THE NIGHTMARE LANDLORD

In a city that runs on caffeine and crushing debt, Ethan was just another guy one missed paycheck away from disaster.

But a silent plague is spreading through the sleeping metropolis. They're called 'Mind-Eaters'—psychic parasites that feast on dreams, leaving their victims in mindless comas. By a stroke of desperate luck, Ethan discovers he can enter the Dream World. Under the alias 'Morpheus,' he starts a dangerous side-hustle: a paranormal janitor who cleans out minds for cash.

His business model is about to change.

He soon learns he can do more than just defeat the nightmares. He can capture them. Contain them. And if a nightmare can be contained... it can be rented. Why just cure a client's fear when you can weaponize it and lease it to the highest bidder?

But this power paints a target on his back. He stumbles upon a conspiracy far bigger than he imagined: a shadowy corporation that doesn't just hunt nightmares, but *manufactures* them. They're the apex predators in this hidden world, and Ethan just trespassed on their territory.

To survive, Ethan must become more than a cleaner. He must become a landlord. To fight a corporation that builds nightmares, he must build an empire from them. But in a world where fear is a commodity, will he control his assets, or will they end up owning him?
