The Riftbound
The world was forever changed when rifts began to tear through reality, bringing forth monstrous creatures and boundless dangers. Alongside these rifts came mysterious shards that awakened in random people, granting them "Gifts"—powers that defy understanding. With the awakening of these Gifts, humanity gained the ability to enter the rifts, realms filled with deadly trials, unimaginable treasures, and mysteries that reshape those brave enough to return.
Reyn Ashford, a streetfighter from the slums, awakens his Gift during a chaotic confrontation, thrusting him into a dangerous new reality. To grow stronger and master his abilities, Reyn must brave the depths of the rifts, where survival demands courage, ingenuity, and unyielding will. The rifts are unforgiving—they test every shred of strength, skill, and resolve, offering power only to those who endure their dangers.
At Vanguard Academy, young Gifted are trained to venture into the rifts, preparing them to face monsters, rival explorers, and the ever-changing challenges within these mysterious realms. Reyn must navigate this cutthroat environment, risking everything to claim his place among the elite and carve out a destiny that rises above his humble beginnings.
