The Hollow is an apparition in this world, who came here from the afterlife. They are the spirits of the dead who longed for comfort, but found only suffering, misery and a harsh death during their life.

They haunt the world of the living because they were commanded by the King of the Dead, who resides in the afterlife.

The King, who rules over all dead, wishes to bring all the living under his rule, and for that he needs soldiers. Many soldiers. For in the current time, powerful adversaries rule over the world of the living.

One who created all that is. One who wishes to corrupt all that the Creator made. And those who reside in the deserts. Each one of these adversaries dwarf the King’s power should they fight in the living world.

But. Should they ever visit the King’s domain, they will find themselves powerless before him and capable of nothing except submission. This is why the King never leaves the realm of the dead. And why he has not yet been corrupted.

All of the dead, who reside in both the realm of the living and the dead are his subjects. And though they do not know it, nor do they admit it, they are all powerless to oppose his rule.

But the Hollow’s, they are different. The King of the Dead released these tormented souls into the world of the living, out of pity for them.

Each Hollow is given the choice of either freedom or servitude. Whatever choice they make, their actions remain the same. To go out into the human realm and claim partners.

Every Hollow seeks to gain that which they never had while they were alive: happiness.

This is why they haunt the human world. Even though there aren’t many who can see them, they are certainly among humans. The only one who will see a Hollow is a possible candidate for the spot of partner in the un-life.

That is, if he doesn’t freak the F-out.

At first sight, the Hollow is the scariest thing a human can see. When one looks at them, they see their death, and if that person is afraid of death, he will flee like a coward. This tells the Hollow that that human is not fit for them and they seek another partner.

Most partners will flee at the sight of a Hollow, because it is not the fear of a ghost that besieges them, it is the fear of dying in a most painful and excruciating way.

Once a courageous partner is found, he will try to strike down the Hollow, but he won’t be able to touch it. That is when the Hollow embraces the human, sharing her memories with him and her reasons for existing there in that form.

This calms the human and makes him see reason. That is also when the Hollow’s appearance changes to that of a beautiful ghost, who can share her afterlife with her partner.

<p class="MsoNormal">Sometimes it happens that a Hollow’s compatible target is a Hero. And if that Hero is also guarded by an Angel or a Seraphim (Higher class of Angels), it will turn into a dispute.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Angel or Seraphim will become able to see the Hollow and will engage it in combat. The Hollow cannot fight back, and will only be purged by the Angel’s holy light. But this does not kill it, no.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Angel’s light will give life to the Hollow, returning her to a human form, one which the Hero will take pity on.

<p class="MsoNormal">After protecting the humanized Hollow in this matter, a relationship will begin blooming between the two, and it develops into just a normal human family residing in the realm of the living.

<p class="MsoNormal">This too is the dead King’s plan, for each partner the Hollow selects will eventually come to the realm of the dead and become the King’s servant.

<p class="MsoNormal">The men who mate with a Hollow which accepted them without the intervention of an Angel, will become an acolyte.

<p class="MsoNormal">An acolyte is the potential rival of an incubus, but under the dead King’s servitude. Their purpose is to mate with those of the undead realm and create more servants for their King.

<p class="MsoNormal">They can disguise themselves as a normal human man. By doing so, they will target human women, converting them into ghosts. These ghosts go out into the world to find partners which they can turn into acolytes.

<p class="MsoNormal">The female partner’s an acolyte mates with can birth both males and females.

<p class="MsoNormal">Normally an acolyte does not stay very long with his wife because his King demands him to spread his influence and grow his kingdom. The only exceptions are the Hollow’s. They keep their acolyte all for themselves.

<p class="MsoNormal">The acolyte’s and the Hollow’s despise the demon Lordess and all her subjects. They will try to claim the dead which have not yet subjugated themselves to the temptations swelling within and exorcise them.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Exorcising them only removes the influence of the demon Lordess: the lust and the need of demonic energy. All this being replaced by spiritual energy, which comes from the realm of the dead. <ac_metadata title="MGE - Manomo Fan Creation - The Hollow"> </ac_metadata>
