SPENT:every second is a weapon

William Chandler was a liar, a thief, and a world-class con man. He cheated banks, corporations, and the occasional war criminal—and he was damn proud of it.



Until someone cheated him back—with a bullet.



Now, trapped in a strange World beyond life and death, William meets a god who offers him a deal:

“Pass my trials, and you’ll live again. Fail—and your soul is erased.”



Sounds simple... until William wakes up in a world ruled by a single, brutal law:



> Lifespan is currency. Every second you spend is a second closer to death. Skills cost minutes. Magic drains days. Power? That’ll take years.







And William?

He has 24 hours left on his clock.



Armed with only his wit, a mysterious system, and a sharp tongue that gets him into more trouble than it solves, William must outthink monsters, manipulate power-hungry nobles, and survive a world where every breath comes at a price.



He can’t afford to trust anyone.

He definitely can’t afford to fail.

And if he wants to live again…

He’ll have to con death itself.
