Rifts

One who steps into the Rift does not die; he is 'downloaded' into another coordinate system—a space running by another set of rules.

The moment the system first surfaced the word 'Rift.' Location S-17-R, time: the small hours of New Year's Day, Kaiyuan Year 1010.

Not a gash torn open in the sky, but a place that 'should be there, yet isn't.' Official designation: the Rift.
