Neon Meridian: System Breach

Kai Morrow makes a living splicing into fiber optics that don't belong to him. He's a small-time data thief in Neo Kowloon — broke, overlooked, surviving on bad jobs from worse people. When a dungeon breach tears open three blocks from his latest gig, his bootleg wetware implant starts showing him things no civilian should see: threat levels, loot tables, experience points, the raw source code behind the monsters pouring through the rift. The system that controls the breaches isn't just readable. It's *writable*. Now every faction in the city wants what's in Kai's head — the megacorps who profit from dungeon resources, the underground guilds who farm them, and something else, something vast and patient, watching from inside the code itself. **LitRPG meets cyberpunk noir.** No chosen one. No heroic destiny. Just a broke data thief with illegal hardware, thirty floors of monsters between him and answers, and a system that keeps offering upgrades he can't afford to refuse. *30 chapters · 98,000 words · Complete arc*
