A depraved man meets his end, but death is no absolution. As punishment for his sins, he is reborn not as a man, but as a Hollow—an insignificant, mindless wretch, cursed to scavenge the filth of stronger creatures. Weak. Disposable. Prey. But fate is not so merciful. A malignant force stirs within him, twisting his rebirth into something far worse. It restores his fractured mind and gifts him a system—a cold, calculating mechanism with a singular purpose: to drag him from the depths of worthlessness and forge him into something monstrous. With every corpse devoured and every soul shattered, he claws his way upward. Pain is his teacher, slaughter his scripture. There is no salvation, only the hunt. And at the peak of the endless carnage, where gods and demons dare not tread, he will stand alone. The Hollow shall rise. And the world will drown in the blood if its ascension.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the world drowned in war. How laughable. How detestable. How... utterly pathetic. They keep preaching justice, truth, hatred, vengeance but in the end its all the same. Too blind to grasp their own insignificance. Too arrogant to accept the simple truth.

Now, these wretched fools seek to cleanse their sins under a different banner. "An academy where all are equal." They believe such a farce will make the world forget their arrogance, their crimes. They think peace, when wrapped in a new name, will erase the blood they have spilled. But we have seen the light. We have been enlightened. While they wallow in their delusions, we gaze upon the truth. And in the truth, we shall be saved. —The Tower, Luminous Epoch
