    Imagine being Kalameet, one of the only non-Gwyn beings to have been spared by the infestation. All your life, you've been hounded by Hollow godlike abominations wielding giant flaming greatswords. Your nightmares are filled with pictures of this sword and its grossly incandescent aura, coming ever closer. Finally, you take to the skies, and for a moment, you feel like it's going to be alright. You're safe now. Out of reach. Free.
    Then you take a giant fucking flaming greatsword to the ribs. Out of nowhere.

    imagine a TV show or anime about this. a man, trapped in a purgatorial hellscape of giant men with flaming swords, unable to die but also unable to escape, grits his teeth and begins to formulate a plan. starting from nothing, each of the thousands of Gwyns is an impossible threat. but he begins to outwit them, and starts accumulating power - ever and ever more power - until he can actually stand up to the Gwyns. of course, he cannot fight them all, and each area poses a new problem, but, through sheer, spiteful force of will, motivated only by the genocide of the Gwyns that had made him suffer so much, he pushes on - until, reaching the final Gwyn, the last of its kind, he realizes he feels just as empty as he did before.

You can kill him in one shot but he keeps coming back and sometimes after he kills you you both come back for no reason. Jesus
