Aizen Hollow

After a failed mission results in the death of his entire unit and he is granted the Hollow Core System, low-ranking C-Class Chosen, Kael Solis, becomes the suspect of his own murder and embarks on a quest to uncover a conspiracy involving the government and the origins of the Hollow infection, creatures born from the poisonous Hollow Sun.

Ethan Vale was nothing special. A university dropout, a shut-in obsessed with brutal, punishing RPGs, and a man who knew strategy better than he knew real life. But when his screen flickered with an ominous error message and the world around him shattered, he awoke in a land that should not exist—The Hollow Domain, a place where gods have long since died, where eldritch horrors rule, and where kingdoms of the damned crumble beneath an unending curse. He had no weapons. No powers. No divine destiny. But he had intelligence—and the curse of resurrection. Every time he dies, he returns to the same ruined citadel, his body restored but his mind forever scarred. Pain is not a fleeting experience here—it is absolute, relentless, and unforgettable. Every death is a lesson written in agony, each resurrection a cruel reset in an unforgiving world. The creatures here do not simply kill; they break. They torment. They consume. Survival is not guaranteed. Sanity is optional. But Ethan is determined to carve a path through the madness, to outthink the horrors that lurk in the shadows, and to uncover the truth behind the Hollow Domain. Because something is watching him. Something is waiting. And it wants him to suffer.

the Red Door, a metaphorical door that represents the subconscious mind, specifically the deepest, darkest fears and desires of an individual. It also the gateway to the Red Room," a physical space where individuals are trapped and forced to confront their darkest fears. When someone is under the influence of the "Red Door" spell, they're forced to confront their deepest fears and anxieties, which can lead to a breakdown of their mental state or their awakening of their lucid. Those who loose their minds are turned into fractured hollows or a source of any escalated trauma. Then those who survive the door, becomes dream walkers, lucid humans with powers related to dreams.

In the decaying heart of the Aureline Dominion, Karl Redhouse is no longer a forgotten background figure—he is the reluctant hero cursed with Return by Death. Each time death claims him, he is reborn at a predetermined “save point,” trapped in an endless cycle of loss and renewal. For centuries, this cruel fate has forced him to witness countless lives, battles, and betrayals, each rebirth etching deeper scars on his soul. But as the ruins of his crumbling world echo with the secrets of the past, Karl begins to suspect that his curse might also hold the key to his liberation. Driven by a desperate need to break the cycle, Karl embarks on a perilous journey through the forgotten districts of the Dominion. Guided by an ancient tome and the cryptic prophecy of an event known as the Eclipse of the Eternal, he delves into ruined temples and secret sanctuaries where the ancient magics of Curse and Spirit intermingle. With each step, he confronts the duality of his nature—balancing the destructive power of his Curse magic with the transcendent force of Spirit magic—in hopes of unearthing a way to rewrite his destiny. Parallel to Karl’s grim odyssey in the physical realm unfolds the vibrant digital saga of Wraithbound Chronicles. In this immersive virtual world, legendary heroes like Darian Blackwood and Lucien Ashford enact their mythic destinies, celebrated by multitudes and woven into the fabric of popular lore. While their dazzling exploits captivate the realm’s imagination, Karl’s personal struggle remains shrouded in solitude and suffering—a dark counterpoint to the heroic narratives of the game. Haunted by the echoes of countless past lives and driven by a spark of rebellious hope, Karl sets out to confront the hidden forces that control fate itself. Amid conspiracies orchestrated by secret organizations like the Inverted Sky and the looming threat of an encroaching Mirror Dimension, he must unravel the ancient mysteries of the Dominion. Only by embracing both the light and darkness within him can he hope to shatter the bonds of his cursed immortality and claim a future of his own making. In a world where death is a beginning and every resurrection is a chance to change the course of destiny, Karl Redhouse’s journey is a desperate, solitary battle against time itself—a quest to reclaim life from the clutches of eternal recurrence and to forge a destiny free from the shackles of the past.

