. When Julian Reyes gets selected in the Neurovia Institute, an elite program offering direct neural integration through an experimental implant called Catalyst, he knows his family can't afford to turn it down. What he doesn't know is what Neurovia is actually selecting for. Or what already integrated students are becoming. Catalyst doesn't give you new abilities. It amplifies what's already inside you. For Julian, that means pattern recognition so fast it feels like instinct. For Mateo, probabilistic thinking that starts to feel less like insight and more like fate. For Aisha, the ability to read people so precisely that awareness and manipulation stop being different things. They arrived as strangers. They're becoming something harder to name. But they're not the only ones in the building. And the people who got there first have had time to decide what to do with what they've been given. What do you become when the gap between who you are and who you could be suddenly disappears?

Follow his adventures as he tries to make the best of his situation, while stuck between forces that push and pull him around. Will his adaptability save him from yet another certain death? No. But maybe, just maybe, he'll find his way back home. **** This is an Isekai (another world) resurrection LitRPG (video game system.) No harem, wish fulfilment, mary sue, or white knights within. A more 'realistic' fiction - there are setbacks and gains, wins and losses. Mistakes are made.

My poem is about the difference between loving and hating people the only thing you have to understand is in the mix you can't always be mad with the other person you can't always be mad with yourself but you can't rely on everyone else either

There are multiple ways to handle a tough situation. But not all are as effective as we want them to be.

Akko is your average person, sometimes below-average, sometimes above-average. An independent man entering college, he resides in the Ruruteru Ward within a country miles away from his hometown. He lives a new independent life as minimal as it gets with society as his worst archnemesis, it feels like it'll lower his humanity, feeling like solidarity of being a man on an island is what all he needs in life. That was about to change in his sophomore year when one day Ala-chan, his friend, invited him to a hangout with her circle of friends. When he felt that everything was a tipping point to where everything was too good to be true, he blindly sparked a relationship with someone, but everything went blind from there. As doubts rushed through his overthinking about being with her and deserving all of this societal goodness, it became a monumental heap for him and his significant other. What turned out to be a utopian milestone for him turned into a war of love, a war of assurance, and a war of silence. With a society so unfair and muted, will Akko's view on society remain as weathered as it has always been, or will society or even his few acquaintances be on his side?
