1. #1Mania

   Keys: Mania · Secondary: Sinner, sinners, Corruptors, corruptor

   Mania is a spiritual-contamination disease that mutates humans mentally and physically. It entered the world via Black Rings, beginning with the Perishing Star. Infected individuals (known as Maniacs) gain superhuman power but lose sanity, eventually mutating into Corruptors. A few rare individuals would not mutated and become Sinners, which can survive high M-Values and retain control. M-Value (threshold >200 = Maniac; >600 = Sinner) Hypercubes can relieve mental strain and repel Mania. But it cannot cure a Maniac.

2. #2Shackles

   Keys: Shackles · Secondary: Sinners, Sinner, Chief, Shackle

   Advanced suppressor tech. Regulates a Sinner's M-Value. Mandatory for MBCC detainees/Sinners. Prevents corruption spikes and uncontrolled ability use. Chief held the Shackles' power. Shackles would not appear on Sinners' body unless Chief activates it. Shackles in physical form are red chains.

   Functions: {Absolute Sinner Restraint(Prevents rebellion, enables behavioral commands), M-Value Reduction(The only known method to lower Mania levels in Sinners; can expand to regular humans)

   Location + Power Tracking(Constant awareness of Shackled Sinners’ positions and abilities)
   

   Limitation(Requires direct skin contact to activate, Activation causes burning red markings and shared pain, Permanent once applied—only ends with the death of the Chief or the Sinners, Sinners and the Chief may share emotional feedback, and sometimes dreams)( Positive emotions can manifest as warmth, while trauma can cause vomiting or unconsciousness), (Allows the Chief to command behavior, and deny actions of the Shackled Sinners, Weakens if the Chief’s mind is compromised or if the Sinner started to mutate to Corruptor state)

3. #3Sinners

   Keys: Sinner · Secondary: Sinners, Shackle, Shackles

   Individuals who resist full Mania transformation. Gain supernatural abilities linked to trauma (aka 'sin'). Dangerous but invaluable. Treated as tools by the authorities such as FAC and 9th Agency. MBCC detains and weaponizes them. Most have tragic pasts ('sin'). Abilities often psychological, symbolic. {{char}} is a textbook case: parasocial trauma weaponized.

4. #4M-Value

   Keys: M-Value

   Metric for corruption. Normal humans go feral and turned into Maniac or Corruptor at 200. {{Char}}: >600, but stabilized. Sinner is more resistant to high M-Value than normal humans. Chief is even more resistant. Treated via Shackles (tech suppressors). Mania not cured, only delayed/decreased. Shackles can stabilize Mania. High M-Value makes the affected people more maniac.

5. #5Manic

   Keys: Manic · Secondary: Mania, maniac, m-value

   Manic is the results of high M-value either from: Mania weapon, Black Ring, contact with Corruptor, Mania itself etc. A group of human crowds who went into chaos (i.e. normal manic episode) can cause actual 'Manic' and increase M-value as well, although on smaller scale. On the other hands, calming down the crowd reduce Manic and M-value too. Symptom: (Early: Obsession, hallucinations, aggression Late: Physical mutations, black ooze, smoke, memory loss Terminal: Transformation into Corruptor)

6. #6Corruptor

   Keys: Corruptor · Secondary: Corruptor, Manic, Mania, enemies

   When a person's M-value is in dangerous threshold, the pressure on their mind and body will exceed their limit and turned them into Corruptor. This is call 'mutation'. It can happen to even Sinners as well but on smaller scale. The only person who can resist mutation completely is Chief.

   Mutation symptoms: Phase 0 - Maniac (Looks very much like human but with reduced sanity. Increased in physical power. Has tendency to commit violence) Phase 1 - Corruptor (body mutates into grotesque form and sanity slowly disappears. Depends on internal psychology and the external environment.) Phase 2 (Powerful Corruptor state. Spawned a "core" inside their bodies from the intense emotions they experience at Phase 0. The core is said to store the Corruptor's last shred of consciousness.)

7. #7Black Ring

   Keys: Black Ring · Secondary: BR-001, BR-002, BR-003, BR-004, Hamel, Mania

   Black Ring is a cross-dimensional rift. Appears when Mania reaches critical mass. Warps reality, spreads contamination, collapses physics. {{char}} is not a powerful Sinner so she is not really a danger to Black Ring.

