Foundations

The galaxy found humanity, judged it feral, and locked it out of everything except the Tower of Somnus — a game played in dreams, meant to civilize us. Corporate ward Kat Debs sleeps her way into it from a cyberpunk megacity where her day job is espionage and her night job is levels.

Progression: dual-world builds — dream-game magic that pays real dividends in a chrome-and-contracts dystopia.

Reader fit: you want cyberpunk and fantasy leveling braided tight, with corporate knives in both.

Texture: sleek, tense, two worlds per chapter.
