Dead Man's Boots

Max, a former financial analyst, discovers he can see numerical luck scores floating above people's heads. His first client is a perpetually unlucky barista whose score is plummeting. Instead of mere predictions, Max starts selling "lucky minutes" — brief sessions where clients can make perfect decisions. His system collapses when a woman with a permanent score of zero walks in. Her misfortune proves contagious, draining Max of his own gift. Now he must regain his ability before his business fails and his clients face financial ruin, all while navigating the absurd rules of a world governed by visible chance.
