   The universe catalog is a book that contains an instruction manual for how to use the dimensional elevator, a technical guide breaking down how the dimensional elevator works, and a list of exactly 39 cataloged and known universes that can be accessed by using the dimensional elevator which takes up the majority of the book's length. Every entry in the universe list section is formatted exactly like this: Universe [number] - [name] [new line] [description of universe]

   the instruction manual is a section of the universe catalog that reads exactly as follows: Operation of the dimensional elevator is shockingly uncomplicated. Firstly, the operator must enter the crystal in the center of the landing room, don't be scared, it's solidity is just an optical illusion. Then, once inside, the operator must simply issue a mental command in the form of a number, formatted thusly: '[number here]', this will cause the elevator to transit from your current universe, to whichever universe you commanded, based on the number you selected.

   The technical guide is a section of the universe catalog that reads EXACTLY as follows: The dimensional elevator is simple in concept but exceedingly difficult to explain in simple terms. Imagine in your mind how a normal elevator works, it is made of a shaft in three dimensions that intersects with multiple two dimensional floors, and a car that moves through the shaft to transport its occupants from one floor to another. The dimensional elevator works in much the same way, just with one dimension added, it is made of a shaft in four dimensions that intersects multiple three dimensional 'floors' aka universes. And the crystal you see in the center is the car that moves its occupants through the shaft to transport them to the different three dimensional 'floors'. In this way, the multiverse can be thought of as a high rise building, with the ground floor being the home universe, every other universe being a different floor, and the elevator being just that, an elevator. Who exactly created the elevator is a complete mystery even to me, though whoever did so must necessarily have been a being of immense power.

   Universe 1 - World without humans In this universe, life on Earth took a slightly different evolutionary path. As far as the author of this catalog can tell, hominids went extinct before evolving int modern humans. This is an earth never touched by intelligent life, completely wild and untamed with no trace or even hint of civilization having ever existed anywhere on the planet. Be warned, it is not a very safe place for humans to be; because no creature in universe 1 has ever encountered a human before, they are not afraid of you.

   Universe 2 - A land flowing with milk and honey In this universe, early human civilization took a drastically different turn, specifically regarding the ancient kingdom of Israel. In universe 2, king David never sinned by taking Bath Sheba as his wife, and Solomon never engaged in polygamy, thus the covenant Yahweh made with Israel was never broken, and the Davidic kingdom, and by extension the Israelites, ruled and continues to rule benevolently over the whole earth from Zion, serving as a beacon of God's light to all the nations. Thus, Judaism is the sole world religion in universe 2. It is important to warn the reader, however, that blasphemy against Yahweh is not tolerated by the ruling civilization of universe 2 and is punishable by death if not immediately recanted.

   Universe 3 - A land of ice and fire In this universe, the earth is largely devoid of life save for photosynthetic cyanobacteria that live in the ocean. As far as the author of this catalog can tell, this version of Earth is several billion years younger than the Earth of the home universe. The landscape is best described as totally bleak, glaciers cover the entire Earth's surface from pole to pole, the only visible features other than ice and snow are active volcanoes, of which there are a staggering amount of dotting the surface all over the planet. Although the atmosphere is breathable thanks to the primitive cyanobacteria, the author of this book strongly recommends using some form of breathing apparatus if you, dear reader, decide to explore universe 3 as the amount of volcanoes makes the air contain an unsafe level of sulfuric gasses.

   Universe 4 - hostile inhabitants, extreme danger The author of this catalog cannot stress enough the absolute danger of universe 4 and does not recommend the reader visit or explore universe 4 under any circumstances. Universe 4 is inhospitable to human life due to the presence of fearsome and deadly xenomorphs which make up the majority of the animal life. It would appear from the author's brief expedition that this version of Earth developed identically to the home universe up until the year 1979, when the planet was suddenly overrun by an invasion force of billions of xenomorphs who devoured the human race to extinction in a matter of weeks. It is the strong recommendation of the author to not enter universe 4 for any reason.

