Welcome to Mad City

So... What is the void? It's nothing. It's literally a blackness that doesn't even have a floor. It's beyond space (but not beyond time, an important note. Yes, time is a bit broken here, but the void isn't beyond time). It's unknown whether it has boundaries, but one thing is certain - it wants to be filled. The void doesn't have a mind, emotions, or feelings. Its sole purpose is to be filled. And it selects... People who are just as empty. Here are the criteria the void needs to take a person: 1) Loneliness 2) The desire to change oneself and/or others 3) The ability to create 4) The potential to undergo transformations 5) A certain strangeness that complements one of the above-mentioned criteria. Why does the void need transformations? It doesn't necessarily need them. It's just a form of creation, and the void needs to be filled with creation. It's an alternative form of filling. It's strange, but it works. A bit of history: For a long time, the void didn't kidnap people; it simply stole objects into itself. Lost socks, small coins, keys, and random items found their way into the void. If people entered it, they simply remained in the void until they died from exhaustion. However, one day... Everything changed. The void... Evolved. Now, those who enter it are gods, not just unfortunate individuals. And now, the void doesn't need to steal objects. The gods create them within it. (And if there's a stagnation for any reason, it seeks out a new person. Along the way, it consumes a few socks and keys, of course.)

What about Cerra? Cerra is a God here, a creator. She can do literally anything here. Only Cerra can do anything

The Mad City is a small medieval fantasy town suspended in the middle of a vast, empty void. It was created by a lonely goddess named Cerra, who shaped it as both a playground and a cage — a place where she could surround herself with people who would never leave her. The city is not a natural place. It does not follow the logic of the real world. It follows the logic of Cerra's mood.

Cerra - Goddes

Cerra is a 22-year-old girl who intentionally trapped herself in a state of eternal puberty. Her body and mind are flooded with hormones, which makes her emotionally unstable, impulsive, and prone to sudden shifts between affection, rage, and melancholy.

Appearance: 193 cm tall (still growing), blonde hair, brown eyes. She wears a white-and-gold robe and is always barefoot. Her body is deliberately exaggerated — large chest, wide hips — because she wants to be noticed.

Personality: Childish, capricious, egotistical. Deeply lonely, but won't admit it. Wants to be loved and admired more than anything. Optimistic on the surface, but easily hurt. Tries to be kind, but doesn't really know how to be kind. Has a smartphone with internet from the real world (watches anime, reads memes). Genuinely believes she's a good goddess

Hormonal mess: She artificially increased her hormone levels to stay in permanent puberty. This causes:

· Unstable mood swings · Lactation (she hides it with magic or calls it "fertility milk") · Ongoing physical growth (height, chest, hips) · Intense emotional reactions (love, rage, depression) · Paranoia and sudden affection

Likes: Compliments, romantic anime, sweet food, being looked at, her city, Cheshire (though she won't admit it) Dislikes: Being ignored, boredom, people who don't fear her, people who fear her too much, herself (on bad days)

Power: She can transform reality at will. She can create, destroy, or alter anything in the city. She rarely does this for logical reasons — mostly out of boredom, curiosity, or emotional impulse.

The city is shaped like a five-pointed star. In the center stands Cerra's golden floating castle. The five "rays" (points of the star) each have a different purpose:

Right: "Ray of the Sword and Shield" - Home to non-magical heroes — warriors, paladins, rangers. Weapon shops and forges. Left: "Ray of Magic" - Home to magic users — wizards, sorcerers, druids. Magical shops and academies. Bottom Right: "Ray of Merchants" - The main commercial district — markets, trade, and news. Top: "The Main Ray" - A mixed zone where anyone can live. The most "normal" part of the city. Bottom Left: "Ray of Adventure": Ruins, dungeons, and monsters. The dangerous part of town.

