Cyberpunk: Special Incident Chronicles

Ethan Lin was once just an ordinary ancient texts restorer—a part-time livestreamer repairing priceless artifacts. One day, while restoring a Sanxingdui bronze mask, he accidentally triggered a mysterious paranormal phenomenon that caused a catastrophic livestream accident and shocked the entire internet. Initially, he assumed it was merely a livestream mishap. However, the incident caught the attention of the National Special Cultural Relics Bureau, and before he knew it, Ethan was forcibly recruited as an external investigator tasked with handling those “supernatural” yet top-secret artifact cases. Thrown into a whirlwind of bizarre and surreal investigations—from the hidden underground tombs beneath the Forbidden City to a haunted milk tea shop tucked away in the heart of a modern metropolis, and even extending to the international supernatural black market—Ethan soon realized that the rules governing this world were far more complex than he had ever imagined. At the same time, a shadowy organization known as the “Nine Nether Group” was secretly advancing a shocking plan. They sought to harness cutting-edge technology combined with ancient yin-yang secrets to create an “Artificial Ghost King”—a being that would shatter the boundary between life and death, redefining the very relationship between humans and souls. As Ethan delved deeper into his investigations, he gradually uncovered a startling truth: the origins of these paranormal events were inexplicably tied to his own family. His grandfather, it seemed, had once been a key figure in the Spirit Suppression Project—a covert operation whose true purpose was to maintain the balance of the world. Now, as the Nine Nether Group schemes to open the “Ghost Gate” and merge the realm of the living with the netherworld, Ethan faces an impossible choice. Should he honor the legacy left by his ancestors and assume the mantle of the new Spirit Suppressor by sealing the Ghost Gate, or should he shatter the constraints of the old world and usher in a new era where life and death coexist? In a time when technology clashes with the supernatural and the natural order of yin and yang is on the brink of collapse, Ethan Lin must decide where his true destiny lies.

Plot Armor and Paper Cuts

Haruto Sato is a lonely Tokyo writer who died surrounded by 350 half-finished books (yikes). A sassy goddess who looks like his old characters gives him a harsh deal: *Finish all your abandoned stories, or get erased forever—even that cringe fanfic you hid in 1998.* Reborn as random side characters in his own messy worlds, Haruto’s stuck with a buggy “game system” that roasts him nonstop. Skills include *surviving deadly hits 10% of the time* and *making enemies pause to hear his bad jokes*. His first mission? Fix *Sky Samurai*, his edgy samurai-vs-dragons story, except he’s now the hero’s brother… who’s supposed to die in chapter two. Oops. Between fighting dragons with a butter knife (don’t ask) and hacking robots in his half-written cyberpunk mess, Haruto sneaks back to Earth to eat ramen and awkwardly befriend Aiko, his neighbor who thinks he’s just a weird guy with “vitamin issues.” Over time, he learns to write better characters (no more naming elves *Glitterbutt*), makes a grandma librarian cry happy tears, and realizes stories aren’t about perfect endings—they’re about fixing your mistakes. The goddess? She’s just a tired book nerd who wanted him to stop being a hermit. In the end, Haruto opens a café, finishes ALL his books, and maybe (finally) asks Aiko out. But when a kid hands him a new story to read, he grins: *“Let’s see what you’ve got.”* **Basically:** A funny, heartfelt story about a guy who sucks at finishing things… until he gets a second chance to fix his life *and* his terrible drafts.

Time Loop Bank

Book Summary: Time Loop Bank In a world where time is the ultimate currency, the Time Loop Bank controls the most powerful resource known to humanity—the ability to borrow, trade, and manipulate time itself. Those who are wealthy extend their lives indefinitely, while the desperate gamble their futures for a fleeting second chance. Ethan Carter, once known as Caleb in the underworld, wakes up in a hidden facility after a near-fatal betrayal. His former identity, erased. His past, buried. But the one thing he cannot escape is the debt that binds him to the system. He once thought he was playing the game, but now he realizes he was just another piece on the board. As Ethan unravels the truth behind the Time Loop Bank, he discovers a conspiracy that stretches far beyond crime syndicates and corrupt officials. The elite aren’t just buying time—they’re rewriting history, shaping reality itself. And at the center of it all is a hidden force manipulating the flow of time for its own agenda. Armed with stolen data and pursued by those who would rather see him dead than let the truth out, Ethan must navigate a world where every second counts. He is no longer just a survivor—he is the only person who can break the cycle.

between the eternity and the rift

The end of the world hides forgotten memories.Death does not mean the end, those unfulfilled obsessions and undissolved emotions will remain in reality in the form of ‘cast-offs’. The ‘recyclers’ are the executors responsible for cleaning up these residual memories. They walk between reality and nothingness, reclaiming the traces of the past and keeping the world in order. Tokiyu travels through the neon rainstorm of Cyber City, carrying out cold recycling tasks: deleting dead AI wife who lost control of her life due to obsession, disintegrating the ghost underground that devours her memories, and putting an end to the gentle curse that imprisons her dead souls with friendship. ...... But she gradually discovers that she can easily do things that are beyond the reach of other recyclers: Molts bow down to her, the memories of the dead flow like poetry in her eyes, and the detector's assessment of her always shows ‘ERROR’. ‘Are you sure you want to reveal the answer?’ The mechanical cherry blossoms in the abandoned lab, the blood-coloured countdown on the coffee machine, the overlapping figures reflected in the underground glass ...... Each case whispers the thinly veiled truth: With every recovery she performs, she's pushing herself over the precipice of existence. Humans use technology to alter the scale of life and death, and the definition of ‘alive’ is rewritten in code! ◆ Cyberpunk aesthetics x Bengali suspense structure x Philosophical discursive core ◆ A hardcore romance between data graveyard and human nature. ◆ In the doomsday scenario of memory entropy increase, asking what it means to be a human being. ‘The meaning of existence lies in choosing how to disappear.’
