Hollow Knight Lore Explained

I thought I was just another student—an ordinary youth trying to live quietly. But the truth? Espers exist. And so do astral entities. And thanks to an accident no one dares to talk about, the world is now hanging by a thread. They told us everything was fine. They lied. Now, I’m caught in the middle of it all… and I can’t even tell what’s real anymore. They say we should live normally. But what does it mean to be “normal” … In a world where your own mind isn’t yours? The world we think is normal… is actually hollow.

Lumberling, a 42-year-old civil engineer, grew numb to the monotonous rhythm of modern life. Hoping to rekindle his sense of wonder, he set out on a solitary nature trip, only to stumble upon an ancient, forgotten pyramid. A strange red light burst forth, killing him instantly… and binding itself to his soul. Cast adrift in the void, his soul found no rest, until he awoke in the body of a young foot soldier, bleeding and broken on a war-torn battlefield in a world not his own. Determined not to die again, Lumberling fights to survive in this brutal new realm where knights clash with monsters, kingdoms rise and fall, and mysterious powers shape the fate of nations. Armed with a strange ability to devour the essence of those he slays, he begins to carve out a new path, one forged by blood, strength, and sheer will. But power alone may not be enough. In a world where danger lurks in every shadow, and ancient forces stir in the dark, can a lost soul rise above fate… or will he be consumed by the very essence he seeks to control?

**“The world forgot him. The Hollow did not.”** Kael Veyne was born powerless in a city where strength is everything. Labeled a burden, overlooked by Wielders, and discarded by the Guilds, he survived only as a porter — dragging gear into Gates he could never hope to conquer. Until the day a dungeon turned deadly... and he was the only one who returned alive. Marked by a forbidden system no one should possess, Kael awakens not to glory or fame — but to **the Hollow**. It doesn’t grant power in battle. It feeds on the aftermath. On fragments. On silence. Now hunted by those who fear what he might become, Kael must grow in the shadows — absorbing what others leave behind, unlocking a strength the world was never meant to see. This time, he won’t beg to be chosen. He will evolve — quietly, endlessly, and without permission.

In later times, whenever people spoke of that galaxy, they would always mention its guardian—and the identity of the guardian’s descendant, the so-called “Devourer.” But all of it began in the distant past, in an era of chaos when the inhabitants of the planet were still at war with one another, a time when an ancient catastrophe seemed to be returning—when a young girl forged a pact with the one who would one day become the guardian.

Balance the debts... or become one. Gideon Harrow didn’t ask to inherit a haunted book, a cursed job, or an extremely hot ghost girl with cheekbones sharp enough to kill him. But life’s unfair, magic’s real, and the dead keep ignoring boundaries. Now he’s stuck balancing other people’s afterlife debts, flinging chalk at angry spirits, and trying very hard not to fall for the mysterious girl currently stealing his clothes and sanity. He’s not ready to be the next Keeper of Accounts. Too bad the Ledger disagrees.

Dungeons appeared without warning. Towering rifts that swallowed streets, towns, even people—changing the world overnight. Most who enter them never return. But one boy does. Six days after vanishing into a rift, Kaito stumbles back into the world—injured, silent, and with no memory of who he is. He remembers nothing: not his home, not his family, not even his own name. As he struggles to rebuild a life with the people who say they love him, strange things begin to stir. There are things he should know. Skills that come too easily. Shadows that move when they shouldn't. Creatures that react to him like he’s something else entirely. The world is changing again. The rifts are evolving. And Kaito may be the key to it all… whether he remembers it or not.

What was supposed to be a boring field trip turns explosive when 18-year-old Kite Connors breaks the rules and sneaks into a restricted zone on Mt. Laurel. While on the mountain, he discovers a pulsing, alien-like stone—and the moment he touches it, his world erupts. Kite is hit with a surge of raw energy, unlocking powers he can barely control. Speed, strength, energy blasts—he’s become something more than human. But he’s not the only one who wants the stone’s power. Now, hunted by dangerous enemies and caught in a war he doesn’t understand, Kite must learn to fight fast, think faster, and uncover the truth behind the mysterious force inside him. Because this isn’t just about powers—it’s about survival.

A forbidden seal. A scribe no one trusts. A judgment that cannot be completed. Shen Jin, once a nameless record-keeper, now holds a relic that cannot be classified by any law or sect. The seal responds to no command — except to questions no one dares to ask. As factions fight over its ownership, the seal begins to remember. And what it remembers… might be the end of everything.

--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- Revian Corvus, the last scion of a fallen noble bloodline, clawed his way into the University of Velmira—a legendary academy where all his ancestors once stood. But in a world where worth is defined by magic, Revian is granted the weakest ability ever recorded: Float. A power so useless it’s considered a joke throughout the entire kingdom. Mocked by classmates and ignored by mentors, he was sentenced to a school year in Class F, a motley crew filled with the weakest fighters in the entire campus. With this, Revian faces a future of obscurity—unless he can uncover the hidden truth behind his laughable gift... and turn humiliation into legend.

He has built walls no one dares climb until the one girl who once saved his life walks back into them, and does not even recognize him. Elan Knight is a billionaire known for silence, scandal, and shutting the world out. Eighteen years ago, a little girl in a quiet Montana town saved him from drowning and gave him a handmade necklace. He has worn the necklace and searched for her ever since. And has failed, until now. Amara Hart does not remember the boy she pulled from the river eighteen years ago. She is just trying to survive, and a high-paying job as Mr. Knight’s secretary may be her only shot at saving her dying father. She does not flinch when he is cold towards her. Does not waver when others would quit. And with every quiet moment, Amara starts to remember. His voice. His eyes. The necklace. The river. But as their past resurfaces, so do the secrets, dangerous ones. Because Elan’s scandal wasn't an accident. And Amara has no idea she’s at the heart of it. She saved him once. This time, who is going to save the other?

