The apocalypse didn’t destroy the world. It erased knowledge. Civilization collapsed, magic replaced science, and monsters inherited the land. Humanity survived—but only barely. I was reborn into that world. I learned quickly that power here is inefficient, fragmented, and fundamentally flawed. Mages store mana in fragile circles. Aura users flood their bodies without understanding control. I chose a different path. I connected mind, heart, and core into a single system—Arcane Soul—and built Chessmaster, an operating system designed to treat reality like a board and every conflict like a game of strategy. Gravity answers my calculations. Flesh obeys my intent. Magic bends when properly optimized. Then I made one mistake. A ritual went wrong. My memories shattered. I woke up surrounded by corpses, blood on my hands, and consequences I couldn’t remember creating. Now I move forward carefully. This world is full of gods, monsters, academies, and ancient entities pretending they can’t die. They believe power is about talent, lineage, or destiny. They are wrong. I don’t need destiny. I only need time.

Fuck the communists, fuck the Nazis, fuck the fascists, fuck the liberals, fuck the socialists, fuck the politicians, and fuck the nobles. I tried to be helpful. I tried to change things. But there was always a “but,” always a “no,” always some problem. ENOUGH… I’m not going to sit back and let some fucking idiot decide what I’m supposed to do with my life. No more of these idiots treating me like a piece on a board. I’ll run my own life. I’ll stabilize this system that’s falling apart, PERMANENTLY.

The greatest genius of the Lin Clan lost his cultivation overnight. While everyone rushed to humiliate him, Lin Mo Chen could only sigh. He had read far too many cultivation novels not to recognize this scenario. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never underestimate a poor young man." He knew exactly what would happen next: the fallen genius would rise again, crush everyone who had looked down on him, and turn anyone who stood in his way into another stepping stone on his journey to the peak. Provoke someone like that? Lin Mo Chen wasn't nearly that crazy. All he wanted was to cultivate his Spiritual Rings in peace and live a quiet life, far away from all that. But if the world insisted on pushing him onto that same stage again and again... then he would have no choice but to become strong enough that no one could ever make decisions for him again.

Miyako Amane transferred to the prestigious Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School—a place where meritocracy decides everything—under the invitation of her friend’s father. Her goal? Just to enjoy high school life. Make a few friends. Maybe experience a sweet, innocent romance. That was the plan. Unfortunately… she became a little too popular. Before she knew it, her peaceful life turned into chaos: Love letters on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Confessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. And on Sundays—finally—she rests. Miyako Amane: “Being liked and confessed to feels great, but… why are all the people confessing to me girls?!” Sakayanagi Arisu: “You’ll have to ask yourself that. Also, stop researching ‘Sakayanagi-exclusive Mousse Cake,’ it’s creepy.” Horikita Suzune: “You’re so annoying. My mouth hurts from reading you bedtime stories—now go to sleep!” Ichinose Honami: “Miyako-san is so cool! Um… if she doesn’t peek at me changing again, maybe my evaluation will be higher~” Shiina Hiyori: “I’m reading. Please, Amane-san, don’t tempt me with food—especially not that embarrassing ‘Shiina Hiyori Approved Type II Bear Cookie’!” And so begins the bizarre daily life of the most dangerous transfer student in the Classroom of the Elite—the girl who accidentally started a school-wide Yuri phenomenon. -------------------------------- Read up to chapter 40 in advance at p@treon
