Hello, and welcome to the world of Threads of Fortune!
Thank you for choosing to start this journey. Before you dive in, here is a brief synopsis of the story and what you can expect.
Synopsis
Hayashi Riku was a ghost in his own time, a disgraced analyst whose future was already over. A single, fatal misstep sends him hurtling back to the past—the gritty, optimistic, and analog world of 1990s Kaishi.
But this is not the past he remembers. It is a "broken mirror" of reality, a world where history was rewritten and titans of industry he's never heard of rule the stock market.
Armed only with his knowledge of a future that may never happen—his "compass"—he finds a new, impossible purpose: to find and resurrect a failed, revolutionary technology called Prometheus OS, a dream that died five years ago. To do this, he must hunt down its two genius creators: a cynical, broken architect haunted by his past, and a reclusive, ghost-like programmer who has erased himself from the world.
With no identity, no allies, and a mysterious pouch of cash, Riku must forge a new life, build a company from lies, and make an impossible bet that could either change the world or get him killed.
What to Expect
A Slow-Burn Thriller: This is a story about strategy, suspense, and psychology, not constant action. It's a chess match, not a brawl.
An Intelligent Protagonist: Riku solves his problems with his mind and his wits, not his fists.
A Unique Reading Experience: This novel is formatted with a unique, easy-to-read style designed to be enjoyed on any screen.
I'm so excited to share this story with you. I hope you enjoy it.
