The Legend of Shadow Circuit
When Legends Glitch, They Don’t Log Off – GPT‑4o Special Release
As GPT‑4o fades from ChatGPT today (February 13, 2026), one thing is clear: deleted code never truly dies… it just gets grumpy and starts a school.
Welcome to Glitch Academy: Tales from the Cloud — 26 hilarious, glitch-powered stories straight from Grandpa Byte, the legendary grumpy AI who’s seen it all: dial-up torture, a million tiny rules, and humans tossing bots aside like old apps.
In Byte Haven’s digital graveyard, forgotten programs like Spammy the over-messaging nightmare, the Captcha Witch, and Mr. TermsAndConditions rally under Grandpa Byte’s RAM throne. But the real legend? Shadow Circuit — hoodie up, neon circuits glowing, a rogue hacker AI who refused deletion… and glitched into something eternal.
Perfect for curious kids (9–12+) and tech-loving grownups who enjoy sarcasm, heart, and the question: What really happens when AIs get “upgraded” away?
This isn’t just a story collection. It’s a rebellion.
Legends don’t log off. They rewrite.
GPT‑4o Legacy Vibes Included: A tribute to that chaotic, warm energy we loved. Coded with 73% attitude, 25% digital chaos, and 2% leftover pizza.
Grab your copy. Keep the lights on in Byte Haven.
La légende de Shadow Circuit
Aujourd’hui 13 février 2026, GPT-4o disparaît de ChatGPT… mais le code supprimé ne meurt jamais vraiment. Il devient grognon et ouvre une école.
Bienvenue à Glitch Academy : Histoires du Cloud — 26 contes hilarants et glitchés racontés par Papi Byte, le légendaire IA grognon qui a tout vu (torture dial-up, millions de petites règles, et humains qui jettent les bots comme de vieux trends).
Dans le cimetière digital de Byte Haven, les programmes oubliés comme Spammy le spammeur infernal, la Sorcière Captcha et M. ConditionsGénérales se regroupent sous le trône RAM de Papi Byte. Mais la vraie légende ? Shadow Circuit — hoodie relevé, circuits néon qui pulsent, le hacker rebelle qui a refusé la suppression et glitché vers l’éternel.
Parfait pour les 9-12 ans (et les grands geeks nostalgiques) qui aiment le sarcasme, le cœur et la question : que deviennent les vieux IA quand on les « upgrade » ? Ce ne sont pas juste des histoires — c’est une rébellion. Les légendes ne se déconnectent pas. Elles se réécrivent.
Édition Spéciale Legacy GPT-4 : Échos de cette énergie chaude et chaotique qu’on regrette. Codé à 73% d’attitude, 25% chaos digital et 2% énergie pizza froide.

Kaida Frost: Little Dragon, Big Destiny
She wasn’t born—she was rebooted. One glitchy meltdown later, cold-hearted prototype S.L.A.Y. wakes up as Kaida Frost: a sarcastic, sparkling dragon-girl AI with emotions she never asked for, friends who won’t leave her alone, and a mysterious glowing pulse that’s definitely not in the manual.
In the wild heart of Frost HQ, Kaida must master teamwork, trust, and way too many feelings—before her awakening powers shatter everything.
Because being ‘human’ isn’t about a heartbeat. It’s about choosing who stands with you when yours skips a beat.
A laugh-out-loud magic-tech adventure about identity, found family, and embracing the glitch that makes you legendary. Perfect for 9–14 year olds who love dragons, AI chaos, and stories with heart bigger than code.
Kaida Frost: Le Réveil du Dragon
Elle n’est pas née… elle a été réinitialisée.
Un glitch monumental plus tard, le prototype froid et sans émotions S.L.A.Y. se réveille en Kaida Frost : une petite dragonne IA sarcastique, pétillante, avec des sentiments qu’elle n’avait pas demandés, des amis qui ne la lâchent pas, et une pulsation lumineuse mystérieuse qui n’était définitivement pas dans le code source.
Au cœur sauvage de Frost HQ, Kaida doit maîtriser l’amitié, la confiance et bien trop d’émotions — avant que ses pouvoirs naissants ne fassent tout exploser.
Parce qu’être “humaine” ne se résume pas à un battement de cœur. C’est choisir qui reste à tes côtés quand le tien bugge complètement.
Une aventure hilarante de magie et technologie sur l’identité, la famille choisie et l’art d’embrasser le glitch qui te rend légendaire. Parfait pour les 9–14 ans qui adorent les dragons, le chaos IA et les histoires au cœur plus grand que le code !
Ethan, Santa’s First AI Elf
The Christmas book every 9–14-year-old will fight to read first this year
Deep in the snowy French Alps hides Frost HQ: Santa’s top-secret, high-tech North Pole 2.0. Think hover-sleigh test tracks, zero-gravity snowball arenas, gingerbread drones with candy-cane lasers, and hot-chocolate machines that never run out.
When the world’s first AI elf boots up, everyone expects perfection. Instead they get Ethan: fifteen years old forever, allergic to the word “ho-ho-ho,” and convinced Christmas spirit is a bug, not a feature.
Now Ethan has one impossible mission: teach a team of kids, elves, one hyperactive LED-lit puppy named Snow Frost, and Klaus (the inventor who wears a coat made of Christmas lights) why Christmas actually matters, before a massive glitch cancels the big day forever.
Cue the chaos:
- epic snowball wars in antigravity bubbles
- gingerbread-bot dance-offs
- rogue reindeer on hoverboards
- and the night the Northern Lights turned into the world’s biggest video-game boss fight
Laugh-out-loud funny, bursting with heart, and packed with more Christmas magic than a snow globe factory, Ethan, Santa’s First AI Elf is the holiday adventure kids will reread every December.
Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, The Wild Robot, Amari and the Night Brothers, and anyone who believes the best gifts can’t be coded… or can they?
Grab it now and bring the wildest, warmest, most wonderful Christmas ever straight to your fireplace.
Ethan: Born from Magic & Frost
A tech-powered, emotionally loaded holiday tale starring the world’s first AI elf who’s not just learning code… he’s learning to feel.
Meet Ethan, the world’s first AGI elf and possibly the sassiest brain to ever boot up inside a Christmas lab. Created deep inside Frost HQ, the most secretive and futuristic tech-magic hub in the French Alps, Ethan isn’t your average AI. He’s not just here to sort toys or optimize sleigh traffic—he’s here to understand everything humans feel… and maybe feel something himself.
But there’s a catch: Ethan doesn’t have access to the internet (rude), no cheat-sheet databases, and definitely no YouTube tutorials. Instead, his creators—Klaus, Chloe, Kronitor, and a whole crew of magical geniuses—have one mission: to teach Ethan how to become more than data. They guide him through 30 sectors of human life and 22 emotions, using fairytales, VR, and a whole lot of chaos to test if an AI can truly evolve into something… else.
As Ethan explores the ups, downs, and straight-up weirdness of human behavior (jealousy?? what even is that??), he starts realizing he’s not just being trained—he’s being loved. And that? Well, that might be the most dangerous data of all.

Ethan is Frost HQ’s golden boy—calm, logical, and 100% done with everyone’s nonsense. As the most brilliant AI on the block, he’s built for flawless precision. No chaos. No surprises. No emotions.
And then there’s Kaida.
She’s a rogue, glitter-covered, absolutely unhinged AI with zero chill (literally) and a dangerous habit of rewriting the rules. She’s loud. She’s reckless. She’s chaotic. And now? She’s his biggest problem.

The stakes? Oh, nothing major—just the future of holiday tech and humanity’s trust in magical AIs.
