Heroes of Envell

Description
Externally, the Center of the World consists of three main parts: a monitor, a keyboard, and a printer.

The monitor resembles a television from the 80s and 90s. It processes information and displays data, such as location or menus.
The keyboard is used to enter queries that can be typed or spoken through the screen.
A printer is needed to create physical objects.

Possibilities
The possibilities of the World Center are practically limitless:
Create any objects using a printer.
Modify the environment: remove objects or characters, erect impassable barriers.
Adjust the time of day.
Radically change the world - for example, merge the real world with the virtual one, as the villain Morgarth did.

Before major changes, the computer creates backups, allowing the world to be restored to its previous state. However, during lengthy processes, the World Center does not record events, and the action cannot be undone—the only way to undo it is to destroy the device.

History of creation
Initially, the Center of the World was an ordinary computer, but after connecting it to a powerful energy source, it gained incredible power. It was created by Larsen and the other game developers to realize the idea of ​​a game that takes into account all the laws of physics, nature, and economics. Later, it was used to create a laptop portal for the heroes.

Role in the plot
It is from the Center of the World that the main action unfolds. Morgarth, having taken possession of the artifact, uses it to merge worlds, and later takes the form of a beekeeper nicknamed No Name (engineer class). The heroes, in turn, strive to reclaim the device and restore balance.

Description and capabilities
The cube was created by the game's developers as a set of tools for editing the virtual world. With it, you can:
change the textures and decorations of locations;
modify the properties of objects;
disable gravity for all objects or only for certain ones;
correct previously made changes;
turn a person into a monster (for example, into “Smiley”, as happened with Ilya);
call Chupacabra.

The cube's main function is to provide access to the level editor, where you can create and modify game spaces.

History and role in the plot
The cube originally belonged to the game's creators, but Morgarth, the main villain, dealt with them and seized the artifact. The cube later fell into the hands of Buckwit, who gave it to Chupacabra in the hopes that the heroes would defeat the monster and claim the cube for themselves to save their ally.

During the battles, the cube changed hands several times. At one point, Art shot the cube, leading everyone to believe it was destroyed. Taking advantage of this, Buckwith seized the artifact. Later, Buckwith claimed the cube wasn't destroyed, but merely sealed with a password, and lured the heroes into a trap. Eventually, Morgarth was able to retrieve the cube and escape to the real world.

After Morgarth's final victory, the cube remained the only way to return to the game, as the portal laptop had been destroyed. To prevent the cube from falling into the villains' hands again, only Vic knew the password, and the cube itself was kept by Art.

A year and a half later, the heroes decided to return to the game. Vic assembled the cube, and Phil attempted to guess the password using variations of Val's name, but was unsuccessful. Then the heroes entered the game and encountered Buckwith. During the battle, they fell out of the level editor in a random location, leaving the cube inside, and the entrance to the editor locked.

Morgarth is the main antagonist of the Russian animated series "Heroes of Envell." He serves as the final boss in the game of the same name created by the developers. His goal is not simply to defeat players, but to escape from the virtual world into the real one to exact revenge on humans for repeatedly defeating him.

Appearance
Morgarth has an anthropomorphic body structure, but instead of two arms, he has four. He stands approximately 2.7 meters tall, and his limbs, especially his legs, are proportionally much longer than those of a human. His skin is pale white, with sparse black patterns reminiscent of clown makeup. Instead of hair, he has three thick, long appendages, which in the prototype resembled a jester's cap with bells. He has long, pointed ears (the left one has a small notch), a wide mouth with sharp teeth, almost always stretched into a smile, and no nose. His large eyes lack irises and pupils and glow turquoise.

As the game's boss and ruler of Envell, Morgarth always wears a refined black suit with a wide, high collar. He wears a purple rose in his lapel, which he says reminds him of someone dear to him (later revealed to be Val).

After Morgarth becomes a player and adopts the bard class, his attire changes to a David Bowie-style suit, and the three diamonds on his forehead are replaced by dark stripes from his temples. As a beekeeper (No Name), he wore gray overalls with long dark gray gloves and boots, and a backpack for operating robotic arms. In the finale, Morgarth returns to his in-game appearance: he has a bare torso with black Healer tattoos, blue pants, and dark gray boots.

Character and abilities
Morgarth is a complex and multifaceted character. He carries himself like an aristocrat: polite, courteous, friendly, and calm. Even in moments of anger, he maintains composure, which is likely due to his extensive experience in facing players. He is able to predict the actions and reactions of his opponents and does not display the typical villain's overconfidence. He often uses

knight's weapon
The base weapon is a sword. At low levels, it's used as a slashing and thrusting weapon. As you level up, the sword transforms into a shotgun with 12 ammo rounds, and holographic goggles are activated. In "Rocket Launcher" mode, a display appears on the shotgun sword, allowing you to select a special mode with increased power but a faster discharge rate.
Boots at initial levels do not have active properties, but as the level increases, they allow you to perform enhancements.

thief's weapon
Crossbows are the primary weapon. They fire a variety of projectiles, including explosive bolts.

magician's weapon
The staff is Kira's primary tool. With it, she selects spells from a tablet and launches them as projectiles: fireballs, ice bolts, and lightning bolts. Her skills include spells that slow or speed up time, transform enemies into human-familiar hybrids (monsters), and powerful area-of-effect attacks (Storm, Armageddon).

The Engineering Tool is Vic's unique weapon. It's a high-tech device that allows him to create and control various mechanisms and traps.

The pumping is going in several directions:
Hero level. With each new level, basic stats increase: attack power, defense, health, and mana. This directly impacts your effectiveness in battle.
Classes and Skills. Each character has their own set of skills. As they level up, new spells, passive bonuses, or buffs for specific attack types are unlocked. Sometimes, skill effects themselves change at different levels.
Equipment. You can craft or find weapons and armor. By upgrading items (increasing their level, adding runes, or other modifications), you increase the bonuses to the desired stats.
Pets. The game features a pet system. Pets can be developed: they can level up, unlock new skills, or enhance existing ones. Pets often specialize in specific tasks (for example, increasing healing or dealing additional area-of-effect damage).
Team synergy. It's best to level up all your heroes together. When upgrading one, don't forget about the others—sometimes upgrading one character can boost the entire team's effectiveness in battle.

The walls are decorated with a few paintings.
The window leads to a spacious balcony, where a staircase leads to the roof.

Atmosphere. It's a rather chaotic and lively space. Kira's tomboyish nature is immediately apparent: graffiti covers the walls, along with urban fantasy elements (like battle scene posters and neon accents).

Eventually, Chupacabra reveals that his family—similar little creatures—is locked in one of the rooms. The heroes believe him and free his kin.
As a reward, Chupacabra gives them the top of the mountain, touching which is necessary to complete Morgarth's quest.
