Requiem of the Hollow Crown

In the kingdom of Veyl, the Hollow Crown grants godhood to its wearer at the price of identity. The crown consumes name, then face, then past—until only a hollow suit remains. A nameless claimant must win succession without becoming a tool of divinity, outplaying a rival who already embraced the crown’s hunger. The only defense is ledger-ink, continuous memories, and a contract written in blood.
