Holodeck Programs

What happens when a dantian becomes a nuclear reactor? When meridians behave like fiber-optic cables? When brains are restructured as supercomputers? When eyes are reconstructed as LIDAR? When neurons are structured as integrated circuits designs? When a cultivation manual is rewritten like a physics textbook? Simple. You get Elias Vance. A world-renowned physicist, inventor of interstellar communication, and proud owner of six Nobel Prizes (which he never bothered to unpack), Elias Vance had one problem: his brain was dying. His solution? Turn himself into data and transmit his consciousness into the great unknown. He expected the quantum realm. He got… a cultivation sect. Now stuck in a world where people punch mountains and drink spiritual chicken soup to get stronger, Elias does what he does best: overanalyze everything and break the system entirely. Armed with divine sense sharper than a microscope and an ego that runs on cold logic and dry sarcasm, he’s not just here to cultivate. He’s here to **optimize**. Forget pills and slow breathing. He’s got cellular Qi reactors, runic programming, soul-lattice engineering, and a vendetta against spiritual inefficiency. This is not your typical path to immortality. This is **The Quantum Path**.

Magic is the programming language of the world. But in a fantasy world, nobody has ever heard about programming. That is, nobody except Aurea. Formerly known as Aurora, she was reborn with all the knowledge she brought from Earth. She spent the 40 years of her previous life studying society, science, programming, hermetism, mythology, and alchemy. She died financially broke and emotionally broken, but all her accumulated knowledge and her nerdiness are about to pay off. She starts her life as the daughter of a slave, set against impossible odds from the beginning. But if incantations work as a programming language, then she knows exactly what to do to turn the tables. Words and syntax were the bread and butter of her former life, and material components look more like APIs and plugins. She didn’t meet a Goddess, wasn’t summoned like a hero, didn’t have a System giving her an ability. Instead, she was just dropped there to fend for herself. But with her knowledge, she doesn’t need a cheat skill. She is the cheat herself. Discord https://discord.gg/rrFNCtvCHZ ::: Update Schedule is according to my time, which means Brazil Time (GMT -03). I wouldn’t be able to keep track of all timezones and the ever-floating Summer Saving Times and stuff, so you can either calculate it to your timezone, or just get used, because it won’t be changing for some time (I hope never, actually). I’m keeping some stockpiled chapters and always getting the posts scheduled, and any unforeseen circumstances will be explained in time. Every day: 09 AM and 04 PM (BRT, which is GMT -03) ::: What NOT to expect in this novel: - Explicit sex content - Depiction of slavery in any “good side” or “positive light”. Slavery is Evil, period. - The MC to enter a straight relationship - Harem - NTR - Any form of race superiority or inferiority discourse - Sexism - Random banter about food or entire chapters dedicated to food (I mean, I love food as much as anyone else, I’m just too tired of every single isekai novel having entire chapters describing food) What TO expect in this novel: - A slowburn story - Brain beats brawn - Action scenes, though they aren’t the first focus - The MC may enter romantic relationships, but they take more of a backstage role - People trying to live healthy polyamorous relationships. They might succeed or fail, but the important thing is that this isn’t about one person taking center stage and everyone else worshipping them - Sex might be mentioned or implied, but never more than that - Sometimes the characters might use strong language - Sadism - No, really. Sadism. Aurea might be originally a 40-year-old from Earth, but a child's brain is a child's brain, and very susceptible to trauma. The roughness of the environment of her upbringing might warp her personality a bit. This isn’t to say that she will be down a villainess path. She will just have some pleasure in making evil people suffer. Think Yae Miko in her character demo, “Anecdote of a Divine Kitsune Guuji”, you can find it on YouTube. It’s that kind of “ludic sadism”. - I’m not really sure on the level of… description of those scenes, yet. I think that when I get close to that, I’ll put up a poll to see your thoughts on the matter. It will take some time to get there, though.

