They Erased My Name To Pay Debt, Now I Own The Master Ledger

In a world where breathing is a subscription, his existence has just been canceled. Aethelgard is a vertical neon hell where physics is governed by predatory economics. Here, the elite live forever by harvesting "Life-Seconds" from the poor, and every heartbeat is taxed. Silas is a "Ghost"—a boy deleted from the Global Ledger to pay for his parents' debts. He doesn't legally exist, which makes him the only person in the city the System can’t track. Equipped with a glitched "Ghost Account," Silas can short-sell reality itself—borrowing power from his future and dumping the agonizing physical costs into a void in his mind. But something ancient is living inside that void, waiting for Silas to slip into the red. Silas isn't looking for a way out. He’s looking for a Hostile Takeover. He’s going to climb from the toxic slums to the glittering Spires, liquidate the gods who erased him, and become the Sovereign Creditor of the universe. The market is about to crash. And Silas is the one pulling the plug.
