Heir of the Hollow Flame

He died alone, nameless and unmissed — a brilliant, unfeeling soul obsessed with nature’s savagery and the thrill of survival. To most, he was a recluse. To some, a monster. But death was not the end. It was an Beginning.



Reincarnated in a new world of elemental spirits, ancient races, and fractured kingdoms, he awakens in a shattered body—broken, and barely alive—amid the burning ruins of Bellreach, a city annihilated by the clash of two unknown entities. The former soul of this body is gone, died screaming as his town turned to ruins.



But the one who inherits it is something else entirely.



Armed with a ruthless mind and a hunger for understanding the new world’s creatures—be they spirit, beast, or human—he begins to rise. As nobles scheme, armies mobilize, and monsters walk among men, Drevan moves in silence—charming, dissecting, manipulating. For him, emotions are tools, power is prey, and the world is a living puzzle waiting to be solved.



What they see as a disaster, he sees as opportunity.

What others mourn, he studies. What others fear, he seeks.



But he would find out that nothing is free and coincidence is the word for ignorant.

Something watches. Something waits.

And in exchange for this second life, a bargain unspoken begins to unfold—one that binds him to powers older than the stars, and a role in a conflict that will determine the fate of realms.



Driven not by revenge or justice, but by curiosity, hunger, and freedom, he walks the line between man and monster.



He did not ask for destiny.

But destiny asked for him.