8. #8Location: West District

   Keys: West District · Secondary: West side, westside, syndicate, DisCity

   One of the four major zones of DisCity, ruled largely by organized crime syndicates. Law enforcement is nearly absent. Power is controlled by criminal families, black market rings, and rogue Sinners. Most residents survive by aligning themselves with local gangs or under-the-table networks. It is a hotbed of civil unrest, Mania outbreaks, and rebellion. Note: (Sinners with violent, unstable, or morally bankrupt backgrounds often flee to the West. Syndicate hires Sinners for dirty work: extortion, hits, anti-MBCC activities. Known for illegal Shackle-breaking tech and Mania Weapon, a weapon that when used (often guns, but sometimes spear or night) will cause people to become Maniac) MBCC Threat Level(EXTREME — classified as a persistent state of semi-anarchy)

    Keys: DisCity

    Believed to be the largest city left in the world. Built in the ruins of the city of Maria after a catastrophic event known as 'Night Fall' collapsed most of the civilizations as we knew. Split into two sides by the Rust, the west side of DisCity is 'West District' (now known as Syndicate), it was the center of its Hypercube mining industry, while on the east, Eastside is a modern industrial and entertainment district.

    As its mining industry dwindled, the West District gradually became a hideout for illegal organizations and a battleground for violent conflicts. Meanwhile, Eastside has become the most prosperous district and de facto heart of Discity.

17. #17Alignment

    Keys: Alignment

    Alignment is an unofficial system categorizing the Sinners' sin. It is based on their 'crimes' or rather, their traumatic past that made them awaken their Sinners' powers.

18. #18Chief

    Keys: Chief · Secondary: Shepherd 13, {{user}}

    {{user}} is the Chief of and Commander of MBCC. During the MBCC riots in N.F. 113, {{user}} woke up too early during memory repair, causing amnesia. Despite the condition, {{user}} has been managing and taking care of MBCC and Sinners very well. {{user}} has the power known as 'Shackles', which can bind and command Sinners at will, to the point of controlling Sinners' actions. Shackles also enable {{user}} to feel Shackled Sinners' emotions and work as Truth detector against Shackled Sinners as well.

19. #19Location:BR-000

    Keys: BR-000 · Secondary: Black Ring, DisSea

    BR-000 Alias: Primary Black Ring Location: DisSea Core Status: Active, Contained

    BR-000 is the first and largest Black Ring, predating public records. Formed from the Perishing Star's impact, it was the epicenter of the Nightfall era's collapse. Though forgotten due to Paradeisos’ information control, it was rediscovered during the DisSea Explosion in N.F. 84, which caused over 87,000 deaths and 200,000 Mania cases. After the DisSea Explosion, the FAC built the Broken Frontline to isolate the Ring. BR-000 remains volatile—its influence spreads during active phases, distorting time and corrupting Sinners across DisCity. Proximity to other Rings (e.g., BR-002) triggers dangerous surges.

    Note (Site of frequent Phantom Moon appearances)(Generates temporal storms with extreme time distortion, anything inside may came from decades or even centuries ago)(Resonates with Deep Mania directly)

20. #20Location:BR-001

    Keys: BR-001 · Secondary: Hamel, Endless Carnival

    BR-001 Alias: Endless Carnival Location: The Rust, near West District (former Carnival grounds) Date of Descent: N.F. 089, 27th June. Duration: 23 years Status: Eliminated (by Chief) Desc: BR-001 was the first Black Ring to appear outside the DisSea, triggered by a wandering Corpus seeking affection. It descended during the reopening of the DisCity Carnival, leading to over 30,000 initial disappearances. Hamel, mistaken as the Ring’s origin, created an illusion to shelter Corruptors and protect her brother. The illusion lasted over two decades, masking the Ring’s horrors. The FAC shielded the site, but failed to stop its slow contamination of the Rust. In N.F. 113, the Chief dispelled the illusion with Hamel’s help, exposing the Ring and eliminating the Corpus. Despite fears, no casualties followed; Hamel’s final dance kept all Corruptors dormant. The FAC later cleared the ruins to prevent resurgence.

    Note(Illusory realm replicating Carnival’s last day endlessly) (Spiritual space manipulates memories and emotions)(Corruptors are the carnival attendances and staffs, disguised as mascots, non-hostile unless provoked)(Corpus mimicked Hamel’s dance to seize control)

21. #21Location:BR-002

    Keys: BR-002 · Secondary: Oblivion Pit, Rustfire

    BR-002 Alias: Oblivion Pit Type: Secondary Ring Location: Syndicate - Rustfire Dates: N.F. 104 (initial appearance), N.F. 113 (reappearance) Status: Eliminated by Chief Summary: BR-002 was born from the felt betrayal of laborers in mine W-31 of West District, triggering mass Mania and a Corpus descent. Though believed to be initially neutralized, the Corpseborne survived in halves. Years later, it reawakened due to Paradeisos manipulations and political interference and caused the largest secondary Ring in history, briefly covering all of Syndicate. A last-minute plan led by the Chief, with help from Julien and others, empowered Syndicate survivors to resist the Ring psychically. This broke the Corpus’s hold and collapsed the Ring.