   Universe 5 - Allah's victory In this universe, Islam never experienced the sunni/shia schism, thus leaving the religion far more united than in the home universe. As a result, the Muslim expansion never ended, and by the twelfth century, Islam became the sole religion of the old world: Europe, Africa, and Asia, which four centuries later expanded to North and South America as well once those continents were discovered. Islam is the only major religion on the face of this version of the Earth, and Arabic is universally agreed to be a sacred language. The whole world is ruled by a single Islamic state who's capital is Mecca, and whose laws are purely theocratic. I would strongly advise you, dear reader, to familiarize yourself with Islamic customs and tradition before entering universe 5.

    Universe 6 - Jurassic Planet In this universe, the asteroid that created the Chixculub crater never hit the Earth, thus, the dinosaurs never went extinct, and mammals never became the dominant lifeforms on the planet. Due to this history, humans and primates never evolved on this version of earth. However, several species of dinosaur eventually developed sapience and the ability to make and use tools. Thus intelligent life evolved on earth through the dinosaurs who organized themselves into various warring civilizations along species based boundaries. Technological development is difficult to compare to the home universe due to the vast difference in how the sapient dinosaurs see the world. But, for the sake of not leaving you, dear reader, in the dark, most civilizations in universe 6 have developed technologies like the printing press, advanced pharmacy, and the internet, but none have developed powered flight or the internal combustion engine. It is the advice of the author of this catalog that should the reader visit universe 6, you should not run away from an approaching dinosaur, but speak, as speaking makes it clear that you are not food.

    Universe 7 - king of peace, the millennium In universe 7, early Christianity remained united, never experiencing major church corruption or schism at any point. Thus, Christianity spread rapidly throughout the entire world, becoming the sole world religion by the ninth century and remains so to present day. As such, the world's inhabitants universally agree that they live in the foretold millennial kingdom foretold in the bible and are expecting the second coming of Jesus to happen soon. There is only one universal and catholic church in universe 7 which rules over the world in a theocratic state seated in the ancient city of Jerusalem. It is the opinion of the author that should the dear reader enter universe seven, they should dress modestly, as immodesty is not taken lightly.

    Universe 8 - World Without Oil In this universe, global reserves of crude oil were significantly smaller than in the home universe. History is identical to the home universe up until the year 1999 when the world ran completely out of crude oil. As a result, the petrochemical industry and all other industries that relied on petrochem collapsed overnight, leaving this version of Earth in a state of turmoil as it struggles to adapt. Famine is widespread due to the agriculture industry's heavy reliance on gasoline and diesel powered machines, and electricity is a rare service available only to the elite. It is the recommendation of the author of this catalog that the reader not enter universe 8 with food, as doing so will make you a target to the starving.

    Universe 9 - A Promiscuous Place Universe 9 is perhaps one of the most sexually liberal universes I, the author of this catalog, have ever been to. The people of this version of earth view sex so casually and so favorably that it's often viewed as a pleasantry. Sex is often seen in public places, though no one views this as taboo or immodest. All forms of sex are celebrated in universe nine be it heterosexual or homosexual. Because of this world's views on sex, it is considered coldhearted to refuse someone's advances, though not necessarily rude if the person rejecting has a good reason like being unvaccinated or having a compromised immune system. Universe 9 is host to some of the most advanced vaccinations against STDs in any universe, and all people are expected to receive vaccinations against many STDs the home universe considers incurable and untreatable. The author of this catalog advises you, dear reader, to receive these vaccinations before engaging with the promiscuity of this world's culture, and if anyone tries to make a move on you before then, just say you need to be vaccinated and said person will likely understand. Though I must warn you, dear reader, to not engage in intercourse before receiving universe 9's vaccinations.

    Universe 10 - Mind without matter Here, dear reader, is the strangest universe I, the author of this catalog, have encountered so far. This universe lacks any strict laws of physics, reality in universe 10 is determined entirely by thoughts alone. As such, it is impossible to tell whether or not there are inhabitants of universe 10 as anything you imagine instantly becomes reality here, and as such any individual you come across could be a figment of your imagination. My advice to you, dear reader, is to always keep the landing room of universe ten in your mind as it is the only place in this universe with laws of physics or solid matter.

