Ethan Vale was nothing special. A university dropout, a shut-in obsessed with brutal, punishing RPGs, and a man who knew strategy better than he knew real life. But when his screen flickered with an ominous error message and the world around him shattered, he awoke in a land that should not exist—The Hollow Domain, a place where gods have long since died, where eldritch horrors rule, and where kingdoms of the damned crumble beneath an unending curse. He had no weapons. No powers. No divine destiny. But he had intelligence—and the curse of resurrection.

But Ethan is determined to carve a path through the madness, to outthink the horrors that lurk in the shadows, and to uncover the truth behind the Hollow Domain. Because something is watching him. Something is waiting. And it wants him to suffer.