His journey begins with a perilous mission to uncover the secrets of a long-abandoned city, one tainted by rumors of curses and ancient powers. The Ashweld Hollow—a place shrouded in death, lost memories, and dark forces—beckons as the first trial. Joined by a group of diverse companions, including the icy and elusive Maria, the battle-hardened Kael, and the witty Jax, Adrian must navigate both human treachery and supernatural horrors. Each step they take brings them closer to uncovering the truth, but not without sacrifice. As they journey deeper into the cursed city, Adrian finds himself questioning everything—his purpose, his companions, and even the shadows that seem to follow him. Every move is fraught with peril, and every answer raises more questions. But the Hollow holds more than just ghosts. Beneath its crumbling streets lies a power capable of reshaping the world itself. Adrian’s resolve is tested, and his past—hidden in the darkest corners of his mind—will come to the surface, threatening to destroy him from within. In a world where trust is scarce, and betrayal is always a breath away, Adrian must face the darkness—both external and internal—if he hopes to survive the Hollow’s embrace.

Living a normal life is boring, but I was happy with what I had. Even when I spent most of my life in regret and misery, I lived because I had someone that I loved dearly. And that said someone took my life... But fate had different plans for me... As if death wasn't enough for me. As if the gods were mocking me. I got reincarnated into a hardcore romance game that I used to play. That too when the prequel game that I played the most ended twenty-five years ago. A game where death is everyone's mistress. A game that people either liked or hated too much. Now reincarnated into the body of the Villainess's son. I became someone that I hated the most... "Hahaha..." I laughed at my own misery. As if that too wasn't enough, I also became the slave of someone else's desires. Now, one might say a mother is a mother even if the world sees her as a Villainess. But what if your mother is the very incarnation of evil? That your mother is the hurdle that you have to overcome? What if your mother is the very reason you might die? Gentleness and love are the last things one could expect from her. "Hahaha..." Again, a hollow laugh escaped my lips as the realization dawned on me. That I have been... Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son... =============================== [Discord link:- https://discord.gg/5Vgw4JCrBW]

I woke up in a dark dungeon, my body screaming in agony, reeking of death. The air was thick with decay, each breath clawing at my throat. My mind was blank, a hollow void. "Who am I?" I whispered, but no answer came. Stumbling into the world beyond, I was greeted by thick fog and cold silence. The ground was littered with gutted bodies and shattered swords—fragments of lives lost to battles I couldn’t begin to understand. The monsters I’d killed to get here felt like a prelude to something worse. I couldn’t stop wondering about the stories behind the broken swords, the fallen warriors. Maybe my own story lay hidden among them. They say curiosity killed the cat. I can only hope my curiosity ends up killing me too.

Check out my other novels too, guys!!! Author's note: Uploading it once more, but as nobody has read it, it won't matter right? I have nothing more to say, whether you are new here or have come from my other novel, I really appreciate it if you at least try it once, I am not an expert yet, so it might not be up to your standards, but I will just say one thing... This kind of story, you won't find anything like this anywhere. So be a part of it when it's in its beginning phase. I may sound narcissistic but that's the truth. And if you are reading till now, then do read the synopsis. This will be the only time I will be showing the POV of the main character. You can think of it as a chapter that will never be uploaded. Topic: The end of everything, the beginning of an end. *** On a night, an eerily feeling lingered in the surroundings. The night sky filled with thunderous lighting, screaming as if sensing an inevitable doom. At the center of different carcasses of the monsters that attacked our planet, I was holding a piece of cloth, that belonged to a woman who disappeared right in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything. "Please bring her back... I beg you..." Looking at the sky, I begged it. A figure emerged in the sky, a figure which only I have been able to see. "You can ask for anything, I will even give up my life... Just bring her back..." I begged again, kneeling in front of him, I slammed my head on the ground, but he didn't say anything. "Please... help me... I know you can do this... please..." I kept on begging and screaming, but he didn't do anything just moving his hands. No look of remorse was in his eyes, no feeling for us. All of the lifeforms were just a plaything for him, just a means of his enjoyment. Even after knowing all this, I couldn't do anything, "She is everything to me... I will die in her stead... I beg you... bring her back... please..." No matter what I did, nothing happened. It was at this moment I realized, to him we are nothing more than a means of enjoyment. The more sad and despair we felt the more he enjoys. The more we break, the more fun it is for him. I couldn't control my anger at that moment, I was furious, furious at my puny strength, my helplessness, and his cruelty. "I will kill you..." It was then I decided... "I will end your everything..." To end all... "I will make you feel the same thing that I have been through..." To make him feel the same burden... "I will erase your existence from this world..." To free this world... "I will make you regret ever laying your eyes on this world... I will make sure of that..." But nothing went as planned, suddenly out of nowhere, I felt my body hollowing out and I fell on the ground without being able to move at all... But the flames of revenge still lingered in my eyes... *** Discord link: https://discord.com/invite/GK4TB2fw

