My Fake Secret Agent Organization Topples Real Global Conspiracies
Hopelessly obsessed with spy fiction, Akira Sato crafts an elaborate online persona as the enigmatic leader 'Zero' of 'Nightingale,' a fictional black ops group fighting shadow governments. Recruiting genuinely skilled but disillusioned operators online with missions based on internet conspiracy theories, he's horrified (and secretly thrilled) when their flawless execution starts dismantling actual global conspiracies.
Now, hunted by both shadowy cabals and legitimate agencies, Akira must maintain the Zero facade from his messy apartment, relying on caffeine, frantic web searches, and unbelievable luck to keep his hyper-competent agents pointed at the right bad guys... usually.
But as the conspiracies prove deeper and stranger than anything on the forums, involving rogue AIs, reality-bending anomalies, psychic cults, and shadowy global pacts reaching back decades, Akira realizes his game has become terrifyingly real. Can the shut-in analyst accidentally turned spymaster coordinate his elite team, survive the attention of entities that defy physics, and somehow prevent multiple apocalypses, all while trying to figure out what to have for dinner? His biggest secret isn't Nightingale; it's that he has absolutely no idea what he's doing.
