Hello viewers I the author of this creation, I am new to writing. so plz don't mind the mistakes and support me hole heartfelt review's thank you

In the festering underbelly of Ironhaven, where the air itself is poison and shadows whisper of dead gods, a gutter rat named Kael commits a sin that changes everything: he steals a Shard. Not just a crystal—a sliver of a murdered deity, pulsing with venomous power that adapts. It grants him gifts but demands a price. Every five months, the Shard screams his location to the wastes, and the hunt begins. Now, marked by the Inquisition’s fire and hunted by phantoms of his past, Kael walks a razor’s edge. His allies are few: a woman with hollow eyes who's ambition and goal is unmatched, and a hound resurrected by his own tainted hands, her claws dripping soul-deep poison. But the Shard is no mere tool. It hungers. And as Kael’s alchemy of venom carves a path through enemies and allies alike, the line between savior and scourge blurs.

In a world where assassins and bounty hunters thrive under the shadows of global corruption, Asahi Kuragari was nothing more than a timid errand boy for the infamous S-Rank Squad No.5. But everything changed the day he was betrayed—left to die during a covert mission beneath the ruins of an ancient Genesis Core facility. When the cores detonated, they didn’t kill him. They transformed him. Now reborn as Hollow Fang, a ruthless specter clad in black flame and vengeance, Asahi walks the path of retribution. With powers that defy the natural order and a resolve carved in blood, he sets out to dismantle the twisted underworld that cast him aside—one corpse at a time.

**Warning: This isn’t your typical cultivation story. If you're looking for a formulaic journey of power, turn back. This is for those who want their cultivation with teeth, grief, and gods that scream.** The Red Moon looms, its light bleeding across the ruins of a dead world. No voices remain, no echoes of the past, only the wind whispering through hollowed stone. Yet one figure still moves, tracing unseen steps beneath the crimson glow. The boy does not know how long he has wandered, nor why he alone remains. He remembers hunger, the weight of a knife at his hip, and the distant pull of something just beyond memory, a path he must walk, a dance he must complete. But the steps evade him, like a melody half-forgotten. There are things lurking in the dark, creatures that should not exist, bound to the moon's eerie cycle. Somewhere, beneath the veil of time, the truth is buried. Somewhere, within the forgotten rhythm of his own steps, the answer awaits. And when the dance begins again, it will either set him free or consume him entirely.

In Kyto, there's an ancient king, the Hollow King that controls everyone like a puppet. Everyone except Lira. Lira, being a street rat, isn't affected by the Hollow Kings control. Now, based on a prophecy, Lira is forced to join a rebellion to stop the Hollow King, and free the people of Kyto.

An ocean of energy, that is the universe. The source matter comes from, the foundation of everything, and there is a prerequisite to touch it. Lucas was a soldier who almost met an unfortunate end. Fortunately, that was his chance at touching the extraordinary. But as we all know, everything has a price, and this one demands immediate payment before it can be enjoyed. On this journey, what will Lucas find? What will he lose? Will his character stay the same, introverted, indifferent and unmotivated? Will his heart stay hollow or will it be filled? And by filling it, is he opening the way for tragedies? After all, caring means risking pain when losing. In the end, were Humans' Limits for their own good? ______________ Money ? Fame ? Good but transient. The best investment would always be in oneself. We came to this world with only a soul and a body molded from energy. Unfortunately, like everything in the world, we were born shackled. I got lucky enough to see the path so I shall seek intrinsic elevation and transcend human limits. _______&_______ A soldier almost dying in the desert Needing to run from death after coming back to life Forced to jump into a pit after throwing death off his ass .

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]

Asher had always dreamed of adventure. A simple farm boy with a bright smile and a sickle in hand, he set off to join the Adventurer’s Guild, believing his new life would be filled with excitement, camaraderie, and maybe a little glory. He had no grand ambitions—just a thirst for something more than crops and cattle. But the world had other plans. His first dungeon dive should have been easy—an entry-level quest to clear out some weak monsters. But when he meets a lost, whimpering goblin child, his kindness costs him everything. Tricked and betrayed, Asher is ripped apart, his screams swallowed by the darkness of the labyrinth. His adventure should have ended there. But it didn’t. Refusing to die—refusing to be forgotten—his soul clung to what little remained. His flesh was devoured. His blood seeped into the earth. Only his bones remained. And so, Asher rose again. A mind once filled with dreams now wrestles with the instincts of the undead. A body once strong and warm is now nothing but bone. He should be mindless, hollow—but something wrong lingers inside him, something still alive. Stronger. Faster. Hungrier. What started as an innocent adventure has turned into a brutal fight for survival. To evolve, he must kill. To grow stronger, he must devour. And as he climbs from the depths of the dungeon that consumed him, one question burns in his hollow chest: "If I was meant to die… then why am I still here?"

