Stray Cat Strut Novel

In 2057, Earth is divided between the ultra-wealthy who thrive in a corporate-controlled paradise and everyone else struggling to survive in a dystopian wasteland. Catherine "Cat" Leblanc, an orphan living at the bottom of society, faces an ordinary terrible day that becomes extraordinary when alien invaders suddenly descend from the sky, triggering the Incursion alarms. This cyberpunk magical-girl LitRPG follows Cat as she confronts extraterrestrial threats with an alien AI companion and a supernatural shop system that rewards her with points for eliminating aliens. She uses these points to acquire advanced alien technology and equipment. As an amputee with a cybernetic implant, Cat must navigate both the alien invasion and the corrupt corporate systems that dominate her world. The story explores themes of survival, pragmatism, and unexpected heroism in a world where the marginalized become humanity's unlikely defenders against otherworldly invasions.
