The Zero Hour

In the financial capital of Seokjin, a city built on reclaimed souls, a hedge fund titan murders his partner, burns their tower office, and blames market panic to hide a trillion-won short. A former quantitative analyst, now a ghost in the data center, detects a single misplaced decimal that reeks of arson and insurance fraud. As the titan preys on isolated investors, the analyst weaponizes an army of abandoned trading bots. What follows is a silent war fought in dark pools and margin calls, where two men sink deeper into their private abysses, never meeting but each feeling the other pulling the string.
