Eerie Descent: The Rule Tax Collector

In the third year of the Bizarre Era, global rule-based horror erupted. Some people survive by following the rules. Others use them to prey on people. Lu Zheng, a former accountant, awakened a strange golden finger the day after he was laid off: He could see the accounts behind the horrors. Hello, your convenience store has been falsifying its revenue. Sealed. The last bus charges for three stops but only travels one? Pay your taxes. And you think tax evasion is justified? With a single tax bill, he brought every horror in the city under his command. The horrors became employees, the ghosts got social insurance, and the Rules Tax Bureau officially opened its doors. Then he received a statement from the Rules Bank: Mr. Lu Zheng: An account has been opened in your name at our bank. Please deposit your first unit of fear as soon as possible. He thought he was collecting taxes from the horrors. He had no idea that he was the auditor this bank had been waiting thirty years for. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