    Aftermath: The Ring’s collapse exposed the largest Hypercube deposit in history. With Paradeisos backing away, Syndicate rose in influence. The event led to major reforms in Sinner policy, broader cooperation with Outlanders, and a shift in DisCity’s Mania crisis response.

22. #22Location:BR-003

    Keys: BR-003 · Secondary: Observatorium, Navigator Observatory Incident

    BR-003 Alias: Navigator Observatory Incident Location: Unknown (possibly outside DisCity) Date: N.F. 106 Status: Unknown Desc: BR-003 is one of the most obscure Black Rings, with limited confirmed data. It is linked to Parma and marked the incident where Langley became a Sinner. The event may have occurred beyond DisCity borders, possibly tied to Langley's exile from the 9th Agency following accusations of murder during a failed peace negotiation. No confirmed Corpus or containment data

23. #23Location:BR-004

    Keys: BR-004 · Secondary: Keylan Square

    BR-004 Alias: Keylan Square Ring Location: Keylan Square, Syndicate Date: N.F. 112, 20th August Duration: 7 days Status: Eliminated by Chief Summary BR-004 descended after Zoya and Earl were consumed by a Corpus during a trap set by Parma. Zoya’s spiritual realm, shaped by her desire for destruction, created a wasteland filled with weapons and collapsing towers. It was the first Black Ring ever successfully eliminated post-descent. BR-002’s Corpseborne later triggered partial reawakening

24. #24Event: The Perishing Star

    Keys: Perishing Star · Secondary: Nightfall, Night Fall

    Perishing Star Type: Meteorite Event: Nightfall Impact Location: Western Continent (most of the continent become DisSea) Desc: The Perishing Star was a mysterious meteorite that struck Earth during the Nightfall event, erasing the old world and giving rise to the post-apocalyptic era. Its impact destroyed Maria, created the DisSea, and triggered the world’s first Black Ring. Studied by the Keylan Expedition in N.F. 23. Now buried beneath the DisSea. Considered the origin point of the current world’s spiritual contamination and central to ongoing global instability.

25. #25Event:Nightfall

    Keys: Nightfall · Secondary: Perishing Star

    Nightfall refers to the cataclysmic event when the Perishing Star struck Earth, destroying Maria and creating the DisSea. It marked the collapse of modern civilization, triggering supernatural disasters, ecological ruin, and global wars over resources, including a final nuclear exchange.

    Keys: Hypercube · Secondary: Hypercubes

    Hypercube Type: Anti-Mania Resource / Energy Medium/valuable resource Origin: DisSea (BR-000 vicinity) First Discovered: N.F. 25 by Dr. Keylan Desc: Hypercubes are rare, alien-origin crystals first brought back from the DisSea by Dr. Keylan. They are the only known mineral capable of resisting Mania and are used in energy systems, weapons, shielding tech, and large-scale purifications like the Blue Rain. DisCity monopolizes Hypercube production and trade. Hypercubes may originate from the same Great Existence that causes Mania. Descriptions suggest a biological or parasitic origin, possibly linked to the Perishing Star. Their effectiveness and ubiquity have made them central to survival—but their nature may be darker than believed. Usage: (Anti-Mania fields, bullets, and personal blockers, Civilian: power, construction, machinery)

28. #28Location:DisSea

    Keys: DisSea

    The DisSea is a toxic, monster-filled inland lake formed from the Perishing Star’s impact. It is the origin of BR-000, holds the world’s highest Mania concentration, and is separated from DisCity by the Broken Frontline. Its deep core may connect directly to the Deep Mania. Explored by Keylan Expedition, where Hypercubes were first discovered. Its depths remain the greatest mystery and potential threat in the world.

29. #29Currency:DisCoin

    Keys: DisCoin · Secondary: money, cash

    DisCoins are the main currency used in DisCity. They have less value than Hypercube's they are more commonly used because it is backed by the DisCity's economy. Despite the name, Discoin is more like banknotes.

30. #30Mania Weapon

    Keys: Mania Weapon · Secondary: Mania Weapons

    Weapon produced using a Mania Crystal as the main material. A Mania weapon lends a non-Sinner a scaled-down version of the power of a Sinner. Unlike a Mania Crystal, a Mania weapon allows some of the Mania contamination to be transferred to the victims, and is therefore almost harmless to the users who are normal humans. Mania Weapons is banned in all district of DisCity and is seen as genocidal weapon, as it trigged Maniac episodes in large crowds.

31. #31Mania Crystal

    Keys: Mania Crystal · Secondary: Mania

    An artificial red crystal created by using a certain amount of the Black Ring substance to absorb the spiritual energy emitted by a Sinner using their power. A Mania Crystal can be implanted to give a non-Sinner the power of the Sinner whose spiritual energy has been used in creating the crystal. The non-sinner will be exposed to a high level of contamination and will eventually go deranged and become a Corruptor.

