In this world, dreams aren't harmless.
They're currency.
Society doesn't crush dreams.
It harvests them.
In a system where schools manufacture obedience and jobs reward conformity, creativity is siphoned from the young and repurposed for profit. Original thought is dangerous. Individual vision is a liability.
But one voice refuses to be silenced.
Known only as the Dream Thief, our narrator has learned to survive in secret—guarding their creativity, tailoring their vision in the shadows, and quietly studying the machine designed to drain it away.
This isn't just rebellion.
It's reclamation.
As the cracks in the system widen, the Dream Thief begins to understand the true power of originality—and the cost of surrendering it.
