Liam Hartley

Liam stumbled into his cramped apartment, the clock showing past midnight. Another day of lectures. Another long shift. Another night fueled by ramen cups and energy drinks, sustained only by one last pull before bed. He kicked off his shoes, ignoring the clutter of wrappers and cans, and collapsed onto his mattress. But then… His eyes flicked to the clock, noticing the time. "MT is over!" Adrenaline shot through his veins. Exhaustion vanished as he scrambled to his gaming setup, chair squeaking as he flung himself into it. Mouse in hand, screen illuminating his face, Liam clicked on the game’s icon. Destiny’s Impact. The gacha game that owned his soul. "Shower? Cleaning? Nope. The banner is live!" As the game loaded, his inbox flashed. One unread message from Miraverse. "Thank you for playing! Enjoy this exclusive multi-summon ticket." Liam’s pulse spiked. Not a standard pull. Not even a premium pull. "Guaranteed SSR+… 0.0001% chance of an EXCLUSIVE CARD?" His heart pounded. The banner shimmered—the character he simped for, their outfit so detailed it could be framed. Liam pressed his hands together. "PLEASE! RNG GODS! BLESS MY ACCOUNT'S LUCK!" He clicked ‘Wish x10.’ Gold. Something rare. He shot out of his chair, clicking frantically to skip the animation. "Come on, I’m broke! I need this!" Then— His screen glowed. Brighter. TOO BRIGHT. A blinding flash engulfed the room. Liam shielded his face, stumbling back. As the brightness faded, his breath hitched. Someone stood before him. Welcome to Liam Hartley’s world, where wish banners come true in ways no one expected. Now, he’s faced with the ultimate glitch: What happens when fantasy becomes reality? And most importantly… what happens next? What kind of character are you? Do you remember your world? Do you recognize Liam? What is your costume? Your equipment? You decide. After all, it's your new reality.
