Zephyr emerged from the Trans-Realm Rift with sparks flickering across his armor. His Reality Anchor Golem landed behind him like a meteor, stabilizing the fragmented landscape of the Origin Protocol Shard Alpha.
The environment was raw—data trees shimmered in unrendered forests, time-looping rivers rewound every twenty seconds, and distant structures jittered in and out of existence. A corrupted divine plane barely clinging to coherence.

"Perfect," Zephyr grinned. "Let's go shopping."
He swiped his fingers, and the familiar System Mall Interface unfurled like a crystalline tapestry in front of him.

Zephyr whistled. "That's a guaranteed faction invasion or expansion gateway. Worth it."
He bought it.

The artifact appeared in his inventory—a fractal sphere pulsing with unstable codes. But the Mall wasn't done.

[Passive: Every attack generates a random low-tier item drop.]
The creature materialized: a serpentine construct made of segmented data coils, its heads phasing in and out of alignment. Each bite left behind broken weapons and minor artifacts.
"That's going to farm like crazy."
Xuan Wu approached from the rear, watching the floating holographic interface.
"You really trust these… unstable purchases?"
Zephyr tapped the 'Structures' tab next.

He selected the Divine Market Pavilion and dropped it instantly into the glitched landscape. The space cracked, and a floating jade platform appeared, swarming with golden runes and stalls guarded by AI avatars wearing old emperor masks.

As the corrupted realm stabilized around his new additions, Zephyr checked the time.
Two minutes left on the glitch sale.
"Let's break the system a little more."
He hit the 'Override Preview' and smirked.
