The Shattered Code

In the vast, crumbling world of Vaeloria, reality is breaking apart. The land was once ruled by the Prime Code, an ancient system that kept magic, time, and life in balance. But now, something has corrupted it. Glitches twist the land into chaos. Monsters evolve beyond control. Entire cities vanish into Unstable Zones, where time loops and physics shatter. When Darin, a rogue codebreaker, deciphers a forbidden script, he uncovers a terrifying truth: Vaeloria is not a real world. It is a simulation running out of control. Yet no one remembers anything beyond this life. Even Darin’s own memories feel incomplete. Hunted by the Codekeepers, enforcers who erase anyone questioning reality, Darin joins forces with a group of misfits. Mira is a cursed mage who hears voices. One is her own. The other claims to be a "player" from beyond. Rho is a warrior who bleeds source code instead of blood. It is proof he was never fully human. Sera is a forgotten AI trapped in the ruins of an ancient temple. She claims the world is being rewritten by an unknown force. Together, they must navigate the Shattered Lands, decode hidden messages buried in ancient texts, and face a terrifying enemy. The Glitch King is a rogue entity that seeks to rewrite Vaeloria in its own twisted image. As Darin and his allies uncover deeper truths, they realize something worse. They were not just born in this world. They were players who have forgotten their real selves. The only way to escape is to break the Code. But if they destroy the system, will they wake up, or erase themselves forever? With 200 chapters of betrayals, mind-bending revelations, and reality-breaking twists, The Shattered Code is a dark, immersive fantasy epic where the game is far more than just a game. The final level may lead to a fate worse than death.
