One Glitch From Disaster — a LitRPG Isekai Adventure

Did you try turning your System off and on again? Ember is burning. The System isn’t just powerless to stop it, it’s holding the matches. With each new System glitch, the world descends further into chaos, and the most recent failure is dragging Earth into the fray. Enter Rayna: an introverted bookworm who doesn’t even like video games. But when her only friend is kidnapped, Rayna follows her to Ember without a second thought. Now she is in way over her head, desperate to save her friend and willing to do anything she needs to in order to get both of them back home alive. If she can save the other ten million isekaied humans in the process, that’s just a bonus.  Navigating deadly challenges, an unexpected race change, and System glitches that feel way too personal, Rayna will do whatever it takes to get her and her friend back to Earth in one piece. What to expect: - Glitchy System - Non-Human MC - Chaos Gremlin MC - Large Cast, Multi-POV - Humans are Space Orcs Note: This is a heavily-edited rerelease of the fiction "The Stubborn Light of a Dying Flame". The first fifteen chapters or so remain largely the same, but things start to diverge starting from the time when Lord and Lady Emery enter the story.
