The orange virus

If you haven't beaten at least one of the hollow knight endings (preferably the "true ending") there will be spoilers. I do not own hollow knight, that belongs to team cherry. This is just something I did because I was bored. And major spoilers ahead so if you haven't already played hollow knight GO DO THAT RIGHT NOW AND ONLY COME BACK AFTER YOU BEAT RADIANCE. Done? Alright now we can get context.

This story takes place years after the events of the hollow knight "true ending" where the knight defeats the radiance. I wants make everything more human because I'm lazy, so I just used the "its been a few hundred years so yah they are different" excuse. Also this is technically about zombies, just not quite normally. The radiance has been sealed away for as long as it takes between the events of hollow knight, and this story. But now the radiance is starting to infect people's minds, but not through their dreams. This time one zombie kicks off an outbreak, and yah, they spread by biting people. But the radiance isn't the only one who shows up. The knight and the hollow knight reappear magically to deal with this threat. Also a few unexpected other characters appear. And can't forget the government research institute that has taken quite an interest in void, and hallownest, though the giant crack that appeared. May be a little cringe in the beginning, but bear with me. It does get better.