Detective Ian Wren thought he had escaped the ghosts of his past, but the murder of Eleanor Montgomery pulls him into a web of deceit that threatens to unravel Hollow’s Edge. Eleanor was more than a philanthropist—she was the keystone of the town’s power dynamics. Her death exposes dark secrets tied to the elusive Crimson Hour Society, a shadowy group with ties to corruption and betrayal. As Ian investigates, he uncovers layers of lies, each piece revealing deeper connections between Hollow’s Edge’s elite and Eleanor’s tragic demise. But the closer Ian gets to the truth, the more dangerous the game becomes. With each passing hour, Ian faces threats, red herrings, and the ghosts of his unsolved case—forcing him to confront his own failure and unravel the darkness hiding in plain sight. In a town where trust is fleeting and redemption comes at a price, Ian must uncover the truth before the Crimson Hour strikes again.

In the beginning, God created whole world with emptiness and the hollowness. And God despised itself more than anything else. Desperate to love and loved the world, God said “Let there be light”, and there was Light. And the Light was everything, God was not, and the God was everything, the Light was not, and the Light despised the God as much as it once despised itself. Atomic Delta is the main character that simply were more horrible. She is known to have existed even before the God, and its power was immense.

For centuries, Earth has been trapped in an unending war, not against itself, but against ten other races, each fighting for dominance. The world isn't what it once was... The skies burn with battle, the land is drenched in blood, and the very fabric of reality is beginning to tear. But something far worse lurks beyond the battlefield. Beyond existence itself lies Velmoria, the Alternate Universe, a realm of forbidden magic, eldritch horrors, and cosmic aberrations that should have never touched this world. No one knows where it came from. No one knows how to stop it. But its influence is spreading. It doesn’t fight for land, power, or survival. It fights for control over reality itself. To resist extinction, humanity forged the Sentinel Order, an elite force trained to battle both the warring species and the encroaching nightmares of Velmoria. Every teenager is forced into the Academy, a brutal proving ground where only the strongest earn the right to fight for the future. He was never meant to be chosen. A boy with no name, no bloodline, no power. A discarded outcast, beaten, hated, and left to rot. His family laughed when his name appeared. His enemies sharpened their blades. And the world? It had already written him off. But when he awakens... the war will change forever.

