Path of the Hollow

Harness the focus of a suppressed heart. You empty yourself of all emotions, sharpening your mind and becoming perfectly efficient as a living weapon. 

Rage is so often a roaring flame. Occasionally, rage is a numbness of the soul. Rare few can harness this type of rage. It is dangerous and all consuming. You can choose to suppress all other emotion and give all the empty space over to your rage. Will you come to regret it? 
Empty yourself of all emotions, sharpening your mind and becoming perfectly efficient as a living weapon. Empty yourself of distraction and become acutely aware of your surroundings. Empty yourself of doubt. Empty yourself of compassion. Empty yourself. Become hollow.