"The power within you is loud but will the world listen?" In a world governed by Mantra—a universal energy that fuels strength, speed, and healing—humanity stands on a blade’s edge. Some are born with the potential to awaken Special Manifestations, rare abilities that defy logic and bend reality. These gifted few are trained and tested to become Mantra Knights, an elite force formed to protect civilization from threats beyond comprehension: violent creatures known as Abominations, and worse, the monsters still wearing human faces. Kaiyo Tsukehara, a lightning-charged teen with a sharp tongue and untamed power, has always dreamed of standing among the greats. But wanting to be chosen is one thing—proving you're worthy in the eyes of the six legendary Lances is another. And even harder is becoming a person remembered through generations.

When the sun forgets how to rise, only shadows remain to remember its warmth." In a fractured world where cursed techniques have torn reality into pieces, a mythic realm known as Tenebris Hollow sits hidden between dimensions—a graveyard of forbidden power and unspoken truths. Three warriors, each bearing the burden of darkness, are drawn into the Hollow by fate, memory, and the lingering whispers of a fallen god. Karasu no Itou, the last disciple of the Raven Order, wields the god-eye Akagan—able to trap souls in eternities of illusion. A man who kills not to win, but to prevent. Silva Vespera, the mercenary known as the Coinborne, commands spectral crows with her Nocturna Pacta—binding her own life to the creatures she controls. She fights for gold… or so she tells herself. Yorugan Kurō, exiled heir to a dying temple, is cursed with Kuro’ei, a sentient shadow beast that hungers for carnage and grows stronger in darkness. His greatest enemy may be within. When these three converge at the center of the Hollow in pursuit of the legendary Orb of Unbinding, their powers clash, their pasts unravel, and the meaning of survival is rewritten beneath a broken moon. All shadows meet in the dusk. But not all of them leave.

The war ended with a sword through his heart. His new life begins with a dagger in his soul. Orion Myrelis died a hero… or so he thought. When he awakens in a silent void, stripped of everything but memory and regret, a message from the system delivers a cruel truth: [Congratulations. You have completed the tutorial.] Thrown into a world bound by the laws of a living Tower — a construct older than time and ruled by gods who were once men — Orion finds himself reborn not into glory, but into the cursed body of a failed climber. The boy named Ajax Zareth lingers inside, his soul trapped beneath Orion’s, amused and strangely grateful for the company. Together, they must navigate floor zero and prepare because the countdown to the First Trial was already ticking. Marked as a Drifter, Orion is an anomaly. The Tower bends around him. Beasts are drawn to him. And unlike the others… he has two traits. Prior to being reborn an ancient being took pity on his soul and granted him a unique power. One that could lead him to surpass even the gods if used right. But power always comes with a price — and Orion will soon learn that the Tower was never built to save him. It was built to test him. Break him. And if he refuses to climb… it will bury him.

In the moonlit expanse of the sea, a ship glides toward the enigmatic Isle of the Moon. Its crew, survivors of the realm where death lies in wait, approach a new dawn.

In a world of breathtaking grandeur, where the boundaries of mortality and peril remain veiled, the sands of time begin to whisper tales of the ancients. With the weight of forgotten chronicles upon his shoulders, the boy resolves within himself to venture into the unknown, to unravel the mysteries of epochs long buried. The untold histories and whispered sagas of yore—does sanity lie in heeding them, or in dismissing their allure? The enigmatic young man, Leon, carries but a few words in the depths of his thoughts. "Under the light of a fractured moon, I wish to tell a story."

When war finally ended, the Arcadians sought retribution from the nightmares they had suffered from demonkind. A noble Princess had taken her mother's mantle in order to uphold peace between the two races so humanity could co-exist with their fellow demons in a kingdom without strife, but war paved the road to peace in blood and such path is but a fragile thread awaiting to be ignited by the flames of hatred. Another great war awaits, but will she be able to avert it? Second iteration of the Knight's Fate saga chronologically speaking. Yes I'm starting from the second because the first was an utter failure when I tried to write it, it just didn't fit the mood of a fantasy novel unlike this one. Though don't worry this doesn't mean you can't enjoy this one before I write the first. This is the first story I've actually published so I appreciate any feedback, be it good or bad just let me know what you think.

The dead should stay dead. Kael Arvid repeated the words like a prayer as he adjusted the raven mask over his scarred face. The carved beak pressed cold against the bridge of his nose, the eyeholes narrowing his vision to slits of flickering torchlight. Beneath him, the ballroom of House Dain shimmered—a grotesque painting of gold and rot. Nobles laughed behind ivory masks, their gloved hands clutching goblets of wine dark as clotting blood. The air reeked of clove and something fouler beneath, like meat left too long in the sun. He hadn't come for wine. The dagger at his belt was hungry. It had waited seven years for this night. Seven years since House Dain's soldiers kicked in the door of his family's cottage. Seven years since he'd watched from the treeline as the flames turned his sister's screams to smoke. Seven years of imagining this moment—the moment he'd slide steel between Lord Dain's ribs and whisper his family's names as the light
