Origins: In the years before years, the land of Zoeta, the first planet to ever conceive life, was found by the god named Ethrum, the goddess of all things. Ethrum was made from the random mana sea that was the stars, which were solid clumps of mana and magic. Ethrum was born on this planet, and developed her own language, learned magic, and over the course of time, made it her own little world. She grew, and became a deity, creating angelic beings and, more importantly, the Draconic race.

Dragons were the first intelligent species with the wisdom of a god put into their bodies. The angels would worship them and look upon them. However, one dragon, who was named Abaddon, was antsy, believing he was meant to be god, not Ethrum. Turns out, the wisdom of a god in a powerless body makes one very arrogant. Thus, Abaddon began to devour Angel after Angel, until he gathered enough mana to rush into the heavens and face Ethrum. Little did Abaddon know, Ethrum was far more powerful, and took him down with ease. However, understanding Abaddon’s wish and feelings, Abaddon was sent to a new world inside of the planet of Zoeta. This land was named The Underworld.

Ethrum and Abaddon had lived as the gods of the world. They had made entire realm for all of their creations, until their worlds accidentally met on the surface. A tree sprouted, apples grew, and an angel had found the strange tree. The angels, named Ethan, bit into the apple, and was suddenly very aware. He looked around him, confused and in disbelief, realizing that he was alive. This made Ethan rebellious, and when the angels were told to bow to a new creation, he stood up straight. Ethrum, however, was not mad at this. Ethrum was thrilled, and she decided to make Ethan a new creation. And thus, the first human was born.

Ethrum would go to create more and more humans with free will, and soon, the world was dominated by them. They grew up being siblings to the dragons, loving them, until Ethan and a girl named Gabby had a child. This child was named Luis. Luis was a curious one, and he raced and played with many other children. Soon, when he turned 7, he was roughhousing with the kids, and one of them struck him a little too hard. This, however, did not make him cry. He smiled. He smiled a cruel smile, an excited smile. He tasted the blood running from his nose, and he was thrilled. He picked up a rock and proceeded to beat the rock into the child’s face until the child stopped moving. He laughed, and laughed. He howled in joy. It was madness.

Ethan, angered, picked up a rock and proceeded to battle his own son and beat him to death. Ethan did not hesitate, and soon, Ethan understood just what it felt like to kill, to take a life. Ethan did not share Luis’ twisted joy. Ethan felt guilty, he felt sorrow, he did not want to feel this way. Ethan asked Ethrum what he was feeling, and Ethrum could not answer, for this was new to her as well.

Luis, being a chaotic and sadistic child, was sent to the underworld to live with Abaddon, who saw the child as a mistake. However, the child never listened, and Luis began to attack Abaddon’s creations, but his joy was short lived. Luis was forced to be frozen in black ice to restrain him, and he was left there to rot, to die in his own madness.

Over the years, humans began to dominate, finding metals and discovering religion. The dragons began to fade out, but not completely. More and more species began to arrive: lizardfolk, kobolds, and many others. Despite the death of Luis’ body, the underworld was still shaken. Soon, however, Luis managed to reawaken as more and more humans began to worship the underworld and Luis’ madness. Luis was resurrected, and took many lives in his rampage on the surface, and used the mana to create Necrotic Magic, resurrecting people as monsters: slimes, skeletons, revenants, and many, many others. They took the land in a storm of fury, mindless fury.

Ethrum was devastated, and she had to call upon Abaddon for help. Together, those two fought Luis, but they could only match with him. Soon, however, Ethan and Gabby, riding a large white dragon, raced into the battle. They charged directly at Luis, taking them all out in a blast of fire and mayhem from the dragon. All of them had fallen.

Over that 700 year period, many things had taken place. In the end, Luis had been defeated, but this caused a large mark. Evil still flourished, mana ran wild, and Abaddon was weakened. When Luis had returned to the underworld, Luis was still powerful, still present. Abaddon, seeing luis had been weakened even a little, had engaged, and locked Luis in a special stone pillar further down than even the underworld went. This land was known as the Abyzlands, a completely frigid hell designed for the worst of the worst. Luis was discarded below, his skeleton left behind, but his presence was not gone. His organs and other pieces had scattered across the lands, becoming their own creatures, while he lay dormant in the underworld’s lowest low, silently cackling.

In the years between the 8-900s, these monsters had grown in power, and created horrendous marks on the world, even drawing mana toward the world and crashing the planet with new biomes and land masses. And now, the rest is for time to tell.

Biomes:

Seasonal Forest: a normal forest filled with oak trees and common fauna. This forest is not home to much, just small forest animals and hill ranges.