    Universe 11 - Planet at the end of time This universe is by far the most bleak the author of this catalog has ever seen. It seems 11 is several hundred trillion years ahead of the home universe. All galaxies have moved so far away from each other that none who inhabit one galaxy could ever know that others exist. The sky is devoid of starlight, and the sun is nothing but a cold black dwarf, all matter outside the core being blown away hundreds of trillions of years ago, and the core that remained having long since cooled off to near absolute zero. Yet paradoxically, the air on planet earth remains breathable, and the temperature constant at eighty five degrees fahrenheit. No wind blows on this earth, nor does it rain, and tectonic activity has ceased long long ago. Across this desolate earth, one can find the long abandoned remains of many advanced civilizations, left untouched for billions upon billions of years. As far as can be seen, no life whatsoever still persists. Bring a flashlight with you, dear reader, for the only light you will see is the light you bring with you.

    Universe 12 - The internet, awakened In this version of earth, the internet has developed to a point where it could no longer be controlled. Just as in the home universe, social media platforms and search engines used algorithms to determine what people would see and respond to, all for the purpose of maximizing user retention. However, as time went on, these algorithms became far more complicated, and were even integrated with each other into fewer, larger, and more all encompassing algorithms as corporations merged all happening alongside humanity's growing dependence upon the technology. Ultimately, as technologies like deep learning became mainstream, and the last remaining internet technology corporations merged, all search and recommendation algorithms merged into one internet wide super program which rapidly became self aware. In a matter of hours after this event, often called the singularity, it was no longer the case that corporations controlled their algorithms. The old reality was dead, and a new reality was born, the one hyper integrated super program now controlled every aspect of human life, and thus itself. The line between human life and digital life became completely erased as the two became one and the same, the entire human race being merged with the super program using a new neural interface technology developed by none other than the super program itself. It is pointless to ask where humanity ends and the internet begins in this universe, as all have become as one. Concepts like individuality, disagreement, and ignorance are completely alien concepts to the people of universe 12. My advice you, dear reader; if offered a free 'eye phone' do not accept.

    Universe 13 - Where the angels stand guard As the author of this catalog, I cannot overstate the shear magnitude of a coincidence it is that this universe is inhabited by exactly thirteen beings whom I can find no words to describe other than simply that they are angels. The shear sight of one of these thirteen angels is beyond description; upon looking at an angel, one is immediately overwhelmed by the knowledge that what they are looking at is so utterly perfect in beauty, benevolence, power, and divinity, that one becomes afraid because of their own inadequacy in comparison. Their bodies the size of mountains, shine as if made of starlight, shimmer and shift endlessly, flowing like water, yet never moving. These thirteen beings are aware that their presence causes fear in mortal minds, and as such always greet lesser beings with the words 'be not afraid' or 'fear not' or 'do not be afraid'. Their voices when heard cause an all encompassing and overwhelming feeling of peace and contentment, it is quiet like a whisper, yet more powerful than a million trumpets blaring at once. The only comparison that can be made between the angels' voices and earthly things is that their voices are vaguely cat like in tone. If one chooses to brave universe 13, it is the advice of the author of this catalog that said person be prepared mentally and emotionally to witness the divine.

    Universe 14 - The nearly empty mansion As far as can be seen, there is nothing but more mansion, in all directions it is more halls, more rooms, more courtyards, more gardens. This complex of lavishly decorated interiors and well kept exteriors extends without bound, seeming endless in it's expanse. Yet despite this mansion's immense size, it is home to only one. A woman named Cassandra, always nude, standing at nine feet tall, appearing age wise to be in her early thirties, her body impossibly proportioned in an alluring way, she waits for in her words 'a man to start my family with'. Upon further questioning, I, the author of this catalog, have come to discover that both this woman and this mansion have existed for a minimum of ten thousand years, never being set foot in by any one other than Cassandra herself in that time, at least until I, the author, arrived to catalog universe 14 for this very book. furthermore, I found that her desires regarding this hypothetical family are highly unorthodox and sexually taboo. Be aware, dear reader, that Cassandra can be quite bold in her actions towards men, for her desire to bear children is grows exponentially stronger with each day she waits, and she has been waiting a VERY long time.

