When a mysterious note appears on Agent’s desk, his world is turned upside down. A name he thought was buried resurfaces, pulling him into a deadly game of secrets, obsession, and forbidden desire. She is everywhere yet nowhere—watching, waiting, leaving behind nothing but cryptic messages. Is she a ghost from the past or the shadow of his future? In a game where love and revenge intertwine, one wrong move could mean losing everything. Some love stories are written in ink. Theirs is written in blood.

The city calls him a monster. The media brands him a serial killer. The police want him dead. But they have it all wrong. In the neon-drenched underbelly of the world, he isn’t just another killer—he’s an assassin. A ghost in the system. A name whispered in fear. Framed for crimes he didn’t commit, every faction with a gun and a grudge is after him. His only allies? A black-market system that rewards perfection with power… and punishes failure with death. Contracts dictate his survival, skills must be earned, and every upgrade comes at a price. To escape the noose tightening around his neck, he must play the game. Hunt the hunters. Unravel the conspiracy. And in the end, decide—will he break the system or become its deadliest weapon? Because in this world, there’s only one rule: Level Up or Die. #Cyberpunk #Assassin #Thriller #LitRPG #Crime #Dystopia #System #Action #DarkFantasy #Conspiracy #PowerProgression
