1st person pov for now :

aaahh the vast emptiness of space , so calming.... Wish I had a laptop to play Hollow knight rn

I'm practically an addict

Being a millionaire and an addict is not a good thing

Got an incurable disease , spent the rest of my days playing , until I finished it , everything in it

My life felt empty , and since I couldn't be cured and I was gonna die regardless , I decided to use all my fortune to book me a ticket to the nearest black hole

Yup! Black hole! I wanted to at least be the millionaire who died to a black hole , not a disease

Oh! I can feel the pull already

I wasn't the best rich dude out there either but what am I gonna do

Still wishing for Hollow knight though

Man I wish I finished hollow knight , instead I memorized everything about the Grimm troupe

At least I met the greatest game character I've ever seen

Grimm

I fell in love with the lore , the journal poems , the troupe

The last boss I fought

Nightmare King Grimm

It was hard

Well in these final moments

I'll recite those words

_

Shadows dream of endless fire

Flames devour and embers swoop

One will light the nightmare lantern

Call and serve in Grimm's dread troupe

A spark of red lights darkest dream

Scarlett nightmares bright and wild

Visions dance and flames do speak

Burn the father , feed the child

Dance and die and live forever

Silent voices shout and sing

Stand before the troupe's dark heart

Burn away the nightmare king

__

And darkness

Red lights I'm trying to enjoy my darkness folks

Ugh a cave...wha?

And why am I... beating?

And on the ceiling?

.
.
.
Ok.

Why am I a heart on the ceiling of cave?

Ok , I think I can see someone

Hello! Hello!

Oh come on...wait horns?

Where the heck am I?!
___

A really really long time skip

___

So , turns out I went to hell

As a heart

Yup

But not just any heart! I'm the nightmare heart!

The one from hollow knight

And for some reason I went to past hell but that's not important , I'm nightmare heart!

And no one could see me... until I remade everything related to the Grimm troupe

Now I possess the body of Grimm ....or a body modeled after him with great accuracy

No one could see me before because I was in the nightmare realm , still made a nightmare king body here though

Just in case someone pops in

And I may or may not have screwed up slightly

After creating everything I may or may not have accidentally forced a ritual upon myself ,otherwise I die..wow I suck..but! On the bright side I got a lot of power

That ritual was very similar to the one from hollow knight , but instead of the flames of a kingdom's fall , it was the flames of a dream gone wrong

Nightmares!

And now

"Welcome everyone to the Grimm colosseum! I hope you enjoy today's dance because today some overlords decided to settle their quarrels here , so let's your applaud for our competitors!" I said before teleporting to a certain vip seat

"Do you really have to call it dancing?" Said a owl like demon

"It's better Stolas" I say smiling "much better, every fight is a dance in it's own way"

"You say it like you're not the person who causes nightmares at a whim" said Stolas smiling

Ahh Stolas , a close friend of mine

We became friends after we fought because we looked similar

Who started the fight? I don't remember it was a long long time ago

When Stolas was young and I barely created the first Grimm

But being the King of nightmares wasn't just fun but it was a job as well , having to complete a ritual that was very similar to the one in hollow knight

Luckily I have Grimmkin and Troupe members, so i need no tiny knight to help me

Collecting nightmares , giving nightmares , running the troupe and all

That was the job of

Grimm the nightmare king
