Prologue

The truth was supposed to set them free. It shattered the world instead. In a future where every life is logged and every value is dictated by the omnipotent Global Consensus Ledger, Kaelen, a ghost in the system, unleashes a devastating truth. What begins as a surgical strike against a corrupt corporation unravels the very fabric of society, plunging cities into chaos and forcing humanity back to an analog existence. Now, hunted across irradiated plains and through crumbling arcologies, Kaelen and his unlikely allies must survive the world they broke. But the Ledger's power lingers, and some secrets refuse to stay buried. Can a shattered humanity forge a future from the ruins, or will the ghost of the past claim them all?
