   Summary

   The Pure Vessel might be the worst possible bug for someone to reincarnate into.

   At least their gender dysphoria is cured.

   Now they just have to pretend to be hollow until they're strong enough to take on the Radiance.

   Summary

   "Save them. All of them."

   Dropped right outside of Hallownest at the onset of the Infection, a nobody man-turned-moth is tasked with preventing the oncoming apocalypse, by any means necessary.

   But what can one mere mortal do in the face of divine wrath?

   Improvise, adapt, overcome.

   Rise to the challenge.

   Or die trying.
