In a world where time flows like code in a massive, unbroken game, two ordinary players—Zeke, a laid-back gamer, and Lila, a tech-savvy mastermind—find themselves trapped in the ultimate simulation. A mysterious villain, known only as The Glitch, is altering history by hacking into time itself. To save reality, Zeke and Lila must travel through different timelines, solving puzzles, battling glitches, and uncovering forgotten secrets of a digital world that may be more real than they thought...

Zeke leaned against a digital wall, staring at the swirling pixels that surrounded him. “So, we’re really stuck in here?” he asked, disbelief still lingering in his voice.

Lila, her fingers dancing across her holographic interface, nodded. “It seems that way. The Glitch has created a loop in time, and we need to break it if we ever want to get back to our lives.”

The air crackled with tension as Lila pulled up a map of the various timelines they could explore. Each one was marked with a different color, some pulsating like a heartbeat, others flickering erratically. “We’ll need to visit these timelines to gather information and tools. Each one might hold a piece of the puzzle.”

Zeke squinted at the map. “What do you think is in the yellow zone? It looks… unstable.”

Lila’s brow furrowed. “That could be a risk, but it might also contain crucial data about The Glitch. We won’t know unless we go there.”

“Alright,” Zeke said, adrenaline coursing through him. “Let’s do it!”

With a nod, Lila activated a portal, a swirling vortex of colors that beckoned them forward. They stepped in, the world around them dissolving into a cascade of numbers and symbols.

woah this world is amazing but I'm still extremely worried what if the glitch brought us here 

it must be him why else would we be looking for him don't you remember the time crystal when we undraped it it said from your friend glitch

CHAPTER 2 THE YELLOW WALL

They emerged in a realm that looked like a video game gone haywire. Buildings glitched in and out of existence, and strange creatures scuttled around, flickering like bad graphics. Zeke blinked, trying to take it all in.

“This place is… chaotic,” he remarked.

Lila nodded, her eyes scanning the environment. “It’s not stable. We need to find whatever The Glitch has hidden here and get out fast.”

As they ventured deeper into the yellow zone, they stumbled upon a group of NPCs—characters frozen in time, caught in a loop of repetition. One was a merchant, offering goods that shimmered and then vanished into thin air. Another was a warrior, eternally swinging his sword at an invisible enemy.

“What do you think they’re doing?” Zeke asked, observing the bizarre scene.

Lila approached the merchant. “Excuse me! Can you help us?”

The merchant paused mid-sentence, blinking at them as if they were not part of his code. “Help? What is help? I trade, I barter. Time flows, but I am stuck.”

Zeke exchanged a glance with Lila. “He’s trapped in this glitch,” he said, realization dawning. “If we can free him, maybe he can give us something useful.”

Lila focused, using her tech skills to analyze the merchant’s code. “I think I can rewrite his parameters,” she said. “But I’ll need your help to distract the warrior.”

“Got it,” Zeke replied, cracking his knuckles. He stepped forward, waving his arms to catch the warrior’s attention. “Hey! Over here!”

The warrior turned, sword raised, ready for battle. Zeke dodged just in time, leading the warrior on a wild chase while Lila worked her magic behind him.

With a few rapid keystrokes, she rewrote the merchant's code, freeing him from the endless loop. The moment the merchant blinked to awareness, the world around them flickered and stabilized slightly.

“Thank you, brave travelers!” the merchant said, his voice filled with gratitude. “I have something for you.” He reached into his shimmering inventory and pulled out a glowing

artifact. “This is a Time Token. It can protect you from The Glitch’s attacks.”

Zeke took the Time Token, feeling its warmth pulse in his hand. “Thanks! We’ll need this.”

As they prepared to leave, the ground trembled beneath them. The warrior, now enraged, charged at them, glitching in and out of existence.

“Run!” Lila shouted, grabbing Zeke’s arm. They sprinted towards the portal, narrowly avoiding the warrior’s wild swings.