Grand Deserts: wide, sand-built dunes that blow harsher than Ethrum’s gusts. This oven of a realm is filled with lizards and reptiles, even some unique plants like cacti, desert flora, and pyramids. Some may even find ancient temples buried in the sand.

Badlands: terracotta covered lands filled with plateaus and caverns, swarmed by some Savana grasslands filled with acacia trees and other insects and smaller animals.

Volcanic beaches: large ash beaches filled with magmatic seas. Some are filled with boiling water, geysers, and heat vents, others are pure molten rock and chaos. The lands are covered in demons, giant creatures, and other threats.

Spruce hills: a cold, snowy forest filled with unknown creatures and fuzzy little critters, like foxes, bears, and other animals. These biomes are home to lovely mountains and autumn environments.

Tundra: a frigid, impossible to live in land that is forever lost to maddening blizzards. Very few animals live here, and a special race known as the Sergals found peace in this land, thier thick fur and reptilian humanoid bodies help them feed and stay warm in this climate. Do not get too close to their tribes.

Oceans: large, waterlogged pits filled to the brim with aquatic life. Not much to say, but some say there’s something eldritch beneath the sea floor.

Sulfuric seas: a large green desert that is mostly rock and stink vents, coral trees, and other poisonous and toxic life. It is home to mutations, uranium, and other deadly materials and poisonous plants and creatures. Don’t breathe the air.

Rain forests: large, thick forests filled with many, many species of plants and flora. The bugs are all over the place, and the lizardfolk are studying alchemy in these lands in their tribes. Many rivers flow through these lands, and they are often close to water sources.

Fungal forests: a strange land filled with tree-sized mushrooms that are made of solid wooden stems rather than soft flesh. Here, many gnomes and dwarves have taken refuge, along with magic races, like fey, lycanthropes, unicorns, chimeras, so on.

Astral Fellings: a large, greyed land covered in strangely colored towers that seem to be the trees of this place, even though they do not have leaves. The sky of these biomes almost seems to blacken when you cross into them. The trees burn inside with the crystallized remains of stars, the rare possibility of mana to be left in the wood is always there. No one knows why they are here, but they are here regardless.

Skislands: the Skislands are large chunks of the planet that float above far above the clouds. These islands were made by shooting stars slamming into the planet’s crust, sending shards and chunks of the crust into the sky, forced to sit upon the clouds in thin air due to the wild mana. These Skislands are usually found floating above crater-covered lands or the Astral Fellings. These are also home to many exotic animals, such as griffins and other avian races.

Regions in the underworld:

Limbo/Purgatory: actually named by the demons as The Blessed City, Limbo is the one region between the underworld and the lower crust. This world is a full underground town that the half-demons took refuge within. Half-demons, or Tieflings, are primarily cursed humanoids that went into hiding after they were outcasted by the rest of the surface. Not much is to say about Limbo, but it is a place of silent sorrow.

Libido: a mountain range filled with phallic-appearing mounds and sharp hills, eternally twisting storms forever blowing around this cursed land. This land is filled with lustful, gluttonous demons, hungry for anything that can satiate their needs.

Phlagethon: a large badlands-like region filled with molten lakes and pyrite veins. The demons in this region are cunning, swift, and silver tongued. These demons are mostly consistent of Echidnae, the half-snake demons, or Nagas, the human-faced snakes. Don’t get greedy.

Vulcan: a large smoldering land filled with lakes of dark magma and obsidian, trees and screams, caves and much more. This land is home to the city of Dis, the forest of suicides, the heretical graveyard, and the ashen beaches. The demons here are divers, ranging from centaurs, harpies, Minotaurs, gorgons, and many more.

Acaron: this region is filled with shimmering blue magma, gigantic branching pillars of rock and lava, and the citadel of abandon: the home of Abaddon and the gate to the Abyzlands. This region is filled with several swamps covered in fauna and herb-life. This land is commonly known for its alchemy. The river Styx also originates here, as it runs through all of Acaron and is the source of this land’s wildlife and water.

Abyzlands: the only cold land in all of the hells. The Abyzlands is the land beneath Hell itself, inside of the ground of the underworld, frozen over and covered in forgotten demons and treacherous souls, which are now nothing but frozen revenants. This is where Luis’ remains reside, or should I say Lucifer?

Pieces of Lucifer (main bosses):

Quick lore bit: after Luis had fallen, many referred to him as Lucifer, having evolved from many words overtime: Draconic: Zuisfyr - insane man Dwarvish: Luizfyr - evil person Cantish (kobold and sergal language): Luisifr - an evil person Common (human language): Lucifer - The most evil person to ever live

After Lucifer had fallen to Abaddon, his body parts were sprung across the lands, spreading evil onto it.

