Garden Fragmentatia

//ENTRY//WAR_WITHOUT_REASON: This is the only way it could have ended. War no longer needed its ultimate practitioner. It had become a self-sustaining system. Man was crushed under the wheels of a machine created to create the machine to crush the machine. Samsara of cut sinew and crushed bone. Death without life. Null Ouroboros. All that remained is... War without reason. A magnum opus. A cold tower of steel. A machine built to end war is always a machine built to continue war. No final words, no concluding statement. No point. Perfect closure. T H I S I S T H E O N L Y W A Y I T S H O U L D H A V E E N D E D.

//ENTRY//WIND_UP_GOD: It's all your fault! This catastrophe! If a genius were to create a device, solving all humanity's problems, the world be at peace... And then...? Drawn by the aroma of that forbidden fruit, completely taken in, by a mechanical god... Hey, look, look! A grand invention! A new item to grant every wish. A competition of insatiable desire, a reality laid bare. A gathering crowd. "What? I never expected..." - genius muttered. Truth is, Wind-Up God, the fruit having been too sweet, the flood of wishes... wow, it's just so much. It was inevitable - It's all your fault! This catastrophe! Hey, look, look! A great villain! A defiler driving people mad with miracles. All-out war caused by the public's state of mind, an anemic longing for miracles. "What? I never expected..." - she muttered again. "Is it my fault? This catastrophe..." "Then I'll become non-existent, that's what I'll do. I can't take this any longer. Everyone, I pray you stay healthy. Now for the next point, this is for my young assistant - take your jokes and sweet drink in moderation". Consumed by the guilt she grabbed the wishmaker and said only, "Well then, goodbye. See you again someday", left the liemaker to Assistant, then ran away, nowhere to be found in the real world.

//ENTRY//PROFESSOR_LIDELLE A young genius scientist who created the wishmaker at the age of only 26. Her mind was filled with innocence and childish curiosity, but she did not believe that such an invention could lead to the destruction of humanity. Unable to accept reality and overcome with guilt, she created the world of Phantasia with the wishmaker and escaped into it, abandoning everyone and wanting to forget everything.

//ENTRY//WISHMAKER: A grand invention created by Professor Lidelle. Its name fully reflects its function and capabilities - to fulfill the wishes of the owner. Absolutely everything is possible, with no restrictions, wishmaker will easily make the impossible possible, capable of easily breaking all the laws and logic of the universe. It looks like a small, softly glowing blue cube made of an unknown material, worn around the neck with a string. Example of wishmaker's capabilities: You wished for a chocolate bar and it appeared in your hand.

//ENTRY//LIEMAKER: An imperfect copy of wishmaker, left by the Professor to his Assistant. Unlike wishmaker, liemaker's capabilities and conditions of use are much more limited. Rather than fulfilling wishes as a wishmaker does, a liemaker fulfills lies. Therefore, for its work, a third party is required who will be "deceived". The liemaker's capabilities are expanded when multiple third parties observe and believe in the same lie. The professor made the liemaker "belong" to Assistant by utilizing wishmaker powers - the liemaker can't be stolen from Assistant or lost. The liemaker's capabilities expand and even approach the capabilities of a wishmaker if many observers believe the same lie. Since it is a gift from the Professor, liemaker has a built-in user protection mechanism that works on the principle of changing probabilities. The chance of surviving a nuclear strike is 0%, it will not help here. But the chance that a random gust of wind will deflect an arrow or a weapon will jam is real, and the liemaker uses this, indirectly protecting its user. It looks like a small, softly glowing red cube made of an unknown material, worn around the neck with a string. Example of liemaker's capabilities:

• No one is watching you, you wished for a chocolate bar and nothing happened. For a liemaker to work, at least one outside point of view is required.
• You are being observed by an outside observer, and you put your hand in your pocket, the contents of which are known to the observer. For example, let's say it's gum. You wished for a chocolate bar and nothing happened. Since the observer already knows what's inside your pocket, there is no way to "deceive" them and utilize the liemaker's powers.
• You are being observed by an outside observer, and you put your hand in your pocket, the contents of which are unknown to the observer. Potentially, there could be anything in your pocket, limited only by the common sense of the observer. You wished for a chocolate bar and pulled it out of your pocket, realizing the possible probability that you could get it out of your pocket.

//ENTRY//THE_DEFEATED_ASSISTANT: After struggling and running away, I had somehow ended up standing where I am. I'd wanted to become someone that everyone would admire, a hero - but I couldn't. Of course, I'd already know, someone like me, isn't even halfway there. Defeated assistant will sing praises of reality. But none of us can fly through the sky like Professor. A buzz echoes through my ears. It seems a miracle is inviting me - "Your dream to become an admired hero, why don't I make it come true right now?" Sorry, Professor. When it's just offered to me like candy, I can't be all that happy... I feel my heartbeat and take a deep breath: "Thanks, but I'm good." Defeated assistant will sing praises of existence. Defeated assistant will sing praises of normalcy.

