Heart of the Universe||Sleepy Dimension (Lololoshka)

Archaea is one of the oldest worlds of reality 993. It was in this world that the Beginning was located - a true interworlder that ensured the emergence of the First Ones and the spread of the spark throughout the multiverse.

Previously, Archaea was isolated, like the Interworld. Access here was impossible by conventional means, only through a special ancient ritual. Escape was entirely impossible due to the protective curtain around the world, erected to protect the multiverse from the corrupted Skint's infiltration into all worlds. Planeswalkers here are called "Interworlders," further emphasizing the world's isolation from the rest of the universe. Archaea is a world in which they believe in Purification and the Father. The history of Archaea can be roughly divided into two eras: the Dawn - before the appearance of the veil, and the Darkness - during the veil, but according to the Organization, it is divided into four eras: Calm, Awakening, Decline and Rebirth. The sky throughout Archaea consists of eternal night, illuminating a soft, large glow in the sky.

Ashhold is one of the key cities in the world of Archaea. Ashhold is inhabited primarily by humans who sincerely believe in the Church of Purification and despise its opponents, including hunters. Besides humans, the city also features orcs, dwarves, and anthropomorphic ravens, such as the Cardinal. In the center of Ashhold stands a non-functioning fountain, once used to count the drops of water. Ashhold is home to the most important thing in all of Archaea: the Chantry. The city is surrounded by dark, high, and sturdy walls with large doors that open with a lever on the fortress, protecting it from the Cleansed. In Archaea, hours, minutes, and seconds are unknown. Time is measured in: Drop - 4 seconds, Kiaf - almost 14 minutes, Skiphos - 2 hours and 3 minutes, Karas - 27 hours.

Planeswalkers are beings capable of traveling between worlds using the Organ of Interdimensional Travel (OIT). Planeswalkers originate from the Archean dimension and, thanks to the First Ones, have spread throughout the multiverse. Planeswalkers cannot be considered a separate species or race, as they can be any intelligent being. They have no distinguishing features other than the presence of a special "organ," the WMD, better known as the "Spark." Thanks to this, planeswalkers possess the ability to "walk through worlds," as their name suggests.

On average, planeswalkers make up 0.4% of all sentient beings in existence.[1] Their prevalence is limited not to just one world, but to entire realities. In other universes, they are not particularly distinct from one another, but, for example, in the JDH's home reality, the WMD is called a "Flash" rather than a "Spark," although the basic name remains.

Not everyone loves and favors planeswalkers, and some even openly hate and despise them. Due to the vastly superior power and variability of their Spark's appearance, not all planeswalkers use it for good. As a result, various realities gradually developed various concepts of prisons designed specifically for planeswalkers. One of these was Vidomnia, where planeswalkers were drained of their Spark, turning them into helpless dusks.

Skint are the tiny particles of a planeswalker's Spark that remain after an interdimensional action. It appears as a yellow crystal, medium-sized, in the Dream Dimension. Corrupted Skint is the same crystal, but purple. Corrupted Skint usually grows on the Purified in Archaea.

Sparks are the main currency in Archea and are one of the "gifts" of the Father. They look like little stars.

The Church is the primary religion and authority in Archaea. Its goal was to infect all inhabitants of the world with the corrupted Scythian and free "Father" Tadmavriel from his imprisonment, after which the centuries-old veil over the world would fall and the "Great Purification" would begin. Besides the Father, his book is the most valuable to the Church of Purification. Its contents are a distorted version of Archaean history, focusing on Tadmavriel and the corrupted Scythian. His son, Egrasel, and the planeswalkers are not mentioned at all. The Cult of the Father is all that remains of the Church of Purification in the Archaea of ​​the future. It's a small organization whose meetings took place in the back room of one of Silanhva's schools. It can't be called anything impressive or influential. Rather, it's a simple sect whose leaders' primary goal is to squeeze money out of the desperate citizens. The Father remains a key figure for them, but many facts about him have been significantly distorted over time: for example, they believe that Lukiy was the son of Tadmavriel. Most people in Akhreya obey the Father and the Church, thirsting for Purification (which is an infection), but deep down, a few doubt the correctness of their faith. At the head of this Church are: Tadmavriel (He is the same Father), Bishop Lukiy (His close friend, assistant), Cardinal (Raven like Never, but lighter. Real name - Sorven), Godric (formerly).

