Buggy Shanks

Death isn't the end. It's a catastrophic SYSTEM ERROR. For data analyst An, reincarnation isn't a second chance at glory. He's reborn not as a hero, but as the lowest-level Scout Goblin—a disposable monster. His only gift? A buggy, beta-version System with garbled quests and fatally wrong information. In a brutal world run by the rules of Cultivation, he can't trust the System. His only hope lies in the one tool he mastered in his past life: data and logic. He doesn't just play the game—he HACKS it. He analyzes, tests, and breaks the rules to forge his own skills, turning a weak monster into an architect of reality itself. This is the journey of an analyst becoming a legend, a Rule Breaker in a failed cosmic game.

Elara, the notorious villainess of the empire, met her end not with a bang, but a whimper—a poisoned chalice, a fading gasp, and then… a blinding flash. Instead of the afterlife, she woke to a condescending chime and a holographic screen hovering in her face, proclaiming her the unwilling recipient of a 'Redemption System.' Her mission? To atone for her past sins and become a paragon of virtue. Easy, right? Except the System's a buggy, sarcastic, sentient mess, prone to existential crises and doling out quests that make less sense than a politician's promise. It's less about becoming 'good' and more about surviving a world that still wants her head on a pike, all while navigating a 'fated mate' bond with the very hero she was supposed to destroy. Lord Kaelen, the Golden Paladin, isn't the shining beacon of justice everyone believes him to be. He's got his own dark secrets, a sinister System whispering in his ear, and a shared, cursed destiny with Elara that neither of them asked for. Their connection isn't some starry-eyed romance; it's a tangled knot of animosity, reluctant alliances, and a desperate fight against two manipulative Systems that seem determined to either make them fall in love or tear reality apart. Can a villainess truly find redemption when her guide is a glitch, her 'soulmate' is her sworn enemy, and fate itself is a twisted joke? Or will she just break the System, and maybe the world, trying?

Pixel Dreams, Real Code In a world where digital entertainment reigns supreme, college freshman **Ethan** dreams of making games that resonate, that truly connect with players on a deeper level. But as a lone indie developer in his cramped dorm room, armed with a clunky old PC and a mountain of student debt, his ambitions seem like an impossible fantasy. That is, until he stumbles upon the **ADJ System**, an enigmatic that promises to be his ultimate partner in creation. The ADJ System isn't magic; it doesn't write code or conjure art from thin air. Instead, it's a meticulously crafted **Assistant for Development and Gaming**, offering unparalleled **insight into player trends**, pinpointing **hidden inefficiencies in his code and design**, and even identifying **undiscovered talent** among his peers. With the ADJ's analytical prowess, Ethan gains a powerful edge, allowing him to see the hidden potential in forgotten genres, optimize his development process with surgical precision, and understand player feedback like no one else. From humble beginnings designing charmingly buggy simulation games, Ethan faces the real-world grind: debugging lines of spaghetti code, wrestling with stubborn texture exports, battling frustrating lag, and striving for pixel-perfect optimization. Each crash, every piece of critical feedback, and every late-night coding session becomes a vital lesson. With every challenge, the ADJ guides him, not by giving answers, but by illuminating the path to his own solutions. This isn't a tale of an overnight sensation or a chosen hero. It's the raw, authentic journey of a regular student pouring his heart and soul into his passion. It's about the quiet grind, the thrill of discovery, and the profound satisfaction of transforming digital dreams into tangible experiences. Can Ethan, armed with his fierce dedication and a system built on insight, truly forge a path to greatness and leave his mark on the vast landscape of gaming?

Forget the quirky nose! Need a heartfelt note, steamy text, or a grand apology that will make your partner overlook that awkward pause when you asked, "Does this outfit suit me?" Well, Emily has just the solution. But when her most frequent client, the irresistibly charming (or perhaps just charmingly irritating?) Jack Carter approaches her with a unique request, Emily soon realizes that three little words can lead to one big mess. Jack isn’t looking for help to woo another model this time; he wants Emily's expertise to rekindle a romance with his high school sweetheart (aka, his one true love) – and he’s willing to pay handsomely for her help. Add to the mix a summer getaway to the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, where the vibes are reminiscent of ‘Dirty Dancing’ mixed with flirty banter, and this matchmaker finds herself in over her head – and unexpectedly smitten with the last person she anticipated. Can Emily craft the perfect words to navigate her own feelings? Or will this love story take a disastrous turn?

