Synopsis

"This world is tainted..."

KARMA - a system made by the ruling power to provide security and stability for the people.

Every action counts - good deeds reward you with more points. Everyone starts from zero and has to make a name for themselves. Depending on your choices, you could also lose points, consequently giving you a negative count instead.

Having a high count is not just for show. Having a high count means employers trust you. Having a high count gives you a great but shallow life. "Why," one might ask. To put it simply, it is not the intention behind the action that counts.

A negative count gives you nothing but trouble. The attempt to enter school is futile, and there is almost no way of obtaining a "normal" job.

Will the main character of this story fight for righteousness using her hidden powers, or will she give in to the system?
