Hollow City

"They say power corrupts... but what if corruption was the price of power?" Lucian never sought power—he only wanted to save his grandfather.

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.
