Welcome everyone.

I felt compelled to add some info on where I intend to take this novel. Half a dozen tags and a short word synopsis may not accurately capture what this book strives to represent.

Let me preface this by saying this book is somewhat loosely inspired from real life events =)

If you already intend to read the book in its entirety -- feel free to skip this.

Novel Structure:

I intend the novel to be short, so it will likely end under 150k words or just around 120 chapters.

(Free) Arc I & II will cover Murphy's start as a webnovelist, culminating in him signing a contract with a certain very popular website ;)

It depicts a society crumbling into a cyberpunk-ish dystopia. AI plays a pivotal role in undermining civilization, and Murphy is caught at the forefront of it all.

Arc III (Ch 21 onwards) is where the MC reincarnates. He unveils his inherent magical abilities and goes back in time along with his system.

Starting here, chapters will become premium.

Even if you don't intend to purchase it, the first 20 chapters will have a small concluding loop by themselves. A bit tragic to end it there, but a finality nonetheless :)

Superpowers

If you want to know what's in store for the main character without bothering to read the whole story, I can half-spoil you.

The powers are an original concept I dubbed The Numen Code. They are a set of riddles that lead the character to one of 7 'doors'. If he passes the resonance/trial, he inherits a specific psychic power.

These will range from telepathy, to psychokinesis/telekinesis, pyrokinesis, etc.

That said, the MC will not be an unstoppable Magneto tier character. His power will be heavily reliant on another factor, one I shan't spoil ;)

Smut/Romance

I'm not a very big fan of smut, but there will be a morsel of romance unveiled later on. I think it will be quite enjoyable, but it won't occupy the center stage. I may add a single NSFW chapter as fan service, but that's all.

Money

Economy will play a pivotal role in his restarted life. It won't be a grindy poor-to-rich novel, but I will strive to implement a satisfying ladder.

Legal Jargon

There are some contract excerbs from a certain fictive* company's contract. I interpreted them to the best of my knowledge as a layman, but may be incorrect or may have missunderstood some of the reaches of their draconin clauses. If so, excuse me.

*For legal reasons, everything is a parody guys. pls dont sue me!

Antagonists:

Revenge stories are popular, but I find them bland. His main beef will be with an international terrorist organization, and a big tech giant that owns QiE-Novel. There shall be no face slapping, only a life and death struggle.