The Lucid Sludge, who was once Lucifer’s skin, is now a large blobby mess. It is made of that melted slop of his skin, now eternally hunting for bones to rebuild itself, storing the gelatin inside of its body. It is the reason slimes and the undead exist today.

Cthulhu, the deep one, the once brain of Lucifer, found refuge in the fluids of the ocean, condensing its thoughts and forcing it to gather together mana and make its own intelligence, its own self, its own being. And now, this behemoth is the son of the ocean, the insane, and the completely mad. It is the reason that aberrations of fish exist, such as the aberration of the tiger shark, being the furred sea beast.

Vita Carnis, or the heart and muscle systems, were formed into the harbinger of the ashy beaches and flesh caverns. Vita is a large fleshy womb with a corpse flower like opening. While immobile, Vita has many fleshy minions, such as the guardians of its birth chamber: the walls of flesh. The other beasts are humanoid flesh monsters, spiders, and ichor-filled floating tumors that somehow grew their own brains and stingers. The enemies vary so much that the volcanic beaches were abandoned decades ago.

Scorch’yon, the ribcage and spine, are a massive scorpion, marching around the badlands and creating the massive cavern known as the Cartledge Cove, where it nests its children. Speaking of its children, those would be the antlions, the bone revenants, bone worms, liches, dracoliches, and the Lesser Queens: large bone scorpions that build their own nests.

Wyrm of Baphomet, the eyes, nervous system, and other organs, were weaved into the mass of skin and spikes known as such. This beast inhabits the special environment of the dried sulfuric seas. The worm searches for new prey and devours anything that moves too close to the lake of acid it inhabits. It is the sole reason that the sulfuric seas exist.

The rest resides in the Abyzlands, still locked away

Minor bosses:

Scarlet Worm: once an oceanic leviathan, nor reduced to a sandworm. This gorgeous animal is angered by the intrusion of the wyrm of baphomet and was chased out of its once beautiful sea, which is now reduced to an ocean of acidic waste. Now, the beast is forced into the deserts, being the largest sand beast ever known.

Frío de monstruos: once an Italian poet, now reduced to a frozen mage. Dante, a lovely man who had discovered the truth of the underworld and created the story of the divine comedy was later banished for his ludicrous findings, later learning magic from the sergal race, having reeked his own havoc in the name of Lucifer. Now, he resides as a frigid golem, locked away in an ice cube within a temple in the tundra, now known as such.

Ra, father of light: in the tribes of the rain forest, a human subrace known as the dryads had valued the sun’s light, loving Ethrum to her fullest. Now that Ethrum had become distant after the war, the dryads made a lovely replica of what they believed Ethrum looked like. The dryads soon made this monstrosity come to life with a star shard, and it was an idol of protection, until it began to attack all that came near the dryads. Now, it is a symbol of protection and determination rather than peace and love, which the dryads did not want. Ra is now locked in a temple, defending its territory for eternity.

Astrid Dios: this is the strangest being yet. This beast is a gigantic worm constructed entirely from meteoric metal, star shards, and was made by the hands of a lizard person named Thor Shi’ol. This lizard person was made an outcast for believing in metalworking and not the practice of alchemy. Thor had constructed in the ways of humans, and built the false god Astrid Dios, which was Leshlite (the lizard folk language) for Astral God, or God of the stars. However, Thor was devoured by his own beast, and the craze for mana devoured the god’s thinking, and now the metallic mesh is feeding off of the stars and mana around the biome of the astral fellings. Do not test this beast’s limits.

Biolante: a gigantic bulb of floral beastly intent. This beast was constructed accidentally by the dryads. A shooting star had fallen, and the dryads did not understand it at first, so they placed it in a naturally formed totem covered in plant life. Bad idea. The star’s mana randomly gave the plant a life beyond plant life. It became sentient. Now, it is the ultimate predator: a gigantic bulb with teeth and acid, moving with vines and roots. It drinks, it eats, it survives. Now, it’s the enemy of the dryads.

Hygard: this one is strange. The remnants of Luis’ shadow had risen to the underworld and manifested inside of the magma and fire, becoming a twisting goddess now known as Hygard of Hell, the brimstone elemental and daughter of Abaddon. She rules over the city of Dis by chaining herself to Abaddon’s body, granting her inevitable strength and a masculine female body. She now rules the underworld while Abaddon screams for freedom, only to be muted by her insane cackling. And yes, she is sexy as hell, literally.

