The Hollow Lord

A city clings to a cliff and burns its dead into light. The ledgers say the numbers balance. Rowan Mire, a municipal scribe who trusts columns more than people, finds a sum that cannot exist: refinery output higher than recorded deaths. The arithmetic points to an unspeakable truth—the living are being rendered. Chased by polite men with borrowed authority and cornered by committees that speak in hymns and euphemisms, Rowan is dragged from his desk into Karst’s underways: grief-houses that sing, bell-helmed enforcers who hum thoughts out of focus, and the Catacombs where morrowglass is refined and secrets are salted into stone. He makes an uneasy pact with Lysa Vane, a mortician whose inked anchors keep her memories from washing away. Together they follow forged chits, nervous stamps, and a tremor in the city’s seal straight toward the engine that runs Karst—and the hands that feed it. Magic here is Hollowing: swallow a measured grain of morrowglass, etch a precise vector, pay a precise price. Light blooms; something in you goes missing. Lumen steals warmth, Kint frays your body-map, Echo eats faces and names; every burn carves a tidy hole. Anchor yourself or become a Wick, a conduit chained to a ward-pylon, identity burned to ash while the city drinks your shine. As the Stormward shivers and factions circle—the Consular Guild that monetizes mercy, the Lantern Church that hymns “Useful Endings,” the Wardens who call cruelty maintenance—Rowan must decide how much of himself he’s willing to spend to expose the architecture of a crime written in perfect penmanship. Each step deeper into the ledger turns him into the kind of weapon the city pretends it doesn’t use. If he keeps burning, the math may work; if the math works, there may be nothing left of him to claim the answer. Expect a slow-burn dark fantasy with street-level intrigue, hard rules and real costs for magic, morally gray bargains, razor-edged dialogue, and a long-form progression that peels power out of people one measured grain at a time.

Live Streaming Academy

In the world of talents and superpowers, people awaken a talent varying by ranks around the age of fifteen. Some get their powers early during happy moments, while others unlock them during life-threatening situations. A few unlucky people never awaken any talent at all and become complete outsiders. Solomon awakened exactly on his fifteenth birthday. He received an incredibly rare SSS-rank talent and became famous all over the world. However, three years passed with him trying to figure out his power, but no one could help him understand how to use it. The public quickly turned on him and gave him the nickname 'Strongest Loser'. No guild, corporation, or organization wanted to recruit him despite being an SSS-rank talent holder. One day, when he was on his way home after getting rejected by the last guild in the city, a beggar came to him asking for money. He randomly helped the old beggar, who gave him a dirty paper in return. It was an invitation to the Live Streaming Academy, where only the chosen ones with an invitation could ever enroll. He thought that joining the academy might help him finally be able to use his talent. With no other choice left, Solomon decided to go there and test his luck. That single choice turned Solomon into a legend. He became the most feared for generations to come, and even when centuries passed, no one dared to say his name out loud, and he was only referred to as 'the one who shall not be named'. *** For Every 300 Power Stones = 1 Extra chapter.

AZI: Burial of a Selfish Lunatic

Full Title, AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic, Who Walked through Reincarnation for Two-Trillion Years Volumes 1-3 Synopsis: “Who?” Holding a lone gourd in hand the young man raises it to the Heavens with a single question. “Who wishes to accompany me? To stay by my side for an eternity, and to walk through the mountains, and seas?” May container spoilers below Volume 4 Synopsis: Weapon spirits, such is the nature of every single Sinner within the Leng Bing Realm. In other words, all of them are but tools, and a tool… “A tool has no right to choose their owner, and what a tool does is decided by their owner.” “…Cruel, how very cruel the laws of this world are. Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer. They’re constantly being pushed left and right. …While everyone else drowns in a sea of despair, a hero must stand their ground, and step forward—to guide the deadbeats along. They must become the shining beacon of hope that others may follow—towards a future, where they may survive. Tell me then, if a hero isn’t a masochist, then what are they?” The world is a game board, those who control the game board, and the game itself… What are they? Volume 6 Synopsis: “A lunatic near death has three options. One, they can choose to pass away peacefully. Two, they can choose to spend the rest of their remaining life to find a solution that will let them live. Three, they can drag an entire world down as a part of their burial.” ……… “The longer you live for, and the more you experience, the less you care about the things around you. Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ……… “You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.” ……… The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine. He was born on a moonlit night, and yet, since his eyes were blind, his majesty—the emperor decided to name him Bujian Yue. “Did you know—that the more fearful a prey is, the tastier it is? At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows.

Heartless Renegade

After dying while trying to save a child from a car, Nick Wilt is reincarnated in a world where Gates form and unleash abominations that spread terror across humanity. What remains of civilisation survives beneath colossal Alliance Domes, protected by powerful people known as Core users. Around eighty percent of the population possesses a Core, each one born with an Ultimate. An Ultimate is a unique ability shaped by many factors such as a person's talents, affinities, and their deepest desires. As a Core ranks up, old abilities evolve, and new ones emerge, becoming exponentially more powerful. Reborn as a baby in the slums of this new world beyond the safety of the city's Dome, which is constantly under attack from abominations. Nick quickly learns that the abominations are not the only threat. In the outside world, there are numerous abominations (some even extinction-level threats) alongside the Fiends, rogue Core users who release their power without restraint. Within the domes, corrupt elites prey upon the weak, hiding with a false sense of justice and manufactured order. Determined to rise above the depths he was born into, Nick enters the martial school where students are forged into fighters through Gates and relentless training. Surrounded by ambitious allies and foes, Nick must climb through a world where power defines worth. There is only one problem. While most awaken attack-type Ultimates, Nick receives an investigation-type Ultimate barely suited for combat, paired with abysmal talent. Can he defy the fate he is given?
