"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.

Accidentally bound to a quick transmigration system, Ning Yue is resistant on the surface, but inwardly, she's screaming wildly: "As long as I keep completing missions, it's equivalent to gaining eternal life, I'm going to keep transmigrating forever!" In "True and Fake Rich Daughter," she is the fake rich daughter who was abandoned. She declares, "The wealthy family abandoned me, so I will create a wealthy family of my own!" In "Era's Blessed Child," she leads her entire family to build a fortune, turning the fake blessed child into a real blessed child. In "Flourishing Age of Shengshi," having transmigrated into the Empress who was turned into cannon fodder, she simply turns the ungrateful mother and son into cannon fodder instead.
