Elias Thorne has thirty days to save his daughter or lose her forever.
One bad decision lands him bleeding out in a high-tech gaming lounge. When he collapses into an experimental VR pod, he doesn't wake up in a hospital.
He wakes up in Aethelgard.
The system has never seen anything like him. It doesn't know what to call what he is. So it creates a new category.
Glitch Variant.
The game is brutal. The stakes are real. And the people who own this world have no intention of letting him leave.
Elias has one objective. The same one he's always had.
Get home to his daughter.
Some men play the game. He runs the war.
