The Apocalypse arrives, and a countdown suddenly appears on everyone's retinas, showing them how long they have left to live.
When time can be stolen, humanity and social order collapse in an instant.
Breathing costs money. Staying alive is a constant expense.
But Lin Yuan discovers a loophole in the System: a backdoor that should not exist, allowing him to view everyone's time-trading records.
Reborn, Lin Yuan decides to live life his own way. In a world where everyone trades their lives for food, he uses bookkeeping, launders time, and exploits bugs in the rules, turning a lousy golden finger into a backdoor on a whole new level.
Others trade their lives for one more day. He trades one day for an army.
