The Ghost in the Machine

Summary

I was the protagonist of a story written in blood and bitterness.

The System forced me into this role, a celestial architect whispering that if I played my part—if I followed the script of my own destruction to the letter—I would receive the only thing I ever wanted.

I just wanted to know if Matt could come back. If there was a version of the universe where he wasn't a ghost.

The System’s answer was a riddle, a vague promise that it all depended on my "performance." And so, I stepped onto a path of orchestrated agony.
