System Overdrive: Rise of the Ghost Racer
In the neon-drenched streets of Los Angeles, 2000, Lucas "Luka" Monteiro lives for the roar of engines and the perfection of a perfectly tuned machine. Orphaned and alone, the 19-year-old prodigy pours his genius into building cars from scrap—until one late-night tuning session awakens something impossible.
A mysterious system manifests in his vision once every month, displaying floating stats, levels, and rewards that no one else can see. Experience comes from pushing limits: street races, death-defying drifts, impossible modifications. Progress is slow and punishing, but the payoffs are life-changing—a complete high-performance car kit to assemble by hand, stacks of cash, even property.
With no family to hold him back, Luka dives deeper into the underground racing world, his body and mind sharpening with each subtle level-up. Reflexes become razor-sharp, intuition turns mechanical impossibilities into reality. Yet the system demands precision: follow its blueprints exactly, or lose everything.
One memory lingers—a fleeting glimpse of a beautiful dark-haired woman behind the wheel of a black Honda Civic glowing with neon, tearing through the night. She represents something more than just another racer... but first, Luka must survive the streets and master the system before it consumes him.
Buckle up for a high-octane blend of Fast & Furious action, Need for Speed intensity, and litRPG progression. In this world, death is temporary—power is earned one mile at a time.
Will Luka become the ultimate ghost on the asphalt, or will the system break him first?
