Better Places

When the world ended, Gareth Hargrove wasn’t taken. Everyone else—his wife, his children, his friends—were Integrated. Threaded into a System that swallowed humanity in a single heartbeat. But the code rejected Gareth. Now alone in a glitched, biomechanical wasteland the System calls Nullspace, he’s hunted by broken echoes of the people he loves, haunted by the memory of their last moments, and followed by the only companion the System failed to overwrite: a cat-shaped glitch called Patch. In Place of Echoes is a dark LitRPG/System Apocalypse story blending glitch horror, psychological survival, and emergent system mechanics. It’s about memory, recursion, and what it means to matter in a world that erased you. No chosen ones. No cheat skills. Just a broken man, a broken world, and a System that wants him corrected.

But fate isn’t finished with him yet. When a sudden accident takes his life, Jin-Woo wakes up fourteen years earlier—in his teenage body, right before the most important exams of his youth. At first, the thought of reliving those painful years fills him with dread. Until he realizes he remembers everything—every failure, every opportunity, every secret to success that slipped away the first time. With the future burned into his mind and a fierce determination in his heart, Jin-Woo vows: “This time, I won’t just survive. I’ll rise to the top.” Armed with knowledge, grit, and a second chance, Song Jin-Woo is ready to rewrite his story—and become the legend he was always meant to be.

Kael, the warrior chosen by prophecy, is terrified of fighting. His partner? A talking sword named Tharon, composed entirely of sarcasm and unshakable self-confidence. They have no interest in saving the world. If anything, the world seems hell-bent on killing them first. Absurd quests. A broken guild system. Emotionally unstable crops. What people call “adventuring” is, in reality, a daily struggle to barely survive the nightmare. Bound together by prophecy, a cowardly man and a venom-tongued sword. They clash constantly—but have no choice but to keep walking side by side. And step by step, they unknowingly inch closer to the heart of the world’s unraveling. A man haunted by the past. A sword that gave up on the future. Will their journey become someone’s hope? Or is it just a drawn-out spiral into failure? Either way, they keep messing things up—accidentally saving people’s lives, accidentally ruining someone’s master plan. Life is annoying like that. Tharon says: “You’re useless. But no weapon out there is better than me.” Kael thinks: “Did you really need to say that right now?” Still, they walk on. Begrudgingly. This is the story of a man who couldn’t become a hero, and the sword that gave up believing in them. A tragicomic tale of irony, despair, and just a flicker of hope. The kind that leaves you unsure whether to laugh or cry. “Become a hero? You’ve got the wrong guy. I can barely get out of bed in the morning.”

One carries scars from the past, the other is the reason they exist. In a world where forgotten trees grant impossible wishes and fate is written in living books, they find something neither of them expected: the chance to heal each other. But rewriting fate always comes with a cost. A place of two scenarios: one where they were broken apart, and another where they choose to stand together—even if the world ends around them.
