Daisuke was roused from his slumber by an insistent knock at the door. Rising from his position around the computer desk, he wiped the drool from his cheek and swiftly reached for his crutches, pushing himself to his feet with urgency. As he skillfully navigated through the mountains of trash in his room, another knock echoed. “Mr. Williams,” a muffled …

On record, the earliest a baby ever started walking is within three months. Daisuke shattered that record by a whole fifteen days. It was a shame the Guinness World Record had no place in this world, wherever it might be. “Oh, my goddess!” Daisuke’s mother exclaimed in a mix of shock and delight, dropping to her knees with arms outstretched. …

Daisuke lay sprawled on the cold, wooden floor. The relentless rain and screeching crickets outside were deafening, but it wasn’t enough to dull the violent maelstrom of thoughts raging in his mind. Dammit! I feel so useless! In my previous life, at least I had a job and my programming skills. But here, I feel like nothing more than a …

The world began to transform as Daisuke ventured further—the crude dwellings became less prevalent, and more structured houses towered in their place. Dirt roads gave way to cobblestones, and the bustling streets teemed with more well-dressed and coordinated individuals moving purposefully. “Hey Mister,” Daisuke called out to one of the busy-bodied pedestrians with as much courtesy as he could muster. …

Despite the sudden influx of signatures engaging with the servers simultaneously, Aphiniti—boasting an unparalleled processing ability—swiftly detected a grave anomaly. Without hesitation, she confronted the irregularity, her defense mechanism rearing its …

Rigid with tension, I turn around nervously with my back pressed against the wall.

My eyes flutter open slowly. I blink several times, adjusting to the unfamiliar environment that surrounds me. Soft morning light trickles through the half-drawn curtains, casting a gentle glow on the hospital room. The ambient sounds of beeping machines and distant voices meld into a constant hum in the background. The room, meticulously clean, exudes the scent of antiseptic with …

With my old, more capable pair of legs, the journey from the hospital to my apartment would have taken no more than fifteen minutes. However, burdened by a fracture and a body battered by villains, it now stretched to almost an hour. I don’t have much time left.
