Hollow Knight roams his lands, proud of his accomplishments. Although the palace gets invaded from enemy insects from time to time, that doesn't break his spirits. Although one day, a large hoard of infected enemies flood the castle, all of which having their distinctive orange bubbles of the radiance bulging out of their bodies, as well as his worst enemy, the leader of all the infected bugs, Void Knight. He struggles in the fight, and feels like it's no use and he should just give up.
