When the Lattice merged with Earth, everyone received a class. Everyone except Marcus Cole.A warehouse worker with no ambition and no future, Marcus should have died in the first wave. Instead, he discovered something the system doesn't recognize — a void where his class should be. A hunger that grows with every kill.
The Hollow Core.
While others level up through the Lattice's rules, Marcus absorbs power directly from the dead. Skills that should take weeks to earn, he steals in seconds. The system calls it an anomaly. The survivors call him a monster.
They're both right.
Now, with factions rising from the chaos and something far worse circling from beyond the rifts, Marcus faces a choice: join the new powers carving up what's left of humanity, or become something the Lattice never accounted for.
The system is watching. So is everyone else.
And Marcus is just getting started.
Genre: GameLit
