System Light Novels & Stories

“You see. This is unstable. One person’s interpretation of intent is not a system. It is tyranny with better optics.” “Spoken like someone who never intended to share power,” I shot back. One of the screens flared suddenly, cutting to a live feed from across the city. A hospital wing. Lights flickering. Backup generators whining. Patients frozen mid procedure. My stomach dropped. “They are touching critical systems,” Adrian said sharply. “I know,” I whispered. The machines had not damaged anything yet. They were testing edges, tracing dependencies, learning where pressure would break things and where it would not.

Blaine kept refreshing my results page, muttering to himself, “Impossible. This has to be a system bug!” The principal and several reporters standing nearby stepped forward and clearly saw my SAT results page. The score field was blank. Below it, a line of black text appeared clearly on the screen. [Total Score: Your ranking has entered the top 50 in the state. Detailed results will be available on the 27th.] Not only were the people present stunned, but even the comments floating in front of me froze for several seconds before suddenly exploding.

“ Sorry, Please continue. I won't interrupt again.” “ We are planning to have a 21 layer security system: Electromagnetic enclosure for deflecting sunlight, Infra-red enclosure to deflect low beam radar spying, Positron enclosure to allow your system to go back up to 5 minutes and rectify the glitch in case an error occurs in the system…………………….” He lost her after that. Whatever he said didn’t exist in the dictionary of Sia’s pea-sized brain. Interrupting him midway, she said, “Yorick. You know I can't follow any of the technical terms used by you. It is just a waste of time. Just go ahead with whatever you have planned.”

Maddison’s POV Grant and Maddison stood in a circle around his computer. They looked past Leo’s head. With his shaking finger, he pointed to one program which was running in the background in Marcus’s system files. “See that? SysDiag_Ver_4.1.exe. It’s a complete copy of our system checking program. PERFECT DISGUISE. But not our program. It’s a coded messages system. High-level. Military-level." Her heart was pounding loudly against her rib cage. “He’s been running it all along,” Leo’s voice firmer. “Right under our noses,” Leo finished and it felt as though one was finding another person’s muddy foot prints in one’s own room.

After seeing the blue screen, Alex's eyes became bright, and a smile appeared on his face. He waited for this moment for a long time; he knows what the blue screen represents. The gods are giving him a chance to become a powerful being. He saw a black box on the blue screen; the box is emitting the golden light. Alex didn't wait for a long time to click on the black box. *Ding* *Ding* *Ding* A notification sound rang in his mind three times. He saw the system name he got on the screen. He heard names of some systems like wind system, air system, fire system, lighting system, strength system, and water system, some other systems.

While she does that, I set up the computer that I will leave in this packhouse. “Okay, Yana, you’re up,” I say once the computer is ready and Wendy is done confirming that the other lines have no security protocol. “What do you need?” she asks excitedly. “I need you to watch these lines as they connect. Periodically, the system will ask you if you want to continue. Always say yes. As the security system starts activating, these lines will go from red to green. If any of them turn yellow, we’ll have to fix them. I’m going to take Wendy to the other packhouse and get this started over there. When I come back, I’ll need to know how many are yellow and how many stayed red.”

He disappeared while his system was urging him to quickly come down Red Alert! Red Alert! Red Alert! Red Alert! Red Alert! Red Alert! 'Host mood is fluctuating. Nearing on the danger zone! Please calm Host mood immediately, please calm Host immediately!' That’s what system Eye was hearing from the assistant system of his Host who was responsible for checking the daily data and fitness of the Host if it was still in the calm beating process System Eye of course as someone with no sympathy even for the Host nephew did not react at all as he leisurely look at the surroundings using his Host eyes as his vision.

I say. He’s already turning. “You feel it.” “Yes.” Matteo groans. “No. No, we just fixed everything. We are not doing this again.” “It’s not the same,” I say. “Of course it’s not. It’s never the same.” Aidan steps closer to the console. “Source,” he says. I scan the system. All readings normal. All data consistent. Nothing out of place. And yet— “It’s not in the system,” I say.

I nodded, and my stomach fluttered with anxiety again. “The Border Core is the heart of the System. Disabling the System though the program is possible, just as you have witnessed. But it is a temporary situation, and can be easily remedied. You only need to activate the System’s backup function which will remove all harmful inputs in the System. As the Interface, I will handle that part.” Grandpa Alamo explained, and his holo form shifted back into the spell-circle. “But to be able to do that, I will need you. It is a security measure I have adopted to make sure that our family will not be taken advantage of by those who want to use the Border System for anything aside from what I created i

⸻ My entire body tensed. ⸻ “You leave monsters alive long enough…” ⸻ The figure stepped closer into the light slightly. Still hidden.
