"The world died once. Now it’s waiting for him to finish the job… or save it." Lucien Vaelthorn was no one—just another student in a city that burned too quickly. When a cataclysmic event swallows his world in flame and shadow, he awakens in Valas En, a ruined realm lost to time, where magic obeys laws older than gods… and where his name still echoes, centuries after his death. Bestowed with the Hollow Core, a forbidden power that nullifies reality itself, Lucien finds himself hunted by warring guilds, ancient monsters, and gods who whisper from beyond the stars. Worse, they all believe he's the last heir of a legendary bloodline—the cursed House Vaelthorn, destroyers of worlds. Now, trapped in a realm where loyalty is a coin and power is survival, Lucien must unravel the secrets behind his blood, his power, and a prophecy that says he’ll either shatter the Realms forever… or rebuild them from ash. Perfect for fans of Solo Leveling, Omniscient Reader, and Fate/Zero, Epitaph of the Hollow Realms is a dark fantasy epic about destiny, identity, and the price of ultimate power.
