Birth of a Monster | 1 | The Hollow King Novel Series
2 parts Complete MatureDeath was supposed to be the end.
For Justin Mikati, it was just the beginning.
Crushed under the wheels of a delivery truck, Justin awakens to an impossible offer from an ancient entity known only as The Solver. Reborn in the savage world of Vael'ari as the weakest creature imaginable-a common slime-he discovers that evolution is more than survival. It's conquest.
With acidic hunger and an iron will, Kael devours everything in his path. Beasts. Magic. Knowledge. Power. Each kill makes him stronger, each evolution unlocks terrifying new abilities. But when he forms an alliance with Seraphine, a daemon with her own bloody agenda, Kael learns that true strength isn't measured in claws and venom alone.
The abandoned goblin ruins of The Hollow become his fortress. Outcasts and monsters flock to his banner, drawn by promises of protection and purpose. But leadership comes with a terrible cost-each follower he names drains his very soul, binding their fate to his in ways that could destroy them all.
Word spreads of the slime king rising in the north. Heroes sharpen their blades. Zealots cry for holy war. Ancient powers stir in the deep places of the world, sensing a threat that could reshape the very foundations of Vael'ari.
To survive what's coming, Kael must evolve beyond monster, beyond ruler, beyond anything this world has ever seen.
In a realm where only the strong survive, can a creature born from nothing claim everything?
The Hollow King rises. The world will never be the same.
A visceral dark fantasy where every evolution comes at a price, every alliance bleeds, and power is seized one brutal bite at a time. For readers who crave the strategic depth of Overlord with the relentless progression of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.
