I was sentenced to death for treason. But the execution was never meant to kill me. As the lethal injection entered my neck, I learned the truth — my body had a rare neurological compatibility. I wasn’t a criminal to them. I was a container. They transferred my consciousness to a hidden facility, erased my identity, and attempted to upload the mind of Alex Wieland — the world’s most powerful billionaire — into my brain. They wanted a rebirth. A younger body. A second life for a dying titan. What they didn’t expect was me. Before becoming a death row inmate, I was the top operative of a classified unit trained in consciousness defense. When the billionaire’s mind invaded mine, I didn’t break. I fought back. Inside my own head, a silent war began — memory against memory, will against will. In the end, I consumed him. His knowledge. His skills. His global empire. Now I stand in his place, armed with military tactics, corporate power, and secrets worth trillions. As I uncover others who survived the same experiment, we form a hidden alliance — victims turned predators. The people who created this system believed minds could be traded like assets. They were wrong. Because now, I control the rules. And the world is about to find out who really survived the execution.

Exhausted and grief-stricken, he hails a taxi in the middle of the night, unaware that the streets are alive with ancient spirits and curses, born from the regrets of the dead and the fears of the living.

At that moment, he awakens a unique ability: ancestral blessings begin to protect him, granting him luck, protection, and unseen guidance.
