Your misfortune has a market value. Vikram Patel is here to buy it.
After a career-ending scandal leaves him blacklisted from Wall Street, Vikram discovers he can see what no one else can: the literal price tags floating above people's heads. Not for objects. For curses.
A bad luck hex: 47 curse-units. A lover's quarrel: 120 CU. A generational poverty curse: 400 CU and climbing.
Vikram doesn't fight the supernatural. He monetizes it.
He buys curses from the desperate, sells them to the ruthless, and pockets the difference. But when the Karmic Regulatory Commission comes investigating his unlicensed trading, Vikram uncovers something worse than regulators: someone is manufacturing curses at scale, preparing to crash the entire supernatural economy.
Now Vikram faces an impossible choice: offload his portfolio and walk away rich, or risk everything to stop a karmic catastrophe.
