Rational Stories

🏆 Official Award Winner of a Japanese Web Novel Contest! Translated directly from the original Japanese Web Novel, which was handpicked for the Select Award (Top Honor) in Kakuyomu's Official Contest, hosted by KADOKAWA in Japan! 📚 Official Award Announcement (Japanese Original) https://kakuyomu.jp/contests/kakuyomu_10theme#theme06 --- "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.

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?

Popped Seams in between Summer and Spring

What if you got the chance to be reborn-as a canonical, but rather useless, character from Class 1-B at U.A. in "My Hero Academia" world? What if this character, with the right approach, could reach the level of All Might? What if you could save your class? This country? The world? What if you had to sacrifice everything for that, starting with yourself? Would you try? Well, this story is about me-and I will. ✔ Own plot growing on the ruins of the canon - YES. ✖️ Do you need to know the original to read? - No. ✔ Humor, daily life, action - YES. ✖️ Overpowered MC loaded with plot devices from the start - No. ✔ Logical progression from weakling to monster - YES. ✖️ Canon bashing, everyone is dumb, and I'm the only smart one - No. ✔ Respectful treatment of the source material - YES. ✔ World-building, explanations of phenomena and idioms (so-called "filler") - oh YES! ✔ Romance - YES. ✖️ And no, there won't be a harem or explicit content. 0. Early Access: ▶ https://www.patreon.com/XAN3ON ◀ - there you'll find 7 or more additional chapters, download option and something else. 1. Volume 1 = buildup. If you think the protagonist knows best - you only think so. 2. No need to be familiar with the original story; I try to explain all the important points. The canon (of the series) is as unshakable as a rock, with adjustments for the actions of the main character... or rather, that's what Niren thinks. I didn't specify exactly which main character :) 3. The protagonist himself has only seen the first 5 seasons of the anime, hasn't read the manga, isn't familiar with the spinoff, and hasn't even heard of the movies. 4. There's a lot of reflection, world explanations, various plans, and elaborate strategies. 5. I weave cool elements from Japanese culture into the narrative. 6. I made the cover myself. 7. And finally: comments motivate me.

summoning the winged moody demons

This essay critiques John Rawls' "A Theory of Justice," focusing on its practical applicability, assumption of rational agents, the veil of ignorance, the difference principle, and cultural bias.
