The System Wants to Control Me? I'll Work It Into the Ground Instead

A customer gives me a hard time over a delivery, my account balance is almost empty, and I can barely afford the rent. As a wage slave struggling at the bottom, I’m being ground into the dirt by life.

Other people get bound to a System and coast their way to success, with their lives taking off in an instant.

I get bound to a System and spend every day watching my back, afraid I’ll stumble into one of the traps it’s laid for me.

It wants to make me a pawn that does what it’s told. I just want to make it a useful tool.

I pick and choose which tasks to do, take every reward, and never step into a trap.

From delivery guy to studio owner building a business, from being looked down on to having everyone curry favor with me, I, Lin Langtian, carve out a path through the System’s schemes with my own wits.

A tug-of-war between Host and System: who will end up getting the better of whom?
