The Cheat

This is yet another class work, I decided to make my own perspective, creating a whole world revolving around the admonishment of deceit and dishonesty. "Honesty Above All Else" is the slogan, the town of Aletheia follows it to a T. However, not every honest act means that you're acting morally, and not every moral act is honest.
If you are found to be dishonest, you will be administered to a "Dusting of Red Cross" which is a marking that let's everyone know that you're a dishonest criminal that should be preferably shunned from society. Jaeger is a person who sees that you need to act morally and is willing to take the fall if need be. His guilty conscience died a long time back.

(Also don't mind the cover it's the closest thing to what I was imagining, I'll replace it at some point. I hope y'all enjoy the story!)
