Hollow Stories

Riley doesn't remember the last time someone asked if she was okay. Not really asked. Not in the way that meant they were going to stay for the answer. She is seventeen years old and she has already learned the most important lesson this town has to offer - that people leave. They leave with promises folded neatly in their pockets, with good intentions they fully mean at the time, with duffel bags and bus tickets and fifteen days that turn into three years without a single word. They leave, and the ones left behind learn to stop waiting by the window. They learn to stop setting an extra plate. They learn to breathe around the absence until the absence just becomes the air. Riley works the late shift. She carries drinks to tables without being asked twice. She doesn't flinch at loud voices anymore. She doesn't cry at things that used to make her cry. She has become very good at being invisible in a room full of people - and even better at being invisible to herself. This is not the life she imagined. But it is the life she has. And she has made her peace with it, quietly, the way you make peace with things you never had a choice about. She is not waiting for anyone anymore. She stopped doing that a long time ago. Until the night a familiar face walks through the door - and three brothers who left her behind must now face what their absence built. Because blood doesn't forget. And neither does Riley.

The world is a big place. Amazing people do amazing things almost everyday; setting records or breaking them, or even creating more advanced technology. However, not all people are amazing. My name is Sung Jin-Woo, a twenty-year old who's worked a bunch of different jobs. Having skills whatsoever to display, I barely earned the required money by working multiple jobs... at least until I happened to find myself in this weird and dangerous place. In the end, as I was accepting death, I suddenly received a strange power, a quest log that only I could see, a secret to leveling up that only I know about! If I trained in accordance with my quests and hunted monsters, my level would rise. Changing from the weakest the strongest!

They say a disciple should never fall in love with their master. Respect them. Trust them. Follow them. But never love them. For Sam, that rule was broken the moment he looked into the golden eyes of the woman he admired more than anyone else-his shīfu. She was his mentor. His greatest inspiration. The one who taught him to wield his spear, to protect others, and to stand against the horrors of the Hollows. She could never be anything more. Then she betrayed him. When they were sent on a mission by Mayor Mayflower to investigate Lemnian Hollow, she left him behind to die. The woman he loved... The woman he trusted... The woman he would have given his life for... Walked away. Now living in New Eridu, Sam carries the scars of that betrayal while taking on dangerous Hollow commissions alongside proxies like Wise and Belle, whose own ties to the Hollows begin to intertwine with his search for answers. With powerful Ethereals emerging, forgotten secrets surfacing, and old bonds refusing to stay buried, he finds himself on a path that leads back to the one person he never wanted to see again. But some questions refuse to stay unanswered. Why did she abandon her him. And if she truly never cared... In a city where trust can be more dangerous than any Hollow, Sam must decide whether to seek revenge, search for the truth, or risk giving his heart to the woman who broke it. Because sometimes the deepest wound isn't the one that nearly killed you. It's the one left by the person you loved most.

"Abandon your fears! Look ahead! Go forward! Never stop! If you retreat, you'll only grow old. If you fear, you'll die!"

Roscaelifer knows Eldreda Sunbringer as an untouchable leader-a brilliant inventor whose light guides an entire city. Ren Shirogane knows the woman hidden beneath that title. As Eldreda's personal assistant and butler, Ren devotes himself to protecting her from exhausting meetings, unfinished meals, and her own relentless dedication. Yet beneath his gentle appearance and trembling hands lies a past he has tried desperately to bury. Long before he became her servant, Ren was a warrior known as Raiden, a soldier who survived the Fall of the Old Capital while countless others were lost. Now, as his quiet admiration for Eldreda begins to grow into something far more dangerous, a mysterious winged woman named Remielle suddenly enters his life. Playful, captivating, and impossible to understand, Remielle quickly forms an unexpected connection with him. But behind her charming smile lies a deadly secret: She has come to Roscaelifer to assassinate the Sunbringer. Caught between the woman who gave him a new purpose, the stranger slowly capturing his heart, and the violent past threatening to reclaim him, Ren must decide where his loyalty truly belongs. Because in a city built upon hope, love may become the spark that saves them all- -or the flame that finally burns everything away.

Keď Jaxa uprostred noci kontaktuje Raven Cross, hlučná a nebezpečne charizmatická bojovníčka z PIT arény, dostane sa k tajným dátam označeným ako PROJECT FLOOD.

Spolu s technickou géniusku Mia Torres, hackerom Noah Reyes a ďalšími spojencami začína Jax chápať, že boj o prežitie nebude len o úteku... ale o celej budúcnosti ich sveta.

SPOILER ALERT!!! DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS POINT IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED STRANGER THINGS!!! THE BLURB INCLUDES SPOILERS!! *** Vecna is gone. The battle is over. And everyone in Hawkins has finally begun to move on ...except Mike Wheeler. Eighteen months after Eleven's sacrifice, he still returns to the same place every chance he gets, holding onto the hope that maybe-somehow-she isn't really gone.

Four years have passed since Yusef Hyuga graduated from the Soul Reaper Academy. Now a member of Squad Nine, Yusef has earned the title The Black Raijin, but the mysteries surrounding his birth, his connection to the Hollows, and the strange interest others have taken in him have only deepened. Meanwhile, in Karakura Town, an ordinary teenager named Ichigo Kurosaki is about to awaken to a destiny that will shake the balance of the worlds. One forged in darkness. One born beneath the light. Two warriors walking opposite paths... Yet destined to collide. As ancient conspiracies awaken, friendships are tested, enemies emerge from the shadows, and the line between justice and truth blurs. The storm is coming.

"To protect what remains." With those words, the Hollow Knight departed. There were no more Pantheons to ascend. No gods left unresolved. No further trials hidden within the endless architecture of Godhome. The long procession of contests had reached its natural conclusion, and the place itself possessed nothing more to offer. So the Shade Lord left. They did not depart enlightened. They departed thinking. But not immediately toward Hallownest. There was no longing drawing it home, no duty compelling its return. They wandered, and in wandering measured the silence that follows the end of purpose. Only much later did They return. But not because Hallownest could still be saved. That possibility had long since passed beyond even consideration. They returned because another truth had revealed itself: Hallownest is beyond salvation. But it may still suffer violation. --- For the image cover - credits to "Descent" on Instagram. Image edited - by me.

Justice is easy to preach from the safety of the Seireitei. Born in the lawless depths of North Rukon District 80, Yusef learned that survival often comes before justice. After a mysterious power awakens within him during a Hollow attack, he is thrust into the Shin'o Academy as both a prodigy and a threat to be watched. As a student in the Academy, Yusef dedicates himself to, training, guiding and protecting those the Soul Society has forgotten. But while he strives for his goal to have a safer reality, an even greater mystery lies buried inside himself. There is a voice that has protected him since childhood. A name he has never questioned. And a truth that reaches back to the creation of the Hōgyoku itself. Some storms descend from the heavens. Others were never meant to exist.

After a fateful encounter changed the course of his life, (Y/N) started on his path as a Soul Reaper, and joined the Gotei 13. Not out of a sense of duty or a thirst for battle, but too honor the fallen and spend his time with those he values. Because time, after all, is fleeting and unrelenting. Death comes for all of us, so how will you, while you have it, choose to spend your life? When Rukia goes missing in the World of the Living, he sought out to find her, only to discover someone that would change his life once again. _________________________________________________________________________________ I don't own the characters or the story of Bleach.

Kurosaki Ichigo woke up in a hospital room, all confused and in pain until a kind doctor told him what happened. Now he is back to school with some students looking at him weirdly, not that they did not before, but why Chad and Tatsuki is among them?
