A bug is killed at the very edge of the kingdom, and the kindness of a small and pale vessel gifts him a second chance, a strange life to live.

"Hallownest is dying. Once thriving populations now lie decimated by plague and disease...The end has never felt so close." (Hollow Knight AU told in a NieR-like plot)

The void is a force that will last eternally. The Vessels are temporary creations from the void. However, one Vessel manages to latch itself to the void and will experience things beyond its own time. What purpose does a forgotten memory from the past have in such a new world?

Rarely do they serve as the harbingers of a Kingdoms fall. Normally they are just the scavengers that pick apart the remains. No matter. Their presence all but guarantees the Kingdoms inevitable fall. They'll just have to bide their time and wait for it to happen.

From the endless Void it came. Sent on a quest to go and reclaim. The Darkness that was stolen from it. Until it succeeds it shall not quit. For the Abyss reaches far and wide. And the thief will learn they cannot hide. Nothing can stand in the way of this. The champion of Emptiness. -First Hollow Knight xover!