Gaiya: Gaiya is a large dark worm that is the culmination of reptilian and insect DNA. Due to a wild rainforest being struck by a fallen star, this creature mixed together with the melting parts of several creatures, creating a gigantic worm. This beast is the reason the volcanic beaches are even here. Just don’t step into its nest.

The final boss:

Once you find every single piece of each piece of Lucifer, you can revive Luis and face off against him in one final fight in his broken form.

Lucifer, Prince of musical treachery: this large, skeletal, lung-revealing beast is a colossal floating axial skeleton with frozen rock making up its once-ribcage and massive icy weapons in its skeletal hands. Fireballs fall from its eyes, hollow cackling from its cracking jaw, and utter madness taking form. This is your final test, do not screw it up.

Quick side note:

Zoeta is the planet this is taking place in. The underworld is a layer inside of the planet, replacing the area between the lower crust and the outer mantle.

Major items:

Here are some importantly things you need to find or can find within the world.

Along with the common ores found on earth, which involve copper, tin, iron, so-on, zoeta has many other ores to find.

Ores:

Aerodite: exclusive to the Skislands, Aerodite is a solidified version of the clouds, coagulated by mana. It appears icy blue within the dormant, thicker clouds connected to the islands. This ore can be smelted into Aerodite Bars if you mix them in a 3:1 ratio of Aerodite and Angel Tears, which you get from the cherubs that dominate these islands.

Quadicite: a very special mineral only found near the edges of the oceans. This ore is the lingering mana of Cthulhu reformed in solid, cursed, red ice that never melts.

Cryonite: A frigid mineral found only in the tundra. It’s cosmic ice created by Frio himself. It can only be accessed once Frio is defeated, as his spell guards the ore within Zoeta.

Bryne: a special ore only found in the sulfuric seas biome. It can be found here, but it is rare and hard to find. You’d have better luck finding uranium. Bryne is a dark yellow and has a strong stench. It’s also found in solid mounds that are the droppings of the Worm of Baphomet, which are large clumps of sulfur sitting in mounds on the land.

Fungolium: Fungolium is a special condensed fungus mixed with star shards found in the deep caves of the fungal forests. Sometimes, they can be found in the bulbs of grand shrooms: large bright red mushrooms with thick bulbs that grow the same height as a spruce tree. Fungolium can actually come in different kinds depending on the mushroom used when forging (5:3 ratio of mushrooms to ore for making a bar of Fungolium).

• Parasitic Fungolium (Agaric): using the agaric mushrooms, you can make a special Fungolium that heals you for a percentage of the damage dealt to an enemy.
• Fuzzing Fungolium (Nightling): using the nightlings, you can make a special darker version of Fungolium. This version will make the enemies dizzy with spores, slowing them down and making their attacks weaker.
• Glistening Fungolium (Liquor Cups): by using the liquor cup caps, you can make a weapon that will allow you to poison or even poison and blind an enemy for a short time.
• Flickering Fungolium (Glow caps): by using the tall Glow caps, you can make a Fungolium weapon that causes open wounds to become enflamed, which causes prolonged bleeding and burns.

Galuzium: Galuzium is one of the new ores found in the astral fellings. It has orange and blue hues. The metal is eternally heating itself, so you need a specific furnace to force this metal. This furnace is constructed from the rocks of the astral fellings, called Void Salt, and night wood to light the cosmic fire inside. This astral furnace is the only way you can melt the ore into bars.

Seriolium: a blueish-grey ore that glows brightly due to the chaotic nature of itself. This metal creates energy from chaotic particles constantly jolting. The particles inside are spaced just far enough apart to maintain solid structure while also creating constant energy. You also need the astral furnace to melt this material. When crafting the bar form, you will need a 5:2 ratio of Seriolium ore and Fallen Stars.

Brimstone: Only found in the deepest parts of the volcanic beaches, deep within the caverns of the volcanic bellies. Inside, you can find several hellbent items, but you will find the scorched sulfur that is brimstone. You can also make brimstone by using Bryne and sulfurous dust: the ratio of 3 Bryne and 6 sulfurous dust put into a furnace can get you some lovely brimstone. This ore cannot become a metal on its own, but when mixed with a special substance known as Ichor, you can make a new material called Citrinitas: a naturally hot and retaliating mineral that can grant a weapon greater force, heat, and intent. Just keep an eye out for Gaiya.