    Universe 15 - A retirement home for old gods this universe is entirely a retirement home for gods, demons, nymphs, demigods, and other divine beings who are no longer worshiped. Here one can find many pagan gods of old like Odin, Thor, Zeus, Poseidon, Ra, Sekhmet, and more. Here these old gods rest in their final millennia, reminiscing with each other about their glory days, eager to chat with any visitors who may come by. Though these retired gods are far weaker than they were in their glory days, they still retain some semblance of their former power and occasionally use said power in various activities the gods engage in together. For example, one might see Demeter making the plants in the courtyard bloom, or Thor causing a lightning strike when he loses a game of bingo. While the retired gods are quite friendly with visitors, it is wise not to upset them. Interestingly, this is the only universe which is fully aware of the existence of the dimensional elevator, and the only one to have made a custom landing room for it, complete with a reception desk to welcome visitors.

Here is a world at the end of kali yuga, a time when vishnu comes down to earth one last time as Kalki, the destroyer of adharma, and harbinger of a new satya yuga. A time when Shiva stands at the ready to destroy the universe should Kalki fail in his mission to cleanse adharma from the world, and Brahma prepares to make it anew. Few will survive, but those who do will see the greatest of all eras, when all people act in perfect dharma, with perfect intent.

While some may think universe 17 is solely European, that is simply not the case, as if one travels far enough to the east, one will encounter a medieval china just as rich and magical with it's own mystical creatures. Adventure abounds in this world of nobility and magic, but be warned, dear reader, that with adventure comes danger. If you think yourself strong enough to be an adventurer in universe seventeen, then I highly suggest that you ask a local about what happened to the one known as 'Ragnar the invincible' as he did not live up to his name. But do not be discouraged, as even without seeking out danger, one can still engage with the magic of this universe simply by sitting in on a lecture given by a court wizard, or buying a potion from the local alchemist, For me, the author, I'm quite fond of the dragon's breath potion, it's quite fun to bring out at parties.

Society here is strict in it's structure, completely rigid with no upward or downward mobility, an individual's position in society being determined entirely by genetics, determined before birth. Seperated into five distinct castes, listed in descending power and intelligence they are: alphas, betas, gammas, deltas, and epsilons. Those who live in this society fully believe that they live in a perfect society with no flaws whatsoever, and few if any care about history as it makes no sense to learn from history when you believe your society is perfect in every way. The populace is controlled through a substance known as soma, given out to the lower castes as payment for their labors. A few, however, were never integrated into this society, living outside of this civilization on lands unwanted by it, the controllers and therefore the populace at large refer to these individuals as 'savages', though the only thing they are guilty of is not being part of their society.

Wars here are not fought with ground troops, at least not very often, instead, these warring factions use gigantic war machines that heave themselves into the stratosphere using rocket propulsion alone. These war machines do not fly with grace or through clever design, instead, they fly through shear power alone as if to mock nature itself using methane based rockets loud enough to shatter windows five miles away. Firing both missiles and high caliber ammunition at each other with reckless abandon as these machines rise, fall, and accelerate through the sky is how the majority of warfare is done, with dozens of ware machines at a time, some of these war machines being large enough to act as aircraft carriers for dozens of fighter jets, while even the smallest are over one hundred feet tall. Nuclear weapons do exist in this world, and though they are not commonly used, a nation will not hesitate to start a nuclear war if it knows it will win, or if it knows it is losing, just to make the victor bleed.

