Hollow Thread throws you into the raw, brutal world of Cainen—a kid born dead inside before he even took his first breath. No parents, no power, no future. The world’s elite are born with flashy gifts called RACs, but Cainen’s a void—a blank slate rejected by fate itself.

Left to rot after the death of his only caretaker, Cainen grows up in squalor, bullied and broken by kids with powers he can’t match. One day, something snaps. Armed with nothing but a chain and sickle, he becomes a whirlwind of violent revenge, tearing through the school halls like a madman.

The law can’t touch him fully—he’s a kid—but they mark him for exile once he’s grown. Knowing he’s got a ticking clock, Cainen turns even more dangerous, fighting anyone who crosses him, fueled by rage, survival, and the desperate need to prove he’s not nothing.

At fifteen, no power, no help—just pure fury and fists that refuse to quit. This is the rise of a storm no one saw coming.

The "Deadly Six" was a joke name when Cainen first said it.Just two pissed-off outlaws. No army. No crew.But now?


The district's watching.The streets are quieter.And candidates are crawling out of holes.


Word gets out: Cainen's holding a test.


Not some lame sign-up sheet. Not interviews. A test.


If you want in?You fight.You survive.And you impress him.


A circle is drawn in the district's wrecked plaza — ash, glass, and broken metal.Twelve wannabe recruits stand in the center.


Kaito leans against a wall eating chips.Lilith watches from a rooftop, legs crossed, bat in hand, singing quietly.


"Six will stand, six will fall… bleed for love, or not at all~"


Cainen (from above, voice booming):"Last three standing… get a seat at my table."


He drops a smoke grenade and disappears into the crowd as the fight begins.


By the end of it? Blood everywhere.One recruit stood out — didn't just survive, they styled on the rest.


Name: Rekka "Crater Mouth" DusaiAge: 17Power: Uses gauntlets made from meteor shards. Every punch sends out a micro-shockwave, cracking the ground like a quake.Attitude: Loud, cocky, and stupidly loyal. Claims he's "the future king's right hand" even though nobody asked.First Line (wiping blood off his cheek):"Damn, I thought this was a fight, not a funeral. Who else want smoke?"


Rekka: "Hell yeah! What's my code name?!"


Later that night, Lilith corners Cainen. Not Kaito — Cainen.


Lilith (smiling wide): "You didn't ask me to fight."


Cainen (glaring): "You're not part of this."


She disappears, but the threat lingers.


DMK: "If she doesn't join… she'll break what you're building."


Three members now.The Deadly Six has begun.Still outnumbered.Still outgunned.