Ten years ago, the world was captivated by a groundbreaking VR MMORPG, a fully immersive experience that allowed players to step into the shoes of legendary heroes in a realm of magic and wonder. For a decade, they built their lives, forged their identities, and left their marks on what they thought was just a game. But when the servers shut down, the truth shattered everything. The game world wasn’t just a virtual reality, it was a fabricated timeline, a fragile imitation of the true Magic world . And now, the countdown has begun. The players, ripped from their lives on Earth and the simulation, find themselves in the Magic World, ten years younger but burdened with all the memories of the game and their old lives. Their in-game personas, once vibrant and driven by purpose, are now hollow shells, unable to act on their own. Even worse, Earth’s timeline fragile and unprotected has been paused, and its collapse is inevitable. To prevent disaster, the 10 Originals, the most renowned players of the game, must rise once more. But this time, there are no systems to guide them, no respawns, and no safety nets. The high realm is real, its dangers far deadlier than any raid boss. And as the countdown ticks away, inconsistencies between the worlds begin to unravel reality itself. Thrown into a world they don’t fully understand, hunted by their own past mistakes, and racing against time to stop the collapse of Earth’s timeline, the Originals must uncover the secrets of the game’s creation and find a way to stabilize the Magic World. The clock is ticking, and the fate of three worlds rests on their shoulders. Will the Originals be able to fix the chaos they caused, or will everything they fought for crumble into nothingness?

A lonely path, so endless, so wide, Madness reigns on every side. A mist that shrouds all faith and light, Its claws now stretch through the endless night. Oblivion calls, its voice a cry, The dark whisper of a god, a fading lie. The horror draws near, the shadows grow tall, And silence spreads where none dare to call. Oblivion calls, it takes its hold, The mist dissolves, and all grows cold. Follow a path born of hate and revenge,but what remains when vengeance ends? A hollow void, no peace to claim, yet Azrael escapes this fate through a mystery's flame. Could it be their deaths hide another goal? Unveil the truth and seek the soul. Here are a few notes about my story: First, English is not my native language, so I have to rely on translators. Second, what you can expect from my story: The most important thing is probably the slow start. The first volume focuses on the development of my characters—why they act the way they do later and what their motivations are. There will be much more fighting in the later parts. Additionally, the MC is more of a loner. The reasons for this will become clear in the first volume. Third, what you shouldn’t expect: An overpowered MC. The MC is definitely strong, but not invincible. Also, don’t expect the MC to do everything on their own. There are other characters who are very important as well. Books that have particularly inspired me: Lord of the Mysteries, Shadow Slave.

Perla had always felt a longing for adventure, stifled by the rules of her strict upbringing and surrounded by her older brothers free to do as they wanted. She longed to carve her own path, to seek out excitement and perhaps even a little romance along the way. One day, while escaping yet another tedious piano class, she stumbled into the hollow of a massive tree. At its base, a mesmerizing green light beckoned her, and before she knew it, she was transported to a bizarre forest teeming with colossal, long-extinct creatures and menacing carnivorous plants. This was the realm of Beastkin, where men could transform into mighty beasts. Here, the constant threat of war had led to a peculiar imbalance, with most females giving birth to male Beastkin, resulting in a dire shortage of women. The land was a battleground, filled with mercenaries and adventurers seeking glory. While the males formed companies to embark on quests, their females stayed behind, living a life of comfort. But not Perla—she was determined to break free from the mold, to grow stronger, and to join her new love interests on exhilarating escapades.
