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.

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.

“Listen for the buzz of the Golden Honeybee’s wings, Where it will guide you to a lonely mountain creek, Follow the path abandoned by the hearts of kings, And be sure not to make a single peep.

The world ended without warning. Orin Kael was just another drifter surviving day-to-day in Ashcroft City when reality itself shattered, plunging him into the Hollow Rift—a nightmarish labyrinth where forgotten myths walk and the weak are devoured. In this fractured realm, humans are nothing more than prey. The Rift grants power to those it deems worthy through the Axiom Protocol, transforming survivors into something more than human. But Orin was chosen by nothing—rejected by the very system that empowers others. Yet when he survives his first encounter with a Hollowborn Stalker, Orin awakens a forbidden trait: the Axiom of Endurance. Unlike others who receive gifts, his power is earned through suffering. Every wound he endures, every hardship he survives, makes him stronger. Now Orin must navigate the ever-shifting laws of the Rift, facing horrors that defy logic, rivals willing to kill for the smallest advantage, and the disturbing truth behind this prison dimension. As he descends deeper, he uncovers a terrifying reality: the Hollow Rift wasn't built to create champions—it was designed to contain something far worse. With no patron, no destiny, and apparently no way back, Orin has only one choice—to seize the Rift with his own hands and become its first true Sovereign, or break the cycle entirely.

Ezra Veyne was just an ordinary reader. A fan of Chronicles of the Eternal Throne, a novel where fate is absolute, heroes rise, and villains fall. Then he died. And woke up as Calveros Nacht, the novel’s greatest villain—a warlord fated to die at the hands of the so-called hero, Aurelian Veris. At first, Ezra thinks he can use his knowledge of the story to survive. He has a status window, just like every noble in this world. His system is normal. Or at least, it should be. Then he notices it. A hidden stat that flickers in and out of existence. [Sanity: ???] A system warning that appears when no one else is watching. [Correction Pending…] And worst of all—Aurelian Veris isn’t acting like the hero he remembers. Their paths were never supposed to cross this early. The academy was never supposed to summon them for an emergency. And a student was never supposed to die before the story even began. Ezra thought he had time. Now, fate itself is breaking. The world isn’t just resisting his existence—it’s trying to erase him. But if he is going to be erased, he refuses to go down as a forgotten mistake. If the world wants a villain, he’ll give it one. Even if it means tearing reality apart with him.

Pursued by Primals, ancient beings who seek dominion over the broken world, Kaelen joins a rebellion of outcasts, each bearing their own secrets, their own scars. Together, they seek the Echo Mirror, an artifact shattered long ago, said to be the key to restoring balance. But the deeper they venture into the decaying realms, the more Kaelen realizes something that makes her question the reality of her own existence. ------------ Hello, dear readers!!

When he meets Siegfried, a warrior bound by fate and trapped within the sword, Tobias unknowingly awakens a legend lost to time.

As entire cities fall, two exiles find themselves caught in the storm. Ruby Velkyn was born into a royal bloodline of fire and power, destined to inherit the throne. Instead, she was cast out. Branded a failure, she now wanders the lands, searching for a purpose beyond the flames that haunt her. Kaia Locke was never meant to survive.

She escaped, but the void within her never did. When their paths collide in the midst of a Hollow attack, Ruby and Kaia realize the truth: the Veil’s collapse isn’t random. It’s tied to their very existence. The fire and the void—two forces bound by fate, caught in a cycle of destruction neither of them fully understands.

The Veil is breaking, the Hollow are rising, and the only ones who can stop it are the ones the world abandoned.
