"Sign the contract, Ava. Play the part of my perfect woman for six months, and I will wipe out your debt by morning. Refuse, and watch your father’s legacy burn." He is Ethan Alexander Blackwood, the cold, pragmatic "Ice King" CEO of a multi-billion-dollar empire who treats human connection as a dangerous liability. But when a calculated corporate scandal threatens to strip him of his crown, he needs an immediate public shield to protect his throne. She is Ava Grace Carter, a fiercely resilient event planner drowning under a mountain of predatory debt. She loathes everything Ethan’s elite world stands for. But with twenty-one days left before the bank seizes her late father's company, she is forced to sell her freedom to the devil in a tailored suit.

But the moment Ava steps into his ultra-elite high society world under the fake arrangement, their transactional walls begin to crack. Deep family secrets reveal their matching fates were never an accident. Someone in the shadows wants them both dead, and the ultimate threat hides behind the faces they trust the most. As the contract lines blur into a dangerous obsession, Ava breaks her ultimate rule.

This story is about a boy and a girl who like each other, but they don't know if the other person likes them back. Let's see if they're able to confess their feelings or not... in time. Read at your own risk. Reading this might feel like a half-dead experience because there is absolutely no life in my writing yet. This is just a random thing I am trying to write. I have no actual idea how to write, I am just doing it because the idea seemed fun. I am not good at grammar or the structured form of writing, so things might be all over the place. Basically, do not read it. It is just a random thing I am trying to do. So YEAH, DO NOT READ, NOT GOOD, ALRIGHT?

Seven days. That's how long until the "Final Patch" drops and turns this world into a permadeath nightmare. While everyone's rushing to unlock rare classes and raid legendary dungeons, I'm doing the unthinkable: farming the same three slimes in the starting forest for the hundredth time. They call me broken. They call me bugged. They don't know that when the apocalypse hits, only one stat will matter: Total Level. And I'm the only one who knows that the "useless" tutorial mobs drop the key to breaking the level cap. This isn't a hero's journey. This is the story of a man who read the patch notes before the world ended.

Eliot, 22, has only one dream: to be normal. Get his degree, keep his amazing girlfriend, and blend into the crowd. But fate-or maybe that weird priest who performed an exorcism on him when he was eight-has other plans. Because Eliot has a secret he doesn't even know himself: he's a magnet for catastrophes. Not just any catastrophes. Everywhere he goes, "perfect" people tend to suffer fatal accidents-absurd, unlikely, and almost comically timed. A slip on the stairs. A forgotten allergy. A thunderstorm that strikes a little too precisely... The worst part? Eliot is convinced he's cursed. He lives in constant fear of the police and crushed by guilt over his clumsiness. What he doesn't know yet is that Karma has a very particular sense of humor. His "victims" are never innocent. A serial killer disguised as the ideal son-in-law, a neighbor with an unspeakable past, a web celebrity with cult-like tactics... Eliot cleans up the city without meaning to-one fall at a time. Between panic attacks, deadly misunderstandings, and criminal law exams, discover the story of the most incompetent-and the most effective-vigilante in history.
