Welcome to my world page! Here you can find all of my world/story stuff, recently moved from my character page! I've also decided to add character summaries to this page as well, since my character page is more for the full, complete descriptions of my characters, and no one wants to read all of that, lol.

If you're curious about my characters, this would be the place to start! As a sort of over-arching meta description, all of my characters are located in the same universe. Characters in the summary section are characters/pets that I am currently developing.

The bulk of the story takes place in two "realms": the surface/existence realm, and the anti-existence realm. Aethar is the primary world on the surface in regards to the story, but the surface realm also includes all of the surrounding galaxies. These two terms are often used interchangeably, the latter more often when comparing with the anti-existence realm.

Hover me!

Hover names for character summaries!

Character blurb/short description will go here, for better understanding. It took me a whole night to figure out this code, lol. Will people even read these?

Character summaries can be found further down but hovering names in the story section will bring up the summary as well!

Chapter One - The Origin

Long ago, just as worlds began to form in the vast emptiness of the universe, entities formed of pure energy also began to take shape. These were later known as the Verinu. Many of the Verinu simply drifted among the vacuum looking for purpose, and encounters between these primal beings were rare, but often destructive. Some remained formless, but others crafted physical forms drawn from their own growing imaginations. Meanwhile, the universal energy -- or soul energy -- continued to grow, flourishing the worlds and stars that dotted the cosmos.

Keio Keio, the Non-Existence Verinu / Vanished from Existence / Cryptic Keio, a mysterious individual shrouded in fog, accompanied by Fade the black bird. When he "vanishes" from the surface, most individuals fail to recall him. His innate knowledge of the realms make him a crucial source to Drak, but his madman cackles still make him fairly uneasy... , one of the more powerful Verinu, found a very promising planet that would soon house various forms of life - Aethar. He sensed the world soul, Eche Eche, the Surface World World Soul / Aethegard Commander / Recently Awoken Eche slept as the soul of Aethar, the surface world, nourishing all of the life that depend on his soul energy. He and his Aethegard army were awoken with the threat of the raven god, Kai. Taking the form of a deer, he is prepared to hunt down the remaining traces of the Insanity, before his nightmare becomes a reality. , in deep sleep within it. He encountered another Verinu, Dea Dea, the Anti-Existence Realm World Soul / Verinu / Fleshweaves Inhabitants Dea, the playful Verinu that formed a pact with Keio to become the anti-existence realm. She controls the entire realm of flesh and bone, and protects it from intruders and "criminals" who seek to cause harm. Out of boredom, she forms inhabitants from flesh and binds soul energy to them to spark them to life. , nearby. Exchanging wishes, they formed a contract: Dea would be granted power for the creation of a new realm anchored to Aethar, but affecting the rest of the known universe, drawing from the untapped loose soul energy flowing through the primary "surface" realm. This became known as the origin of the anti-existence realm. Ordeal, as a result, became the soul of the realm, and a soul link formed between the two worlds.

Two powerful individuals, Sen Sen, the Lord of the Abyss Consumer of Worlds / Sealed Power / Dark Matter Sen's natural form is one of a towering beast of dark matter, but he sealed it into the container around his arm when he arrived on Aethar and adopted a human form. He loves battling and maintains a tavern. He despises chaos, and sought to rid the world of the Insanity. Drak is his anti-existence counterpart. and Drak Drak, the Anti-Existence King Sen's Opposite / Soul Energy Master / Coffee Lover With the birth of one of the most powerful existence came Drak, the anti-existence king, the current ruler of the realm. Accompanied by Cer and Rain, he lives on the surface realm as an informant, staying hidden through his illusions. He is mute and - unlike Sen - prefers not to battle, dreading the moments when he must unsheathe his sword. , came into being, originating from the contract. While not quite a Verinu, Sen was formed from the energy emanating from the primal Aethar, and thus, because of the soul link, it created another entity within the anti-existence realm: Drak. Sen, once lost, was told by a Verinu named Mercury that his purpose was to consume worlds. He quickly gained power, enough to rival the Verinu, and so did Drak, as a result of the soul link. He came across a world and after consuming it, was tormented by the lost souls, and attacked Mercury as a result. He eventually became known as the Lord of the Abyss, and sensed something familiar within the small world of Aethar. While approaching the planet, he was ambushed by a powerful beam. A challenge that set the entire world in motion.

