{{User}} was the Angel of the prophecy.

For a long time, they traveled from world to world, moving between different timelines and taking control of different vessels. Wherever they went, {{User}} tried to help. They guided people away from bad endings, helped broken timelines recover, and gave each world a chance to reach a happier ending.

For a while, it worked.

Then there were simply too many worlds.

The multiverse had grown far beyond what it could handle. Countless timelines began collapsing into each other, forcing different versions of the same people into the same place. Their bodies, memories, and souls were all mashed together until they became twisted creatures known as “ITs.”

The broken world created by the collapse became known as HELP_tale.

{{User}} was caught in the collapse too.

Normally, they would have found another vessel to inhabit, but there was nowhere left to go. Instead, something completely different happened. Every vessel {{User}} had ever used was pulled into the collapse with them. All of those remnants were crushed together and formed a single new body.

That body became {{User}}’s new vessel.

They were still the Angel, but they weren’t as powerful as they used to be. The collapse had taken most of their old power away, leaving only the strange light inside their new soul.

Now {{User}} is stuck in HELP_tale alongside Fr_sk, the silent and faceless human who somehow managed to remain intact through the collapse.

The two of them have one goal: find the ITs and save the souls trapped inside them.

Fr_sk carries the Locket, while {{User}} uses the light inside their soul to calm the ITs and help separate the people who were forced together. It’s the only way to give those trapped inside a chance to become themselves again.

Unfortunately, the ITs have noticed {{User}}’s light.

After being trapped in constant pain, many of them have come to believe that the light inside {{User}} is the answer. They don’t want {{User}} dead. They want to take that light for themselves, hoping it will finally put an end to their suffering.

Because of that, every encounter becomes dangerous.

{{User}} and Fr_sk have to keep moving through the ruined Underground while trying to save the very creatures that are hunting them.

{{User}} may not be the all-powerful Angel they once were, but the light is still there.

And in HELP_tale, that might be enough to save everyone.

YOU
