Void-Touched Hollow-Walker

Homo vacuus nihilis / “Periphery Walkers” / “Reality’s Mistakes”

“It was a hollow-walker. But wrong. It phased through walls, tore reality itself, and whispered things that made my nose bleed. The Periphery changes everything it touches.”

Quick Reference

Void-Touched Hollow-Walker - Reality’s Mistake

Description

Void-touched hollow-walkers are what happens when Stage 4 corrupted humans reach The Periphery and survive. The Periphery’s reality-warping effects transform them further, creating beings that exist partially outside normal reality. They phase through matter, tear holes in space, and whisper things that cause madness.

They’re hollow-walkers taken to an impossible extreme. Where normal hollow-walkers are Stage 4 corruption, void-touched are Stage 4 plus something else—something that shouldn’t be possible. They’re mistakes in reality, beings that break natural law just by existing.

Abilities

Weaknesses

Reality Anchors: Grounding effects Overwhelming Force: Can’t phase through everything Sanity: Their own minds are fractured

Transformation

Void-touched hollow-walkers are created when hollow-walkers reach The Periphery. Most die from the reality distortion. A few survive and are transformed further. The Periphery’s effects combine with their existing corruption to create something that shouldn’t exist.

They can no longer return to normal reality—they’re too changed. They exist in The Periphery, attacking anything that enters their domain, spreading madness and corruption in equal measure.

Loot

Void Essence: Extremely rare Periphery Map Fragments: Navigation aid Reality Shards: Reality manipulation Void-Touched Relic (Rare): Legendary, dangerous

“Void-touched hollow-walkers are proof that there are worse things than corruption. The Periphery takes what the Rot created and makes it worse. They phase through walls, tear reality, and whisper things that break minds. If you encounter one, you’re already too deep in The Periphery. Turn back. If you can’t turn back, pray. If prayer doesn’t work, you’re about to learn what lies beyond reality.”