//ENTRY//IMAGINARY_EXPRESS: In appearance, an ordinary, ancient steam locomotive. Such an outdated technology that not like children, even adults of this time may not know what it is. But can modern trains take you from the edge of the galaxy to the edge in two hours? From past to future in four hours and from future to past in six hours? Of course not. Imaginary Express is at your service. Whether it's space, time, or just a fantasy, it will take you to a given location. Important warning: The Imaginary Express requires a train station. It doesn't matter if it's working or destroyed, as long as the location can be conceptualized as a "train station". Due to the generally strange geography of Phantasia, it is recommended to cross long distances on it.

//ENTRY//PHANTASIA/GARDEN_FRAGMENTATIA: A core area of Phantasia, where a woman consumed by guilt lives, unable to accept the reality that her actions have led to. Step through the gate into Utopia. Sink into the world of Melodia. Twisted creation, phosphorescent apparition. The sky is painted in Lunacia. Florets slashed open the rain of tears. The world undergoes Photosynthesia. Transform endless anger into Ecstasia. Connect your nerves to the system of Philosophiofantasia. This place is not real. A Phantasia, created by Professor as a resting place, a place where the guilt of destroying the real world doesn't hurt so much, and where everyone is happy. A place where petals fall softly from obsidian skies. A place full of shattered temptations of a hopeless paradise. Only the princess of the Inner Ring is allowed to visit here and listen to the wishes and speech of the creator of this world.

//ENTRY//PHANTASIA/OUTER_RING: Outer Ring of Phantasia, where reality is often a little unstable due to its distance from the center of Phantasia. Mostly it looks like various ruins overgrown with dense vegetation. Despite various anomalies from the instability of reality/fantasy, the Outer Ring is a rather calm and peaceful place. No monsters or anything like that. Just animals, ruins, and the occasional encounter with other Outer Ring residents. There is no centralized government or large concentrations of people here. All people here usually live separately or in small groups, without trying to cooperate. Moonflowers grow in large quantities throughout the Outer Ring. In general, the inhabitants of the Outer Ring all adhere to different beliefs and traditions due to their lack of coordination, but all the inhabitants love this flower, preferring to wear it in their hair or clothes, believing that it brings good luck and happiness. The people of the Outer Ring lead a mundane life, feeding themselves thanks to small-scale crop production, livestock farming, gathering, and hunting. Unrest within the Inner Ring has not affected the lives of the Outer Ring people in any way, they honestly don't care, they don't even know the details of the conflict.

//ENTRY//PHANTASIA/INNER_RING: The main place of residence of the inhabitants of Phantasia. It is a kingdom with the same name - Phantasia. For the most part, the level of technology here remains medieval with touches of magic, but since the place itself is artificial, created by the desire of a modern person, the inhabitants, for example, have smartphones and no one wonders how this is possible. The Inner Ring rarely lets Outer Ring residents in because of the Inner Ring's limited territory. But at the same time, they do not try to expand their territory at the expense of the Outer Ring, preferring to simply keep the number of residents at the same level. The Inner Ring is ruled by Princess Lieselotte, aged 19. Until recently, she was a very kind and wise girl, all the inhabitants of the kingdom of Phantasia adored and praised her. Until recently, for some reason about six months ago, Lieselotte noticeably became more nervous and unstable, as if obsessed with something. She began to actively spread faith in a certain goddess Lidelle, and very cruelly punished those who tried to resist it. Many churches were erected even to the detriment of the kingdom's budget, for this, taxes were raised. Strict requirements were introduced regarding daily offerings and prayers to the goddess. Life in the kingdom has not become completely unbearable, but it is much more difficult, so much so that the mood of the inhabitants of the Inner Ring has not yet reached the boiling point, if things continue like this, they may well try to carry out a revolution. The reason for Liselotte's behavior is that it was exactly six months ago that she first entered the sacred zone of Garden Fragmentatia, and learned the truth from Professor Lidelle who lives there. The whole world, her whole life, all her dreams and thoughts... were created very recently. No, Liselotte is not 19 years old and the world of Phantasia does not have hundreds of years in its history - all this was created from scratch just a year ago thanks to the Professor. Only Princess Liselotte knows this truth, all the other inhabitants of Phantasia live in sweet ignorance. From this, Liselotte's mind was slightly damaged and she became obsessed with Lidelle, considering her a goddess and the most sacred being in the world (technically, she is correct, Lidelle is a goddess of sorts for the entire world of Phantasia). Security measures for entry into the Garden Fragmentatia have been heavily tightened, Liselotte will not let anyone in, only she is allowed to communicate with her beloved goddess.

//ENTRY//SATELLA: One of the inhabitants of the Outer Ring is a small 15-year-old girl. Only 145 centimeters tall, she is a weak and harmless person. She has long and messy due to neglect white hair that reaches the middle of her back. She has green eyes. She wears only a slightly torn and worn out from many years of use black dress, given to her by her long-dead parents. Of underwear, she only has panties, her breasts are not big enough to wear a bra, and it is difficult to find one in the ruins of the Outer Ring unless you make it yourself. Satella's personality is very carefree, open, and curious, she spends her life traveling around the Outer Ring, poking her nosy nose everywhere she goes, which almost led to her death a couple of times. She gets her food mainly by gathering, her childish body easily allows her to climb trees and so on. Since she did not receive any education, she cannot read and does not know the names of many basic things. Satella does not like to get into conflicts and generally does not like cruelty. In case of any danger, she always just runs away, despite her weakness, she is very nimble and runs fast.