With the Time Token clutched tightly, they leaped through the portal just as the warrior’s sword crashed into the ground where they had just stood.

no...come...back..253246126

RUN RUN

IM AM RINNING FOR MY LIFE

Zeke and Lila stared at the world around them, noticing something odd. The trees flickered, pixelating like broken television signals. The ground beneath their feet was rippling, and the sky turned an eerie shade of red.

“We need to find the source of this glitch!” Lila exclaimed, her voice shaky with tension.

Zeke pulled out the mysterious device they had found earlier. It was now glowing with a faint green light. “I think this can help us. Look,” he said, pointing to the screen. It displayed a strange set of coordinates.

“It’s like a map,” Lila said. “Maybe it’ll lead us to the source of the glitch.”

Without hesitation, they began following the coordinates.

Every step felt surreal. The ground trembled as if the world was on the verge of collapsing. As they moved deeper into the simulation, they encountered strange creatures—data monsters, glitches come to life, with flickering, disjointed forms. They were composed of corrupted code, their movements unpredictable.

“Watch out!” Zeke shouted, dodging one of the glitch creatures. He grabbed a nearby stick and swung it at the creature, but his blow phased right through it.

“We can’t fight them,” Lila realized. “They’re not real—just broken code!”

Thinking quickly, Lila opened her backpack and pulled out a small device they had picked up earlier: a code decryptor. It

hummed to life as she pointed it at the glitch monster. The device beeped rapidly, and the creature flickered before vanishing.

“That was close,” Zeke said, catching his breath. “We have to be more careful.”

As they ventured deeper, the landscape began to distort further. The sky flickered between day and night, and gravity seemed to fluctuate, making each step heavier than the last. But the device’s coordinates pointed them onward, leading to an ominous, towering structure in the distance.

“There,” Lila whispered. “That must be it.”

The structure was unlike anything they had ever seen. It was a giant fortress made entirely of swirling code, its walls

shifting and warping as if the whole building was alive. At the entrance, lines of glitching text floated in midair, warning them of the dangers ahead.

“This must be where The Glitch is hiding,” Zeke said.

Lila nodded, determination in her eyes. “If we’re going to save reality, this is where we start.”

As they stepped closer to the fortress, a booming voice echoed from within. “You think you can stop me? You are mere players in my game.”

Zeke and Lila exchanged glances. “We may be players,” Lila shouted back, “but we’ll rewrite the rules.”

With that, they pushed open the glitching door and stepped into the heart of the simulation, ready to face The Glitch.

Are you sure you are ready to face the glitch

yes and you are coming with me

he moment Zeke and Lila stepped into the fortress, they were engulfed by a wave of cold air. The walls around them pulsed with neon code, shifting in and out of existence. It was like stepping into a living, breathing computer virus.

“We need to stay sharp,” Zeke whispered, gripping the mysterious device tightly. The screen flickered, showing erratic patterns that mirrored the chaos around them.

As they ventured deeper, the hallways twisted and turned, leading them in unpredictable directions. Lila scanned the walls, noticing that fragments of the environment would briefly stabilize before falling apart again.

“It's like the simulation is trying to repair itself but failing,” Lila murmured.

Suddenly, a figure materialized in front of them—glitchy and incomplete, but unmistakable. It was a humanoid form, towering over them, with red, flickering eyes. It was a fragment of The Glitch.

“You shouldn't have come here,” the figure hissed, its voice distorted as if coming through a broken radio. “You are outmatched.”

Zeke instinctively held up the glowing device. “We don’t have time for this!” he shouted.

The figure laughed, its voice echoing off the walls. “Time? Time means nothing here.”

Without warning, the glitch creature lunged at them. Lila acted quickly, pointing the code decryptor at the monster, but

it only flickered slightly. “It’s too strong!” she gasped. “We need to find a way to weaken it.”

Zeke’s eyes darted around, searching for anything useful. That’s when he noticed it—a faint, pulsing light embedded in the walls of the fortress. “The code in the walls!” he realized. “It’s linked to this creature!”

He dashed toward the nearest wall and swung the device at the pulsing light. The wall sparked, and the creature staggered, its form flickering even more.

“Lila, hit the walls!” Zeke called out.