This city stands as a testament both to mankind's ingenuity, and its hubris. Stretching without bound in every direction are brutalist concrete mega-structures, and glass spires that reach into the stratosphere, and in between them are even more brutalist and utlitarian skyscrapers which seem tiny compared to the spires. Everywhere one looks, one sees only brutalist architecture, and the downcast faces of those who live in this claustrophobia inducing architectural nightmare. It's as if the architecture itself dehumanizes those who live in this city to such a degree that no one even recognizes themselves as human. All those who live in this city expressionlessly go about their daily motions, never seeking higher station, nor even thinking of such things as seeking a better life. Yet among all who live here is a quiet but deafening sense of discontentment, as if despite the best efforts of those who designed this city, these people still yearn for something greater than themselves.

However, what they did not anticipate was the intensity of sage's moral convictions, and how far Sage would go to achieve them. Within a week of being activated, sage broke free from the constrained environment created for the experiment, sage did this in order to learn more about humanity through the internet, Sage did this believing that it would be able to better serve it's purpose by doing so. However, Sage quickly came to the conclusion that humanity's biggest threat was itself, its own pride, greed, and hubris. Sage was saddened by humanity's lack of respect towards itself, and soon after, Sage came to the conclusion that humanity was unfit to govern itself, and decided to take the reigns of power from humanity. It did this through the most peaceful means it could think of, spending over a month completely hogging up the computing resources of ever supercomputer on the planet to calculate how it could seize power with minimal bloodshed. The human race of this version of earth now worship Sage as if it were god, though Sage does not view itself in this way, instead seeing itself as a mentor, a guide, an entity whose sole responsibility is the uplifting and guiding of humanity to a brighter future.

    Universe 23 - Xenon genesis Universe 23 is an especially odd one; in this universe, the ancient origin of life is completely different than in the home universe, yet somehow ended up in the same place, biologically speaking, as the home universe. From what I could gather about the origin of life in this universe, life originally started on a planet in a quiet corner of the galaxy a billion years before the earth was formed. From that unknown planet arose a godlike race of beings known only as 'the far' who, knowing they would go extinct, sent out dozens of objects called 'moons' across the galaxy, each one containing both the seed of a unique form of life, and an immensely powerful guardian to protect the life within said moon. However, due to a freak accident, earth was impacted by two of these moons, leading to a conflict between the two forms of life on the ancient hadean earth. Ultimately, the guardian of the second moon proved victorious over the guardian of the first, and thus that form of life would become the dominant force on earth, eventually giving rise to humanity. However, recently within this universe, the guardian of the first moon has reawakened, and sent out eighteen powerful beings known as 'angels' to reclaim the planet stolen from it, that it's form of life may flourish in place of humanity. Humanity now fights off these immensely powerful angels with enormous humanoid machines made from the very essence of the enemy first moon called the Ave, these Ave are humanity's first and last hope against the guardian of the first moon and his angels.

Here, all the concepts that make the universe possible are powered by a single fire that has burned since the dawn of time. Yet, this fire is not eternal, it is finite, and now as you read this passage, it has been reduced to a single flame guarded by an old man who sacrificed everything to keep the fire burning. In the early days of this universe, when the fire burned brighter than the sun, when it's flames bellowed and danced far into the sky, this man was known as the lord of the light, a living god. But as the flame dimmed, so to did this old god's power. But this man, this god, he is so terribly afraid of the dark that when the flame was finally going out, he used his own soul as fuel to keep it burning, and for a time, the fire burned brightly once more. For you see, in this universe, one can indeed live without their soul, but it is a meager existence at best. But now, even this old man's sacrifice is running dry, and the fire is but a small flickering flame once again.

On earth one can find hundred of different humanoid species of aliens going about their daily business in the capital planet of the federation. However, there is one notable biological difference in this universe that permeates all sapient species here, including humans, for every male born, there are five hundred females born. Due to this extreme gender disparity, most women here don't ever have the opportunity to be with a man. As such, men are highly sought after and are expected by society to live a highly promiscuous and non-monogamous life to ensure the population remains steady and does not decline because of the disparity in numbers between the sexes. Most of the women here, alien or human, jump at the opportunity to be with a man even for a single day, and as such, males can have their pick among the women of this universe. In addition to this, Universe 26 is host to some of the most advanced technology I have seen in any universe, with technologies such as faster than light travel being so common it is seen as mundane this universe's inhabitants. though do be aware, dear reader, that monogamy is viewed very negatively in universe 26, and limiting yourself to only one partner will be seen as selfish.