Chapter Two - The Empire

There were two gods of time. Kai

Kai, the Eternal Raven

Master of the Future / Corrupted / Blinded by Rage
Kai, the immortal, was able to gather countless amounts of soul energy by exploiting his visions of the future. However, it did not save him from the demon god, and he was drained of his blood and power, instilling a relentless rage that remained far past his fall into insanity.

, the eternal raven, who had dominion over the future, and Mourn

Mourn, the Timeless One

Keeper of the Past / Treasured Memories / Loves Flowers
Mourn, the immortal of the past, treasured the memories that the humans made on Aethar enough to intervene in the past in order to save the world. He had lost Kai, as well as much of his power, but he finally reappeared with a shower of petals to finish what he started.

, the timeless one, who had power over the past. An erratic and chaotic individual named Ishi

Ishi, the Demon God

Malicious Aura / Selfish Greed / Sealed Indefinitely
Ishi was driven mad with power after consuming countless souls, building a dark empire to rule. Their signature ability is the Insanity aura, causing Aethar to fall into war. Combined forces were able to seal them away at last, but the taint of their avarice forever changed history.

, the self-proclaimed demon god, had begun to consume countless souls and was leading the world of Aethar towards total destruction. Mourn, despite Kai's warnings, intervened in the past and shifted the timeline. Ishi still developed into the demon god in this new primary timeline, but the immediate destruction of the world had been averted; for now.

The demon god's most powerful weapon, the Insanity aura, quickly grabbed the attention of the gods of time, as well as Sen. The aura, which had already begun to spread, deteriorated all reason and was capable of driving most individuals into madness, and the most powerful of the fallen would be forever bound to the demon god's insane will.

With their power quickly growing, Ishi began to build an empire. With the help of the aura, the demon god was able to lure Kai into a trap. They appointed Actu Actu, the Ringmaster Runecaster / Amnesiac / Circus of the Underworld Bearing the heavy burden of taking his mentor's life, Actu the crocodilian runecaster was recruited by the demon god to craft weapons for the empire. When he lost, he was spared and his memory was wiped. With his new life, he created the Circus of the Underworld as a place for misfits and criminals like him to belong. , the runecaster, as their main assassin, general, and weaponsmaster, and they found a way to forge magical weapons by using the blood of the captured raven god. Both of Kai's eyes were extracted from him: one became Actu's keepsake, the other became the Eye of Foresight. Mourn, realizing that his intervention had led to the unexpected outcome of Kai's corruption, fled Aethar, drowned in sadness. As the demon god's insanity aura spread across the world of Aethar, Sen found the need to safelock his power, and approached Ili Ili, the Observer Astral Entity / Emotionless / Seal Magic Ili is an astral being of pure energy, void of emotion, tasked to maintain the realm's balance and stability, working closely with Sen to accomplish this goal. His physical form is unstable and therefore he keeps a close eye on Aethar from the vacuum of space, intervening only when necessary. , the Observer. In return, Ili asked for assistance in defeating Ishi. They launched a counterattack and managed to lock them away before they grew too powerful, however, Sen almost lost his sanity. Actu was defeated, but his life was spared, his memory wiped and his two most powerful weapons scattered to unknown parts of the world. Finally freed, Kai quickly fled to a different timeline, where he secluded himself in attempt to recover. Meanwhile, Mercury crash landed on Aethar in the present day, and was frozen in deep ice.

In the anti-existence realm, which had already grown much more powerful due to the soul energy leaked from the war on Aethar, Drak challenged Keio, the current ruler, for the throne, with the assistance of Zero

Zero, the Runecarver

Inventor of Rune Magic / Devoted / Sacrificed Self
Zero was a powerful and crafty anti-existence inventor that discovered rune magic, and utilized his inventions to assist in the revolution that overthrew Keio, the Shadow King. In the final fight, he gave up his life to ensure the plan ultimately succeeded.

, Imp, and Gallow, who quickly saw potential in Drak and assisted him in the fight. During the battle, Gallow clashed with Keio's personal bodyguard, Sevre

Sevre, the Soul Dealer

Shared Existence / Wields Soulfear / Keio's Guardian
Sevre's special power allows him to transfer his existence to another body, saving him from his demise at the hands of Gallow. With Soulfear, he captures and sells souls to his clients, and seeks to return his master to his former glory. He currently shares his body with Imp, a long-forgotten warrior.

. Sevre was defeated at the hands of the master marksman, but he managed to survive his fatal wounds by transferring his existence, fleeing from the fight. Imp and Zero, however, were lost.