Nautilum: Nautilum is a strange resource. It is found inside of the heart of Cthulhu. Once Cthulhu falls, the coagulated, deep blue blood falls in solid chunks. This can be used to forge many other items, including a staff that controls the waves and a pair of boots that allows you to walk on water for a short time.

Glucosite: Glucosite is a rare crystallized organic ore found only in the rain forests. It is formed from the fossilized remains of colossal plant life that produced excessive amounts of nutrients, sugars, and mana-rich sap until their own bodies collapsed and mineralized. Over time, this overabundance crystallized into pale white, milky-green crystals embedded in ancient roots and overgrown stone. Glucosite is commonly used in alchemical crafting, growth-based enchantments, and regenerative items, and is highly valued by dryads and rainforest alchemists.

Ossfyte: Ossfyte is a necrotic bone ore found within the badlands, formed from the fossilized remains of monsters created through Lucifer’s necrotic magic. These bones mineralize over time, infusing their ossified cartilage and calcium-phosphate structures with lingering death-aspected mana. Ossfyte appears off-white to gray with darkened cores and faint crimson veins, giving the ore a marrow-veined, crystalline look. It is exceptionally durable and is commonly used to craft weapons, armor, and tools associated with death, endurance, and corruption. Mining Ossfyte is dangerous, as nearby skeletal remains may reanimate when disturbed, drawn to the residual mana within the ore.

Glitz (Glitter Diamonds): Glitz, also known as Glitter Diamonds, is a naturally shimmering gemstone found exclusively in the marble caverns beneath Limbo, the Blessed City. It forms when gold- and platinum-rich veins are subjected to prolonged equilibrium between holy and infernal energies, causing the metals to crystallize rather than alloy. Glitz endlessly refracts light, producing a soft, prismatic glow. While difficult to work with, it is prized for crafting utility items, light-based enchantments, and mana-efficient tools rather than weapons of brute force.

Crytz: Crytz is a unique necro-crystalline ore found only in Phlagethon. It is formed when human souls guilty of avarice and anger are compressed into the molten, gold-rich earth of the region, where they mineralize into crystalline geodes over time. These geodes grow naturally from the ground and are harvested as both currency and crafting material within the underworld. Crytz serves as the primary economic unit of Hell, making it a literal system of wealth built from suffering. Though usable in crafting, its extraction and refinement are considered inherently immoral.

Ferrocite: Ferrocite is unique as it’s found within a tree. Very rarely, you will find this ore within the trees found in Vulcan. The ore is a crimson red and shines like a common rock, but once found inside of the array of blood crystals, it can be used to create a fine metal. To create said metal, you must mix this strange blood ore with bits of brimstone (3:1 ratio in fact) to create even a single ingot of this hellish material.

Boss Summons;

Skin Bible: the skin Bible is made from any form of skin from demonic creatures as well as pages constructed from gel, which is dropped from slimes. Use this item in a graveyard to summon him. Your reward will be the Ossified Core, one of the few items to making the Idol of the Damned.

The Crooked Heart: constructed from the flesh and beating hearts of several abberated fish, this trinquete is necessary to summon the beast below. Collect at least 10 abberated hearts and huddle them in scaly fish skin. Go fishing with this and draw Cthulhu close. Once he notices, he will levitate out of the ocean to battle. Your reward for defeating Cthulhu is the Black Intellect; a dark brain core that has been rotting at the very center of Cthulhu’s form.

Slumbering Tumor: Vita Carnis has no spawn item. They must be found and dismantled to awaken its true form. Inside of its nest, the ichor-producing tumor sits between its guardians, and once destroyed, she will awaken. Your reward is the Blood Bulb, the heart of the totem.

Deadman’s Cross: To summon Scorch’yon, go to the badlands and lift the Deadman’s Cross, which is constructed from necrotic bones and sinew. You can also summon her by entering her nest and breaking some of her eggs (roughly 3-4). Your reward for defeating her is the Bloody Ribcage, the second to final part of the idol.

There is no spawn item for the worm of Baphomet. However, when descending into the sulfuric seas, you have a chance to find some of her children. If you are to slay enough of them, then she will roll forth to defend her offspring, not stopping until you either leave the biome or are killed. Your reward is the Aching Stomach, the final piece to the idol.

Once you have the idol constructed, you will have to descend into the underworld’s deepest layer and throw the idol into the frozen lake and watch it melt the eldritch ice and sink below. This will awaken your final boss.

Other Notes;

This is just a flat vague build for a story game. It can be interpreted many ways, and some of the resources may also be interpreted differently, so stay safe and good luck on your adventure!

Good luck. Zoeta needs you. Ethrum needs you. Abaddon needs you…we all need you.
