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

As the grunts echoed around them, a chant began to fill the air: 


Like a serene mirror, I reflect the perfect duality of the universe. 


Where in every opposite lies the path to balance. 


I vibrate in the harmony of contrasts, 


With each new breath, I dance where the locks embrace the light and the light softens the shadows. 


In the sacred circle, I find the eternal flow 


That unites calm and action, peace and movement. 


Samael watched this intonation unfold—using something like that for self-improvement struck him as degrading—but time wore on, and among all, only Samantha had proven capable of controlling mana up to now.
