A small message from the author himself. Just to let you know I write this book for fun and also so that there are more books with Hollow Knight in it.
If there are any mistakes with my grammar I'll fix them right away but I need someone to tell me those mistakes. I also take suggestions to be it worlds or things but If I don't know much about the world then I might not do it.
Also, the Mc will develop throughout the story so if you read for a while you will notice changes with the MC.
Also, I'm going to make the MC act like me just to make him more unique. Anyways enjoy the chap.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
I stabbed the Flukemon upper half and used Purgatory to kill the small dog one. I looked at the body on my nail and thought 'That's what you get for trying to ambush me.' I then took the body off of my nail and T-bagged it.
I walked around the sewers with caution and a bit of annoyance. 'I fucking hate this! Why couldn't I just get an item that lets me teleport!? Now I'm in this dirty sewer while constantly hearing sounds that feel like they came out of an ASMR!' I thought while cleaning my nail.
Though I do have to admit that I did learn a few things while in the sewers such as. My active item will only charge when there are no enemies in the area that I'm in.
I walked forward while looking at my system I looked at the quest tab curiously and saw that it still displayed the quest that I completed.
While I was looking at the quest I remembered that I had integration. 'Why didn't I use this ability more!?' I thought.
'I could have been using integration to get stronger! You know what? I should just use the damn ability.' I thought.
'Wait how do I use the ability?' I thought while scratching my chin. My arm then ripped apart into many tentacles armed with sharp teeth the sight shocked me 'This didn't happen when I integrated the Weaver DNA!' I thought.
Surprisingly I didn't feel any pain when my arm ripped apart. I aimed my arm at the wall and the tentacles got to work they easily tore through the wall and devoured the metal.
[*Passive Skill Obtained! Iron Body(Passive): Definitely harder than stone. Increases Endurance by 5.*]
'Hmm, that's pretty good though I would have liked to get an active skill.' I thought. I then continued through the murky sewers with no idea of where the exit was.
The sounds of Flukemons and other types of Flukes made me paranoid due to me not being able to tell where they came from. Then suddenly all of the sounds stopped I paused for a second questioning why they went silent I took out my nail in case any fluke decides to face me.
I continued to walk forward albeit slower than I was before. Now I only heard the swishing of water made by my movements. I then heard rain? I began to walk faster I then made it to the exit a tunnel leading upwards into the City Of Tears the center of Hollownest.
I took out the mantis claws and then a realization came upon me 'How do I use these things? I thought while inspecting the mantis claws I decided to try something out. I stuck the mantis claw into the wall and pulled myself up 'Ooooh that's how I use it.'
I jumped to the other wall and used the mantis claw again I missed and fell down. I hit my head on the floor I held my head while getting up. 'This isn't going to be easy.' I thought while attempting to climb again.
After 13 attempts I managed to claim the wall. I put my hand on the manhole cover and took it off I hauled myself out of the tunnel. I stood up and how dirty I was my cloak now covered with brown stains I thought that the rain would clean off my cloak.
I put the manhole cover back on and walked out.
*Pitter-Patter*
The gentle rain soaked my cloak while washing away the stains. The dim lights lit up the area while the soft sound of rain echoed throughout the city. Tall buildings loomed over the city I moved forward as a soft and elegant voice sang.
The city seemed to be devoid of any citizens I looked around and noticed some people walking beside the railing while holding umbrellas. 'Well, at least I know that this place isn't abandoned.' I thought.
My footsteps echoed as I suddenly felt like I was being watched. I looked around and then looked at one of the massive buildings. In one of the windows, there was a big bug with his body hidden by darkness he seemed to be wearing a cape he stared at me before turning around and leaving.
'Was that the Soul Master? No, I doubt that he noticed me already I literally just entered the city so it wouldn't make sense for me to have found me.' I thought.
After that, I continued on while enjoying the sight of the city. But there wasn't really much to enjoy since most of the city is just buildings there wasn't even a statue anymore. I wasn't disappointed though I was really needing a more modern civilization.
I found a bench and decided to sit down on it and rest for a few seconds. I heard walking from behind me I paid no mind to it.
A bag was suddenly placed over my head I tried to rip the bag off of my head but it was held down. I tried to take out my nail but it seemed to be missing I was losing my consciousness. I heard multiple whispers behind me as the man began to choke me.
My vision began to blur as I seeped into unconsciousness.
