The Hollow Mark

In a city where the sun no longer rises and the dead don’t stay buried, Nerin awakens marked by a curse older than time itself—The Hollow Mark, a searing brand of cold fire that eats at his soul with every heartbeat. Stripped of his past and haunted by memories that aren’t his, he walks the broken alleys of the Hollowed City, a place rotting under blood-red moss, ruled by whispers and shadows.



But the Mark is more than a curse—it’s a key.



Guided by Lysara, a sharp-tongued phantom tethered to his fate, and hunted by Vael, a shadow-thing who calls himself a god, Nerin must navigate a crumbling world where power comes only through sacrifice—and the line between man and monster fades with every choice.



Every pact steals a piece of his soul. Every memory remembered is one more forgotten. Every victory? Paid in blood.



As the city’s dark heart begins to stir, ancient forces long buried begin to awaken: Wraith-Lords, Shard-Beasts, and things that whisper from the Abyss. With each Hollowed he slays, Nerin grows stronger. But the cost is mounting—and soon, he must decide:



Will he conquer the darkness within him?



Or become its vessel?
