The Origins of the Two Worlds

  Millions of years ago, before civilization as we know it, there existed two parallel worlds. One was Earth, a realm of logic, nature, and evolving humanity. The other was a world of dreams, illusions, and creatures beyond comprehension—a place that defied the laws of physics and reason. These two universes were meant to exist separately, but the ultimate humans, a god-like ancient race with the power to shape reality, saw a flaw in their design.

  They switched the worlds.

  Why they did this remains unknown, but from that moment, Earth and the surreal world were never the same. Humanity developed on the wrong planet, cut off from its true origins, while the monstrous beings of the dream world adapted to an existence they were never meant to have. The balance between the two realms remained intact for millennia—until Dr. Thorne’s experiments accidentally disrupted everything.

  Nyx’s World: A Day in the Life

  The world Nyx lived in was a vibrant yet eerie kingdom, an eternal carnival of the bizarre. Here, people played volleyball with human heads, feasted on each other’s flesh as a marriage ritual, and celebrated life in ways that would terrify an outsider. Nyx thrived in this world, believing it was the only reality that existed.

  One day, she found herself running through the twisted streets, past towering buildings made of pulsating flesh and roads that whispered beneath her feet. She was late.

  The meeting was being held in a grand, grotesque hall, with towering columns resembling twisted bones. At its center sat Seraphina, the carnival overlord, a woman with the face of a seraphim and a dozen burning eyes. She frowned as Nyx stumbled in.

  “You’re late.” Seraphina’s voice was silk and steel.

  Nyx bowed slightly. “Sorry, Seraphim.”

  The meeting was about what happened after death, a topic that fascinated their kind. Souls were a currency in their world, and what came next was an unsolved mystery. The discussion was intense, but Nyx found herself distracted. Something felt different today.

  After the meeting, Nyx met her friends—Celeste, Orion, Theo, and Lucius—at a weirdcore café. The drinks were a thick, black liquid harvested from human stomachs. They laughed, exchanged stories, and enjoyed each other’s eerie company. As the night grew late, Nyx bid them farewell and walked alone toward her house next to the sea.

  The Arrival of Ash

  The sea, a light red expanse that shimmered like liquid rubies, stretched endlessly before her. But something was wrong. A haze formed on the horizon, twisting and warping the air like a mirage.

  Then, it happened.

  A figure appeared from the haze, stumbling onto the shore. Human. Unlike anything Nyx had ever seen. He was dressed in strange clothes, his eyes wide with terror. The moment their eyes met, both of them screamed.

  Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  Nyx reacted instinctively, attacking him with terrifying speed. Ash barely had time to process what was happening before she was on him. He fought back, but she was too strong. With a swift movement, she stabbed his eye.

  His blood spilled into the red sea, turning it an even deeper crimson.

  He collapsed, but Nyx caught him to her arms.

  Nyx’s Decision

  Nyx stared at his unconscious body. This creature—this thing—was an anomaly. Her world was supposed to be the only world. Yet here he was.

  She couldn’t let him go.

  She dragged him to her house near, a structure of living vines and bones, and undressed him to make sure he wasn’t hiding anything dangerous. Then she locked him in a cage which was big enough for him to fit, but he couldn’t move in it. Nyx was sitting nearby with a weapon in hand, waiting for him to wake in fear and doubt.

  The Encounter

  Ash stirred, his mind swimming in confusion and pain. As his vision slowly cleared, he found himself staring at Nyx—her glowing red eyes, her glowing blonde her, that extra eyes on the forehead and chest. She was terrifying... yet stunning.

  Then he realized he was naked.

  “Where am I?! Who are you?! Where are my clothes?!” he shouted, his voice raw with panic.

  Nyx flinched, not expecting him to talk. Her weapon fell of her head. “It can… speak.”

  “What the hell is going on?!” Ash’s breathing grew ragged. “What are you?!”

  Nyx slowly crouched next to the cage, reaching out as if to touch him. Ash recoiled instantly. “Get away from me!”

  Nyx tilted her head, fascinated. His fear, his voice, his entire existence intrigued her in a way she couldn’t explain. Ash, despite his terror, couldn’t stop staring at her. She was monstrous, yet oddly beautiful.

  Then he noticed something strange—his stabbed eye wasn’t bleeding anymore. He touched his face and felt bandages. She had wrapped it?

  “How…?” he thought. And that was the moment Ash felt a bit of safe.

  Nyx couldn’t find words to say, but then she finally spoke, her voice softer than before. “Hi.”

  Ash blinked. He was supposed to hate her. He was kidnapped, naked, wounded. But an urge inside him for Nyx, made him answer.

  “Hello…”

  Dr. Thorne’s Tragedy

  Far away, on earth that Ash had left behind, Canada, Dr. Thorne sat in his empty laboratory, staring at the ceiling. His hands trembled as he realized his fatal mistake.

  He had forgotten to send the rock.

  The one thing that could bring Ash back was still here, in his hands. And the serum’s effect had already faded. Even if he sent it now, there was no guarantee it would reach the right universe.

  A deep sense of horror washed over him. He had ruined a boy’s life. Ash was gone, lost in an unknown world. He could be dead. He could be suffering.

  The weight of his actions crushed him.

  For months, he spiraled into depression, quitting science altogether.

  The backstory

  He tried for years, and one only mistake ruined years of studies. After his sister’s death, he got even more addicted to science.

  He always had believed that there are other universes out there. He tried, and tried, and tried, finally coming up with the drug serum that could teleport everything to other worlds.

  He first started to teleport objects, to make sure it works. Then, he started to teleport animals, little bugs, flys and even a rabbit. But he noticed that it was useless since they couldn’t come back. So he studied to make something that would bring things back here.

  And after the years of hard work, he was succesful.

  He created 10 limited rocks for his project. But when he realized animals can’t think touch the rock to come back, he decided to send a human.

  He looked outside, it was dark and there was a boy that was walking alone, with earphones on. Ash. Perfect, Dr.Throne thought. While Throne was behind Ash, he couldn’t notice or hear him, but when he did, it was too late.

  Doesn’t matter how much Ash screamed or cried out of help, nobody heard him. Throne send him to Nyx’s world, mistakenly without the rock.