Luo Huian was the most beautiful, strong and narcissistic——- Cut! Cut! Cut! Take two, and do it over. Luo Huian was the most beautiful, strong and wisest immortal in the realm of peace and harmony. Her two fathers doted on her, and she had a generous supply of resources and pills. Her life was perfect. However, her perfect life came to an abrupt end when Luo Huian, an immortal whose responsibility was to bring peace to those who had reached their ends and had run out of faith—— Watched a man jump down a building. Because of her inflexible beliefs and sense of justice, she did not save the bully. Unfortunately, that man was the son of the heavens. The loss of his life brought infinite trouble in Luo Huian’s life and she was punished by the heavens. She was sent to the world of humans where she had to rescue at least five hundred people by saving their lives when they were at the end of their wits. For an immortal this was an easy job, right? Wrong. Her grandmother sent Luo Huian to a world where Gloom Rocks had wrecked chaos. Beasts and monsters were given birth to by the Gloom Rocks that sucked every ounce of happiness from humans. This world was dominated by hunters who could kill the beasts with the powers that they had awakened. And in this cutthroat world, Luo Huian got the short end of the stick. She woke up in the body of an F-class hunter! Dang it. If that wasn’t worse enough, the previous owner had confessed to her cousin-in-law and was kicked out of the family. Double frog in the hot crock. With not a single penny in her pocket Luo Huian goes out to complete her mission. But what would happen when Luo Huian who was an F-class hunter annihilated the Z-class Glooms and Hollows that even the S-class hunters could not? Watch her fend against the dangers and at the same time save the lives of people. But in this small mission, there is a small obstruction —— The three alluring temptations. *********** Resisting the temptation take 1: “MMPH,” Luo Huian pushed against the mer who had pushed her down on the bed while sitting on her waist. “Get off.” “I can’t,” answered Qi Yongrui as he took off his shirt. “Daddy Shun said that he is envious of Uncle Wang. He also wants to hold a grandchild. So, wife let's work hard tonight alright?” Luo Huian: Dear Heavens save me, I am a woman of no desire! **** Resisting the temptation take 2: “Do you think he is good looking?” Fan Meilin questioned the woman who stood next to him. Even though he was the one who won the race and the trophy, his wife was looking at the other mer. “Well yes,” Luo Huian, who was an appreciator of beauty, agreed at once. “Why are you asking this though?” Fan Meilin’s eyes flashed as he smiled at her and leaned in closer to her body as he whispered in her ear, “He might be good looking but I am a better driver. Not only on the track but also in bed, do you want to try darling?” Luo Huian: Resist the temptation! At all costs! I am an iron-hearted woman. ***** Resisting the temptation take 3: “Is this necessary?” Luo Huian questioned as she sat on the couch, watching the mer trace his fingers on her curves while she sat in nothing but modern swimwear. The mer nodded as he wrote on his small notepad, “I need to trace every inch of your skin to create my finest creation, so don’t move.” After he finished writing, he handed the notepad to Luo Huian, his fingers brushing against the curve of her bosom, waist and ——— Luo Huian: My virtue is at extreme risk! ** Fl who is trying to do everything to save her virtue from being taken as it would slow down her cultivation X Mls who are trying their best to snatch it from her. *********** Trigger warning: though the book is set in a comedic setting, there might be some uneasy topics that would discuss depression and loneliness. ***********

The well-off little salted fish transmigrated to a poor era, where her grandparents valued boys over girls, leading to a miserable life for their granddaughters. Fortunately, her dad, though lazy, slippery, and illogical, shamelessly relying on his parents and taking advantage of his siblings, was protective of his daughters. Her drama queen mother, who was lazy but liked to eat, often tried to coax food off of her, yet she always left a portion for her. There was also the Scholar Tyrant System that pressured her every day to strive for progress, capable of using high-tech to hunt and allowing her to eat meat!! It wasn't until her cousin from her second uncle's family changed drastically after nearly drowning that Jiang Mianmian realized she was in a reborn female protagonist novel of that era, and her family of three was destined to meet a tragic end as reprehensible relatives. However, Jiang Mianmian, who knew the plot well, was fully capable of avoiding the tragic deaths of her parents and was not afraid of the seemingly strong but actually hollow protagonist. Her only worry was the powerful ally backing the protagonist. Then she discovered that the protagonist’s powerful ally was none other than the beautiful young man her father had rescued from the icy river last month! So Jiang Mianmian was completely reassured. With this life-saving favor, the young man would definitely not side with the protagonist against her family in the future. Moreover, Dashan took the initiative and said, "Little Lamb, I’d like to court you with the intent of getting a marriage license, is that okay?" As someone obsessed with good looks, Jiang Mianmian struggled and then reluctantly refused, “No, I plan to have a son-in-law who will marry into the family.” The powerful ally didn’t hesitate, “Then I’ll be the son-in-law who marries into the family, and the children will take the Jiang surname!” Jiang Mianmian: “Let’s go, get the marriage license!” (Updated and posted at 10:10 AM on the 16th of this month)

No one ever thought that the population of people known as "ESPER" could increase. Unfortunately, some metaphysical activities resulting from a work accident have also become a global problem.

A regular student who is just an ordinary youth. What is love? What is the past? How do we live? Why are we afraid of death? Where is our position in this wheel of life? How worthy are we to be called...human? "The Endless Hollow"

Ronan was born an outcast, shunned by his village for the curse of his heterochromatic eyes—one silver, one crimson. Raised in the mist-shrouded village of Black Hollow, he lived in the shadow of superstition, marked as a harbinger of doom.

