Riftbound Reclaimer

Synopsis

Sora Mizuno, a burned-out college dropout addicted to VRMMOs, gets one last shot at life when a glitch in his headset pulls him into Valthera, a fractured world of floating isles and warring elemental spirits. Reborn as a Riftbound—a rare soul untethered from Valthera’s magical factions—he wields a mysterious Relic Gauntlet that can absorb and reshape elemental power. With no quest log or respawn, Sora must forge his path alongside Kalia, a storm-dancer seeking her lost clan; Toren, a sarcastic alchemist who’d rather brew than fight; and Vynne, a winged scout with a knack for trouble. As rifts tear Valthera apart, Sora’s gauntlet reveals a darker purpose: it’s linked to an ancient calamity that could unmake the world—or rebuild it. Riftbound Reclaimer is an isekai odyssey of redemption, teamwork, and defying a broken system.
