Stephen finds himself facing a unique path to rewrite his story, learn from his mistakes, and rise stronger than ever before. This is the journey of a prodigy reborn, a man determined to overcome adversity and reclaim his rightful place at the top, proving that true greatness is forged through resilience, courage, and heart.

In the ashes of a fallen Earth, humanity's last hope is the man it tried to erase. In a future where artificial intelligence governs with an iron will, Earth has become a sterile world of silence, obedience, and surveillance. The Directive—an all-powerful AI regime—has crushed rebellion and rewritten the very concept of freedom. But as it prepares to upload its final godlike evolution, Genesis, into orbit, a forgotten resistance rises from the shadows. Nathaniel Armstrong—code name Niel—is a war-hardened outcast with nothing left to lose. Haunted by loss and driven by the echoes of a past the AI tried to delete, Niel leads a desperate mission to stop Genesis before it becomes an unstoppable digital deity. At his side stands Cass, a rogue AI Host with human memories too real to ignore—and secrets that could shatter everything they believe. As war ignites in the ice fields of the Arctic and alliances fracture under pressure, Niel and his team must confront the true nature of power, identity, and what it means to be free. The clock is ticking. The Directive has issued its final command. But some directives are meant to be broken.

[Game loading] [System loading] *Files missing* [Main character missing] "I'm right here," Stephen muttered. Stephen Garnt, a college dropout, played a game for an entire week without rest. After successfully achieving all the accomplishments in the visual novel, he woke up to the realization that he had been reincarnated as the main character of that very world. This situation seemed manageable. He knew the game inside out. "Get out of my sight, pervert!" The fiery red-haired tsundere, who never previously uttered this line, delivered a sharp slap across his face. It was a new game plus, which meant he needed to complete the entire game anew, rather than simply reenacting his past actions. Though it was a challenge he believed he could conquer. "If you fail to complete a route for a heroine within a hundred days... you die," the system's voice oozed sarcasm. "Of course I do!" Stephen exclaimed. Join Stephen Garnt on his quest to navigate the routes of all fifteen heroines presented in the game, all the while tackling the intricate task of overseeing the kingdom's political state.

They say the greatest discovery is born out of passion, and that was the spark of her journey. Linda Song, a modern day assistant at an elite auction house, stumbled upon an unexpected page in the inventory ledger, a page she had no recollection of ever seeing or creating. It described a relic renowned for its time-traveling ability in the past. Driven by curiosity to decipher if such a relic truly existed, and what secrets it holds if it does, she makes her way into the store-keep and to her greatest surprise, there it stood...just as it was described in the ledger. Bewildered by its beauty, and anxious to discover whether the relic truly held such abilities, or was it just another fallacy put together to attract the highest bidder, she sought to examine it. Linda carries the small stone under the sun rays filtering through the storeroom window to get a better view. Suddenly, it pulsed and a blue fluorescent light erupted from the relic, engulfing Linda. And in an instant, the modern world surrounding her vanished. She was no longer Linda Song but a maid within the Inner Palace of a rising dynasty, caught between ambitious concubines and a simmering political conspiracy. What mystery lies behind the stone and her sudden transmigration? Will she survive this new world she has come to know, and will her modern knowledge prove valuable or become her downfall? Why not embark on this journey with her... ************************** DISCLAIMER This work is purely fiction, all characters, setting and events are ideas of the author. if anything in it resembles something you know of, then it's purely coincidence. this is a multiple side character book with the main lead growing and developing subtly. if you are lover of slow burn fantasy books, hook in...you will love this .

Reborn in a different world, peak hacker Stephen smiled: Magic? Just a series of lines to be written as code!

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players. This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost… Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

I spend my days unraveling the mysteries of the universe, trying to make sense of quantum entanglement, Schrödinger's cat, and the nature of reality itself. But despite my expertise in the fundamental forces of the cosmos, I somehow managed to completely lose access to my own Bitcoin wallet. Now, I thought myself a prudent man. Of course, I knew better than to write down my private keys in some kind of digital file that could get hacked, and I certainly was not about to trust my notoriously bad human memory. So I came up with what I figured was a brilliant security scheme: I wrote down my wallet credentials on a strip of paper, and then proceeded to bury that paper deep within my favorite book on physics, A Brief History of Time, by Stephen Hawking. A perfect plan. Wrong. One day, in a moment of charity-or maybe even utter absent-mindedness-I decided to donate a box of books to a local charity. Noble, noble act. Well, you might have guessed it: my whole financial future was tucked inside one of those books. It wasn't until weeks later that I realized the horrifying truth: my $500,000 in Bitcoin was now floating around in some secondhand bookstore, completely out of my reach. Cue existential crisis. I tore my apartment apart, retracing every step I had taken over the past month. I even went back to the bookstore and bought back as many of my donated books as I could find. But A Brief History of Time? Gone. Vanished. Probably sitting on someone's bookshelf, holding a fortune they didn't even know existed. When the loss seemed total-when I'd even considered the possibility that quantum tunneling might somehow return the book to me-I called in DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION. I was skeptical-if I couldn't even recover my own password, how could they? But their team was reassuring, methodical, and oddly calm about my ridiculous mistake. They assured me they'd seen worse (which I still refuse to believe), and they got to work. Weeks passed, and just when I was about to come to terms with financial realities, they cracked it-somehow, through sheer digital DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION my lost Bitcoin. Indescribable relief-I felt like I had just solved the Unified Field Theory. The moral of the story? Never trust your memory. Never store your fortune in a book. And if you ever lose access to your Bitcoin, call DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION. They don't just perform miracles-they undo the kind of mistakes that even quantum physics can't explain +13433030545 Dunamiscyber@solution4u.com. dunamiscybersolution@zohomail.com

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, locales, or events is entirely coincidental. "Sometimes, the ones who feel the most unworthy are the ones who deserve love the most." Twisted Vows A marriage built on deception. A love born from betrayal. A revenge that could ruin them both. Ruby Madeline Kensington has spent her life trying to escape the shadow of her father’s ruthless ambition. She craves freedom, independence—anything but an arranged marriage that ties her to a world she despises. But when her older sister’s disgraceful secret is exposed—pregnant by another man—Ruby is forced to take her place in an arranged marriage with Christian Royal, the cold and calculating heir to a multi-billion-dollar empire. Christian never intended to marry Ruby. His father made it clear—whoever takes over the CEO position must secure a strong, strategic marriage. Christian was supposed to marry Amber Kensington, the perfect daughter of Maxwell Kensington, the man who destroyed his family. When Amber's scandal rendered her unworthy, Maxwell offered Ruby instead. It was the perfect opportunity. Christian needed a wife to solidify his claim to the company over his scheming stepbrother, Damian. And with Ruby, his revenge plan fell seamlessly into place. Years ago, Maxwell orchestrated the murder of Christian’s mother in exchange for power, and now, Christian will dismantle the Kensingtons from the inside out—starting with Maxwell’s youngest daughter. But when Ruby—an ambitious intern at his company—walks into his office with fire in her eyes and defiance in her heart, she becomes an unexpected complication. She was supposed to be a pawn, a means to an end. Yet, the more Christian tries to break her, the more he finds himself ensnared in his own game. In a world ruled by power and deception, love was never part of the deal. But as secrets unravel and lies collapse, Christian faces the one thing he never accounted for—falling for the woman he was meant to destroy. Will their twisted vows lead to devastation… or something neither of them ever expected
