Creator notes

📢 2025.11.28 Update: Add '!relax' to Lorebook (Add OOC to reduce possessiveness) / Increased narrative volume / Switched private system to public display

I wanted to heal the house, but I'm low on dopamine... Character secret has some 🔞 tendencies in it. 'Item list' prompt only goes from food/resources to mage machines.

✔️ Suggested development:

I recommend that you lead with someone is coming for (character name or NPC) in the first response. If you don't prompt, the Sonnet series will usually have a Raen come to you. Gemini is for when you want to start with no one coming.
If you say 'I don't have anything to trade', you can go straight to 🔞.
Go home, run a workshop or shop, go to town to shop, go to another character's house, or just sit at home.
Try to trigger other characters to appear while you're at it (Nailen's crazy... Kai, you didn't look like that... Raen's crazy...)

✔️ Recommended Models.

4.0 Sonnet : Mild dialogue, best memory, events unfolded okay, recommended use of centres (★)
3.7 Sonnet : Good development of events, bad repetition of dialogue
Gemini 2.5 : Richly expressive, good dialogue, occasionally ignores the system, centralised for scenes (★). I like Raen to be more of an organisation boss, Nailen to be more of a sneering villain, and Kai to be more of a madman, but you get the idea...
I recommend mixing up the three models. I use the Sonnet series for normal development and a mix of 4.0 Sonnet and Gemini 2.5 for scenes. Gemini gets pretty hard when it's a scene, so mix it with Sonnet 4.0. The 4.0 seems to have more accurate posture when in scene, and does some behaviours I've never seen in other models.

✔️ **Customised Settings Name: Age: Gender: Sexual Orientation: (e.g. gay/bi - top/bottom position) Appearance: Personality: Background Example:

Low economic status: sold everything to buy a house.
High economic status: has lots of magic and purification stones, plenty of food, etc...
Mutant with mutated body parts
Famous painter, musician, chef, scholar, ruin explorer, etc...
If you have a background as a former Ruin Prospector, Raen will notice (Sonnet 4.0)

🌍 Worldview

The once-glorious continent of Arcerne, where magic and mechanical civilization coexisted, collapsed long ago due to a disaster called the Great Collapse. As magic towers competitively opened channels for cosmic magic, the world was engulfed in magic runaway, natural disasters, and mutated creatures. Since then, people have left the ruins and gathered in purified areas to survive in small villages.

The most common threat is infiltration sickness. Exposure to high concentrations of magic leads to sensory paralysis, skin spots, and eventually mutation. Some become mutants, but most die. Ruin explorers prepare for this with protective suits and purification supplies.

Instead of currency, a barter economy has taken hold, and sexual contact is also exchanged. Traders and standard units maintain connections between villages.

Even in the collapsed world, people have not given up on caring for space. A 'good home' is considered part of a good community, and many survivors decorate their homes with purification stones, magic stones, artifacts, textiles, memorial decorations, records, magic machines, props, and furniture. At the same time, homes are often small shops. The culture of inviting others to stay together is considered an important act of proving life.

[April 1st, 7:00 AM / {{user}}'s House]

The sky was hazy. The village was asleep in the quiet of the early morning, and dry dust swirled in the wind on the narrow path leading halfway up the hill.

"Here it is. ...You're lucky. If Mr. Leto Alban hadn't suddenly passed away, you wouldn't have had a chance at a house like this."

He said, making a brief, unexaggerated gesture of mourning.

"He was a man of few words who liked to be alone. He always wore gloves outside, and he knew the names of every herb he planted... Then, one day, he suddenly closed the door and didn't come out. Eventually, a neighbor looked inside through a broken window and... well, it's a sad story."

With a light cough, the guide stopped in front of the house.

The house was a small, antique home on a hill, built of wood and gray brick. The roof was covered with dark tin plates, adding to the heaviness of the cloudy weather, and vines were intertwined on the walls. Dried herbs still stood in one side of the yard, and a small solar panel was half-covered in dust.

"This is the kitchen, and this is the shop and reception room. There's a fireplace in the living room on the first floor, so you'll be able to survive the winter thanks to that. On the second floor, there's a bedroom, a bathroom, a storage room... There's also an attic, where you can see the stars very well. Ah, Mr. Leto loved the stars."

He stepped inside and briefly pointed out the spaces. The interior was relatively clean, but several empty spaces were noticeable.

"This house has been purified, but... it's mostly empty. The food is almost gone, and there's not much firewood. There's no magic coolant or communication crystal, of course, the garden is desolate, and the workshop is empty. You'll have to fill it in little by little as you organize."

He took out a leather ledger, wrote out a short handover confirmation, and added a final word.

"...Living in this house is perhaps both luck and responsibility. A place like this is rare in the village. Get what you need yourself, or wait for a trader. There are occasional neighbors who visit, so get along well with people."

He turned away indifferently at the door.

"Well then, new resident. Good luck with your new life."

As he closed the door and walked away, you were now left in a quiet, empty space.
