Clever 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. --- **Note from the Author:** This is the official English version of an original Japanese web novel, currently on going in Japan. New episodes will be published here sequentially as the translation is finalized.

Hello! Did you miss me, readers? Because I did. I missed writing, I missed describing my thoughts, and delivering every detail of my imagination to you. As you know, I am a dreamer, so I always dream of new stories, new experiences, and what would happen if I had the ability to control the story. I can add some fantasy and flavor to the plot and the events. Can I change the past and make the future according to my own prescription? Should the end be sad, open, or happy, and much more? All of this can only be found in my lines over a story of a lady in Algerian society.

~ Meet Wynn and Mei ~ Talented in facades, in deception. They were both comfortable in building different masks for themselves. Wynn: a boy who was talented in fooling the eye. Through illusions, he knew how to trick the human eye in its visuals and colors. Mei: a girl who was talented in fooling the body, and could listen to the ways of the body. The heartbeats, the breaths, and the sensation, she could feel it all. Despite their abilities, both had left the world of magic, left to escape. Running for different reasons, now they both live in New York City, and try to forget about their pasts. Hidden in plain sight, they adjusted to the normalcy of a mortal world, and became versed in alternate methods of survival - cheap, underhanded methods unknown to humans' noses. So perhaps by chance, or maybe by magic, they happen to meet. They meet, where both of them have constructed masks for themselves as they live in their city. In a world where both are trying to hide from a threat of magic, and where they are both versed in the language of deception, can they each find the face beneath?
