The Legacy System

Marcus West was about to swallow a handful of pills when someone started pounding on his door. Three years ago, he had everything. A restaurant he built from nothing. A wife who believed in him. A future. Now he's got $186,000 in medical debt, a dead wife, and a condemned hotel room in the Tenderloin. Then Jerome shows up bleeding, holding a USB drive and gasping: "They did it to you too. Here's proof." Turns out Marcus's life didn't fall apart by accident. His restaurant was sabotaged. His wife was a federal agent murdered for protecting him. His father was killed for knowing too much. The same people destroyed all of them. Now Marcus has something they didn't expect: the Karmic Debt System. A power that turns suffering into currency. Every nightmare, every loss, every moment of pain—it all has value now. And Marcus has been suffering for a very long time. They took everything from him. He is about to take it back and with interest. Can Marcus tear down the empire that destroyed everything he loved before the debt consumes him? Or will his quest for vengeance cost him what little humanity he has left?
