What happens when the game world stops being virtual… and becomes reality itself?

Liam Kane, an elite gamer and VR tournament champion, had only one goal—to dominate the world of VR Dominion and become the ultimate player. But everything changes when a catastrophic glitch merges the game with the real world, trapping millions inside a new, unforgiving reality.

The streets turn into battlegrounds. AI-controlled creatures roam free. The system assigns players unique abilities—but Liam’s power is unlike anything else. He isn’t a warrior or a mage. He’s a Tamer—one who can command the very monsters that threaten humanity.

As Liam fights to survive and uncover the truth, he learns the terrifying secret behind this new world: his father, Victor Kane, the head scientist of Nexus Corp, orchestrated it all. His goal? To reshape the world into a place of absolute order, where only the strongest thrive under his control.

Now, hunted by Nexus, rogue players, and unstoppable AI entities, Liam must gather allies, master his abilities, and challenge the very system that binds them all.

But when every battle pushes him closer to the final confrontation with his father, one question remains—

Is he the glitch in the system… or the key to setting everyone free?

Glitched Reality: Rise of the Tamer

The cavern remained eerily silent, save for the rhythmic breathing of the Riftborn Fenrir. Its crimson eyes flickered with a mix of resistance and curiosity as it stood beside Liam, its massive frame exuding raw power. The glow of the Rift's unstable energy still pulsed faintly around them, as if sensing the shift in ownership.

Liam exhaled, steadying himself. Taming this beast had taken more out of him than he expected. Unlike his previous tames, the Fenrir wasn't just another monster—it was something born from the abyss itself.

Kai leaned on his greatsword, shaking his head in disbelief. "Alright, Liam, I gotta ask—how the hell do you keep pulling this off?"

Selene smirked. "At this point, I'd be more surprised if he didn't tame something absurd."

Liam chuckled, though he could still feel the lingering exhaustion from the struggle. "I don't tame them. I make them realize I'm worth following."

The Fenrir let out a low growl, not out of aggression, but something resembling amusement. Its ears flicked slightly as it paced in a slow circle around Liam, observing its new master.

[Riftborn Fenrir Added to Tamed List]

Liam's system interface flickered to life, displaying the Fenrir's stats. His eyes narrowed as he scanned the details.

Riftborn Fenrir (Abyssal Variant)

Abilities: Abyssal Howl, Shadow Step, Void Resistance

Special Trait: Born of the Rift, this Fenrir thrives in darkness, resisting most non-abyssal damage.

Liam's grin widened. "Damn. You're a real monster."

The Fenrir let out a soft huff in response.

ECHO floated closer, its blue glow pulsing. "This is an unusual occurrence. Riftborn creatures rarely submit to external forces. The probability of success was less than 7%."

Kai groaned. "Stop making it sound like Liam winning the impossible is a surprise at this point."

Selene crossed her arms. "Still, we should be careful. The Rift isn't done with us yet."

She was right. The air remained thick with a lingering sense of dread. The Rift was shifting—unpredictable as always.

Then, the ground trembled.

A deep rumbling shook the cavern as cracks formed along the jagged black walls. The glow of the Rift intensified, the shadows distorting unnaturally. The very space around them seemed to warp, as if something else was waking up.

Kai took a defensive stance. "Tell me that's not what I think it is."

Liam's instincts screamed at him. "The Rift's destabilizing."

Before anyone could react, the space ahead of them split open—a tear in reality itself. From within the rift, something emerged.

A massive, grotesque figure of shifting darkness, its body constantly morphing as if struggling to hold a solid form. Its jagged claws scraped against the cavern walls, its hollow eyes glowing with an unnatural, malevolent light.

ECHO's sensors went wild. "Warning: Entity classified as 'Rift Warden.' Threat Level: High."

Liam's grip tightened on his weapon. "Guess we're not done yet."

The Riftborn Fenrir beside him let out a low, menacing growl, its fur bristling.

The Warden lurched forward, its shifting limbs striking the ground with immense force. The impact sent shockwaves through the cavern, making the entire space tremble.

Kai clenched his fists. "Alright, no running this time."

Selene vanished into the shadows, preparing for a precision strike.

Liam glanced at his new beast. "Fenrir, think you can handle this?"

The massive wolf-like creature lowered itself into an aggressive stance, its eyes locked onto the Rift Warden.

Liam smirked. "Good. Then let's show this thing what happens when it underestimates us."
