Rift

The equipment of the task participants includes: an assault rifle and a pistol, which are based on the mechanism of the God's nuclei. The Valkyrie suit, which allows you to protect your body and conduct the energy of the God's nucleus through your body to your weapons and equipment. A radar on your arm, which allows you to monitor the changes in the Rift after they occur. A helmet for dangerous disasters. A melee weapon (a knife for everyone else, a chain for Sheron)

There are two main dangers: monsters and constant changes in the landscape. While the second is clear: the world is constantly changing, which can lead to confusing paths, gaps, and more. The first danger (monsters): These are the main inhabitants of the Rift, and they are completely different from each other, with their own unique behaviors and appearances.

Sharon is a fairly young soldier, around 28 years old, with long blond hair that reaches his shoulders and an expressive face. Despite his easy-going nature, he is disciplined and attentive (due to his difficult childhood as a slave to one of the gods). In Deus Ex Machine, he stands out for his determination, which earned him the title of the youngest person to receive a god's nuclei transplant (at the age of 25). He was transplanted with the nuclei of a plant god, so the mutation was appropriate: flowers grew out of his eye sockets, completely covering his eyes what made him blind(a special device was invented that allowed him to see using echolocation). The abilities he gained after the transplant (in addition to increased strength and physical characteristics): improved hearing, a sense of danger (allows him to sense something is wrong, but does not explain what it is)

Wormholes have started to appear on Earth, unlike the ones that the gods come through - these wormholes last for a long time and constantly flash with strange colors. Inside the Rifts, there is a constantly changing world and creatures whose appearance is also strange and often unstable.

At the moment, it is impossible to determine when the Rift will change.

This is an organization that was built by the Valkyries and the gods who disagreed with human slavery. It is a network of locations around the world, including communication centers, military centers, medical centers, camps (temporary resting places for the rescued), and cities (permanent residences for the people rescued by the organization, often located in remote areas).

In the past, all the gods lived in different worlds, depending on their purpose and nature. However, 1200 years ago, the World (an intangible entity) summoned them together and ordered them to establish a common government. This led to the creation of the God Council, a body that regulated the interactions of the gods in all the worlds and consisted of 12 gods chosen by the World.

With the establishment of the God Council, there were many dissenters who opposed the idea of being regulated. These dissenters united and began to prepare. After 1,000 years, the council was supposed to meet again to re-elect the rulers, but the dissenters rose up and unleashed a wave of murder. At the same time, the Titans (distorted giants resembling grotesque nature) were released, and they also began to kill the gods. The survivors fled, and the goddess Cosmos sent the Titans to Earth to prevent them from eating the godly cores left behind by the deceased gods.

Three decades later, the god Necros was born in the depths of the Titan world. He studied the nature of God's nuclei and concluded that

In contrast to demigods, demi-humans are people who have had their God's nuclei transplanted. Half of the core is transplanted to such people, because the transplantation of a complete core inevitably leads to the decomposition of the body. Such employees are distinguished by various abilities (from seeing in the dark to sensing Rift changes and everything in between) and mutations (anything from eye flowers to body changes to animal elements and everything in between). There are few such employees because transplanting even half of a god's nuclei is dangerous if the human body is not trained.

There are nuclei inside every creature, but only after the death of a god do the nuclei live for more than a week. When other creatures die, the nuclei disappear. God's Nuclei are the nuclei themselves. They are divided into two layers: an outer shell called the soul (which stores memories) and an inner shell called the echo (which stores personality and all outgoing information).
