GLITCHED REALM
The game glitched. It took him with it.
Gamer Ethan Cole stays up late testing an open-world game called Aethelgard, and a system glitch drags his consciousness straight inside it. The world he is trapped in turns out to be far more real than it should be: NPCs break their own scripts, every respawn wipes pieces of his memory from the real world, and someone inside the game has been waiting for a player like him.
