Ren, a starving college student trapped in a cafeteria, awakens the only F-Rank skill deemed useless by the global rankings: [Binge Eater].

Jayden thought he could keep his head down, focus on music, and stay out of trouble. But in a city where the streets never forget, peace is only temporary. After a violent encounter that nearly costs him everything, Jayden finds himself pulled deeper into a life he’s trying to escape. As tensions rise and enemies begin to close in, survival becomes more than just staying alive—it becomes a daily choice. Then he meets Amara. Focused, guarded, and determined to stay away from street drama, Amara represents something different… something real. But getting close to her means risking more than just his heart—it means exposing a life he’s been trying to hide. As music starts to open doors and his name slowly gains attention, Jayden is forced to walk a dangerous line between ambition and reality. Loyalty, revenge, and pressure from the streets threaten to destroy everything he’s building. In a world where one wrong move can cost your life, Jayden must decide: Will he chase his future… or be trapped by his past?

In 2030, humanity faced its first true collapse…not by war, but by the sudden invasion of Nightcrawlers, creatures emerging from darkness itself with the desire to devour sunlight at all cost for their evolution. But, they could not absorb it directly since it was as deadly to them as to a shadow under the noonday sun. They could only absorb the sunlight from lifeforms or through signing a nocturnal contract to possess their bodies, providing them with direct sunlight immunity. Within twelve hours, over four billion people perished as Earth was split between eternal night and day. Just as extinction loomed, Holy Light Pillars descended from the heavens, purging one thousand cities from Nightcrawlers and offering humanity sanctuary under their divine light. A century later, in the Heliodor Region, an innocent child found his world turned upside down after two mysterious nightcrawlers invaded his home, slaughtered his parents, and ripped his eyes out of their sockets, leaving him permanently connected to the Shadow Dimension, the home ground of Nightcrawlers. Was it just a random feeding session for them, a planned assassination, or it goes deeper than this? Follow Levi’s journey as he weaves between darkness and light, chasing the truth hidden in both.

‎Kael Voss is nineteen years old, broke, and works the night shift at a city morgue because no one else would hire him. ‎He is not special. He was not chosen. He has no destiny. ‎ ‎What he has is a dead man's arm with a mark on it, a basement crack in the fabric of reality, and a debt counter on his skin that starts at zero. ‎ ‎It will not stay at zero. ‎ ‎Beneath the modern world runs the Rift ‎ a dying supernatural layer leaking into reality, bleeding hunger and monsters and rules that nobody wrote down. Most people never see it. The ones who do either survive and become something different, or they don't survive at all. ‎Kael steps through anyway. ‎Not because he is brave. Because he has done the math, and sitting still is already losing. ‎ ‎Every time he survives the Rift, he gains something. Strength. Perception. Abilities that have no name yet. But the Rift does not give anything away. Every ability comes with a debt attached, a cost calculated after the fact, collected at a time and in a currency he does not get to choose. He does not know what is collecting. ‎ ‎That is the part that should scare him. ‎It does. He just does not let it stop him. ‎HOLLOW THRONE is a dark progression fantasy set in the modern world. It follows one cynical, methodical young man learning to navigate a hidden war between the surface world and what lives beneath it, armed with a sharp mind, growing power, and a bill he cannot afford to ignore. ‎ ‎The debt always comes due. ‎The question is whether Kael is still standing when it does.
