DragosMinici
Alistair Fenwick spent sixty-seven years being a good man.
He listened, cared, helped others, and quietly swallowed every resentment, keeping an invisible ledger of everything he had sacrificed for people who rarely noticed the cost.
Then, one ordinary morning on Marchmont Street, Alistair pushed a young woman out of the path of a bus.
He died saving her.
His final thought wasn't noble.
Not once in sixty-seven years did I ever do a single thing for myself.
Eleven days earlier, a dying stranger had given Alistair a strange ring-one capable of listening to what a person truly desires. That final, bitter thought was enough to trigger it.
Alistair awakens young, in a new world beneath a purple sky, with a System notification before his eyes:
CLASS GRANTED: [THE DEBT COLLECTOR] - Unique
His new Class grows through Recorded Gifts: acts that others perceive as generous, selfless, or kind. The System doesn't care about his intentions. It only measures the act, the sacrifice, the risk, and what it personally costs him.
The greater the sacrifice, the greater the reward.
For the first time in his life, Alistair has discovered a way to profit from being the man everyone always expected him to be.
And this time, he intends to collect every debt.
