The Universe
GrungeZhou is cosmic noir: street-level stakes, god-level consequences. A mute ronin hunts the men who killed his cat. A blue horse narrates. The universe runs on belief — gods, Matrices, and tyrants all feed on it.
Spoiler policy: this wiki covers premise, characters, and themes. Plot specifics stay light so the books can still surprise you.

Chairman Meow
An orange cat. The reason for everything.
Vix & Bunny
A dagger fighter and a sniper. The book's emotional core.
Libeu & the World
The district, the Matrix, the Red Gaze, the briefcase.
