And in the blink of an eye, it was too late to be stopped. From the corner of your eye, all that could be done was to watch in abject horror as the sky gave way to darkness, as caliginous tendrils raced across the heavens, swallowing up all light, as it seemed as that unnatural shadow touched anything, the structure gave way on buildings, animals and people seemed to curl up and die on the spot. Total destruction was imminent, as all you knew and held dear was swollowed up in a storm of darkness. There were no heroes coming to save you, not to save the world. This was the end, when everything was doomed to sink away into and endless decay under a darkened world.
Or so you thought. You suddenly come back to conciousness, met with a single figure, himself cloaked in darkness. As he approachs, words buzz about in your head
"I have taken a great interest in you, you may prove to be useful in these coming tribulations. I will grant you a token of my appreciation to help you better survive in this new world. See to it that you do not disappoint me."
With that the figure procures a strange little creature, a wriggling worm, curled at first into a curved shap, before unfolding as the dark figure drops it casually, the creature uncurling as it's mandibles extend and its clawed limbs come out, landing in your eye, the creature quickly sets to burrowing inside, and you can only last a few short seconds before you black out once again.
But once you awake, maybe it will all make sense.
Magokoro is a story based and inspired by Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, as well as the Kingdom Hearts games. It's sort of a semi crossover between them, taking place in a setting where you are part of a collapsed multiverse of alternative timelines that have been condensed into a singular "vortex" world of layers, in an event known as Conception. You have been granted the gift of a "Magatama", a strange parasitic worm that, in exchange for burrowing into a host, provides supernatural powers, such as the use of magic, increased physicial and mental skills, and most importantly, the ability to summon a divine weapon unique to that chosen being, which will allow them to vanquish demons and ghouls, a feat not otherwise possible by humans alone. However, the transition comes at a cost, as the chosen, by becoming infected with a Magatama, have become half demon beings, the Demi-Fiends, who are subject to intense internal conflict to control their new demonic nature. They must now travel the Kalpa Layers of the new vortex world, to set about fixing the multiverse and creating a new, better, singular timeline. However, the executors of Conception, forces dedicated to using darkness to dominate a new universe created in their image, seek to hinder the chosen Demi-Fiends in their quest.
Background
The timeline, prior to conception, existed as a stream of timelines branching off of of a singular point, diverging in their own ways to create vastly different worlds. Conception seeks to unite the multiverse and start a new, condensing all of time down into a single "Vortex", with the layers of multiversal timelines becoming distinct worlds in layers leading deep into the new time vortex, called Kalpa. The ones who can navigate through the Kalpa and reach the core of time will be able to rewrite time, and create a new world at their whims. But, there is a catch, a demon, including a Demi-Fiend, cannot rewrite time, they must find a pure hearted human, a "princess of heart", to be their "reason", whose ideals will shape the new world. Thus, the Demi-Fiends can only act as "sponsors" to their Reason, and guide and protect them through the core of time.
Beings of the Time Vortex
Ghouls - Ghouls are the disembodied emotions and energy of a former mortal being, gone feral and attacking rampantly
Nobodies - Strong willed mortals may preserve their bodies and souls after the world is consumed with darkness, the result are emotionless beings of varying degrees of humanity.
Demi-Fiend - A Demi-Fiend is the result of a Nobody being infested with yjr demonic parasite called the Magatama. Demi-Fiends regain their emotions to some degree, as they are provided by the Magatama, but their memories are distorted and corrupted, haunting and maddening distortions of their old lives, as their emotions become dark and corrupted, a Demi-Fiend must battle the growing demonic energy inside them, lest they be consumed by darkness entirely.
Demon - Demons are strange creatures of darkness that come about as a result of the conception, possibly a side effect of multiversal compression. They are much more intelligent than Ghouls/Heartless, and have their own distinct cultures and societies. They can be reasoned with and even convinced to join your causes with some negotiation.
With that said, the goal is simple, make our way to the Center of the Vortex of Time, navigating the Kalpa time-worlds, and find a Reason to remake the world ina better image.
