A village quietly nestled in the middle of a seemingly endless forest has one rule-don't leave. The small population demands strict regulation to keep their people safe, but Sierra has never believed that being held captive was the best way to help people grow. She's always wanted to venture beyond the settlement into the forest after countless legends told by the village elder, or in books. 

Travelers often times come into the inn Sierra works at, confirming her suspicions about the rumors. One in particular has always caught her eye. It's the story of an ancient, endless abyss that places itself near a towering cliff. It's said to be the source of all negative, malicious spirits that lurk in the forest around the settlement, so it's forbidden for anyone to explore this abyss.

It's also told in the legend of the abyss that there is a voice that talks to anyone courageous enough to go directly against the rules of the settlement, luring them into the abyss as prey so that they may fall forever and never return.

Sierra intends to prove the residents of the town wrong. After hearing about the abyss from a pair of travelers, she sets out to try to explore it, and there's no telling what the truth is about this trench...

The Hollow Pact by reading4life27
51 parts Complete
When Ren Holloway, a fiercely independent and slightly chaotic high school junior, stumbles across a hidden ritual in the woods outside her sleepy town, she accidentally becomes bonded to a forgotten creature of the Veil - an ancient plane between life and death. Now cursed (or blessed?) with abilities no one should have - like glimpsing past traumas through touch, sensing when something isn't alive, and sometimes... speaking with things that shouldn't speak - Ren is caught in a centuries-old battle between supernatural forces that have been feeding off her town for generations. The pact is unstable. The creature wants freedom. And something else wants her dead before she figures out why the Veil is thinning - and who caused it. 🧍‍♀️ Main Character: Ren Holloway Personality: Hyper-observant, sarcastic under pressure, uses humor to deflect. Doesn't trust easily. Background: Lost her brother under mysterious circumstances years ago; she's been "the weird girl" ever since. No one believes her when she says the forest is wrong. Skills: Not magical, but freakishly good at puzzles, rituals, languages, and uncovering secrets. Flaws: Impulsive, emotionally repressed, tends to push people away to avoid being hurt. 🐚 The Entity: "The Hollow One" Ren calls it "Echo" (sarcastically at first, but it sticks). A shapeless, ancient being bound to her soul - once a guardian, now corrupted. Speaks in whispers only she can hear. Doesn't understand humanity but is curious about Ren. Not necessarily evil, but extremely morally gray. Feeds on fear and memory. Slowly begins to regain pieces of its identity through Ren's actions.

深渊巨人之战

26 parts Ongoing

At the edge of the pitch-black abyss rift, young Lin Yuan witnesses his parents torn apart by the shadow of a giant, their blood staining the earth. In that moment, the forbidden bloodline of the ancient gods awakens-the "Power of Devouring" roars like a beast, allowing him to consume his enemies in a single bite, yet it silently erodes his soul. Unbeknownst to him, this is merely the beginning of a conspiracy: humanity is but a pawn on the ancient gods' chessboard, nobles secretly collude with the abyss, and betrayers lurk among the closest allies. Every step deeper into the rift hides deadly peril: shadow clones tear through the void, foreshadowing a fractured fate; sky-burning flames incinerate foes but ignite the darkness within. The Giant King's awakening roar echoes as billions of monsters surge forth-who is friend, who is traitor? Lin Yuan leads iron-blooded hunters and the rebel poor, plunging into the labyrinth's depths, where every reversal hangs by a thread-devour the gods, or be devoured by them? The truth closes in like a blade: will the secrets of his bloodline overturn the world, or destroy it all? *Battle of the Abyss Giants*-on the edge of the cliff, every heartbeat is deadly tension!
