The God tier Architect
Leo Vance is a ghost in the machine—a brilliant architect whose genius is stolen daily by his smug, charismatic boss. He's the "CAD monkey" who designs masterpieces, only to watch another man take the credit. His warnings are ignored, his reports are deleted, and his talent is treated as a cheap commodity.
He predicted the catastrophic failure of the Titan Tower down to the last sheared bolt. He knew it would fall. He never imagined it would fall on him.
Pinned by the very disaster he tried to prevent, with less than a second until impact, reality shatters. A mysterious System appears, offering him a title worthy of his skill: The Architect. It grants him the power to edit the world around him, to treat physics as a blueprint and reality as a draft.
But power always has a price. The System's offer is a devil's bargain: survive the impact by sacrificing decades of his lifespan, or watch his bank account get drained to zero for a solution that might be too slow to save him. Trapped between an early grave and a living death, Leo discovers the first rule of his new reality: every choice is a transaction, and the cost of survival is always higher than you think.
He was a man who designed buildings. Now, he must design his own escape from a problem with no right answers
