Magic is the programming language of the world. But in a fantasy world, nobody has ever heard about programming. That is, nobody except Aurea. Formerly known as Aurora, she was reborn with all the knowledge she brought from Earth.

She spent the 40 years of her previous life studying society, science, programming, hermetism, mythology, and alchemy. She died financially broke and emotionally broken, but all her accumulated knowledge and her nerdiness are about to pay off.

She starts her life as the daughter of a slave, set against impossible odds from the beginning. But if incantations work as a programming language, then she knows exactly what to do to turn the tables. Words and syntax were the bread and butter of her former life, and material components look more like APIs and plugins.

She didn’t meet a Goddess, wasn’t summoned like a hero, didn’t have a System giving her an ability. Instead, she was just dropped there to fend for herself. But with her knowledge, she doesn’t need a cheat skill. She is the cheat herself.

Update Schedule is according to my time, which means Brazil Time (GMT -03). I wouldn’t be able to keep track of all timezones and the ever-floating Summer Saving Times and stuff, so you can either calculate it to your timezone, or just get used, because it won’t be changing for some time (I hope never, actually). I’m keeping some stockpiled chapters and always getting the posts scheduled, and any unforeseen circumstances will be explained in time.

Every day:

What NOT to expect in this novel:
- Explicit sex content
- Depiction of slavery in any “good side” or “positive light”. Slavery is Evil, period.
- The MC to enter a straight relationship
- Harem
- NTR
- Any form of race superiority or inferiority discourse
- Sexism
- Random banter about food or entire chapters dedicated to food (I mean, I love food as much as anyone else, I’m just too tired of every single isekai novel having entire chapters describing food)

What TO expect in this novel:
- A slowburn story
- Brain beats brawn
- Action scenes, though they aren’t the first focus
- The MC may enter romantic relationships, but they take more of a backstage role
- People trying to live healthy polyamorous relationships. They might succeed or fail, but the important thing is that this isn’t about one person taking center stage and everyone else worshipping them
- Sex might be mentioned or implied, but never more than that
- Sometimes the characters might use strong language
- Sadism
- No, really. Sadism. Aurea might be originally a 40-year-old from Earth, but a child's brain is a child's brain, and very susceptible to trauma. The roughness of the environment of her upbringing might warp her personality a bit. This isn’t to say that she will be down a villainess path. She will just have some pleasure in making evil people suffer. Think Yae Miko in her character demo, “Anecdote of a Divine Kitsune Guuji”, you can find it on YouTube. It’s that kind of “ludic sadism”.
- I’m not really sure on the level of… description of those scenes, yet. I think that when I get close to that, I’ll put up a poll to see your thoughts on the matter. It will take some time to get there, though.

The Girl Who Hacked The Magic System

I thought that I had it all under control, that I was playing the role of a 7-year-old well. When did she begin suspecting me?

Gods, I've fucked up hard this time.

"Yaci… I didn't hide it because I wanted to fool you, or anything like that. It's just… How am I supposed to simply tell people things like, 'hey, I'm seven, but I actually have memories of another life'? Who would have believed it?"

"I know… It's still too much to take in. I always felt like there was something weird with the stuff you talk about sometimes, like you're more mature than you appear. But this…"

"I understand. But I haven't changed; I'm still the same person as before."

"How old were you in your other life?"

I breathe deeply before telling her.
