A small notification popped up in his mind:[Passive Skill: Ghost Physiology activated.][Data Processing Speed increased by 400%.][Warning: Unregistered corporate network detected. Identifying system anomalies...]Michael leaned back, a cold smile spreading across his face. "Unbelievable. The corporate System has the exact same flaws as a standard tax ledger."He found it almost instantly—a hidden backdoor in the company's digital infrastructure. It was a macro-level rounding error, a digital tax loophole built into the very code of the building's physical structure. Every time the company processed values, a fraction of a percent of "experience data" was redirected into a restricted zone below the building."The Sub-Basement Archive," Michael whispered.According to the corporate ledger, that area was marked as a 'low-level training dungeon' for new interns to learn basic data retrieval. But looking at the hidden numbers, Michael could see it was actually a dumping ground for comp
Chapter 9
At sleep Michael had a dream, the dream always started with the smell of burning copper and the bitter taste of almonds on the back of his tongue.Michael was on the floor. The marble tiles of his own living room felt freezing against his cheek, but his chest was on fire. He couldn't move his legs. Above him stood Ashley, his face cast in shadow, holding an empty vial. His laughter didn't sound human; it echoed like tearing metal. Behind him, his family lay still, their faces blurred out by a terrifying gray mist. His bank accounts, his real estate holdings, his life's work—all of it was being sucked into a digital vortex on a massive screen behind her head.“You were always too soft, Michael,” his voice hissed, vibrating through his teeth. “A good auditor, maybe. But a terrible player.”He tried to scream, but only black fluid spilled from his lips. He had been dead for three months. He could feel the rot in his bones. He could feel the absolute finality of his failure.Then, the dar

She walked over to a massive, automated closet and pulled out a stack of neatly folded, high-end modern clothes."These belong to my ex-partner," Serena said, tossing them onto the bed. "He left them here when we broke up six months ago. They should fit your frame. Go take a hot shower. I'll have the kitchen unit prepare a fresh meal for you. We can finish this conversation when you look like a human being."Michael nodded. "Thank you, Serena."An hour later, the transformation was absolute.Michael stepped back into the dimly lit living room, and Serena almost didn't recognize him. The dust and grime were completely gone. He had shaved the rough stubble from his face, and his dark hair was neatly styled, combed back away from his sharp features. He was wearing a well-fitted, dark midnight-blue modern sweater and tailored black trousers. Without the ridiculous, oversized 80s suit hiding his frame, the clothes emphasized a lean, striking elegance. His posture was still perfectly str

The apartment was stunning. It featured minimalist design, clean white leather furniture, and a massive glass wall that showed a breathtaking view of the glowing Lagos skyline. It was silent, peaceful, and smelled faintly of expensive lavender oil.Michael walked in, his heavy shoes tracking a bit of dust onto the clean floor. He sat down on the edge of a sleek, modern white couch, keeping his posture perfectly straight despite his physical exhaustion.Serena walked into the kitchen and returned a moment later with a glass of warm water, handing it to him. She sat down on an armchair opposite him, crossing her legs, her sharp eyes studying every inch of his face."Alright," Serena said, her voice serious and demanding. "Talk to me. You look like a twenty-year-old kid who just failed his basic corporate entry exams, but when you speak, you sound like... I don't even know. Who are you? What happened to you today?"Michael took a slow sip of the water, feeling the warmth spread through h
Chapter 6
A sudden wave of deep, cold despair washed over him. He was completely homeless. He had no money, no food, no identification, and no shelter. In the 1980s, he could have walked into any barracks or boardroom in the city and commanded immediate respect. Now, he was a nameless, penniless ghost standing in the shadow of his enemy's fortress, completely locked out of the world.The night air began to grow cold. Michael stepped back into a dark alleyway directly opposite the Vance Global skyscraper, trying to shield himself from the biting wind.He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cheap, plastic black burner phone. The HR representative at the Platinum Group had thrown it onto his desk that morning, telling him it was for mandatory company tracking. He didn't know how to use its smart functions, but he knew how to read the digital display. He pressed a button, checking the time. It was nearly 9:00 PM.As he pulled his hand out of the deep pocket, his fingers accidentally caught t

Michael walked back into the open-floor office of the Platinum Group of Companies. The heavy, warm food box was gripped tightly in his left hand, but he wasn't thinking about the grilled meat anymore. His mind was spinning from the name printed on that glowing metallic card resting deep inside his pocket.‘Serena London. Chief Operations Manager, Vance Global.’He sat down in his cramped cubicle. The blue neon lights overhead flickered quietly, casting a pale glow across his cheap desk. He set the food box aside and stared at the transparent glass terminal in front of him. To a regular man from the 1980s, this technology would be a terrifying nightmare. Floating 3D data streams pulse in mid-air. Light-nodes wave gently, waiting for a human touch to expand them into massive sheets of information. The user interface was completely smooth, completely digital, and completely alien compared to the clunky, static green-text monitors Michael had used to manage his multi-million dollar sh
