God of Contracts: I Can Trade Anything Novel

Bruno Hornes inherited a mysterious contract from his vanished parents, granting him the extraordinary ability to trade anything—wealth, talent, insight, identity, and even fate itself. He leverages this power strategically, acquiring health from the poor to sell to the sick, collecting insights for himself while establishing profitable exchanges. By trading for the combat skills of hundreds of knights, he becomes formidable. He even negotiates with an imprisoned god, purchasing freedom and loyalty. Realizing his personal growth is too slow, Bruno establishes a secret organization with intermediaries who facilitate trades for others in exchange for modest commissions. Within this shadowy network operating beneath a low-hanging moon, members avoid speaking his name directly. Instead, they refer to him as "the Covenant Weaver" or "the Scale Lord." When competing interests require resolution, he manifests in various forms—sometimes as an elegant gentleman wielding a golden cane, occasionally as a one-eyed crow with golden luminescence, or most frequently as a towering figure seated upon an impossibly high throne.
