Hollow Ichigo Scream

Kon, a swordmaster and leader of the guild Insanity Blue, was betrayed by his comrades right after finally killing the strongest boss of the game — the Tyrant Dragon. Before claiming his reward, the one-time wish, he was stabbed by Maki, his oldest friend in the game. Dying in that game means dying in real life. Soon after dying, Kon found himself awake. But the body was not his level 1000 swordmaster, nor was it his real body in the real world. He discovered he had been reincarnated in the body of his alt character. Kon swore revenge. They took his life, now it was his turn to take theirs.

Zukhanyi has lived a life carved in shadows, her hands stained by a fire she never meant to light. Naledi carries scars she never asked for, protecting a secret that changed her forever. When their paths cross in a quiet village outside Durban, what begins as survival becomes something far deeper — love, built in silence, cemented in truth. Together, they create Embers & Ash, a charcoal business built with strategy, sacrifice, and secrecy. But as they rise, the world begins to notice — and so do those who want to see them fall. Haunted by their pasts, hunted by corrupt officials, and bound by a love that refuses to break, Zukhanyi and Naledi must decide: keep hiding, or burn everything down to protect what they’ve built. In a world where truth is dangerous and love is rebellion, silence may be the only weapon left.

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. A young stranger sits amidst the environment, his gaze fixed on the horizon, his thoughts a quiet symphony of contemplation. 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."

One moment, Jia Lan was a modern city girl with perfect skin, soft hands, and zero survival skills. The next? She’s in the 1970s—inside a novel—as the youngest daughter of a powerful and wealthy urban family. She’s not the heroine. In fact, the hardworking female lead and righteous male lead are out there suffering through life, trying to "earn" a future in the city. Jia Lan? She just woke up in silk pajamas, got pampered by her entire family, and activated a daily check-in system that hands her perks for simply… showing up. ✿ Visit the kitchen? Gain cooking skills. ✿ Lounge in the courtyard? Glowing skin. ✿ Exist gracefully? Congratulations, you’ve leveled up again. While others chase opportunities and eat bitterness, Jia Lan is over here sipping tea, casually unlocking cheat codes, and getting praised for walking downstairs. Spoiled? Yes. Vulgar? Never. Plot-hungry? Absolutely not. She’s not here to steal anyone’s story. She’s just here to live her best life—gracefully, beautifully, and with a faint scent of jasmine. Too bad everyone else can’t stop staring.

Rejected by the world. Summoned into another. Kai and Mei—a brother and sister are suddenly summoned to a magical realm that’s anything but normal. To survive, they must solve mysteries. With the power of their Cores—supernatural abilities that let them read emotions, craft objects from drawings, and expose hidden truths—they take on a secret organization threatening the fate of the world. Oh, and Kai might accidentally build a harem along the way. Kai (15): a quiet strategist with the gift to read people like books. Mei (18): The Genius Empress, an eccentric genius with a creative mind and deadly hands. They’re not heroes. They’re not saviors. They’re: Siblings With No Life, Summoned To Another World As Detectives.

The world remembers him only in whispers. In stories meant to frighten children. In scriptures sealed behind church vaults. In the charred ruins of cities that dared to stand tall. They call him many things. The Lord of Endless Midnight. The Sovereign of Ashes. The Demon of the Last Light. No one speaks the name he once bore. No one remembers the man. His throne sits atop a black citadel built where no grass grows. No birds sing above it. No stars shine above its towers. The land around it decays — not because he wills it, but because the gods themselves turned their eyes away from him. He does not speak. He does not smile. He does not sleep. Only once in a while, when the flames of war flicker low, he dreams — and the world trembles. In those dreams, there is no blood. Only a woman’s laughter, soft and warm. A child running through wildflowers. A fire in a hearth that smells like safety. Faces blurred by time, yet never truly forgotten. He wakes. He feels nothing. And so he marches again. The world believes he seeks conquest. That he wishes to drown the continent in darkness. But that is not the truth. The truth is worse. He is not here to rule. He is here to erase. To burn the world that betrayed him, not out of hatred… but because it no longer deserves to exist. He tried to protect it once. He begged. He bled. He trusted. And for that, they fed him to the flame — and made him need the darkness. It was not always like this. He was not always this. He once had a name. He once had a family. He once had a friend who called him brother. They are gone now. He remains. Not Kael Viremont, the Duke of the Western Vale. No. That man died in chains of ash and blood. What remains now… ...is a silence the gods cannot bear to hear. Let the world scream his name in fear. Let them curse the night he fell. Let them pray to empty heavens. For the last light is long gone. And its scream has only just begun.

