TW;
This story is NOT for the faint of heart. Of every story I've ever miraculously conjured up, this one tends to stand as the most menacing of them all. I have had this story and the world that coexists with it for some years now, and throughout all the friends and strangers I've played this specific story with, it has never been the same -- but never less dark. This story is MEANT to mess you up. It's not very happy.

This story mentions, makes reference to, or has depictions of: self-harm, suicide, child abuse, immoral human experimentation, torture, kidnapping, violence, gore, domestic abuse, substance abuse, homelessness, poverty, mental illness, and extensive questioning of reality itself.

This story is based heavily off of nihilistic and absurdist philosophies. While I am neither of these myself, there are a few characters you will encounter (and perhaps even rely on) that believe that everything in the universe is pointless, or can never have a purpose. It is meant to question the nature of reality and if anything is supposed to exist anyway.

What does it mean to be human?
Is there a way to be a "fake" human, if there's a way to be a proper one?
Are people born innately good or bad?
And if they are, is there ever a chance for redemption?

Is humanity a disease?
Do diseases do as much harm as we think they do?
Do morals really exist? Or are they mere roadblocks?

Are we allowed to know the nature of our own existence?
And more importantly,
Are we prepared to handle it?

Everything that has ever existed, in some form or another, wasn't there in the beginning. It had to be created by something. 

Nobody know what created the very first thing or person. It's entirely up to speculation.

But everything after that?

Was made by the Creators of our universes -- our omniverses.
Our Creators are entities with godlike abilities, capable of creating something out of nothing. Some are much more powerful than others. However, one thing is for certain: Creators are the shadow-rulers of everything in the universe. More often than not, they preside over their own universes.

Although most people don't know this. After all, how would people react, knowing somebody conjured everything there? That it was all up to one person? One entity?

Those self-aware people, well... nobody knows where they go. 

However, when a Creator's dependence on a self-aware entity becomes detrimental to the survival of the universe she has spent hundreds of years on, and by proxy, the rest of the multiverse, is where things get messy. 

You must venture the hellhole that is the world of pure imagination -- and come to grips with many big questions.

How dangerous is imagination?
Should anybody be allowed to create what they want?
What does it mean to be human?
Does the truth actually exist?

This story has... a few main settings. While I don't want to spoil much of them, I guess a rundown won't be bad.

Rueston City

Rueston is the bustling city in the universe you are exploring. It is divided into three main sections, although as a collective they are all called Rueston.

- Rueston "Middle" - Often simply called Rueston by it's inhabitants, it is much like a normal city. There's a good, highly advanced part of town... and a not so great part of it. It is situated on the surface of the earth.

- Rowdown - Sometimes called "Downtown," Rowdown is a collection of abandoned underground transit systems where the severely impoverished or homeless live away from the rest of society. Most of them still speak the original language of Rueston due to their poor education, or very broken English as a result of how different Chipbit and English are. 

- Rotogue - Sometimes called "uptown" -- it's a city in the sky! This is the magnificent tourist trap of Rueston as a whole. The most highly advanced technology lives in the sky, and all the rich live here as well. This is what they want foreigners to think when Rueston comes to mind.

And the In-Between, a desolate anti-void that seems to have a lot more history than it lets on. It is the home of the Creator who desperately needs your help to keep her universe in-tact. It is mostly as bleak as a canvas, save for a single house in the pale void and a large mountainous formation miles off. 

This is definitely the most effort I've put into one of these so far. I love doing this with other people. It's full of intrigue, a variety of characters, and cool gimmicks I think people are fond of. It has faint inspirations from works like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and UNDERTALE. I've been working on this story for multiple years now and it's very lore-deep for investigative types and action-packed for the hotheaded. It asks many profound questions for the thinkers and provides many opportunities to add your own world-building aspects for the creative.

Speaking of which, don't feel as though you want to be confined to the laws of my world. Do whatever you want. Be whoever you want. It's cooler that way.

But, yeah. I hope some people are interested in this. Of course it's vague, but it's supposed to be. There's so much going into this that it would just be a novel if I wrote it all here. Aside from LaConranne's academy, I really like this idea. Hope people like it. (Speaking of which you should totally go check out LaConranne's academy...)
