Title: THE HOLLOW THRONE

trexoustrikky
The world ended when the ancient mechanism of OAKHAVEN shattered. Now, a massive, swirling void known only as the Abyssal Tear hangs in the purple sky, constantly raining debris, monsters, and a soul-fusing disease called the Echoing Strain. Silas Vance is a scavenger, a nobody from the polluted, monster-infested Outer Slums. He survives by finding tiny, glowing Hollowed Cores—crystallized souls from the fallen city. Silas is different: he can fuse these cores not to weapons, but to himself. He is chosen by a sentient AI-Mandate, "The Hollow Throne System," which gives him a unique power. He can absorb the memories and forms of the monsters he defeats, summoning them as powerful Echoes. The catches? The more cores he absorbs, the closer he gets to becoming a monster himself. Worse, the System has cursed him with the Flaw of Mandatory Silence: "If he speaks the truth, his heart will stop." Silas must fight, collect, and deceive his way to the top. To survive, he doesn't need to be a hero. He needs to build a legend—and he must do it without saying a word.