With each mythical beast he tames, he steps further into a world of war, ancient prophecies, and a destiny that threatens to consume him. As he uncovers the dark origins of Beastbinding, Ronan must decide: will he control the beasts, or will they control him? A dark, epic tale of survival, power, and sacrifice, The Forsaken Beastbinder is a journey into a world where the line between man and monster begins to blur.

"Reincarnation? Rebirth? Regression?" A hollow laugh slipped past my lips. "What bullshit." Reincarnated on earth after his first death. Reborn again only to lose everything he died once again. Julian desired freedom, unable to resist the terror of the seven devils trying to dominate the world. Julian regressed a week before the special Full-World Virtual MMORPG game, Avalon's Fall, was released and changed the fate of humankind. Julian was given another chance to live. The new VR UNIT gave players a more realistic experience. Inside the game, the players could touch, taste and smell things like the real world. Although the creator remained a mystery, Julian knew its true purpose: to evolve, improve, and prepare humankind for war against an insidious foe. Seven Devils would soon descend on Earth, causing the game world and reality to merge, and the first devil would appear in less than a month after his regression. 'Humanity cannot last longer than a decade, more than 90% will die in a year.' Julian's heart pounded like a hammer—two failed lives under his belt. Now he would face the same Devil who stole everything he ever loved or cared about with a single swing of its gigantic sword. But this time would be different... Somehow, after being blessed by the goddess Solaria, he gained a unique class and evolutionary path that differed from what he knew. He somehow entered the game world, after the devils destroyed it. A realm of nightmare where death was almost certain! [◊ Welcome to Avalon—After the Fall! ◊] [◊ Class Gained: Shadow Mancer (SSSR) ◊] [◊ To the heir of shadows who returned to this fallen kingdom ◊] [◊ Raise your fallen kin and take back your world! ◊] 'What?' No longer the same class or type of evolved he became a mage-type, summoning the souls of the dead to create shadow minions. Despite his confusion, Julian focused on the future... he wouldn't let Sena die, or lose everything like the past and thus he set forth, aiming to kill the first Devil. Little did he know that his title carried a significant meaning and one day, he would stand above those who ruined his past, and define their fates.

Evelyn Mercer never planned to return to Black Hollow, the eerie town she left behind after her mother’s tragic death. But when whispers start calling her name—soft, insistent voices that invade her dreams and waking hours—she has no choice but to go back. From the moment she arrives, the town feels wrong. The streets are too empty, the people too watchful, and the past lingers like a shadow that refuses to fade. As she checks into the decrepit Black Hollow Inn, the whispers grow stronger. They murmur in the dark, calling her by name, warning her to leave. But something roots her in place—something she can’t explain. When she discovers that her mother is listed among the town’s many missing persons—despite the official story of her death—Evelyn realizes that Black Hollow is hiding secrets far darker than she ever imagined. People have been vanishing for decades, taken by something unseen, something that whispers in the night. As Evelyn digs deeper, she finds herself entangled in a mystery that defies reason. The whispers are not just voices—they are entities, bound to the town, watching, waiting. And they have chosen her. With time running out and the boundary between the living and the lost growing thin, Evelyn must uncover the truth before she, too, becomes nothing more than another name whispered in the dark.