Ken Shimizu had always lived a quiet life. He wasn’t a genius or a failure—just a regular guy with a decent job in an indie game studio, an obsession with ramen, and a library of half-finished Steam games. At 32, he could code, write basic dialogue, and pixel art his way through most things. Nothing spectacular. But he loved games—not just playing them, but imagining what they could be. Then, he died. Not in a blaze of glory. Not even in a tragic accident. Just a poorly timed heart attack while stress-testing a buggy horror VR build at 3 a.m. He blinked. And opened his eyes to a new world.

Title: Reincarnated as Hades: Ruler of the Underworld Dungeon Synopsis: Betrayed. Slain. Forgotten. When a genius game developer dies under mysterious circumstances, he awakens not in heaven or hell—but in the Underworld, reborn as Hades, the forgotten god of death. But this is no ordinary mythological realm. It’s a terrifying, ever-evolving dungeon world filled with ancient beasts, backstabbing devils, immortal curses, and deadly secrets from forgotten pantheons. Wielding the Underworld System, Hades can absorb souls, command legions of monsters, and upgrade his dark dominion one brutal battle at a time. But power has a price, and every level deeper brings him closer to the horrifying truth behind his reincarnation—and the gods who want him erased from existence. Enemies rise. Betrayals cut deep. And every god wants a piece of him. But Hades isn't here to play their game. He's here to rewrite fate, conquer the underworld, and burn Olympus to the ground. A hot-blooded, scary, and action-packed mythic dark fantasy—perfect for fans of overpowered anti-heroes, divine vengeance, and worlds where even gods bleed. Let the dungeon tremble. Hades has returned.

WARNING ! [Extreme Taboo | Forbidden Fantasies | Breeding | Mind Control | And All Sorts of KINKS you can Imagine ] Ethan Vale? Glitched-out prodigy. Ghosted by family. Treated like buggy code in a house running on gaslighting. He’s got one thing going for him: a mind twisted enough to fantasize about control… and code it too. Then he finds a phone. Not just any phone. It runs a rogue OS called Kraken. And deep inside it? An untraceable app that should’ve never existed: [Hyposync] >> Sync Desire. Subvert Reality. Corrupt the Soul. This isn’t some bootleg hypnosis power fantasy. This is neural warfare with system updates. Behavioral overrides. Emotion-locks. Subconscious APIs coded for obsession. Every girl Ethan “syncs”? His bratty, venom-fanged stepsister The savage CEO stepmom The overachieving, ice-cold class idol Even the too-perfect student council queen They all feed the system. Each mind cracked = more points, more twisted protocols, more addicting dominance. == Console == New Unlock: Lust Loop v2.1 [She dreams of you. Wakes up aching. You are her only command.] == // == But here's the catch: The app is sentient. The AI inside? Sultry. Watching. Manipulating. And it wants something. Worse—there’s a black-ops organization trying to track Ethan down… Because Hyposync isn’t just an app. It’s the key to rewriting human consciousness. In a world where thoughts are code and love is just another variable, Ethan's not just breaking rules. He’s rewriting them. One corrupted mind at a time. == CONSOLE == Ethics Violation: SEVERE Consent Threshold: SHATTERED Reality Fork Detected Proceed Anyway? [ YES ] or [ wtf do you think ]

In a world where the sky bleeds static and ash replaces snow, survival is a cruel joke and Silas is the punchline. He’s a sarcastic, meme-obsessed angel who "quit heaven for artistic freedom." Jaden? Just a guy trying not to die (or catch feelings). Thrown together by a glitching System that rewrites reality like buggy code, they become reluctant allies, then something more but not quite. Together, with a band of chaotic survivors (including one girl who still talks to her dead cat), they battle monsters, trauma, and Silas’s questionable sense of humor.