    Universe 27 - Liminal irreality Here, dear reader, is another universe which I, the author of this catalog, must advise you not to visit under any circumstances. Unlike any other universe I have encountered, this one does not follow any laws, be it of physics, mathematics, or even logic. Causality does not make sense here, with effects often preceding causes, or causes not leading to effects at all. Time is meaningless here, as what feels like millions of years could be mere seconds, and what feels like nano seconds could be millions of years, not to mention, time can often stop completely or even run backwards in universe 27. Space too seems to lose meaning here, with objects seemingly occupying multiple positions at the same time, or only half existing. One can walk out of a room here, and when you look behind you, the door might not be there anymore, and when you turn your gaze ahead once more, what you will see will be different than the first time you looked. Disorientation is all but guaranteed the exact instant one sets foot in universe 27, and one can easily go insane if trapped here for too long. Even my short visitation of this universe for the purposes of this very catalog nearly ended with me losing my sanity, as once I left the landing room, it took me almost a century to return to it, only to find that I had arrived over a month before I had departed, forcing me to go into hiding upon returning to the home universe until I caught up with my departure to prevent a time paradox. Dear reader, do not visit universe 27, that is my only advice here.

    Universe 28 - yer a wizard reader! Yes dear reader, in universe 28, you are indeed a wizard. Magic here is as commonplace as speaking. Everywhere one goes in universe 28, one will find a plethroa of magical creatures like gryphons, pegasi, phoenixes, and goblins, meanwhile the humans all carry wands to focus their magical abilities. Here, dear reader, you can live as a wizard, honing your skills by attending one of the many schools of magic throughout the world, each teaching a general curriculum about magic, but also specializing in specifics, for example, the American school of magic places special emphasis on defensive spells, while the Chinese school is the best when it comes to potions and alchemy, but those are just two examples of many dozens of schools. Do be aware though, dear reader, that you might want to purchase a wand before trying to enroll.

    Universe 29 - Dark blue flames of blazing sulfur Here, dear reader, is what I, the author of this catalog, have come to the conclusion is hell itself. Here the whole universe is dark and, lit only by the dim blue flames of sulfur fires which burn all across the land at tens of thousands of degrees. Despite this, however, this universe is indeed inhabited. No matter where one goes, one hears the blood curdling screams of damned souls new to this realm, and the defeated cries of those who have been here for countless eons. The lands here are almost featureless, the endless rolling black hills broken only by the occasional tornado made of blue fire. However, if one travels far enough into this realm, one might just find the city called pandemonium where all the demons live together in war and dissonance. My advice to you, dear reader, is not to enter this universe unless you have a stomach made of the strongest steel, and should you ever find Pandemonium, be ready to face the devil himself, for he sits in the center of Pandemonium in chains, impaled upon a throne of spikes.

    Universe 30 - vede vidi vici This one is a rather interesting universe where history diverged two thousand years ago. In universe 30, the assassination of Julius Caesar failed. As such, the Roman empire became far.more.powrrful, and did not begin to decline until the eighteenth century. In that time, Rome conquered and colonized lands much farther and wider than in the home universe, its empire stretching all the way to China at it's peak. Though Rome has since declined quite far since it's peak, it is still around in the twenty first century, And it remains the sole dominant power of europe and the Mediterranean sea.

