Lovecraft Occult

The hollow ones

Forensic psychologist Eleanor "Ellie" Grayson is called to evaluate Jonas Blackwood, the sole survivor of a gruesome massacre linked to an occult ritual. Jonas exhibits disturbing behavior—his eyes empty, his voice shifting, and his words cryptic: “We are many. We are hollow.” At first, Ellie assumes he’s suffering from severe psychological trauma, but when a wave of unexplained violence spreads through the psychiatric hospital where he’s held, she realizes something far more sinister is at play. As Ellie investigates, she uncovers a chilling legend—The Hollow Ones. Once human, these beings have been emptied of all emotions, desires, and identities, becoming vessels for an ancient, unknowable force. The more people they consume, the stronger their presence in the world. And the more Ellie learns about them, the more they take notice of her. Soon, she begins experiencing eerie symptoms—her reflection lags in mirrors, she hears voices whispering from the shadows, and she feels her emotions dulling as if something is siphoning her very soul. Desperate for answers, she joins forces with Dr. Alistair Kincaid, an occult historian who warns that once someone is marked by the Hollow Ones, the process of hollowing out is nearly unstoppable. As Ellie fights to retain her sense of self, she discovers that Jonas Blackwood’s excavation of an ancient burial site may have unleashed the Hollow Ones once more. The entities do not kill—they spread, infecting the minds and bodies of the living, transforming them into soulless husks. Now, Ellie must race against time to stop the spread before she loses herself completely. But how do you fight something that is already inside you? And if the price of survival means sacrificing a part of her humanity, is she willing to pay it? In a chilling blend of supernatural horror and psychological suspense, The Hollow Ones is a terrifying exploration of identity, possession, and the creeping fear of losing what makes us human.

The Ring Of Consistency

As the author of this book I should give a fair warning: the first chapters are a scam!! Okay, let me explain. The character that you most likely think is the protagonist, is not the protagonist. Why? Honestly, idk, I just felt like doing it. Makes the story feel more realistic and approachable because every character is worth something. The story follows a male lead, Ju Min-Jung, who at one point in his life was a normal middle-aged man from Korea. He gets transmigrated to a world called Einar as Lychipher Klein in which becoming quote-unquote a "god", is not just possible, but relatively common. Years have gone by in a flash and Lychipher has enjoyed a simple and laid-back life, going by the nickname of Whiskey. The story starts when a contracted guild summons the lovecraftian inspired eldritch entity known as Dietrich, which fragmented itself into several variants born from chosen women. The fragments each have the distinct feature of white hair and can be released when the variant is killed. When all the variants are killed each fragment will be fused allowing Dietrich to form in Einar. This quickly escalates into family feuds, mystery, mystism and the occult. Questions emerge perpetually the instant one is answered, mysterious forces are at work pulling the strings behind closed curtains and fate seems to be the greatest for of all.... What to expect: Firstly is the world of Einar. It's a world entirely fictional so don't try to wrap your head around the timeline because I honestly just smashed several themes that I liked together. Originally, I chose for late 16th century baroque and renaissance, but later I also added elements of the western victorian era, the wild west and more. Now the next thing to expect is probably not something you'll appreciate much, and that is slow pacing. I know, I know —you're probably screaming "whyyy!?". But it's best for the story to play out the way it should, ya' know- instead of rushing it. Besides, going for a mysterious factor demands slow pacing because otherwise the mystery is short-lived.

I accidentally bonded with a failed god experiment?!

In a world where gods experiment with creation and discard their failures, one Tokyo high schooler's life is about to get cosmically complicated. Reo Kisaragi, an ordinary teenager with a passion for urban legends and a desperate need for TikTok likes, accidentally performs a summoning ritual that was never supposed to work. To his shock, he finds himself bonded to Kuro—a sarcastic, overpowered "failed divine experiment" with a casual attitude toward reality-bending chaos. What starts as a comedy of errors quickly escalates when their bond creates "reality cracks" that begin affecting others. Haruto, the school's feared delinquent, suddenly develops destructive voice-based powers. Yui, an eccentric occult enthusiast, discovers her shadow has a mind (and agenda) of its own. And all of them find themselves targets of the Divine Order—celestial enforcers tasked with "purifying" anything the gods consider imperfect. As Reo and his newfound allies struggle to master their chaotic abilities, they discover they're caught in the middle of a cosmic conflict. The Forsaken—other failed divine experiments cast aside by their creators—offer protection and training, while revealing the gods' darker secrets. What began as an accident becomes a battle for survival against increasingly powerful divine enforcers, from robotic Exorcists to the deadly Seraphs who serve the King of Gods himself. With the help of rebel deities, cosmic outcasts, and their own growing powers, Reo and his friends evolve from hapless teenagers into something the divine never anticipated: proof that their "failures" might be their greatest success. But as the Divine War escalates from school hallways to city streets to cosmic battlefields, they face an unsettling question: in a world ruled by gods who demand perfection, is there room for those who are perfectly imperfect? Part comedy, part action epic, and part exploration of what it means to be deemed a "failure," this story follows Reo's journey from accidental summoner to potential world-saver, all while trying to survive high school, manage newfound powers, and deal with a cosmic entity who thinks everything is an opportunity for a training montage. Inspire by dandadan but sorry no romance. Sorry,I am not that type of writer
