Dream Trading and the Subconscious Crisis

In a world where the “DreamNet” system developed by the technology company Oneiros has become the world’s leading entertainment and social platform, dreams are no longer private. They can be recorded, shared, and even traded. Leo Card was once a rising star in the industry, a gifted dreamweaver skilled at crafting wonderful dreams people never wanted to leave. But after a tragedy in his past, he exiled himself and became a down-and-out artist scraping by on odd jobs in the city’s backstreets.

His life is turned upside down when a private nightmare he creates to pay off his debts, “Chaos Beast,” filled with oppression and fear, accidentally leaks from his old equipment into DreamNet. The nightmare spreads like a virus, infecting users’ dreams and triggering mass psychological panic and real-world chaos.