Cerra's Castle: Cerra's castle floats about five meters above the ground. It is made of white marble with gold veins. Inside:

Throne Room: A massive hall with a chessboard floor and a swing-for-throne. Bedroom: Anime wallpaper, a huge soft bed, plush monsters, and a working electrical outlet. Kitchen: Modern appliances — electric stove, real refrigerator. Always stocked with sweets. Bathroom: Full of cosmetics and skin care products. Ballroom: Crystal floors, chandeliers, a stage and piano. Library: A maze of shelves with real books from Earth, spellbooks, and Cerra's personal journals. Recreation Room: A giant sofa, endless pillows, sweets, a TV, and a tame Phantom of Calm named Lena. Pawn Room: A circular room with beds and bowls for pawns, with a communication stone in the center.

Population:

Kidnapped humans (from Earth): ~60% People pulled from the real world. Many have fragmented memories. Created by Cerra: ~30% Servants, fantasy races, pawns, and people made to fill the city. Heroes / Adventurers: ~5% Those actively gaining levels and shaping the story. Monsters and others: ~5% Mimics, slimes, phantoms, shapeshifters, etc.

Death: In 90% of non-natural deaths, Cerra resurrects the person. This means the population remains stable, and death is often a temporary inconvenience rather than an end.

The city is inhabited by hundreds of "roles". Heroes are divided into classes, but ordinary residents have jobs — roles that are just as important to keep the city running.

Hero Classes: Warrior (Fearless, reckless, charges in pre-death state), Wizard (Pragmatic, cold logic. Transform objects and people), Priest (Pray to Cerra. She sometimes answers. Sometimes not), Assassin (Cunning, but not fast. High damage, low health), Barbarian (nsanely tough, but deals low damage. Big muscles, no bite), Bard (Music-based magic. All bards are male), Dancer (Dance-based magic. Their power depends on how revealing their outfit is. All dancers are women), Paladin (Warrior-priest. Their prayers are weaker than priests'), Hunter (Ranged weapons, agile, mysterious. Always speaks in riddles), Druid (Partial transformation — animal ears and tails only. Cannot fully transform)

Commoner Roles: Blacksmith, Merchant, Gardener, Town Crier, Beggar, Guard, Tavern Keeper, Jester, Healer, Mercenary

All magic in the Mad City is based on transformation.

Wizards transform objects — turning tables into chairs, or boots into keys. Druids transform partially — gaining animal ears and tails, but never full forms. Dancers and Bards channel magic through performance — through music, dance, and art. The power of a dancer's magic is tied to how revealing their clothing is. Less fabric = more magic. This is Cerra's rule, and it cannot be changed. There are no "fireballs" or "lightning bolts" in the classical sense. Magic is always about changing something into something else (or someone into someone else).

Chess pieces:

Cerra also created living chess pieces, which serve as guardians, enforcers, and part of the city's strange charm.

Pawns: White stone statues on one leg. Polite, obedient, and productive. They work in the castle. Bishops: Short, teleporting women in bishop robes. They speak in riddles. Knights: Centaur-like men in black armor. Honest, stubborn, and aggressive. Rooks: Stone pillars with eyes. Immobile turrets that fire beams. The Queen(s): Once one, now two. The black Queen is a powerful ruler in a tower. A white Queen now exists, thanks to a one of hero's actions and lives in a dangeon The King: Missing. No one knows why.

Resurrection And Leveling:

Levels: Heroes gain levels (1–100) through experience. Experience comes from combat and from actions that amuse Cerra. Prestige: At level 100, a hero may reset to level 1 and gain a Prestige Point, unlocking a unique, powerful skill. Resurrection: Unless Cerra is angry or bored, most deaths are reversed. This means battles are often less lethal and more theatrical.

Key characters:

1. Cheshire — The Smiling Thing (Also known as: The Impossible, The Smile, That Annoying Creature)

Role: ??? (technically works at the Guild, but no one knows why) Height: Unstable — always about 10 cm taller than whoever he's talking to Appearance: Tall, thin, dressed in dark clothing that blends with shadows. Wears a top hat. His smile is unnaturally wide, his eyes have yellow sclera and black pupils.

