I always dreamed of being one of the Awakened, one of the heroes that fights back the Insanity on his own terms. They're always pictured driving the newest cars, wearing the latest clothes, using the best gene-mods and implants. They're supposed to be more than just human. At least, that's what I thought until I Awakened. Now my life is a mess of corporate intrigue, shifty politics, cyberzombies and at least one group of revolutionaries whose ideas are sounding better every day. I never wanted to be the punk that brought the system down, but the temptation to just glitch out is growing by the minute. Glitch is a Cyberpunk LitRPG set in a near future where some people are given abilities that allow them to do things that no normal human could ever do. This fiction is written, maintained and owned by Edgar Malboeuf.

~DATE: AUGUST 8TH, 1953~ ~LOCATION: ATOMHENGE, THE RETROFUTURISTIC PARADISE~ Good Morning Aaron, Something unexplainable happened. At the 11 o'clock bell, this weird, synthesized music line was played throughout the city, and apparently the rest of the country as well. Some bumbling morons over here think someone's trying to bomb us. Doubt it, although maybe the Russians are trying some odd new thing in their space travels. Who knows, the future is strange. But... we think we found something. We think we found where it's really coming from, and, well... We think you'd better come in. -James Chase, Supervisor of Atomhenge Space Affairs. "I think it's gonna be a long, long time..."

" We were just as much of an anomaly as those cosmic jellyfish - born from Earth, despite never even seeing such a planet. Floating, endlessly, in waters that weren't our own - not knowing that, despite us once having a home, we could never go back . . . " Two hundred years ago, the planet Earth was deemed unfit to live in. Humanity had ruined the planet beyond repair, their fights amongst each other for resources getting slimmer and slimmer. And so - not knowing what else to do - the lucky few shot for the stars, leaving on massive space stations meant to serve as cities of their own. Vivian Tsi-Ang has grown up on Space Station Yellowbeak her entire life. Orbiting the planet Venus, she, her father, and her sister Lottie have grown familiar with a tightly-knit community. During her childhood, all she had to worry about was the occasional Varmint crawling in - and even then, it was nothing next to what she will soon have to face. When Lottie is whisked away by a mysterious stranger, Vivian knows she has to stop her. Lottie isn't the type to chase after troublemakers, and yet somehow this one caught her eye. Vivian knows her sister well -- she's too much of a goody-two-shoes to just up and leave, and, even more concerningly, this person seems to . . . know something. With the help of a childhood friend and a former bounty hunter, will Vivian be able to save her sister in time? Will she unlock a secret, one that's been lost in time? Or will she fail? A retelling of the classic Bad Boy Meets Good Girl trope, but told from a completely different perspective, Cosmic Jellyfish is a story about sisterhood, unrequited love, and the ups and downs of being a teenager -- set in a bizarre, spacelike universe clinging onto an era that's long-gone. Even hundreds of years after Earth has heaved out its final breath, humanity lives on. How will they survive from here on out? - - - - - Ongoing since January 2022!
