Neon Requiem

"To kill a ghost, you need to become one."

In the sprawling neon abyss of Vireon City, where consciousness can be copied and reality is sold, a burned-out courier named Renn Calder discovers a synthetic girl with something impossible inside her: a living memory of his own. On the run from corporate assassins, hacked cops, and a world on the brink of AI revolt, Renn and the android VIO must navigate a fractured metropolis where the past has been deleted, and the future is monetized. But as forgotten secrets surface and the city begins to riot they uncover a plan that could end the divide between man and machine…or erase what’s left of both. Haunted by his own erased identity, hunted by the system he helped build, Renn must decide: will he save the soul of a machine or let the world burn one last time?
