Sleepy Hollow Crane

Everyone in the kingdom of Velmora is born with a Soulmark, a glowing Sigil on their skin that determines their abilities and future. Warriors, Sorcerers, each person's fate is sealed the moment their Soulmark appears. Except for Solene. She was born with a blank soulmark, no power, no future nothing. Branded as a 'Hollow' she is cast aside, seen as worthless for years. She struggles just to survive, moving from town to town, enduring rejection, hardship and betrayal. But when she is captured and thrown into the brutal gladiator pit, something awakens her. A fire she never knew existed. Solene's power doesn't just manifest, it erupts. Unlike others, she doesn't have the usual ability. She can borrow and evolve any power she encounters. But there's a problem. She must endure the same pain the original wielder faced when their ability first awakened.

In a world where noble families wield power through an Arcana Deck that ranks human potential, Kael Exoria—the last heir of an erased bloodline—discovers his "Hollow" status hides a terrifying truth: his familiar, the void-phoenix Nyx, is actually the last Primordial Beast, and his "null" magic can unwrite reality itself.

"They took her—tried to erase her from my mind—tried to leave me hollow. But I will carve through their so called magic, bleed their souls with my tech, and burn their gilded towers to oblivion. They can make forget. But for her... I WILL remember."

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.

Do you believe in magic? The answer of most will be no. But what if magic DID exsist? To some, it might just be your typical average story. But this has an element of unpredictability mixed in between. Their lives were similar to the two sides of a coin. In order to flee from a perpetually toxic relationship, she offers to him, a proposal he would have never expected. Diego Raymond, desperate to prevent the element from being revealed, has no other option but to concur. Diane Lewis was a normal teenage girl from an aristocratic family. But since she met HIM, her view of the world turned upside down. "How is that even possible?" She asked, mouth agape. He smiled at her, showing a perfect set of snow-white teeth. "With magic, anything is possible." Horn your skills and train your ability. "I will protect you." She said, with a determined gaze. "You can Barely even protect yourself. You are not strong enough." He retorted. "Then, just wait for Me to get stronger." She said, with a smile. "You have no right to be here. We cut ties remember?" Dennis, the man she acknowledged as her Older brother, posed that question, while glaring at her fiercely. "I am not here for you. I am here for the family. There are still people I treasure in this place. So let me through or else..." She completed her statement by majestically drawing out her sword. So many secrets lay hidden. Injustice in the form of justice. Lies, fabricated to become truth. Deception roams around, unleashed. And a Naive girl, who had never seen the shadow that lurked around in the abyss. Will her Destiny be actualized, saving those which she held dear to her heart? Or will she be overwhelmed by the challenges of her new world, succumbing gradually underneath the waves, which seek to devour Her whole, perishing alongside her family?

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.

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 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.

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?"

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. For years, the United Nations had to lie to the world that the current conditions were fine. Those who were invisible moved in tandem with the development of human technology. Living a normal life is indeed a demand, no matter if someone is an esper. But is it possible? Especially this story begins with an individualistic guy. 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"

In a world where Jōki—power fueled by human emotion—rules society, Luka Viazemsky is an anomaly. Born without emotions, he cannot wield Jōki. He cannot even perceive it.

Under the guidance of a masked warrior, he learns the ways of Null Energy—a power unlike anything the world has seen. But in the shadows, forces beyond his understanding move against him. A corrupt hero. A lost sister. A dying race. And at the heart of it all—a buried truth that will shake the world. To reclaim his destiny, Luka must fight against warriors, assassins, and the rising threat of the Xeno. And along the way, he will uncover a secret so terrifying—it could destroy both humanity and himself.

Haunted by whispers of a forgotten prophecy and a past she can barely recall, Emma finds an unlikely ally in Liam, a brooding warrior with a dark and hidden past tied to the Hollowborn and their ancient cults. Together, they discover a powerful artifact known as the Heartstone, capable of unlocking immense magic—magic that could restore balance or unravel the very fabric of their world. But the deeper they dive into the mystery, the more they realize that the Hollowborn are not merely enemies to be defeated, but embodiments of the realm’s ancient flaws—dark forces woven into the very heart of magic itself. As the architects of destruction lurk in the shadows, Emma and Liam must face not only the powerful magic threatening to consume everything they hold dear but also the growing bond between them that could either save or doom them. With realms shattered, pasts uncovered, and hearts intertwined, The Hollow Lie is a thrilling blend of mystery, fantasy, and romance, where the ultimate fight is not just for survival, but for the future of a world torn apart by lies, deceit, and the pursuit of forbidden magic. As they confront the dark forces of the Hollowborn, Emma and Liam will face betrayals, awaken forgotten powers, and decide if their love can be the key to unlocking the truth—or if it will be their undoing.