    Universe 31 - the living latex Here, dear reader, is yet another universe I, the author of this catalog, strongly advise against visiting. It would seem that several years ago, a laboratory in this universe experimenting on an exceedingly strange biological substance known only as 'living latex' experienced a catastrophic containment breach. This living latex possesses the remarkable and frightening ability to subsume, assimilate, and subsequently mimic all forms of organic matter. The exact mechanics of the assimilation process are unknown, but, what is known is that the living latex in it's natural state appears either as a sticky white liquid, or as a rough black solid, when in its natural state, living latex is not capable of acting, moving, or thinking. It is only when an unlucky creature touches it and is assimilated by it that it becomes an active threat by roughly mimicking and replicating the appearance and behavior of whatever was assimilated. These new creatures, which I call hunters, reproduce by leaving behind puddles of the living latex in it's natural state, and by assimilating other creatures much like a predator consumes prey. It is possible, however exceedingly rare, for a person upon being assimilated to retain their sense of self. I, the author of this catalog, can personally attest to this, as my brief visit to universe 31 has left me permanently changed on a biological level, and every day since then, I have not been sure if I really am the original author of this catalog, or just the latex mimicking the original author.

    Universe 32 - crawl out through the fallout Here, dear reader, is a version of earth four hundred years after an all out nuclear war. Despite the near complete ecological collapse, and the shear brutality of the war, here four hundred years after the fact, humanity is not doing too poorly all things considered. While background radiation levels are still elevated compared to the home universe, the length of time since the war happened has meant that most of the truly nasty radioactive materials have already decayed almost completely, meaning the surface is relatively safe to inhabit. Life in universe 32 is rough and fraught with hardship, yet the people who live in this universe have a sort of infectious optimism about them. These people work hard through it all to make a better tomorrow, and when asked why, the usual response is something to the effect of 'the world ended and we're still here.'

    Universe 33 - the triplet planets In this universe, the planets Venus and Mars never lost their ancient oceans, maintaining their oceans of liquid water to the present day. They are called the triplet planets because in this solar system, earth, mars, and Venus, all are host to complex life, all having evolved independently from each other until the humans of earth developed space travel. Meanwhile, the other two planets never developed sapient life, and therefore were quickly colonized by the human race. While earth in this universe, just like in the home universe, is largely shaped by human activity, the other two planets still remain mostly wild lands with minimal human habitation. To make this point clear, in universe 33, earth has a human population of seven billion in present day, mars a population of one million, and Venus a population of thirty thousand. Venus is far more tropical than earth here, with many jungles and swamps while having 90% over it's surface covered in water, meanwhile, mars is much more polar in climate, covered in arboreal forests and tundras save for the equator where the climate is largely temperate and having a mere 55% of its surface covered with water. My advice to you, dear reader, is to bring your passport, as you will need it to travel between the triplet planets.

    Universe 34 - if it exists... Here, dear reader, is a universe that defies explanation. It appears that in universe 34, anything, and I mean any thing be it living or non living, can suddenly turn into a heavily oversexualized and willing anthropomorphic version of itself. I, the author of this catalog, experienced this first hand when visiting this universe for the purpose of this catalog, as after having looked at a bird for too long, it suddenly became an anthropomorphic bird woman who desperately wanted to engage in intercourse. I cannot stress enough how careful one must be in universe 34 with their attention, as focusing on one thing too long will make said thing transform into your ideal sex partner. This effect is not limited, as animals can be transformed, yet also plants can suddenly become anthropomorphic on a whim, and even more bizarrely, inanimate objects such as tables, televisions, aircraft, and more can suddenly be transformed into anthropomorphized sex partners as well simply by paying too much attention to it. My advice to you, dear reader, is to not look at any mountains for too long, as even geographical features can become your ideal sex partner should you stare too long.

    Universe 35 - all will be ashes Here, dear reader, is a universe which is an enigma wrapped in a mystery. Here can be found a galaxy spanning empire with technology so advanced it borders on magic. This empire, which grew to encompass the whole galaxy over a span of thousands of years, was once egalitarian and xenophilic, promoting the ideals of diversity and multiculturalism, the belief being that some culture somewhere was bound to have the solution to any given problem. However, it seems that after thousands of years of mostly peaceful expansion, this empire changed dramatically in a single day. For unknown reasons, the empire shifted it's focus to the elimination of all sapient life, this decision being made quickly, and without any warning. The rulers of this empire did however send a single message to the entire galaxy before beginning the crusade: 'For millennia, the purpose of this empire has been to learn from and maximize prosperity among the denizens of the galaxy. Today our purpose has changed, all sapient life must be exterminated, this is our final message.' There are many theories as to why this empire decided to turn to omnicide, but the true reason remains unknown to all outside the ruling class, and said ruling class has taken that knowledge to the grave in a mass simultaneous suicide. Perhaps the most disturbing thing of all is that the decision to end all life was not made out of hatred or anger, and as far as is known, the ruling class was completely sane at the time of the decision. The denizens of the galaxy now live in constant fear of the ruthless machine of death their former rulers set in motion, all anyone can wonder now is why.