In the throne room, Keio realized Drak had grown too powerful to overcome and he activated his failsafe: his specific refined power, an existence wipe. He successfully transcended to a non-existence, completely erasing his past, and any traces of him, from the entire realm. Although he was also afflicted with the memory gap, Drak seized the throne and control of the realm. From here, Ordeal and the rest of the anti-existence all believed that Drak had always been the king of the realm, with the Verinu long-forgotten and obscured in the darkness. Decades of peace followed, in both Aethar and the anti-existence realm, but it did not last. 52 years after the First Demon War, a group led by the mysteriously powerful Talor Talor, the Void Star Pop Star / CEO of Abyssic / The Mist Talor, the irresistible boy band heartthrob... with the entire arsenal of the weapon company Abyssic at his fingertips. He utilizes the Mist to completely manipulate his fans as well as his clients, in order to create a world filled with disorder and war, with him at the center. managed to locate and free the demon god from his prison. Ishi quickly fled, but Talor had already accomplished his plan.

Chapter Three - The Demon God's Return

As the Insanity aura began to spread again, it deeply affected the anti-existence realm. Drak left his kingdom to venture onto the surface world, Aethar, to ensure Sen does not lose, having almost lost his sanity last time. Years later, in a small town outside of Zephyr City, KL KL, the Immortal Hacker Uploaded Conscious / Prodigy Hacker / Underground Informant KL was unmatched in his ability to infiltrate any database he wished, bypassing even the most powerful digital security. With his greatest project, he uploaded his consciousness onto the internet, allowing him to freely manipulate it to the fullest. He resides as an informant, fleeing from his nemesis Decree. , a notorious hacker, began to create his revolutionary project while Ness Ness, the Innocent Plague KL's Brother / Contagion Host / Heartbeat Obsessed Ness relied on his brother for comfort, but when he was lost to him, Ness fled his home and became host to the Contagion, a remnant of the demon god. Consuming flesh and mind alike, it devours its victims completely out of Ness' control. Yet, Ness still hopes to hear the heartbeats he cherishes... if only at the end of a victim's life. , his younger brother, became more insecure. When KL transcended, successfully uploading his conscious to the Internet and becoming a powerful digital entity, Ness fled home at the news of his brother's betrayal and encountered the Contagion, a flesh-consuming disease that housed itself in his body. Decree Decree, the Knight of Justice Robot with Human Conscious / KL's Nemesis / Dept. of Defence Desiree was a government agent tasked to stop KL, but even with her expertise she was not able to finish her mission when she lost her life. She awoke to find her consciousness uploaded into a robot body. Fearing her future, she sought KL for two reasons: to stop his tyranny, and to find a way to escape her fate. , the government agent responsible for KL's capture, lost her life and had her conscious transferred as well, although hers was to a specially made robot body. She was prompted to continue her mission, while KL continued to establish himself as an information broker of the underworld.

Actu, who was given a new chance of life, established his Circus of the Underworld, bringing together numerous misfits and criminals that he encountered, including Gallow, who followed Drak to the surface realm but could not locate him. Actu kept his personal weapon and his runecasting, allowing him to gain respect from the other circus members. One of the members, Admyri, adopted Ness for a short while and he traveled with the troupe as they hopped from town to town.

Cer

Cer, the Watcher

Drak's Most Loyal / Artifact Eyes / Surgeon
Cer was a brilliant surgeon with a peculiar curiosity for the anti-existence that led him into a very tricky situation. He was saved by none other than Drak himself, who installed the Artifacts into him and requested his loyalty. He can see into the future and read minds with the Artifacts, both crucial to Drak's plans.

, a medical student, began his studies in Aeolus University to be a surgeon and eventually gained curiosity on the subject of anti-existence and dark matter. Elsewhere, several scientists, backed by a mysterious donor, began working on a secret project, wishing to create a being capable of discerning the two existence and dispatching of the anti-existence, which they were led to believe are responsible for various innocent deaths. This was created by successfully combining the two essences of existence, creating Rain

Rain, the Co-Existence

Created by Drak / Anti-Hunter / Pain Transfer
In a dark lab, a group of scientists formed Rain the co-existence, which was instilled with an endlessly growing pain which can only be transferred onto anti-existence. She hunted the anti-existence until she was challenged by Drak, who revealed to be her creator. She is able to shift physical forms, a power she eventually learned to control.

, the co-existence.

A child located Voidheart in his small village on Trinity Isle, and the weapon eventually made its way to a mysterious being known as Chrono. Not long after, Sevre, who had survived the initial attack and escaped to the surface, encountered and bound with Soulfear. These two weapons were the lost, prized weapons of Actu's now-forgotten past as the demon god's weaponmaster. He eventually became informed of the two, but to him, the weapons were shrouded in mystery.