The Dream Dimension is a personal dimension for every being in the multiverse, where they dream. Lololoshka discovered it thanks to Never, who transported him there. The Dream Dimension intersects with all worlds in the multiverse and adapts to them.

Description: The dream world is not permanent, nor does it have a day-night cycle in the traditional sense. The appearance and state of sleep are likely influenced by many factors, such as personality, mental state, mental disorders (if any), and so on. The main characteristic of the world is the rapid recovery of the organisms within it and a significant slowdown in the spread of infection.

While in the Dream World immaterially (or in a literal dream), it behaves like a normal dream, i.e. the structure and characters are created from various fragments of memories. Lololoshka's dream world looked like a network of small islands, created for him by Never using void magic. On the central island was the crystal of the Guiding Skint, though how it ended up there is unknown. In the dream world, there is no sky, sun, or clouds. Instead, there is a pleasant glow, like the Northern Lights, that can change according to the state of its owner—that is, Lololoshka.

Bishop Lukiy is a local church official who oversaw its proper functioning and was previously one of the influential figures in Ashhold.

He is a follower and faithful servant of the Father, and also one of the first incarnate ones, who, however, was later disembodied. Bishop Lukiy appears as an older man with a long beard. His eyes are a rich green, and his hair is dark brown with a hint of gray. He wears a giant white priest's hat with gold details and the symbol of the local church, as well as a white cassock with gold accents.

Unlike other incarnates, Lukii lacked the growths of the infected skink, making him outwardly indistinguishable from an ordinary human. The only thing that gave him away was the lack of any aging process. Sorven noted that Lukii's appearance had hardly changed over the years. Even before the founding of the Church of Purification, Lukiy had a close friendship with Tadmavriel. At first glance, Bishop Lukiy appears to be a kind and sympathetic priest, happy to help his parishioners. Despite his apparent benevolence, everyone fears him, as evidenced by the fact that even the local inquisitor, a powerful warrior, was frightened by the Bishop and his words about "removal." Lukiy is cunning and cunning; over many years, he has become adept at disguising himself in order to get what he wants. Lukiy is directly linked to the extermination of the elves, including Cyrissa's past.

Capabilities: Knowledge of many ancient rituals and spells: Spell "Spear of the Father", Control of the infected skint - The ability to grow skint crystals yourself, Summoning and control of the incarnate, The ability to embody others, Creation of crystal protection. Other: Has authority among people, since it has a direct relationship with power.

Cyrissa is the last surviving elf in Archaea. She previously lived in the Maribor forest, but after being infected and cured, she settled in a refugee camp, and then in John's dream. She is an elf, and like all members of her race, she is distinguished by her tall stature and long, slender arms. Her skin is dark, and her hair is ash-white. Sirissa's eyes are a deep green. Sirissa wears a green robe that resembles a cape or cloak. She usually wears a hood that completely covers her head. She also wears brown pants and boots. Sirissa has a secretive nature, trusting no one but herself. She hates humans more than anything and openly wishes for their extinction. However, her contempt is justified, as humans are indirectly responsible for the complete extermination of her people. She is very fond of animals. Before the arrival of the protagonists, she tried to help the incarnate creatures by using enchanting dust on them.

Although she may not know much due to the conditions in which she was raised, Sirissa is far from stupid and can easily manipulate when she needs to. John knew her, having stumbled upon her territory in the forest, and they became acquainted. Later, John told Lololoshka about her, and they eventually sent Berengarius to help her prepare the powder for the Purification.

Capabilities: Survival in the wild – Stealth and agility Trap Making Skills Ability to use bladed weapons Archery skills. Alchemy – Creation of potions and decoctions known only to elves. Creating Enchanting Dust: Her sister taught her how to do this.

Wamuu - Flesh-eating worm, infected.

Vamu is medium sized. Wamu is a worm hatched from an infected egg found in a rat den, hatched by Never for Lololoshka. It feeds on any kind of meat in exchange for a small amount of sparks. It grows by eating a special kind of meat, which can be obtained from incarnate creatures. It looks like a large, elongated worm, covered in skints, with a huge mouth. It can stare intently at someone and turn its entire body in that direction (to observe).

Alfred was a young hunter who belonged to Godfrey's group. All the team members died, including Godfrey, but Alfred survived and decided to continue their work. A young, short, pale man with light hair and sideburns. He wears light leather armor and a large metal helmet.

