I didn’t like the synopsis that was here before, so I deleted it. However, I can’t think of a new one right now, so I won’t be putting one up for the time being.

As for what I have to say about this—despite the beginning, this isn’t a story about systems or dungeons, at least not in my view. It’s not my intention to write that, despite the obvious nods. This first part isn’t even focused on action, to be honest. I’d wager you could count on the fingers of one hand how many dungeons Hye entered even after 130 chapters.

Portals were an easier way to explain what happens with the monsters, but that wasn’t the original idea. It was something I borrowed from works like *Solo*, for example, but it’s not what I envision happening in that world. Nowadays, I’ve already thought of a way to explain how things really work as I see them—in this case, without portals—but to change that, I’d have to rewrite the entire story, and, well, that would require time—a luxury I don’t have.

I hope you enjoy it, if you decide to give it a chance, of course.

Echoes of Hollow

Unbelieving and terrified, Admetos spins on the floor—even slicing himself with his own claws. No matter how much it will hurt, he does everything to break free from that abominable, repulsive form. 


 "No, no, no!" he repeats in despair. "Please... please, no...! Father!" 


He still recalls the mutilated body and the pool of blood that surrounded it. A horrified face—this was all that remained. He was so young, yet he had to witness that scene: his father's blood being used as ink to paint a door by none other than his very own mother. 


 "No, she isn’t... can’t be...! No!" 


His doubts take shape and his fears hit him hard. His mother had assured him otherwise, but the uncertainty about the child she cradles lingers—questions over whose blood truly runs in that little one. 


 "She’s my sister, I know... It has to be...!" 


Rumors whispered through the city—everyone, with their heightened senses, knew that such words never truly faded into the dark.
