Chapter 31 - Chapter 31 – Kingdom of Hollowed Eyes

"To see him is to lose yourself."

The Last Vision – Eyes Turned Inward

There were no more stars. No more gods. No more time.

Only the Hollow Kingdom—a realm of skin and stone, faith and failure. All who walked it did so without eyes. Not because they were blind—but because sight no longer served them.

To gaze upon their king was to be undone.

So they gouged out their vision. They offered their eyes to the wind. They saw through pain, through memory, through his voice.

Jin sat upon his throne of wounds. He did not breathe. He did not move.

He was the axis around which oblivion spun.

The Final Pilgrim – A Boy With a Name

One came, alone.

He did not bow. He did not scream.

He simply stood.

A child with no god, no weapon, no power.

> "What are you?" he asked.

Jin tilted his head. His voice came not in words, but in pulses of thought that broke bones.

> "What you made me."

> "What your world begged for."

The boy shook his head.

> "We never wanted this."

Jin's silence was colder than death.

> "You wanted a savior." "But you only ever loved your monsters."

The boy's body began to dissolve. Not from power. From truth.

The knowledge of what Jin was—the culmination of all betrayal, abandonment, and forgotten pain—was too much to hold.

He turned to ash. A whisper. A final breath.

And Jin… closed his eyes.

For the first time in a thousand eternities.

The World Sleeps

There were no more battles. No more screams. No more prayers.

Only a hum. The heartbeat of a world shaped by vengeance. A kingdom that did not rise—it rotted upward.

And at its peak, the Hollow King remained.

Eternal.

Alone.

Victorious.
