The Last Contender | Ongoing

In the world of Eridrith, power isn't given- it's taken. Every decade, five factions send their best contenders to compete in The Dominion Trials, a brutal game where reality shifts, illusion kills, and only one can claim the Hollow Crown.

Kayla Rune never wanted the throne- she only entered to find out what happened to her older brother, Kael Rune, who won the last trials... and vanished. But as she fights through the grid, she sees visions of past rulers trapped in an endless nightmare.

The hollow crown isn't a prize. It's a prison. Kayla has two choices: win the trials and be consumed by the crown or destroy the dominion before it claims her.

One thing's for sure- she's not here to play the game.
