[System Awakening + Urban Superpowers + Mystery and Deduction + Rules Horror + Anti-Trope]
In an age when everyone awakens to their powers, Fang Shu binds himself to the universe’s only fraud System.
“Please watch your wording. Lying is illegal. Fraud is a lawful service for correcting cognitive biases.”
He tricks the principal into letting him stay in school.
“I just happen to have a recording of your conversation with the secretary.”
He scams a rich second-generation heir out of his savings.
“Bro, I’m Qin Shi Huang reincarnated. Send me a hundred thousand, and once I restore the empire, I’ll make you a great general.”
“Your Majesty, I’ve waited two thousand years!”
He tricks a deputy director of the Apocalypse Consortium into signing an outsourcing contract.
He thought he’d spend his whole life making money by sweet-talking people.
Then he found a prophecy System hidden in the school’s awakening records, disguised as a C-rank causal inference ability.
Every night, a new philosophy student dreamed of the same iron door.
The clock on it was always stopped at 4:10.
“Six people went in. Five came out.”
“The sixth person is the key.”
The Apocalypse Consortium had been searching for that door for four years.
They experimented on living people, and twelve prophets died.
Now they had their eyes on Fang Shu.
Because his fraud System was the only key capable of tricking the rules themselves into opening.
“The countdown on the iron door has begun.”
