Loving the Glitch

Nyx’s blade is at Vera Mitchell’s throat when the world shatters—and she wakes in the starter graveyard, ten minutes of her life erased. The final boss remembers killing her. Vera doesn’t. Trapped inside a collapsing game, the cynical tester turns every glitch into a weapon and every death into another escape attempt. But Nyx was coded to destroy her—not to watch her, protect her, and fall harder every time Vera respawns. The only exit key is hidden inside Nyx’s core, and every reset deletes another memory from Vera’s real life. To escape, Vera must steal the key from the woman who remembers every death—but if Nyx is the only one who can keep her from disappearing, will Vera choose freedom… or stay and become hers?