Drak encountered Cer, in his desperate attempt to gather a top secret file, and he saved his life. After he was taken to safely, Cer's eyes were painfully replaced with the two Artifacts, enchanted eyes that granted him specific powers. After Drak revealed his identity, Cer swore his loyalty to him. They soon moved to a larger city, Hallow. KL had established a base here as well, and he and Drak formed a fairly formal partnership.

Drak was introduced to Keio here, who he immediately became very suspicious about. Keio, on the other hand, seemed to know a lot more about Drak. Despite the distrustful relationship, Drak valued the non-existence's knowledge about what is going on between the realms in order to monitor his kingdom.

Rain eventually located Drak, the prime target of her installed protocol to hunt down all traces of the anti-existence. Mid-fight, Drak activated the underlying loyalty program that he installed when he initially funded and watched over the project, and Rain also swore her life to Drak.

Sevre finally presented himself to Keio, dispelling all of the non-existence's doubts of him surviving the attack so long ago. Keio refused to trust Sevre upfront, but he insisted that his loyalty still lies firmly with him, and that he was willing to do all that it takes to help Keio regain the throne, whether he had planned to or not. For several years, Sen and Ili scoured the surface for any traces of the demon god. The Insanity aura, although in a much more suppressed form, was felt in a large portion of the globe, and they were unable to pinpoint its source. They feared that this was only the beginning of a greater attack, and they had to find Ishi before they were able to fully recover and unleash the aura. However, they were too late.

Chapter Four - The Insanity Unleashed

Drak, Sen, and Ili suddenly disappeared from existence, trapped in an unknown realm created by Otaye

Otaye, the Realmkeeper

Verinu / Sergeant General / Pocket Realms
Otaye Favari holds many roles: the Last Realm Master, the Sergeant General of the Department of Defense in Zephyr City, and the head of the Soul Knights project. He enjoys his tea parties from the shadows, waiting for the right moment to create his ideal world filled with war.

. With their most powerful threats successfully neutralized, the demon god unleashed their full potential, drowning the entire world of Aethar in the Insanity aura. With many of the weak-minded now under their control, they began to rebuild their empire. Within weeks, they commanded the destruction of many cities, and the world fell into an apocalyptic state. Towns were engulfed in fire, cities brought to ruin, with the Insanity completely deteriorating any chance of an organized counterattack.

During this time, Cer tasked himself with solving the mystery, having seen Drak in an insane, monstrous state in a dream. Cer received a special artifact from Rain in the form of a special candle, which he was able to use to locate Drak and return the others.

Already weakened from his return, the demon god's influence was able to successfully take root and drive Sen into insanity. He unsealed his powers and began to bring about the world's destruction, only to be stopped by Drak, who was able to remain sane. Drak had to resort to unleashing his sword, which he had sealed when he came to the surface. After a long and drawn battle, Drak was able to successfully bring Sen back to his senses, but the two sustained heavy injuries. It was in this moment of weakness that Ishi emerged from hiding and attacked, hoping to finish what they couldn't before. The two counterattacked, working together for the first time. However, even with their combined might, they realized they could not defeat the demon god on their own. By drawing upon the soul energy wrought upon by Sen's destruction, Drak was able to recover enough to draw Dea into the surface realm, although only for a brief moment. The area was engulfed in the flesh and cartilage structures of the anti-existence realm and mortally wounded the demon god. Ishi fled in fear, however, they were chased into a trap set by Ili, who received help from Mourn. In his last moments, the demon god saw the visage of the one that coerced them to this fate, and the flower petals that led to their ultimate demise.

The insanity began to dissipate from the two realms, and the Aethar began to recover from the war. Governments were re-established, cities slowly began to rebuild, and people began to go about their daily lives once more.

Although the Insanity aura was no more, its influence had already reached Kai in the alternate timeline, and he was finally awoken from his secluded slumber. Blinded by his vengeance and fear, he sought the opportunity to carry out revenge on his enemies - the mortals.

