Insufficient Balance

Here, every breath you take pays. I've been in debt for sixteen years, dating back to my great-grandfather. The overseer whips me, the system deducts my lifespan, and the nobles suck my blood. Today I don't want to endure it anymore. Knocking down the overseer with one punch, trading a heartbeat for five seconds of invincibility, rescuing a mute girl, and rushing into the sand. Alarms sounded behind them: the reapers had set off. My name is Lin Shen, not a number. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