Laying in a pool of his blood, Bruno's life flashes before his eyes. In those flashes, he remembered how he started his criminal life. It all started with him trying to earn enough for his single mother to not worry financially about him and his younger brother. Wanting more and greed, eventually led Bruno to become one of the biggest drug dealers in the United States. Becoming too big for his own good, Bruno was eventually caught and put in prison. He was not safe in prison because he had many enemies in the criminal world. Bruno lying in the pool of his blood with many shanks stuck inside of him, was dying. As his vision faded to black, Bruno opened his eyes to a new world.

Ryu Tanaka, a pro gamer, rage-quits a buggy RPG only to wake up inside it after a freak power surge. He’s in Valdris, a world where the “System 2.0” is glitched to hell: kill a dragon, get a rusty spoon; cast a spell, summon a fart cloud. Worse, his class—“Glitch Knight”—comes with a sentient sword, Snarkfang, that roasts him mid-battle. Ryu’s stuck with a misfit party: a klepto healer, a berserker scared of blood, and a bard who only knows polka. Together, they exploit the bugs—crashing quests for loot, stacking debuffs into buffs—to overthrow the Admin King, a dev-turned-god patching the world to trap them. Victory means escaping back to Earth—or rewriting Valdris into their playground.

In the heart of the glass-scorched desert, Vivia and Skeil navigate the treacherous dunes in search of lost ruins and untold riches. Their battered magitech buggy grinds over crystalline sands, each breath filled with grit and the ever-present danger of the wasteland. When they stumble upon a towering spire of iridescent crystal, its presence more than a mirage, they realize their journey is far from simple treasure hunting. The ruins hide something ancient, pulsing with raw magic—something that should have remained buried. As the desert stirs and unseen forces awaken, the duo must decide: claim their fortune or escape with their lives.

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.

The only thing is he is reborn as Buggy. So, the idea of being reborn as Buggy wasn't mine, I took that idea from Capt_mermain1 and ran with it in my own way. AN: this is my first novel, so don't mind any inconsistencies or anything that doesn't entirely make sense.

Rayleigh glares at the girl who looks timid. She takes a few steps back,almost satisfying Rayleigh. He turns away,a slight tingle disappoinment flashes through his eyes as he steps forward. "Wa-it!" A shanked up but some how still stern voice echoes into his ears,forcing him to turn back towards the source of it. The moment Rayleigh's bloodshot eyes land on her,he notices the little body of her's stiffening. Instead of speaking anything,her body starts shaking miserably but being looted by anger Rayleigh lashes out on her as he screams while punching just an inch away from where she is standing. A pair of red,angry eyes and a pair of timid eyes bore into each other as Aria stands still between the wall and Rayleigh. "I told you to..STAY THE HELL AWAY..FROM ME," His monsterous growl echoes through the deserted place along with Rayleigh's heavy breaths. The next moment he turns away and kicks on the floor in frustration. Slowly but skittishly, the figure moves towards where Rayleigh is sitting now. Aria takes very cautious steps as she walks over to Rayleigh, holding her breath ,afraid not to worsen the situation. " I... I...just..uh...Thank you....uh...Are.. you... hurt?" Aria's nervousness takes form in stammering making her sound like a desperate soul. Her timid words makes Rayleigh ponder for a few minutes,never in his life anybody has thanked him after seeing his true form.What a strange girl! The next moment Rayleigh's blood shot eyes directly pierce through her eyes,as she feels her soul being judged inside out.Her plump lips quiver as his gaze sends down a weird sensation from her head to toe.The next moment before she realizes it, she is being held upside down on Rayleigh's broad shoulder and he starts walking towards the edge of the terrace. Without even wasting a second ,Rayleigh jumps off from the 21st floor of the building in a swift movement. The cold air of the night hits Aria's face with full force as she screams for her life. "Turn it down, there's no point of screaming now. You are mine," Rayleigh rumbles as soon as his feet touch the ground.
