Han Jihan, a bottom-tier Porter left for dead in a dungeon, survives by signing a "god-tier" contract with the mysterious Death Bank. Instead of mana, his powers cost lifespan and physical health, inflicting agonizing penalties like memory loss and organ failure. Guided by Luna, an Auditor who becomes his moral anchor, Jihan rises as the famous "Miracle Hunter." The triumph is short-lived. When Jihan finally clears his sister’s medical debt, the Bank cruelly seizes Luna as a "late fee." To save her, Jihan is forced to become a Reaper, hunting innocent Hunters to pay off the interest. From this rock bottom, Jihan orchestrates a brilliant rebellion. Using his Reaper authority, he gathers "Glitch Essence" to trigger a dimensional inflation, aiming to collapse the Death Bank’s economy from the inside out. As the Bank begins "liquidating" Earth, a physically decaying Jihan turns against the Director. Despite his hair turning white and his heart failing, he dismantles the system’s servers during an apocalyptic invasion. At the peak of the collapse, the system issues one final notification: his life debt has been replaced with an infinite bonus balance. Death Mortgage is a gritty, dark-comedy action story about a man sacrificing his humanity to destroy a cosmic corporate tyranny.

Tristan Asher died on the floor of the Apex Gate, betrayed by the one man he trusted, while the world he'd spent five years trying to save burned around him. Then he opened his eyes in his own apartment—twenty-three years old, five years younger, fourteen hours before the sky cracks open and everything begins again. This time, he's not here to be a hero. He's here to win. He has a list. Every gate, every betrayer, every mistake that cost him everything—he remembers all of it. What he doesn't expect is her. Kira Knight should be a stranger. Instead, he already knows her coffee order, the way her voice drops when she's trying not to cry, and exactly how she died in the life he's not going back to. He can't tell her any of that. He can't tell her he's already loved and lost her once, or that the System itself has a name for what he is—and a warning waiting underneath it: *you are not the first.* Someone else came back before him. Someone else had the same plan, the same knowledge, the same fourteen-hour head start. It didn't work. Now Tristan has seventy-two hours to become someone the apocalypse hasn't already beaten, a woman he isn't allowed to love yet, and a truth he's terrified to find out—why every version of this story before his has ended the same way.

Plagued by constant losses and sleepless nights, he watched his savings vanish trade after trade, until the final blow came in the form of a phone call that shattered his world.