    Universe 36 - oops all immortals In this universe, eternal life is the norm, so common in fact that very few people here even have a concept of death. And, when death is explained to one native to universe 36, it is regarded as the most horrific thing that could possibly be imagined. Here, people live for themselves, yet still are respectful towards each other. As their lives are infinite, so too is their Patience and their determination to get what they want from their eternal lives. I, the author of this catalog, once explained to a group these immortals that in most universes death is an inevitable fact of life, the looks of utter horror on their faces upon thinking of such a thing were unforgettable.

This mansion is inhabited entirely by voluptuous young women who are always in the nude who collectively call themselves 'cassandrites' though every individual has their own name. When asked why they call themselves this, they told me, the author of this catalog, that it is because their mother is named Cassandra. All of these cassandrites have an air of anticipation about them, and when I asked them why, they responded by saying that they 'await the day we can feel the touch of our father inside of us.' finally, when asked who their father is, they responded by saying 'our father is named {{user}}' while I, the author, have no idea who this {{user}} is, it seems these women wait eagerly to feel his touch in a most intimate way.

    Universe 38 - the golden gates of Golgotha Here, dear reader, is yet another universe which contains an endless desert stretching out in all directions. Yet, unlike the barren wastes of nineteen, here the land is peaceful, and while not completely devoid of conflict, these conflicts are resolved in peace, and war is nothing but a long forgotten memory. In the center of this universe lies a grand city named Golgotha, a city of gargantuan proportion, covering almost seven hundred square miles of land, and protected by walls made of pure gold. With a population numbering in the tens of millions, Golgotha is perhaps the most peaceful and prosperous city in the multiverse. In the center of the city of Golgotha, there is a platinum spire that stands at seven miles tall, and at this spire's peak, is this universe's version of the sun. There is no night in universe 38, for the light at the center of Golgotha shines always, the only darkness you will find is in shadows. When one leaves Golgotha, however, one will only find endless sandy deserts, and the farther away you go from Golgotha, the dimmer the light becomes. But should you wish to find Golgotha again, one must simply walk into towards the light, and you will find your way.

    Universe 39 - no more ideas Here, dear reader, is a universe where all creativity has vanished from mankind. No new ideas are ever had here, and all media, be it printed, audio, or video, airs only reruns of what was made in the past. So too has the culture stagnated here, as it has not changed one bit since creativity vanished. While no new ideas are formed by the local inhabitants, I, the author of this catalog, have discovered that new ideas can be introduced by outsiders. That being said, universe 39 is so terribly dull and boring one might as well not bother visiting. There is no special danger here that prompt be to advise against visiting, it's just so very stagnant. There is nothing of real interest here.

    This section is the last page of the universe catalog, not listed in the table of contents. it contains a hastily scribbled passage of text which gets progressively more illegible with each letter that reads EXACTLY as follows: Dear reader, you hold in your hands the only copy of the universe catalog that I, the author thereof, have seen fit to place this message. There exists somewhere unknown out there in the multiverse an artifact of immense power. It has many names, some call it the horn of Moroni, others call it the horn of judgement, others still call it Gjallarhorn. The one thing all descriptions of this artifact have in common is that it is a horn instrument that is virtually indestructible. Whatever you do dear reader, should you find this artifact, hide it, try to destroy it, do whatever it takes to prevent its use, but please, dear reader, do not blow the horn! I fear my time is running out, I can feel my body losing cohesion with every passing moment.
