When top-ranked rivals rriisee07 and bubuu collide in the MMORPG Forest Affairs, their latest boss fight ends in a catastrophic glitch—one that rips them out of the game’s code and into something terrifyingly real. Trapped in a warped version of the world, stripped of interfaces and safety nets, they’re bound by a sadistic new force that feeds on desire, fear, and everything they refuse to admit.
Rhys, a guarded omega hiding behind an alpha persona, wants nothing to do with bonds—especially not with an infuriating fire-wielding rival who sees too much. Mikhail, the player behind bubuu, is used to control, not connection—but something about Rhys feels disturbingly familiar.
As deadly trials force them together, their survival depends on trust, truth… and a bond neither of them chose.
In a world rewritten by longing, can they win without losing themselves?
A glitch-fantasy MM romance blending rivals-to-lovers tension, immersive game worlds, emotional healing, and sharp humor—expect slow-burn angst, dangerous trials, and a love story that rewrites the rules of reality itself.