The universe is vast. Its Verses are endless. When the Ascension Program began, many worlds were pulled into it. Humanity was one of them. Every person was cast into a strange new land and stripped of comfort. Some fought. Some died. Others adapted. Separated from his family, Kai didn’t ask for much — just time. He believed that sooner or later, humans would come to dominate this world. So he became an alchemist. With a quiet room, a pile of herbs, and a couple of Gifts, Kai chose the slow path — brewing pills, learning, and surviving day by day… …until he could one day reunite with his family. Author's Note: The Alchemist is part of a series called Ascension Program, which follows multiple main characters across the same Verse. The first arc of Kai’s story is fully written and will be updated daily. Once it concludes, the second story — Absolute Control — will begin. Upload time is 4:00 PM UTC daily.

They branded us cursed. We became the weapon they feared.” Seven children survive a failed portal ritual that destroys their families. Branded CURSED and stripped of their identities, they’re thrust into a secret program—six emerge as heroes, one is left behind. When a cloaked figure shatters their world, only Zero’s hidden power and unwavering hope can decide whether they save—or doom—the world they never asked for. “Even if I’ve gone through a nightmare, I’ll always hope that they keep dreaming.” (Chapter 4) “Choose… one to dream, and the other to have a nightmare.” (Chapter 6)

The year is 2025. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in a revolutionary virtual reality experience at a high-tech company called Elysium. The program utilizes a unique VR pod to immerse users in a world based on a popular anime. As the other participants—a mix of personalities with varying degrees of anime knowledge—prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in anime. Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: pain is excruciatingly real, despite the creators' claims of a dampened pain response. He eventually finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and the world of ninjas becomes a nightmare where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real. Angered that he was deceived, he abandons all sense of logic and vows to become a villain no one would have ever anticipated.

He was the man she loved deeply, but he refused to marry her, leaving her heartbroken. Five years later, a cute child wearing a suit appeared on TV, saying, "Look, I'm imitating the world's richest man!" After watching the TV program, she was startled and immediately called her best friend, asking, "Where is my son?" Her friend replied, "He's asleep next to me." She looked at the little boy on TV and was lost in thought: The child's age, appearance, expression, and mannerisms are identical to her son's! How could there be two babies in the world who are identical to each other?

When love feels like magic… maybe it’s because it is. Elior is a soft-spoken young mage from a secluded forest village where emotions literally shape spells. He’s sent to the city’s Grand Academy of Magic as part of a rare exchange program. But while he can conjure flowers from snow and light from silence, he struggles with one thing: connecting with people. Enter Kael, a bright, sarcastic, and wildly popular top-ranking elemental mage who sees magic as nothing more than a weapon. When Elior’s shy spells misfire during training, Kael is assigned to tutor him. What begins as an awkward mentorship slowly turns into something beautiful: Kael finds himself enchanted by the warmth of Elior’s presence, while Elior begins to unravel the guarded pain Kael hides beneath his confident grin. Together, they begin to discover that magic fueled by love is the most powerful kind of all. But the kingdom is threatened by a mysterious “Emotion Plague” that turns feelings into curses—and only mages with bonded hearts can stop it. Can two boys who’ve never truly belonged find a home in each other’s arms—and heal a kingdom with the magic of love?

Elias Angeles was never a hero. Just a decent man — a first-generation college student from a working-class family, quietly navigating the noise of adulthood. He never stood out. Never made waves. He studied hard, stayed out of trouble, and hoped it would be enough. Until one ordinary day in class… something changed. Ding! [System Activated] Welcome, Elias Navarro.

In a world where American football has become the number one global sport even in countries like Japan, Brazil, Nigeria, and Jamaica one high school fights to reclaim its fallen legacy. T.B.C. Private High was once the pride of Jamaican football. A powerhouse that bred legends. A school that broke records and borders. But now? They can’t even win a district game.

