I Control Gold
**I Control Gold**
**Read the final chapter? Check.**
**Complain about the ending? Check.**
**Get sniped out of the sky as a literal golden coin? *Wait, what?***
When 21-year-old college slacker **Kai Thorne** finished the final page of his favorite fantasy manga, he expected a post-series depression—not a fast-track ticket into the story itself. Blasting through the atmosphere as a gleaming piece of currency, Kai crash-lands smack-dab in the middle of a brutal, unforgiving desert.
The good news? He’s gained absolute power over gold. He can create it, shape it, and bend it to his will. The weird news? Flesh and blood are *so* last universe. Kai is now strutting around as a shiny, golden humanoid with wrist-mounted golden battle-axes and zero interest in the local power dynamics.
He’s not here to save the world, and he’s certainly not here to rule it. Armed with infinite net worth, fourth-wall-breaking humor, and a complete disregard for fantasy tropes, Kai is playing by gag-character rules in a world that takes itself way too seriously.
Demons are invading, empires are crumbling, and hero prophecies are unfolding—but Kai is too busy weaponizing shiny metal and trolling legendary swordsmen to care.
*Who needs a hero when you’ve got a walking, talking, blade-swinging fortune?*
