In a world governed by fate-bound Paths — where destiny is not chosen, but inherited — Kael Riven was born without one.
Rejected by the Threads of Ascension. Denied a future. Doomed to die forgotten.
He didn’t.
Instead, he learned to do the impossible.
To seize broken outcomes. To bind failure itself. To weaponize the ruins of what should have happened.
Each death became a lesson. Each setback, a diagram. Each betrayal, another piece of the grand equation.
Now, in his 39th attempt, Kael rises not as a hero, nor as a monster — but as something the world has never prepared for:
A Hollowbound — one who threads reality from the corpses of discarded futures.