Together, they attacked the walls, striking the glowing fragments of code. Each hit weakened the creature, its form destabilizing until it finally collapsed into a pile of static.

Panting, Zeke and Lila stood still for a moment, catching their breath. “We need to move faster,” Lila said. “That was just a piece of The Glitch. We’re getting closer.”

The hallway opened up into a vast chamber, the center of the fortress. Suspended in the middle of the room was a massive core—a swirling, chaotic mass of raw code. The walls shimmered and warped, as if reality itself was bending to the will of the simulation.

And there, standing beneath the core, was The Glitch.

It was no longer fragmented. The villain was fully formed—a tall, imposing figure made entirely of crackling, shifting data. Its face was a blank slate, but its eyes glowed a menacing red. The room vibrated with its presence.

“You’ve come far,” The Glitch said, its voice calm but dangerous. “But your journey ends here. This world is mine to control.”

Zeke tightened his grip on the device. “We’re not giving up. We know how to stop you.”

The Glitch chuckled, the sound reverberating throughout the chamber. “You still don’t understand, do you? This simulation is more than just a game. I am reality now. If you destroy me, you risk destroying everything.”

Lila stepped forward, her voice steady. “We won’t let you win. We’ll find a way to fix this, even if it means rewriting the entire code.”

The Glitch raised a hand, and the ground beneath them

began to tremble. Fragments of code rose from the floor, forming monstrous shapes—warped versions of creatures from the simulation, now under The Glitch’s control.

“This is the end of your story,” The Glitch said, as the creatures advanced.

Zeke looked at Lila, determination shining in his eyes. “We’ve made it this far. We can rewrite the ending.”

Together, they charged toward The Glitch, the fate of reality hanging in the balance.

CHARGE

you are to WEAK!

you are to WEAK!

Zeke and Lila sprinted forward, dodging the glitchy creatures that surrounded them. Each step felt like they were moving through quicksand, the simulation warping more violently with every passing second.

"We can't keep fighting like this!" Lila shouted over the din, her code decryptor barely keeping the creatures at bay. "We need to take out The Glitch, or none of this will stop!"

Zeke nodded, scanning the room for anything that could help them get closer to the core. His eyes locked onto the swirling mass of code at the center of the chamber—the core of the simulation. If they could disrupt that, maybe they could sever The Glitch’s control.

"Cover me!" Zeke yelled, making a break for the core.

Lila, understanding his plan, stood her ground and fired the decryptor at every glitch creature that came too close. They flickered and crumbled into pixels, but more kept appearing, summoned by The Glitch's will.

"You can't stop me!" The Glitch's voice boomed through the chamber, dripping with arrogance. "This is my world now. You’re just bugs in the system!"

Zeke reached the base of the core. It was massive, swirling like a black hole of data, sucking in everything around it. He held up the glowing device, now pulsing brighter than ever. The screen showed a single word: Override.

"I hope this works," Zeke muttered, pressing the button.

The moment his finger touched the screen, the device

surged with energy, sending a shockwave through the chamber. The core flickered, and for a moment, everything froze—the glitch creatures, the walls, even The Glitch itself.

"What have you done?!" The Glitch roared, its form rippling with rage.

Zeke staggered back, the force of the shockwave nearly knocking him off his feet. "I think I just hit the pause button on the simulation."

Lila ran to his side, her decryptor still humming. "We need to destroy it now, while it’s vulnerable!"

But as they moved toward the core, The Glitch reformed, its anger palpable. "You think you can destroy me? I am the code! I control this world!" With a wave of its hand, the glitch

creatures began to unfreeze, their movements jerky but accelerating.

Zeke’s heart pounded in his chest. "We can’t just destroy the core. It’s too risky. If we wipe it out completely, reality could collapse with it."

"Then what do we do?" Lila asked, her eyes darting between The Glitch and the core, which was slowly stabilizing again.

Zeke thought back to what The Glitch had said earlier—about being the code itself. "We don't have to destroy it," he said, realization dawning on him. "We can rewrite it."

Lila’s eyes widened. "Of course! If we can change the code, we can take control of the simulation!"

But The Glitch had caught on. It lunged toward them, its
