If everything in the world could be traded, what would you exchange?
Would you trade something as insignificant as “grime from an object” for the value of “a hundred years of its history,” and get rich overnight?
Would you trade a “painful emotional memory” for your rival’s most devastating “business secret” and take your revenge?
Would you trade your fleeting, uncertain “luck in the future” for a chance to “escape death” and survive against all odds?
When an app called [Equivalent Exchange for All Things] was forcibly installed on my phone, my life set off down a road with no turning back.
I thought I’d gained the whole world, only to discover it was a devil’s bargain. Every trade that defied fate came with a terrifying backlash of cause and effect. And lurking in the shadows of this world were countless “traders” just like me, following the dark laws of the jungle as they hunted and devoured one another.
To survive, and to protect everything I hold dear, I must become the rules themselves before they consume me!