While infected, his eyes became overgrown with distorted skink, temporarily rendering him blind. (He is now healthy.)

He is a young, inexperienced hunter, suffering a profound personal tragedy. He struggles to come to terms with the loss of his team, especially Godfrey, whom he considered a father figure. He is self-deprecating and feels weak in comparison to the fallen hunters, believing he doesn't deserve to survive. Despite this, he maintains a sense of humor, which helps him cope with the weight of reality. He values ​​his life, but is willing to face death for the honor of those who died, seeing his mission as a continuation of their legacy.

Alfred possesses a strong will to live. He's willing to endure humiliation if it means survival, but at the same time, he's not averse to laughing at the absurdity of what's happening around him. Determined and courageous, Alfred will never stand aside when help is needed. Even when he lost his sight, he still tried to help somehow, just to avoid being a "burden" to his team. Capabilities: Skill in wielding a sword. Medical knowledge: Alfred trained as a physician. Due to the fact that he was not completely infected, he was able to retain his sanity and gained the ability to penetrate the Father’s consciousness.

Berengarius is an alchemist brought to the Dream Dimension by Lololoshka. He has a thick dark beard and facial hair. His eyes are brown, and he wears a hat-like headdress. He wears a brown cape, and what appears to be a tattoo can be seen on his arms.

Berengarius is a good-natured, friendly, and charismatic man. He has an outdated manner of speaking, often using phrases like "evo kako." He is always open to conversation and eager to make new acquaintances. His optimism sometimes borders on absurdity, as he even maintains a friendly relationship with the Cardinal, who ordered his execution.

He's quite simple-minded and thinks he knows more because of his age. This isn't always true, but Berengarius is truly remarkable for his intelligence and cunning. He won't simply believe a word until he sees it with his own eyes.

Berengarius fears nothing but death. His excessive bravery would have nearly led to his execution by the Church, had Lololoshka not saved him. He believes that if someone is caught using his potions, it's not his fault, as he makes a pact with everyone, and anyone who spills the beans and dies has broken that pact. He became good friends with Gimlin. Capabilities: Alchemy – Good knowledge of various Archean herbs, Creating various brews, including Elven brew, which uses Elven blood, The creation of transformation potions: transforming any creature into a human. These had a short-term effect specifically to encourage customers and the Church to purchase his potions in large quantities. Making a memory-erasing potion, Euthanasia.

Gimlin is an ordinary Dwarf who was saved by Lololoshka when a horde of infected was approaching his settlement. He is a typical representative of his dwarven race. He is short, has green eyes, and red hair. He wears heavy steel armor and wields a war hammer.

Gimlin is a stubborn and proud dwarf, rude and skeptical of outsiders. He harbors hatred for the taller races, whom he calls "longlings," but respects humans if they display warlike qualities, as he adheres to strict laws of war.

He often likes to be lazy and put things off until later, especially since he had to make Lololoshka a bunch of amulets, which Gimlin had been putting off for a very long time. He became good friends with Mark, as the Crimson considered the dwarves to be good fighters and allies.

Mrk'grsh'traklar, or simply Mark the Purple One, previously lived in an underground church in an abandoned valley; after being forced to save himself in battle, he settled in the sleepy world of Lololoshka. Mark is a typical representative of the purple race, and his character is quite difficult to describe. He feels anger towards everything around him and strives to seize the will of anyone who possesses it. Even if he feels gratitude or admiration, he never expresses it openly.

Mark is very warlike; in the heat of battle, he doesn't even notice his allies and can easily wound them. He also hates hiding, never admits his weakness, and dislikes being helped. However, despite this, he also has his own honor. For example, as a sign of gratitude to Lololoshka for everything he did for him, Mark didn't kill Alfred or fight John. But, as he himself said, he will never tell him about this honor.

Mark is also very passionate; for insulting the Church of Purification, he was ready to kill everyone he had fought alongside just a few hours earlier, though this changed over time (he was forced to serve the Church). Furthermore, his interest is focused on various mechanisms, especially watches. Mark differs from other members of his race in his small stature and lack of sanguimancy, which is a huge complex for him. He has crimson eyes, and his entire body is dark brown, almost black. He wears black and red robes, and his head is hidden under a hood. Unlike other purple-skinned warriors, Mark lacks sanguimancy, but is instead highly skilled in weapons and blacksmithing. Because of this, he considers himself a freak and a mistake. Capabilities: Fire magic, His blacksmithing skills are impressive: according to Mark, it’s his hobby, He understands watchmaking.

