The hollow ones

The hollow ones

oscar_1697
Forensic psychologist Eleanor "Ellie" Grayson is called to evaluate Jonas Blackwood, the sole survivor of a gruesome massacre linked to an occult ritual. Jonas exhibits disturbing behavior—his eyes empty, his voice shifting, and his words cryptic: “We are many. We are hollow.” At first, Ellie assumes he’s suffering from severe psychological trauma, but when a wave of unexplained violence spreads through the psychiatric hospital where he’s held, she realizes something far more sinister is at play. As Ellie investigates, she uncovers a chilling legend—The Hollow Ones. Once human, these beings have been emptied of all emotions, desires, and identities, becoming vessels for an ancient, unknowable force. The more people they consume, the stronger their presence in the world. And the more Ellie learns about them, the more they take notice of her. Soon, she begins experiencing eerie symptoms—her reflection lags in mirrors, she hears voices whispering from the shadows, and she feels her emotions dulling as if something is siphoning her very soul. Desperate for answers, she joins forces with Dr. Alistair Kincaid, an occult historian who warns that once someone is marked by the Hollow Ones, the process of hollowing out is nearly unstoppable. As Ellie fights to retain her sense of self, she discovers that Jonas Blackwood’s excavation of an ancient burial site may have unleashed the Hollow Ones once more. The entities do not kill—they spread, infecting the minds and bodies of the living, transforming them into soulless husks. Now, Ellie must race against time to stop the spread before she loses herself completely. But how do you fight something that is already inside you? And if the price of survival means sacrificing a part of her humanity, is she willing to pay it? In a chilling blend of supernatural horror and psychological suspense, The Hollow Ones is a terrifying exploration of identity, possession, and the creeping fear of losing what makes us human.

Hood, Oregon, he exists, going about his day-to-day life with the least enthusiasm possible. However, when he’s called on a mission to hunt down the criminals of this world–“rebels”–his company is caught off guard and torn to pieces. But Jelani survives, obtains the power of an element, and, with the world on the brink of a second disaster, he resolves to gain strength and make his existence known.

Marvel: The Cursed Child

“Ryomen Sukuna, Meruem, and Light Yagami are chosen after their deaths to be fused into a single being by an entity self-proclaimed as an ‘Outer God,’ which seems to be placing far too much into a single new soul. The story follows a ‘mutant’ named Alex, a 16-year-old who lives a normal life—he goes to school, shops like anyone else, and works a part-time job. Like all Epsilon-class mutants, he suffers heavily from prejudice by humans. Of course, he constantly walks a tightrope between being publicly lynched for his horrible appearance or simply being ignored. Fortunately, he is not alone in this life—his mother is the only thing that makes him want to keep living. But one day, while he was returning home, a group of anti-mutant people went after him and tried to take “justice” into their own hands. However, when that happens, something within him awakens, causing massive destruction.”

Hogwarts: The Mythic Primordial System

Wrong world. Right power. A wand in hand, a universe in mind. A first-year at Hogwarts wakes a Mythic Primordial System that speaks in principles older than magic. Spells still work—just not like the textbooks say. The System unlocks Sevenfold Insight, hardens skin to ironbound flesh, and sets quests that pay out for clever choices: earn a beast’s trust, outwit goblins at the bank, turn a duel into an alliance. While professors grade charms and hexes, he builds a hidden Sanctum and learns to weave fate-threads through choice, promise, and name. Each step bends school rules—potions become elixirs, brooms become windcraft, shields become bodies that do not break. Dark wizards scheme in shadow. The System is already there, several moves ahead. Magic meets myth—and the syllabus will never survive it.

Roots Buried in Another World

Li Yanshu is known for her precision, her calm under pressure, and her unwavering sense of justice. As a Special Task Force captain, she has faced countless life-and-death situations—but nothing could have prepared her for the case that would shatter everything she believed in. What begins as a hostage crisis soon spirals into something far more sinister—an incident rooted in hidden cruelty and buried truth. In the aftermath of that tragedy, Yanshu’s life changes in ways she could never have imagined. Because the real shock wasn’t the explosion. It was what came after. Her mother—the one person she trusted above all else, her confidant and safest place—had been hiding something. A secret so deep, so impossible, that when it is finally revealed, Yanshu begins to question not only her past… but her very existence. That secret becomes a doorway. A doorway to another world. A world unlike Earth—where magic flows through the air, ancient powers rule in silence, and magical beasts roam untamed lands. A world tied to her mother’s forgotten past… and to Yanshu herself. Now, with her mother’s life hanging by a fragile thread, Yanshu must step into this unknown realm to save her, uncover the truth behind her origins, and face dangers beyond human understanding. Because some roots are not meant to be buried. And some truths… can change everything. But in this unfamiliar world, she encounters someone who shouldn’t exist— a man from her original world. He doesn’t recognize her. He doesn’t know her name. But she knows him. The nameless thief from her past... And his presence may be the key to a mystery far greater than she ever imagined.
