From the author of My Vampire System: A super-enhanced leader and his growing pack attract attention from the wrong sort of people in this LitRPG fantasy. It's hard to believe that not too long ago Gary Dem was a low-level errand boy with no promise of a future. Because with some help from his...

The System arrived. Humanity fell. Oscar just wanted to build a better toaster. When the Galactic Integration transformed Earth into a ruthless tutorial zone for the wider universe, billions perished. Monsters roam the ruined streets of Seattle, and the survivors are busy forming guilds, claiming combat classes, and fighting over mana crystals. Oscar didn’t get a combat class. Thanks to his obsession with fixing broken electronics when the System dropped, he was assigned the lowest-tier crafting class available: Junkmancer. Armed with a rusty wrench, a sarcastic System interface, and the ...

Generative AI has revolutionized how organizations tackle problems, accelerating the journey from concept to prototype to solution. As the models become increasingly capable, we have witnessed a new design pattern emerge: AI agents. By combining tools, knowledge, memory, and learning with advanced foundation models, we can now sequence multiple model inferences together to solve ambiguous and difficult problems. From coding agents to research agents to analyst agents and more, we've already seen agents accelerate teams and organizations.

The System’s new rating was supposed to be the most accurate in history. It rated me as a corpse collector. Four years of being a washout Mage, and the re-rating drops me to Tier-0 Reclaimer—the administrative bottom. Grave-picking. Ruins-cleanup. Docked rations, barred from any crew that matters. It missed one thing. My class sees what the dead leave behind—orphaned experience, discarded skills, power tangled in the rubble where no rated adventurer can even look. Free, for anyone patient enough to pick it up. So I pick it up. I scavenge the monster-haunted zones the strong won’t ...

You didn’t save time, you just started managing AI. You try to get AI to do something. You write a prompt, expecting it to handle the task. It gives you an answer… but it’s not really what you wanted. So you tweak it. Add a bit more detail. Try again. Now there’s another issue. Something still feels off. So you adjust it again. Rewrite parts of it. Clarify what you meant. And it keeps going like this. Each time, you get a little closer… but never quite there. So you step in again—guiding it, correcting it, fixing it. Before long, you’re constantly tweaking and micromanaging ...

People paid me to make their characters legendary. Then the game turned real — and trapped them inside. I’m a booster — a carry. You pay me, I grind your character to the cap while you live your ordinary life. Launch night of the expansion, I deliver one last rush order. At zero, my rig goes dark. Fine. I needed cigarettes anyway. Except the hallway is gone. My one-room apartment is a concrete cube in black grass under two moons. No logout. No support. Just a welcome panel for a classification no player has ever had: [Service Provider] The System rebuilt my account into a unique class...

PORTAL MAINTENANCE: FER SAL This is the 2nd Edition with I hope all the issues cleared up. Thank You Look, if you are looking for a serious, grimdark fantasy about a "Chosen One" fulfilling an ancient prophecy, I am not your author. But if you need a good laugh, interdimensional tax evasion, and weaponized 1970s upholstery? Pull up a chair. My name is Joseph. I'm a bankrupt systems engineer who bought a falling-down estate in rural Alabama for forty-four grand, entirely because the phenomenally misspelled "Fer Sal" sign in the front yard spoke to my soul. Turns out, the previous owners ...

Aldric Fumblewick has been a licensed wizard for eleven days. In that time, he's accomplished exactly one thing: breaking up with his girlfriend. He called Scorla "too intense." He mentioned the sock hoarding. He delivered his rehearsed speech at their favorite tavern, where the fireplace erupted, the candle melted into a puddle of waxy surrender, and the decorative hunting tapestry burst into flames. Aldric assumed she was upset. He was right. He was also wrong about nearly everything else — starting with the fact that Scorla is a three-hundred-and-forty-year-old dragon who's been living...
