A God of hope.

Heath Dollen was a man in his 40s who lived in a suburban complex in Lund, Sweden. He was lonely and spent most of his days tending to himself after an accident that had left him scarred for life. Heath had travelled throughout Europe and Asia, painting and writing avidly about his experiences. When he is not in his apartment, he does his best to give warmth to others around him, helping people around his neighbourhood, aiding in light labour, cleaning the environment, and donating much of his money to people he verified that required it. Heath saw the downtrodden teen Elias drop his phone on accident from the other side of the street. To help, he thought of buying a new phone for this young man. He introduced himself and after gaining their trust, Heath and Elias became good friends and Heath was even nicknamed 'uncle.' There, he was introduced to many games, specifically sandbox games. Heath heard of Games like Minecraft and Roblox, but after being introduced to 7 Days to Die, Cities: Skylines, Dwarf Fortress, Enshrouded, Going Medieval, Valheim, Project Zomboid, Rimworld, Vintage Story and more. Heath became an avid gamer while also gaining strength by replacing some of his joints with prosthetics and managing his exercises and diet. It was slow progress, but his life became more fulfilling than ever. Now he had a family to look forward to! But at one point, while Elias was helping with Heath's troubles, he spotted a man who appeared lost, walking across the street in traffic, yet was somehow never hit. Heath said aloud that they should be careful there and asked if they needed assistance. The man, that 'thing,' turned to him. Now walking towards Heath robotically, yet avoiding the vehicles like a phantom, they soon came upon him. Once close enough, its features were noticed: A beautiful, yet uncannily androgynous face, eyes that appeared too clear and glassy, and skin that was too perfect with no features of wrinkles or pores and no hair throughout. A voice that sounded harmonic with the world spoke, yet their mouth never moved. "Perfect." A melodic sound, one expected for a tenor, it captivated Heath but simultaneously scared those around him, then. . . Suddenly, Heath blacked out. Hearing the cry of Elias for him. He left this world.

BLEACH: HOLLOW

Sombravida transmigrates into the world of Bleach, awakening not as a Soul Reaper or a Quincy, but as a Hollow—one of the most despised existences in all realms. In Hueco Mundo, Hollows are not born equal. Newly formed Hollows exist only on instinct, driven by hunger and fear, hunted by Soul Reapers and devoured by stronger Hollows alike. To hesitate is to be erased. To stagnate is to be consumed. From the very first moment, Sombravida understands a brutal truth of this world: compassion has no place at the bottom of the food chain. Yet even among monsters, evolution exists. By devouring others and surviving endless slaughter, Hollows can transcend their limits—transforming from mindless beasts into Menos, then Adjuchas, and finally the near-mythical Vasto Lorde. Each step upward demands not only power, but the suppression of madness and the preservation of self. Most fail. Many lose their identities long before they lose their lives. Sombravida refuses both outcomes. Cornered by stronger predators, hunted by Soul Reapers, and trapped in a desert where strength is law, he sharpens his will through adversity. He learns restraint where others succumb to frenzy. He learns patience where others rush toward annihilation. In a realm that strips monsters of reason, Sombravida clings to consciousness as his greatest weapon. Fate, however, is never kind to those who struggle upward. Just as Sombravida begins to carve out a place for himself, the world reminds him that labels—Human, Hollow, monster—are nothing more than excuses used by the powerful. In the eyes of the realms, existence itself is a sin. But if humanity is defined by origin alone, then what meaning does survival have? If monsters can think, choose, and endure… Then what truly separates the hunter from the prey? Step by step, battle by battle, Sombravida climbs—not to become a hero, nor to reclaim humanity, but to stand at the very peak of Hueco Mundo and prove a single truth: In the world of death, only those who keep their will can decide what they are.

One Piece: Trust Me Marines, I’m Nothing But Loyal!

First year in the Marines “Loyalty, Justice, Courage!” Fifth year in the Marines “If you don’t take it, and I don’t take it, then how could Admiral Sengoku ever take it? And if Admiral Sengoku doesn’t, how are we supposed to move forward?” Tenth year in the Marines “Fleet Admiral Sengoku, why won’t you stand up and clash head-on with the Five Elders in Mary Geoise?” That year, Ortoren enlisted as a fresh recruit, his head full of ambition—dreaming of rising through the ranks and seeing the world for himself. Years later, Ortoren became commander of G-5, leading nearly eighty thousand elite frontline Marines. By then, loyalty was all he had left to cling to. Later still, he rose to Admiral of Marine Headquarters, entrusted with overseeing the New World. With hundreds of thousands under his command, his power rested on one simple truth: “The Five Elders praise my loyalty and courage, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku treats me as if I were his own son.” In time, Ortoren commanded armies numbering in the millions. At his word, the seas themselves seemed to tremble. One day, as he walked through Marine Headquarters, a group of officers suddenly surrounded him. They overpowered him—the strongest man on the seas—and draped a yellow robe across his shoulders. “It’s cold, Admiral,” they said. “You should wear something warmer.” Looking into the earnest eyes of those officers, Ortoren let out a long, weary sigh. “After all these years of loyalty, my name is ruined in an instant. You’ve truly done me in.”
