In the freezing, neon-drenched metropolis of Early, warmth is a death sentence and survival is a currency. Delit, a ruthless street enforcer, possesses a volatile, forbidden cheat: the absolute command over white-hot, soul-consuming fire. In a world governed by 'System 1' - a cold, digital authority that regulates human life-force - Delit lives by a single, terrifying promise to his targets: 'I will definitely let you know when you die.' Armed with his destructive flames and a heart hardened by betrayal, Delit climbs the ruthless hierarchy of Early to hunt down the corporate oligarchs who experimented on him. Yet, every time he sparks his blaze, he risks burning away his own humanity, threatening to turn into the very monster he seeks to destroy. As the System's executioners close in, Delit must decide if his vengeance is worth ashes.
