Ghostly Overclock

Leo knew the contract was a death sentence. He signed anyway. His sister Irene was dying, and a mechanic with nothing doesn't get to choose. The ghost marriage was supposed to end him. Instead, a jade pendant woke a voice that wasn't his own — Chloe, a murdered heiress, waiting for someone to free her. Their alliance gave Leo something he never had before: a surge of blue psychic energy that turned his hands into weapons and his senses into something almost predatory.

He went straight for Irene. The hospital was surrounded by gunmen. He walked through them like a man who had already died once. He carried his sister out, held her through a collapse, and poured his own life force into hers until she breathed again. But the trade cost him. His heart gave out mid-flight, and the only shelter left was an abandoned maglev car — a tomb with no exit. Then the hyenas of Scrap City crawled out of the dark, hungry for anything valuable. They thought he was easy prey. They were wrong.

Behind every fight, a larger war was taking shape. Carl, the man who murdered Chloe, was still out there. The hospital was only his opening move. Leo's body was breaking faster than he could patch it, but Chloe was teaching him to turn that destructive power into a thread — to stitch himself back together just long enough to land the next blow. He had traded his life for hers, and he would trade it again. Whatever came next, he was no longer the one running.
