“Money isn’t power. It’s the leash around your neck.”

In the slums of Kuruya, money decides who eats and who starves. For Kai Zenko, a desperate street rat, survival means stealing scraps—until a single mistake lands him in the hands of the Reyin Gang. Given a choice: Obey and eat, or resist and die.

Now reborn as Nikey, he’s thrown into a brutal world of crime, deception, and power. Under the control of the ruthless Hibiki, Nikey learns the art of thievery, betrayal, and survival at any cost. But Kuruya isn’t just corrupt—it’s a city built to crush the weak. And Nikey? He’s done being at the bottom.

With each heist, each betrayal, each lie, he climbs higher, preparing for the ultimate job—the heist that will bring Kuruya to its knees.

But the closer he gets to power, the more he realizes:

To destroy a monster, he may have to become one.