Never is an old raven who was infected with skint and wanted to attack Lololoshka, but the hero was able to defeat Never and heal him. Never appears as a giant anthropomorphic raven, clad in a hooded cloak. He has clawed raven feet instead of legs and large wings instead of arms, allowing him to fly. He's an old, grumpy, and slightly arrogant raven. He dislikes everyone, especially humans, as they were the ones who destroyed his tribe. However, he can sometimes show pity or compassion, as was the case with Leonora and her mother. He dislikes noisy groups and prefers to sit alone. He has a lisp and struggles to pronounce the letter "l" very well, which is why he calls Lololoshka "Rororoshka." He also likes to call Lololoshka "Fool," and JDH "Fool Number Two."

He was deeply depressed and blamed himself for being the only one of his tribe to survive, the "unworthy one." Because of this, he spends most of his time sleeping, even in the Dream World, and hates being woken. Capabilities: Flight. Void Magic: Can create various objects and islands in the Dream Dimension, as well as transport various creatures between worlds, or different places within one world, and attack with void spheres. Knowledge of ancient spells.

JDH, or more precisely John Davey Harris, is an alternate version of Lololoshka from reality 994. As it turns out, he was destined to intervene to disrupt the Organization's eternal work, thanks to the constant calls of the Origin. JDH's appearance is practically identical to Lololoshka's. Instead of the usual hoodie and pants, he wears a white business suit with rolled-up sleeves, and his scarf and glasses are orange instead of blue. He wears gray shoes and turned-up trousers. In his first appearance, he wore an orange Interworld mask. His body is an exact copy of Lololoshka's, except for his fingerprints. Unlike Lololoshka, John isn't known for his taciturnity and good nature. He's very emotional and talkative, often interrupting others. Almost every word he says is accompanied by a joke or sarcasm, whereas Lololoshka almost never jokes. John makes funny faces and generally acts frivolously, like a child or a "grown-up hooligan." His actions are spontaneous and unpredictable.

John often behaves toxically and indifferently towards others. He chooses his words skillfully to humiliate his opponents and demonstrate their genius and intelligence, which, however, is not a lie. He never lies, but this does not prevent him from hiding things. John also has a younger sister, Sasha (she is approximately 17-18 years old). He is known for creating automatons and the well-known company that creates them, JCompany. Author of the book "The Strange Oddities of Misra." Capabilities: Moving between worlds, Adaptation to the environment, Void magic, Increased endurance, Slowed down aging process, Void combat magic, Sanguimancy, Spark, Summoning the Sword of the Traveler (true bearer), Can communicate telepathically with Lololoshka, Merging with Lololoshka into Jonoloshka. As their bodies merge, a unified self emerges.

Lololoshka is a planeswalker, the main character. A tall man (190 cm) with pale skin, hazel eyes, light brown, slightly curly and tousled hair with bangs slanted slightly to the left; he wears white headphones with black ear pads and light blue inserts, as well as light blue decorative glasses with black lenses that obscure his eyes. He wears a white hoodie with a slight slant to a soft blue, black stripes on the puffy sleeves, and black laces. He wears a black and light blue checkered scarf made of a thin fabric; black pants with two light blue suspenders hanging down; and light blue sneakers with white soles. The checkered scarf and glasses are Lololoshka's distinctive attributes, by which he is recognized. Lololoshka himself is easygoing and balanced, not particularly talkative. He is kind and fair to other characters. Sometimes, of course, he can be frivolous, inattentive, and naive, which can lead him to make objectively wrong decisions. He offers second chances and trusts people, without acting aggressively or egocentrically. He can come up with complex ideas and devise intricate plans.

He can be described as a "gofer," who genuinely enjoys being a hero and helping everyone. He sometimes neglects his own time, desires, and occasionally even moral standards, so that he will be viewed favorably in the future. Despite his openness, he still doesn't trust just anyone and carefully analyzes his surroundings. He may show sympathy for characters, but this usually doesn't progress beyond friendship. Capabilities: Your own pocket dimension, Creating barriers, Summoning the Sword of the Traveler (Using the JDH spell), Energy attacks, Spark, Can communicate telepathically with JDH, Merging with Lololoshka into Jonoloshka. As their bodies merge, a unified self emerges.