Haruki Tenma is the kind of boy no one ever notices twice. Calm, quiet, and a little too good at staying invisible. His only real passion? Capturing fleeting moments through the lens of his camera. Miyako Hanabira is the girl everyone notices. Loud, stylish, unpredictable and way out of Haruki’s league. She’s the type who goes viral without trying and laughs in the face of rules. To her, Haruki was just a "safe friend" the background guy with a good heart and no game. Until one accidental photo submission... turns into a national contest win. And that photo? A cosplay shot of Miyako so perfect, so romantic, it gets them entered into a government-sponsored symbolic youth marriage program. Now they’re **secretly married**. Legally? Yes. Emotionally? Absolutely not. Romantically? …Well, that’s complicated. To avoid a scandal, the two agree to fake nothing, feel nothing, and just wait it out until graduation. But as they share mornings, dinners, house chores, festivals, and after-practice walks under cherry blossoms—something fragile and real starts to bloom between them. They’re not dating. They’re just married. So why does it feel like love?

My name is Aikio. Once broken. Now unstoppable. The system gave me dominion—over time, space, and reality itself. It made me a phantom judge. I enter their bodies, tear through their memories, and give one final warning: Repent. You have 24 hours. They never do. So I execute. And I savor every second of it. But power always has a price. The system erased my past. Stole my life. Hollowed me out and forged a weapon in my place. Now, I’m coming for it. For the architects who thought I’d never bite the hand that programmed me. This time, the judgment is mine. Let the reckoning begin. The reckoning has begun. And there’s no turning back. Are you ready to stand before judgment? Add to your collection and join me on my journey of judgement.

"I lost my mother because of my devoted boyfriend of 6 years." She has been supporting her boyfriend Sung-joon, who is an aspiring actor and is just hanging around for 6 years. However, as time goes by, he changes from being kind and affectionate. Then, due to Sung-joon's complacency, Hae-young's mother gets into a serious accident. Hae-young goes to Sung-joon, who was flirting with his best friend Min-ji at the time, and confronts him. "Did I know your mother would do that? If you care so much, you should take care of your mother. Why is it my fault?" Instead of feeling sorry, Sung-joon breaks up with her. After the breakup, Sung-joon and Min-ji appear on the dating program as if they had been waiting for it. They become the center of attention on the show by talking about Hae-young, and eventually become very popular. Hae-young, who was frustrated after losing 6 years, her mother, and her love, accidentally goes back to the moment right before her mother got into an accident. "Mom, don't come! Stay still!" She takes this opportunity to save her mother and vows revenge on Sung-joon and Min-ji. Hae-young plans to secretly appear on the same program as them and get all the attention they both enjoyed. The problem is finding a male friend who fits the program's concept of "appearing with a friend." A very handsome and well-made male friend. At that time, the man she had coincidentally encountered on the day she prevented her mother's accident loomed over her. Yoon-hyuk unexpectedly accepted the ridiculous offer she made, thinking, "No way." "Isn't there anyone around you as handsome as me?" "No. Are you having trouble being objective? Looks like your's are rare." "Well, there might be. Maybe a friend you met when you were young, or someone who saved your life. Try to remember." Hae-young didn't realize it at the time. He was hinting that he had known Hae-young for a long time. The man who Hae-young had given all of her savings as a condition for his appearance was actually the fourth generation of a conglomerate. That's how Haeyoung and Yoonhyuk, Sungjun and Minji meet in "Friendship Romance" __________✧⁠⑅⁠˖⁠♡｡ﾟ∘⁠˚⁠˳⁠°↝⁠^⁠.⁠_⁠.⁠^___________________ My other works: "I became the Beast Duke's wife" on transcendentaltls .com (ongoing) ~ "Cat Kiss" on novelishuniversetransaltions .com (new)

But sometimes fate rewires the brain—and the heart.

Kenji Tanaka was just another burnt-out programmer in Tokyo until a fatal system error plunged him into a nightmare... or a new reality. Transported to Aethelgard, a world of vibrant magic and untold dangers, Kenji discovers his logical mind and programming skills manifest in an impossible way: he can see and "code" the very fabric of reality through a mysterious "System Architect Interface." With the small, spirited sylph Lyra as his guide, Kenji must learn to master his unique powers – from manipulating objects with mental "scripts" to creating Aether constructs – just to survive. But Aethelgard is being consumed by a dark plague known as the Blight, corrupting the land and its creatures into ravenous monsters. After witnessing the Blight's brutality at Greystone Crossing and finding a fragile refuge in the mountain village of Havenwood, Kenji realizes his arrival might not have been a mere accident. As tremors of war shake his new home and subterranean creatures threaten to annihilate everything, the programmer-turned-reality-architect must use every line of his "code" to protect the innocent and unravel the secrets behind his transmigration and the Blight's origin. Can a programmer from another world debug a reality on the brink of collapse, or will he be just another variable in an algorithm of destruction? Dive into "Chronicles of the Aether Architect" and find out if logic can triumph over dark magic.

