Penalty: Seizure of Lifespan and Luck.] ​Armed with a system that turns every insult, bruise, and betrayal into "Debt Points," Arlan rises from the gutter. He discovers he can forcibly collect "payments" from those who wrong him—stripping away their health, their talents, and even their remaining years of life. ​He doesn't want an apology. He doesn't want peace. He wants to audit the world. ​From stealing the vitality of arrogance billionaires to seizing the luck of corrupt geniuses, Arlan becomes the world's most terrifying creditor. ​They say revenge is a dish best served cold. For Arlan, it is simply a transaction. And everyone is about to pay up.

The sky cracked, gravity started charging rent, and Dax Calloway woke up in the wreckage of his own city with a class nobody wants: Attrition Tank, a build that gets stronger only after it nearly dies. Six months later, survival isn't measured in food or fuel — it's measured in a number stamped over every living head, and the man sitting at #1 on that number is Marcus Reyes, the soldier Dax bled to keep alive in two different wars. Marcus doesn't purge the weak because the System told him to. He does it because he's convinced it's mercy. And Dax — still just trying to keep people breathing — is now the highest-profile liability on his old friend's ledger. To save what's left of his people, Dax has to climb a leaderboard he never wanted to be on, fast enough to reach the man at the top before the man at the top decides to erase him. But the deeper Dax fights into the Grid, the clearer it becomes: the Leaderboard was never the game. It's a harvest list — and the countdown is almost at zero.
