About the Novel – System Origin

Published on November 1, 2025 by

As an IT enthusiast with some programming knowledge, a touch of OCD, and a passion for web novels and manga, the author couldn’t help but have his OCD scream when things just pop out of nowhere without explanation. Things like that bug him quite a lot—just like those bugs that randomly cause program crashes. Where do these ‘Golden Finger Systems’ come from? Driven by an insatiable need to fill in the gaps of the stories he reads, the author embarks on a journey to give some respite to his own OCD. So yeah, if you’re ailing from the same sickness, this might be a good one for you. However, this will not be a promise. Everyone has their own medicine, and if you take the wrong one, you might end up with more headaches. This will be your responsibility, and hopefully, you won’t blame the author for it.

If you’ve ever been waiting for an origin story of those ‘Golden Finger Systems,’ this book offers an attempt to answer that question, straight from the mind of an obsessive reader.

The protagonist
In a world where magic reigns, ancient beasts lurk, and cultivators push the boundaries of reality in their quest for immortality, Eshmund Isagani is a young man born into this land of mystery and wonder. Yet, despite growing up in this world, he is unlike anyone else. He carries within him the memories of a life he never lived memories of the 21st century, of a time when computers and robots dominated human existence.

Eshmund doesnt fully understand how he came to possess these memories, but he soon realizes that they offer him an unprecedented advantage in this ancient, magical world. While his peers rely on centuries-old wisdom and inherited magical traditions, he sees the world through a completely different lens: a world governed not by magic alone, but by principles that can be broken down, understood, and manipulated almost like lines of code.

Driven by an insatiable need to understand the magical forces around him, Eshmund sets out to combine his ancient, lived experience with the memories of his past life as a programmer. He begins observing the magical world through the lens of logic and problem-solving, trying to decipher the rules that govern magic, martial arts, and even the way people cultivate their inner energy. Every spell, every magical creature, every mystical phenomenon becomes a puzzle he wants to crack.

Through a careful mixture of his life experiences in the magical world and his programming knowledge, he begins to form his own theories about how magic operates. He starts applying principles like optimization, algorithm design, and even debugging to magical spells, cultivating techniques, and understanding the hidden structures of the world. What if the magical energy coursing through the world could be treated like a resource that needs to be efficiently managed? What if there were flaws in the magical program that he could exploit?

With each new insight, Eshmund begins to push the boundaries of magic in ways that others never thought possible. By blending what he learns through trial and error in this magical world with the memories of a high-tech future, he crafts his own understanding of magic, one that is not just about wielding power, but about controlling and manipulating the very fabric of reality.

Fiction Coder: Book One is a gripping tale of discovery, innovation, and survival. In a world where magic is often treated as an ancient, unbreakable force, the protagonists unique fusion of mystical experiences and modern-day logic offers an entirely new perspective. A journey to decipher the magic that rules his world quickly becomes a mission to challenge everything he thought he knew about magic, technology, and the nature of reality itself.