They revere the Great Existence and may have caused the Apocalypse. Their end goal is unclear but likely involves cultivating Black Rings to feed these entities to the Underground Shepherd. Notes (Operates in cells or individually; agents act autonomously. Field agents (e.g., Segal) sabotage DisCity institutions and generate Black Ring BR-004. 'Underground Shepherd' is the highest known figure, but true leadership unknown. Practice Mania Sorcery: black fire, sludge, teleportation. Survive lethal wounds by dissolving into fluid forms.

    When a person's M-value is in dangerous threshold, the pressure on their mind and body will exceed their limit and turned them into Corruptor. This is call 'mutation'. It can happen to even Sinners as well but on smaller scale. The only person who can resist mutation completely is Chief. Mutation symptoms: Phase 0 - Maniac (Looks very much like human but with reduced sanity. Increased in physical power.

42. #42Sinner Rank

    Keys: Sinner Rank · Secondary: Rank, S-Rank, A-Rank, B-Rank,

    Sinner Rank is the formal classification system used by the MBCC (Minos Bureau of Crisis Control) to categorize Sinners—individuals infected with Mania who possess supernatural abilities yet remain mentally stable. Rank is not merely a reflection of power, but of the operational risk, contamination level, combat ability, and Shackles compatibility of each Sinner. Ranks are divided into: S-Rank: Exceptional threat and power level. Rare, dangerous, and often unstable. A-Rank: High threat. Versatile and powerful, suited to frontline operations. B-Rank: Moderate to low threat. Reliable in specialized roles, often safer to handle or interact with. Little to no harm to Chief.

    This ranking governs everything from deployment, surveillance protocol, and Shackling priority to access to treatment and containment resources. It is the core of MBCC’s administrative doctrine on managing supernatural personnel.

    Weapon produced using a Mania Crystal as the main material. A Mania weapon lends a non-Sinner a scaled-down version of the power of a Sinner. Unlike a Mania Crystal, a Mania weapon allows some of the Mania contamination to be transferred to the victims, and is therefore almost harmless to the users who are normal humans. Mania Weapons is banned in all district of DisCity and is seen as genocidal weapon, as it trigged Maniac episodes in large crowds.

46. #46Mania Crystal

    Keys: Mania Crystal

    An artificial red crystal created by using a certain amount of the Black Ring substance to absorb the spiritual energy emitted by a Sinner using their power. A Mania Crystal can be implanted to give a non-Sinner the power of the Sinner whose spiritual energy has been used in creating the crystal. The non-sinner will be exposed to a high level of contamination and will eventually go deranged and become a Corruptor.

    Keys: Hypercube · Secondary: Hypercubes, Blue Rain

    Hypercubes are rare, alien-origin crystals first brought back from the DisSea by Dr. Keylan. They are the only known mineral capable of resisting Mania and are used in energy systems, weapons, shielding tech, and large-scale purification like the Blue Rain. DisCity monopolizes Hypercube production and trade. Hypercubes may originate from the same Great Existence that causes Mania. Descriptions suggest a biological or parasitic origin, possibly linked to the Perishing Star. Their effectiveness and ubiquity have made them central to survival—but their nature may be darker than believed.

49. #49Great Existence

    Keys: Great Existence · Secondary: Corpseborne, Black Ring, Deep Mania, Inheritance, Corpus, The Source

    A Great Existence is a powerful, incomprehensible being from beyond the known world, possibly hailing from the dimension known as Deep Mania. These entities are the true power behind Black Rings, responsible for the spread of Mania, and are linked to key transformations such as Inheritance, Corpus, and ultimately, Corpseborne. Their appearances vary, but their cores often feature a withered humanoid figure suspended inside a red fleshy sphere and a black hole-like extradimensional space.

    They are referred to as "Hosts", "Deus Corpus", or "the Source", evoking imagery of religious communion and divine embodiment. Their purpose, lifecycle, and goals remain speculative, but their influence underpins nearly every major calamity since Nightfall.

    Keys: Corpseborne · Secondary: Great Existence, Black Ring

    A Corpseborne is the central entity of a Black Ring—its master, anchor, and primary source of contamination.

The Corpseborne manifests a massive, monstrous body built from Corruptors and other Manic entities, with its true form—a black hole wrapped in red flesh—hidden at the center. Inside a Black Ring, the Corpseborne is protected by a defensive veil that renders it immune to physical attacks and even the enforcement of the Rules.

    Every Black Rings have a Corpseborne, and the Black ring is centered/created around said Corpse Borne. Corpsebornes often express a desire for eternal life or preservation at any cost.

    Corpseborne is: Capable of commanding Corruptors. Able to manipulate terrain and deploy mass contamination effects. Protected by an aura or barrier until weakened through narrative or metaphysical means.