"I will be ok papa," Shai said "I just want to make sure you're safe," Leif said "I will be fine I love you," Shai said "Love you too," Leif said Sadly It didn't turn out so, Shai Aqua went to work followed by a mysterious figure watching her before disappearing, she came back home to find it destroyed with a shining blue portal in the middle of her room.

Eurus yelled before following her, Judy puts her head on the woman's chest to hear her heartbeat, "She's alive," Judy said under her breath, Eurus stands next to her, pulls Judy off the woman, Shai was found by Judy and Eurus and brought to their home to be sheltered.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WSAC 2025 ENTRY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Alternative Title(s): D-Drive Game Trial!, Becoming Mid, Becoming Night, Becoming Midnight, BM(N) DISCLAIMER: Becoming Mid is about survival, mind-games, betrayal, violence, lust, and terrible choices people make when nothing left: The worst side of people when winning means everything. Therefore, this is not a story for the lighthearted individuals. Every time midnight passes, the name 4URmn_x or Midnight always haunts the Japanese gaming world. Known as the number one gamer, their skill across various genres – MMORPGs, gacha, and even platformers – has made them a mysterious and feared figure. No one knows their real identity. They always use the same username, avatar, and bio: "My name is Midnight. And this account is served for your midnight's nightmare with me as an x." For years, Midnight has only ever lost once in each game, sparking various theories. Some say they did it on purpose, others believe their opponent was just lucky, and there are even rumors about a self-made intelligent automation program. Each of their victories always ends with the legendary message: "Too easy. Victory is mine." However, everything changes when they are challenged to enter a mysterious survival game after getting humiliated by their rival, where every weekend, players must kill or manipulate each other to survive. Midnight arrives empty-handed, underestimated, and given the title "Mid Gamer" due to their weak physique and meager equipment. But with their intelligence and survival instincts, Midnight is determined to prove that victory is not always determined by weapons or status, but rather by brains, courage, and precise timing. Can Midnight change the game and carve their name into this survival world?

Aetherreach What if the game you created… became your kingdom? Caelan Ward, genius developer and visionary behind the world’s most advanced VR fantasy game, Aetherreach, was ready to unveil its final evolution: a full-dive simulation that would blur the line between reality and code. But when he and his closest companions initiate the dive, something goes wrong—or perhaps too right. They don’t wake up in the game they designed. They awaken in a world that feels too real, where magic flows like data and the kingdoms they once crafted now breathe, bleed, and break. Caelan is no longer a developer. He is the High Magus of Hollowreach, a remote, frostbound kingdom teetering on the edge of ruin. Around him, his co-founders—military tactician Darius, merchant king Soren, elusive spymaster Ezra, and the prophetic Naomi—have become rulers, warlords, and legends. But influence doesn’t mean control. Each of their domains is fractured by betrayal, rebellion, and ancient forces none of them programmed. To survive, they must reunite. To rule, they must remember who they are. To rebuild, they must forge a kingdom out of chaos—not just in this world, but between both. But as Caelan digs deeper into the magic beneath Hollowreach, he uncovers a terrifying truth: the realm itself may be alive—and it remembers them.

Other name: Returnee Swordsman in the Apocalypse ––STONE GOALS–– 50 Golden Tickets = One extra chapter 100 power stones = One Extra Chapter 100 Golden Tickets = Two Extra Chapters 200 power stones = Two Extra Chapters ––STONE GOALS–– NOTE, 50 Golden tickets are also equivalent to 100 powerstones. but if there's 50 tickets, and 100 powerstones at the same time, then there'll be two extra chapters regardless to keep up with the goal. So for every 50 tickets or 100 powerstones, there'll be one extra chapter. For now. this may be revised later in the future as things progress.