Hello, and welcome to my first novel! This is my first attempt at writing a long-term story, so I expect that there may be some mistakes along the way. However, I am dedicated to improving, and I would be incredibly grateful for any feedback you have to offer. Your support means a great deal to me, and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read my work. This novel is an expansive adventure that explores countless realms and worlds, spanning across fantasy, medieval, modern, and many more settings. The universe within this story is vast—far beyond the scale of ordinary worlds. To give you a sense of its immensity, the world in this novel is nine times the size of an entire galaxy. The Three Great Layers of Existence The world is divided into three major layers, each unique in its nature, inhabitants, and power structure: The Lower Layer – The Realm of Demons This layer is home to demons, monsters, and dark entities that thrive in chaos. It is a realm of endless conflict and war, where only the strong survive. Spanning an area nine times larger than a universe, this is a place where terrifying beings plot, empires rise and fall, and legendary figures carve their names into history through blood and fire. The Middle Layer – The Mortal Realm The Middle Layer is a vast world nine times the size of a galaxy, where humans, elves, dwarves, and countless other races live. It is a realm of kingdoms, empires, magic, and technology, where countless heroes and villains shape the fate of civilizations. Some regions are steeped in medieval fantasy, while others have developed into modern societies. It is a realm of balance, where both divine and demonic influences clash in unseen battles. The Upper Layer – The Realm of the Gods The highest plane of existence, this realm is where only gods reside. It is a divine domain filled with celestial cities, sacred lands, and entities that possess power beyond comprehension. Like the Lower Layer, it is nine times the size of a universe, but unlike the chaotic underworld, this realm is shaped by cosmic order. However, even among the gods, conflicts and power struggles exist, as the fate of the entire multiverse often lies in their hands. A Universe of Interconnected Stories This novel is not just a single story—it is the foundation of an entire interconnected universe. It serves as the origin and the core of many other novels that branch off from it. Some of the stories that are connected to this grand narrative include: Knight's Pride – A tale of chivalry, honor, and betrayal in a medieval world where knights wield divine power. Hollowed – A dark and mysterious story about a forgotten hero who walks between life and death. Influence of the Dark God – A story of corruption, ambition, and the rise of an entity that seeks to reshape the cosmos. While these stories are deeply connected to the main novel, this novel is the true beginning—the origin of all things. It holds the secrets that link all the realms together and will serve as the key to understanding the vast multiverse. The foundation of the world, its history, and its vast scope will be introduced in the early chapters. However, the true beginning of the main story will start around chapters 12 to 13. These initial chapters will be dedicated to world-building, introducing key figures, and setting the stage for the grand journey that awaits. Final Thoughts Thank you for taking the time to read this introduction. If you have any suggestions, ideas, or feedback, I would love to hear them! I am committed to improving my writing and making this story as engaging and immersive as possible. I hope you will join me on this journey through a universe filled with adventure, mystery, and endless possibilities!

The Rift Sigil brands his soul, granting him power… but at a terrible cost. With his humanity slowly eroding and whispers of an ancient force clawing at his mind, Kael must navigate a world ruled by factions, hidden horrors, and those who seek to control the unknown. Every step forward draws him deeper into the darkness, where monsters wear human faces and the only law is power. To survive, Kael must outthink, outfight, and outmaneuver those who stand in his way. The Rift offers him strength, but how long before it consumes him completely? When gods and monsters play their games, the only way to win… is to become something greater. Or something far worse

In the flickering heart of Veyris, a city bound by ancient lanterns and shadowed secrets, Lira Velren is a thief with nothing to lose until one fateful heist changes everything. When she shatters a relic and awakens the Emberweavers, mythical beings of flame and fury, a mysterious mark sears her flesh, and the lanterns blaze with a power long dormant. Now, hunted by voices from a forgotten pact and pursued by a city teetering on the edge of chaos, Lira must unravel the truth with her fearless ally, Kael, at her side. Their path leads to the Hollow Spire, a forsaken ruin whispering of plague and peril, where the past demands reckoning. As fire threatens to consume all she knows, Lira faces an impossible choice: flee the inferno or claim its power as her own. In this breathtaking tale of survival, courage, and destiny, every spark could light the way or burn Veyris to ash.

Hace diez años, la banda más famosa de la escuela, The Hollow Chords, desapareció de la escena sin dejar rastro. Nadie sabe exactamente qué pasó, pero las teorías van desde traiciones y peleas hasta secretos oscuros que la banda nunca quiso revelar. Para la mayoría, solo es una vieja historia de la escuela, un rumor que quedó enterrado con el tiempo... pero no para Izan, Niko y Hana, tres adolescentes del Club de Fotografía. Oficialmente, se dedican a cubrir eventos y noticias escolares, pero en realidad solo lo hacen por el chisme y los rumores que circulan por los pasillos. Cuando una pista inesperada sobre The Hollow Chords aparece en medio del último día de clases, lo que comenzó como una simple curiosidad se convierte en una investigación de verano. Entre archivos olvidados, entrevistas con exalumnos y extrañas advertencias de quienes parecen querer enterrar la verdad, los tres descubrirán que lo que pasó hace una década fue más que una simple separación. Con cada pieza que encajan, se acercan más a un misterio que alguien quiere mantener oculto. Pero si van a descubrir la verdad, tendrán que estar preparados para lo que The Hollow Chords dejó atrás.
