Demon Blood, Maiden Vail

At just twelve, **Lin Yuan** begins his emotional and physical awakening in the quiet village of **Qinshui**, nestled near spirit-filled forests. One night, he experiences a vivid dream of a veiled girl in a glowing field. Upon waking, he is confused and afraid by the unfamiliar sensations in his body. Seeking comfort, he confides in his mother, **Lady An**, who gently explains that he is growing up. Reassured by her warmth, Lin Yuan takes his first steps into adolescence. Meanwhile, unknown to the boy, his four powerful guardians—**Lady An** (his birth mother), **Lady Mingyan** (Tiger Demoness), **Lady Fengyan** (Golden Rock Bird Demoness), and **Lady Baihua** (Heavenly Python Demoness)—gather beneath the sacred Soul Tree to decide his fate. Recognizing that Lin Yuan is awakening spiritually and may soon attract unwanted attention from both demons and humans, they choose to send him to a human sect to protect his identity. They settle on **Flowing Sky Pavilion**, a sect tolerant of outsiders, and devise a plan: Lin Yuan will go as himself, while his siblings **Xiao Hu** (a tiger cub) and **Qingxue** (Fengyan’s daughter) will pose as spiritual companions. The mothers will stay hidden in a pocket realm linked to his soul. Lin Yuan begins his journey, carrying emotional gifts and blessings from the villagers. Along the way, he uses his training and gifts from his mothers to survive in the wild. He eventually rescues a mysterious woman—**Elder Yue Qingxuan** of the **Taiyin Sect**, who had crash-landed, poisoned and unconscious. Following Lady Mingyan’s strange but effective instructions, Lin Yuan heals and stabilizes the woman. Impressed by his skills and sincerity, Yue Qingxuan accepts Lin Yuan as her disciple, despite the sect being all-female—and despite the fact that Lin Yuan is male. Now bound by soul to a Taiyin Sect elder, Lin Yuan's destiny shifts dramatically. Though still naive and honest, he steps forward with courage, unknowingly entering a world of complex sect politics, hidden dangers, and legendary cultivation.

The hollow ones

Forensic psychologist Eleanor "Ellie" Grayson is called to evaluate Jonas Blackwood, the sole survivor of a gruesome massacre linked to an occult ritual. Jonas exhibits disturbing behavior—his eyes empty, his voice shifting, and his words cryptic: “We are many. We are hollow.” At first, Ellie assumes he’s suffering from severe psychological trauma, but when a wave of unexplained violence spreads through the psychiatric hospital where he’s held, she realizes something far more sinister is at play. As Ellie investigates, she uncovers a chilling legend—The Hollow Ones. Once human, these beings have been emptied of all emotions, desires, and identities, becoming vessels for an ancient, unknowable force. The more people they consume, the stronger their presence in the world. And the more Ellie learns about them, the more they take notice of her. Soon, she begins experiencing eerie symptoms—her reflection lags in mirrors, she hears voices whispering from the shadows, and she feels her emotions dulling as if something is siphoning her very soul. Desperate for answers, she joins forces with Dr. Alistair Kincaid, an occult historian who warns that once someone is marked by the Hollow Ones, the process of hollowing out is nearly unstoppable. As Ellie fights to retain her sense of self, she discovers that Jonas Blackwood’s excavation of an ancient burial site may have unleashed the Hollow Ones once more. The entities do not kill—they spread, infecting the minds and bodies of the living, transforming them into soulless husks. Now, Ellie must race against time to stop the spread before she loses herself completely. But how do you fight something that is already inside you? And if the price of survival means sacrificing a part of her humanity, is she willing to pay it? In a chilling blend of supernatural horror and psychological suspense, The Hollow Ones is a terrifying exploration of identity, possession, and the creeping fear of losing what makes us human.
