Terry Riles sold his life for $100,000. The military took his money, his friends, and his life instead. Betrayed on the Iranian coastline, sent to die as cannon fodder, he died powerless and angry. His last thought was simple: In the next life, I won’t be powerless. He woke up 200 years later. The sky is metal. People are taxed for breathing. If you can’t pay, the system takes your limbs. His new name is Loui. His new sister dies in front of him the same way his old family did. This time, he won’t fail. If this world runs on power, he’ll become the power it couldn’t tax. Info: - Chapter 1-3 was a backstory of Loui Ashen's past life as Terry Riles. -This is a mix of sci-fi and fantasy. -This story could contain strong words that others may find agressive or offensive. This was my first novel. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy! Fate_Aslheim:)
