Ethan Drake thought he had left his past behind—years spent as a shadowy figure on battlefields across the globe, dismantling the tyrants and warlords who thrived in chaos. But when the System arrives on Earth, bringing magic, monsters, and unrelenting danger, his world is thrown into chaos once again. The Universal Nexus System declares Earth the final piece in a dimensional merging with two other realms, the Wyrmrealm and Aetheris. As the worlds collide, the very fabric of reality shifts—technology fails, mana flows freely, and mythical creatures emerge to carve out their own domains. Civilization teeters on the brink of collapse as waves of increasingly dangerous monsters ravage the land, preparing humanity for a future where only the strongest, smartest, and most united will survive. Thrown back into the fractured remains of his hometown, Ethan must lead his estranged family and a growing band of survivors through the new, unforgiving world. Each person is assigned a class and abilities by the mysterious System, shaping their roles in this brutal, evolving landscape. As they battle to survive, they must also grapple with the System’s cryptic purpose: to stabilize the new world and guide its inhabitants toward dominance—or destruction. With the clock ticking down to the complete merging of worlds, Ethan takes charge, using his combat-honed skills and his unique class—Riftbound Adept—to protect those who can’t protect themselves. Together, they’ll build a sanctuary against the chaos, forging alliances, uncovering secrets, and standing against enemies both monstrous and human. But Ethan’s past refuses to stay buried, and the challenges of leadership force him to confront old wounds, lingering doubts, and the burden of responsibility. Can one man, even one called “The Untamed Rift,” truly lead humanity into a new age—or will the merging of worlds tear everything apart? Riftborn: A World Reforged is a gripping tale of survival, leadership, and transformation—a post-apocalyptic, LitRPG-inspired adventure where every choice reshapes the future and every battle determines the fate of a newly forged world.
