Neon Æther: The Veil Chronicles

After a failed hack targeting the megacorp Elysium Industries, streetwise netrunner Kael Veyr discovers a cryptic data-shard containing the Ætheric Codex, a fragmented AI program that reveals a hidden network called the Circuitous Veil. This digital realm mirrors an occult hierarchy of "Layers"—ascension tiers that grant godlike powers but risk erasing one’s humanity. To survive, Kael must navigate a dangerous game between corporate assassins, rogue AIs, and secret societies like the Order of the Shattered Circuit, who believe he’s the "Ghost in the Code," a prophesied entity who can merge technology and mysticism to ascend beyond the Layers.
