I Was Supposed to Escape the Terrorist Organization, So How Did I Become the Boss?

[Twelve Zodiac Signs with Special Abilities] [Plot-Driven] [Organization-Focused] [No System]

Because of the disasters wrought by monstrous beasts, people are forced to hide behind the Divine Wall.

The lower levels are plagued by famine, with people barely able to feed themselves.

The upper levels sing and dance, carousing night after night.

The people below believe that if they work hard and do their best, they will eventually make it to the upper levels and live like "real" people.

They also believe the Divine Wall is a gift from the gods, and that it is the wall that protects them.

But one day, a group of people suddenly declared:

"The Divine Wall has never protected us. It has imprisoned us."

"Instead of working hard to join the upper levels, we should fight our way in."

"The upper levels use the authority and empty titles of the gods to make you kneel..."

"The Wings of Freedom will make you stand."

In this world, there is a power that surpasses even the gods.

It is called the [Constellations].

And in Li Chen's mind floats a [Scales].

The [Scales] can exchange anything, as long as the price is high enough.

Stop time? Possible.

Prove something once and have it proven forever? Possible.

Destroy the universe? Possible.

Before Li Chen could celebrate, he spotted the exchange record beside him...

[Obtained: Rapid physical regeneration, a future awakening that will give him a whole-body Forbidden Mark, and greater luck.]

[Paid: Courage, 70 years of life, and some memories.]

Seeing the exchange record made every hair on Li Chen's body stand on end.

Here, in this mindscape that only he could enter...

"Who... without my permission... traded my lifespan with the [Scales]?"