The prophet said a Dromen would return… to save us. By death or life. Will it be end or life?

In a dying world bound by failing systems and haunted by the dreams of a forgotten god, Kael was never meant to survive. Born with unlimited mana and cursed blood, he was destined to wear the Hollow Crown and fall like the kings before him. But Kael rejects dominion and in doing so, begins to unravel the prison that holds the Sleeper.

He wasn’t the strongest. He wasn’t the fastest. And no—he wasn’t born chosen. His name was Kamanuzzaman, and if history remembers him, it will not be because of fate. It will be because he broke it. He grew up watching the same loop: the powerful rising, the powerless repeating. Justice postponed. Mistakes recycled. Hope dangled like bait in front of those too tired to question. Some called it society. Others called it balance. He called it a curse with a pretty name. The world doesn’t need heroes. It needs a malfunction. If history is a wheel, then he will be the stone in its spokes. He was quiet at first. Observant. The kind of boy who never spoke in class, but always knew the answer. They thought he was harmless. Until the patterns started to make sense to him. And when patterns make sense, so do their weaknesses. He didn’t want to save the world. He wanted to change the rules it played by. Not to become a god. Just to stop being a pawn. They fear being wrong. HE fear being right—because it means this system works as intended.” There’s a legend passed down in his world, from a philosopher named Sir Faiyaz Hasan, a man who once whispered: All truths rot into rules. And all rules become prisons. Kamanuzzaman listened. He listened too deeply. Until silence itself began to echo. They called him mad, but he was just more awake than they could bear. This is not a story of light versus dark. There are no heroes here. No villains. Only recursion… and the boy who defied it. This is the story of The Hollow Resonance— The moment when an ordinary boy refused to live inside a repeating answer, and chose to become the error in the equation. He don’t want to live forever. he want to live once—and make it impossible to forget.

They called me Hollow. No beast. No bond. No future. In a world where every sixteen-year-old is branded with a Burden and bonded to a Vault Beast, failure means death. The Trial Vaults are merciless—only the strong survive, and the Bonded thrive. But when my branding came, nothing happened. No summon. No power. Just silence. Everyone thought I was cursed. Weak. Fodder for the front lines. They were half right. Because I didn’t fail the bond. My beast never stood beside me—it was already inside me. Now, as I’m thrown into Vault Trial 09, hunted by monsters and manipulated by factions, something ancient stirs in my blood. A secret they tried to erase. A power even the Vaults fear. They made a mistake leaving me alive. And now? The Hollow is hungry.

Veltharion is a city choking on its own corruption—a gilded cage where magic dictates life and death. The Arcanum Lords rewrite laws with blood-inked quills, the Church preaches blind devotion to the all-consuming **Machine**, and those without power, the "Nulls," are erased like scribbled mistakes. Yet **Charles II**, the infamous *Mysterious Lord*, walks untouched through the rot. A wealthy Null aristocrat with a mind like shattered glass, he solves occult crimes that terrify even mages. His past is a void: no records of his birth, no memories of his parents, only whispers of a shadow that moves when he stands still. When the **still-beating heart of a dead sorcerer** materializes in a rain-slicked alley—oozing ink instead of blood, whispering *"The Machine remembers you"*—Charles is thrust into a labyrinth of horrors. Hollow-eyed assassins stalk his steps, children scream prophecies in forgotten tongues, and his own reflection ages backward in broken mirrors. With only two fractured allies—**Zara, a warrior whose scars bleed forgotten battles**, and **Rahul, a thief haunted by memories that aren’t his**—Charles races to unravel a conspiracy rewriting reality itself. The deeper he digs, the clearer the nightmare becomes: his erased past holds the key to a war that unmade kingdoms. And if he uncovers it, **the truth will bleed**.

Clide is a Hollow—part of a feared race of powerful beings hunted by humans and their allies, the Seraphim.

But Ilya is done being silent. Thrown into a world of court games, ancient magic, and deadly secrets, Ilya knows she must either carve out power in the arms of the very monster the empire fears or succumb to the Knight in the Wooded Hollow.

DIRGE OF VORNHEIM: The Hollow Son In the frostbitten ruins of a forgotten kingdom, a boy was forged not born. His name is Thalric Vornheim, and his silence screams louder than war. Once the son of a disgraced general, now a nameless ghost marching through snow and steel, Thalric carries only two things: his broken blade, and the weight of the dead.

The only thing more dangerous than the creatures hunting them... is the price of keeping their word.