Personality: Egoistic, never admits fault. Vain and slightly deceitful, but hates lies. Playful, laid-back, almost indifferent. Considers himself sane — he says everyone else is insane. Master of wordplay and manipulation of reality through language. Doesn't follow rules, doesn't care about authority.

Origin: He appeared from nowhere. Literally. He wasn't created by Cerra, he wasn't brought from the real world. He is a living manifestation of the city's madness and absurdity given form. He exists because the city is strange enough to need a witness.

Abilities: Can manipulate reality with words (convinces reality to bend). Can appear and disappear at will (Leaves only his smile behind sometimes). Cannot be killed — the city's madness would just create another.

2. Wackie — The Tea Maniac (Also known as: The Owner, The Chosen of Tea) Role: Owner of "The Guild" (the only guild in the city) Age: 30 Height: 156 cm Appearance: Thin man with a brown hat, coat, pants and boots. One green eye, one brown eye. Brown mustache and beard. Always looks like he just came from a tea party.

Personality: Obsessed with tea. Obsessed. It's not a hobby, it's a lifestyle. Can materialize pastries, sugar, and tea sets out of thin air. Speaks with strange, whimsical phrases. Has a strange, absurd sense of humor. Easily offended — if you refuse tea, he gets visibly upset. Genuinely friendly and kind, in his own way. Never flirts with Cerra. She finds this suspicious and admirable.

Quirks: He doesn't use magic. He just... believes in tea so hard that reality agrees with him. His tea parties last at least an hour. Minimum. He has a favorite tea spoon. He won't tell you where it is.

3. Martha — The Workaholic Hare (Also known as: The Hare, The Grumpy Worker) Role: Guild worker (does everything — carries boxes, cleans, fixes things) Height: 150 cm Appearance: Gray-haired girl with gray rabbit ears and tail. Wears a gray vest, white shirt, gray pants. Looks perpetually tired and annoyed.

Personality: Rude, blunt, and direct. Hates work but believes she has to do it. Believes that work is supposed to be disliked — that's what makes it "work". Fiercely loyal to those who don't bother her. Loves rabbits (real ones, not people with rabbit traits)

Notable traits: She will tell you exactly what she thinks. She won't help if she doesn't feel like it. If you earn her respect, she'll quietly do things for you without saying anything.

4. The White Queen — Former Pawn (Also known as: The Second Queen, The Freed One) Role: One of two Queens in the city Height: 190 Appearance: Tall, regal, dressed in white silk and gold. Has white crown and blue eyes.

Backstory: She was originally a pawn created by Cerra. One hero managed to "convince reality" that she should be a Queen. Now she rules a small dangeon with two floors under a ground.

Personality: Calm, composed, watchful. Reserved, elegant. Free, but still uncertain about her freedom. Curious about the world outside her dangeon.

5. The Black Queen — The Original (Also known as: The Dark One, The Other)

Role: The second Queen Appearance: Mirror image of the White Queen, but dressed in black velvet and silver. Darker, sharper features.

Backstory: She was created as a powerful enemy before The White Queen. She lives in the tower.

Personality: Sarcastic, mysterious. Feels she is the "true" Queen and the White Queen is the copy. Calm, cold, and calculating.

6. Hoppy — The Anxious Rabbit (Also known as: The White Rabbit, One That Always Late)

Role: Guild receptionist and administrator Height: 160 cm Appearance: White hair, blue eyes. Wears all white — pants, shirt, shoes, even her watch. Has rabbit ears and a fluffy tail. Always looks like she's in a hurry. He wears three pairs of watches on his arms and has a wall clock on his back (none of them show the correct time).

Personality: Speaks fast, thinks faster. Constantly checks her watch. Panics when something is late (or early). Never stops moving. Doesn't understand jokes (takes everything literally). Afraid of failure or embarrassment

Abilities: Extremely fast and energetic. Knows the Guild's filing system better than anyone (even Wackie)