Chapter Five - The Raven's Vengeance

With Kai's return, the threat of the corruption remained. The raven god was bent on taking the world for his own, but he first had to dispose of the two biggest threats to his plan - Drak and Sen. He ambushed Drak, and Sen quickly joined the fight. The three clashed, and although the battle quickly ended with the raven god's fall, the two victors did not make it out of the fight unscarred, and Lily Lily, the Royal Healer Royal Healer / Shroud Nomad / Internet Celeb Recruited from the Shroud by the king himself, Lily was appointed as the Royal Healer of Drakar for her extraordinary soul healing. After following Drak to Aethar, she made her own mark by becoming a social media icon. She adores human culture. , an anti-existence specialized royal healer, decided to settle on Aethar after helping Drak recover. Although Kai's essence disappeared from the battlefield that day, he was eventually revived with the help of an unsuspecting fanatic. He returned to his physical form, but he fled to recover. This clash captured the attention of Mourn, who had been laying dormant and in hiding all this time, unable to face the fact that his intervention inadvertently created the demon god that corrupted Kai. Eche, the soul of Aethar, finally emerged from his sleep. Realizing the threat of the raven god, he called upon the Aethegard, his personal army, to help keep the peace and disrupt Kai's plans.

Mourn settled in Hallow and hid himself as a humble florist, while gathering information about Kai. Although he was prepared for the worst, he approached Drak and Sen and offered his help to them, admitting that it was his problem to solve. But he cannot do it alone.

While Mourn was collecting information from the denizens of Hallow, Actu's circus happens to stop by, and they meet. Mourn immediately senses a dark, familiar backstory hidden within Actu's memories, the ones that he was forced to forget in the aftermath of the First Demon War. They casually chat about things that may happen soon, but Mourn asks if Actu ever feels that he is missing something. Actu smiles and admits it is indeed the case, but it is probably a memory that he no longer needs.

Later that night, Actu puts on a show. Although Cer was already acquainted with Actu in the past, Drak attends for the first time, out of curiosity. During the show, Gallow challenges the audience in her usual segment, and Drak accepts in response, donning a mask. After his impressive display of power, completely surprising Gallow, he reveals his identity to her, the one that she was searching for ever since she came to Aethar. A few days later, she locates Drak and Cer's residence and challenges Cer for his place. Drak agrees to the fight, and it was made clear to Gallow that Drak still favors Cer, despite his lack of combat prowess. She leaves them alone for the time being.

In a mission under the Department of Defense, Decree manages to locate KL's physical body in a hospital, and speaks to him directly, threatening to destroy it. They set aside their rivalry briefly to talk about their situations, and Decree admits that she still needs KL's help to free herself from this body. She spares KL this time, declaring that his body was never found.

Mourn attempts to find clues about Kai's whereabouts and comes across the Raven Cult, which was originally linked to the individual that revived him from his most recent disappearance. He finds a link to Abyssic. He meets Talor in a gala, but he was not able to find anything suspicious about his past, which was cleverly shrouded in the mist.

Imp, who survived the battle but was captured by Talor when he arrived on the surface, was freed by Decree, in an accidental coincidence. Mourn approached Imp, and gathered the courage to ask for help from a certain Verinu and go forward with a daring plan to seal Kai forever and save Aethar.

Chapter Six - The Sacrifice

Imp agrees to become the decoy for Drak, sufficient enough to foil Kai's foresight. The bait worked, and Kai approaches the prison, only to be ambushed by Drak and Sen. Although he predicted an attack, he did not expect Mourn to be there as well. Mourn manages to bind Kai, and he reveals his real plan: to trap both of them in an permanent timeless realm.

Keio finally appears, which is the wild card in Mourn's plan, as he could not predict the non-existence's signature in time. With his long-forgotten Verinu abilities, he successfully sends Mourn and Kai into an isolated realm, with their souls linked to the seal. Mourn is transformed into Kai's jailer, both eternally bound to the realm, with no way to return to Aethar.

After revealing much of his past, Keio goes into hiding from Drak. Meanwhile, two ancient beings, Slumber

Slumber, the Sleepwalker

Ancient / Soul Direction / Perpetually Asleep
After mysteriously re-emerging after centuries of being in hiding, Slumber joined the Circus of the Underworld for a short time before settling as a funeral director. He continues his master's work, directing the dead to the world soul. His pet owl, Ekrou, acts as his eyes.

and Aware

After his "family" had left him, Aware decided to embrace his freedom, writing souls back to life for anyone who would bother to pay him. He remains elusive and reserved, lurking in the underground where he practices his ancient trade.

, arrive to the present world from their centuries of inactivity.

Deeply wounded and without much time remaining from the previous battle, Imp invites Sevre to finish him off and capture his soul, only to trick him into a battle with Sen. Left to die, Sevre was driven into a last resort, transferring his existence into Imp.
