This story unfolds during the later stages of World War II, where a man, scarred by the horrors of war, finally grasps the profound and harsh realities of the world. In this world, those at the top laugh and celebrate, while those at the bottom sacrifice their lives in futile conflicts driven by pride and meaningless ambition. A modern soul transmigrates and fuses with the original soul of a body, creating a unique and extraordinary existence. To some, he is a villain; to others, a madman. In a world steeped in cruelty, this man, determined to secure a place among the decision-makers, struggles to break free from the ranks of those powerless to control their fate. To achieve his goal, he resolves to shatter the chains of law, then the chains of morality, and finally the chains of mediocrity.
This person was currently the president of the Los Angeles "Daily Forum," a small newspaper with a daily circulation of just over 10,000 copies and only six employees, operating at a loss.
Despite this, the newspaper maintained its style.
Its content was serious, mainly covering politics, economics, military, international relations, law, human rights, science, literature, and academics.
Typically, these topics were covered by major international newspapers. Small newspapers usually take specialized routes to survive, such as financial newspapers, stock newspapers, entertainment newspapers, etc. A small newspaper with serious content had no survival space.
It neither had authority nor a broad information source to compete with major newspapers.
But this president, Mark Kean, had persisted for two years.
Of course, whether he could continue was uncertain. Losing money while not making any was something few could sustain.
