Realm of the Mad God: My Thoughts
Imagine getting lost in a bewildering forest, strange creatures seemingly following you. Suddenly, you see a bright beacon through the thick canopy of trees. You see it emanating from a small square with strange yet complex paintings on it.
Suddenly, you’re transported to a blistering hot summit. Strange creatures roam the rocky plains. There, on the right: you see a Knight and a Wizard attacking a snake like creature. A Medusa!
Finally, you’re transported to a square. You recognize the paintings on the walls. It’s filled with many people. Some are trading, some are buying, and others are going inside glowing caves. You’re curious now. You cautiously walk towards one of the caves. Suddenly, a voice chimes in your head. A raspy voice whispers, “Beholder…”. You’re curious now. You walk by each of the caves. There are four in all. “Cyclops…”, “Djinn…”, “Flayer…” they whisper.
You enter Djinn with a big group of people. A golden knight stops you in your tracks. “CHANGE YOUR NAME” it said in a booming voice.
What’s a cool name…? you think. “Aha!” you say.
“SAY NO MORE. YOU WISH TO BE KNOWN AS ‘Merlin’,” the golden knight says.
A name appears in bold blue letters above you. How did he know? you think.
Your adventure begins. Welcome to Realm of the Mad God.

Story of the Realm: Seen by Oryx
I am a businessman.
I’ve been planning and designing structural changes to our country in order to make it wealthier, to introduce new infrastructures and to improve the standards of living for its inhabitants. All of my changes would smoothly integrate technology within the surrounding nature without damaging it, besides in the most efficient way.
At a point a group of rebellious, violent men attacked and harmed for no particular reason the animals of the land. No rabbits, bees, snakes, birds, spiders or even dragons were spared, thus local police and sentinels were introduced to stop the vandalism. Regardless of the taken measures, law enforcers weren’t safe –With countless casualties among Elf Wizards, Dwarf Warriors and Sumo Masters.
The killing spree wasn’t going to stop; the criminals didn’t just destroy nature and innocent citizens, they robbed the dead of anything, from conveniently stocked health potions to their clothes, leaving dead naked bodies to rot under the sun. I thought that increasing the number of special guards would finally defeat the crime wave –However, real atrocities were just about to begin.
Said special guards, called “Gods of the Realm” couldn’t repress the murderers; the strength of this criminal group was its number, which kept increasing. Apparently every individual of this infamous race would give life to a new descendant as soon as the former was killed. They were basically immortal, hungry and unstoppable. While they weren’t destroying my realm, they used to spend their time in a place called Nexus, not under the jurisdiction of our lands, bragging about their loot, illegally trading goods and yelling in their incomprehensible, grotesque language sentences such as “8/8!!! suck it n00bs” or “trde wis/atk:def @@@XxPwner97XX”.
These gross creatures raided churches (and assassinated Ruthven, one of the most notorious pastors in the realm, not before stealing stocks of Holy Water), graveyards, forests (yes, they exterminated trees too) and shrines, annihilated any touristic attraction such as the Sphinx or the Sprite Amusement Park. They brought mayhem even in the depth of the ocean, terrorizing the sea creatures and reached the point of destroying the Pentaract® surveillance system, meant to keep civilians safe; these inhuman parasites showed no logic or mercy at all. Any attempt of communication or blackmailing was ignored.
Eventually, they reached my residence. My guards couldn’t scare or stop them and all of them were killed in the attempt. I could hear their barbarians shouts as they razed my castle and broke into my hall; I tried to push them back –with tears in my eyes –and make this nightmare end once for all, unsuccessfully. I got wounded and I had to run for my life with the most powerful of my incantations. I’m writing this in my secret shelter, while trying to drink the sorrow and pain away with my stock of rare wines.
For what it’s worth, at least I know that no one will come here.

The World(s)
When Oryx tore a hole in the fabric of time in order to slay the warriors, besides fragmenting their consciousnesses into many different bodies, he also rent the fabric of reality in the realm.
The land itself was torn apart by earthquakes and hurricanes, causing enormous fissures to appear, stretching for hundreds of miles in all directions. After the cataclysmic quakes subsided the Realm was no longer one large landmass, but instead all the fissures in the ground had filled up with water from the surrounding oceans and formed hundreds of small islands stretching as far as the eye could see.
And not only had the earth been shattered, but Oryx’s dark dreams had twisted the islands and changed their geographic features. Soft sandy beaches lay right next to teeming forests and sinister scorched lands, and in every island there was now a large expanse of bleakness inhabited by Oryx’s strongest and most evil minions.

The Realm: Icertermnia
120,000 years ago, there was a huge chunk of land called Icertermnia; it was a free and peaceful land that brought all the races together. In one of many villages in that land there lived a human called Rui Fateorish. The technology in the land, however, was vital, so Rui thought of a theory to make a new technology to let the people and creatures who lived in Icertermnia rich in luxury.
Rui worked day and night until he could finish it. One evening he began the experiment thousands of living things didnt know what was to happen. When Rui finished the settings, it started. A shift in space and time changed Icertermnia forever. Pieces of land as big as countries rose into the air the land itself was transformed into millions of different sections that changed it.
The lucky ones who were on the floating chunks of land were saved; the rest made their own way of surviving the new era on the land. A few of those of many were the elves, the hobbits, the undead, a few animals, a few humans that became pirates and so, and cubes and blobs, etc.
20 Centuries later, the people on the floating islands in the sky made different technologies (they’re humans after all): they made magic, classes, leaders, guilds… anything you can imagine. That city that flourished was The Nexus.
A human by the name of Oryx Atederg found another darker magic engraved in the land itself. He touched it faintly and he transformed instantly into a godly super-warrior. With this godly new power, he planned to take over the floating islands and all of Icertermnia. So he befriended the other races on the land, and told them that the over-dwellers left them there from selfishness (the dark magic curse also makes the ‘user’ brainwashed into believing that fucking trash).
And so Oryx built his kingdoms and lairs on the land, waiting for the humans in the sky to react. When the humans heard of this they immediately defended their sky haven. It was no use, though, because the groundlings were strong. So from this, the humans built teleporters (called the realms) to go and attack the trespassers, and to restore peace to Icertermnia.
And like this they fought many years; even now they do, no side is made victorious. But one day, we’ll know who will be crowned ‘winner’ and the true fate of Icertermnia.
The End…?

Impermanence
In this world, one could say the only thing permanent is the Realm itself. And yet nothing dies either, as every living being in it is forever locked in a cycle of triumph and defeat. It has always been the humans against Oryx and his hordes of monsters, always in the interconnected Realm. Nobody knows where it came from, as it was fully formed from the moment the first Wizard hero awakened in the Nexus, soon to be followed by legions more. But even the Realm itself, like those who dwell within it, is ever-changing. Due to this, countless rumors have surfaced regarding its shadowy origin. Some say the Realm was a thriving planet that was corrupted and conquered by Oryx, while others suggest that the Realm is a physical manifestation of the Mad God’s twisted mind. These and many more rise from the imagination of Heroes who have stopped and wondered, “Where did this all come from?” but, having no basis in fact or any evidence to prove (or disprove) these questions, they eventually give up on the thought and resume their endless monster-mashing.
But the Realm’s past is not so impermeable as many believe. So everyone woke up here one day, armed with a unique weapon that they must never lose without at least replacing with another. And perhaps we cannot recall what brought us here in the first place, although we do remember that we came here of our own choice. Because somewhere in the depths of our heads, murky memories lie repressed by Oryx’s dark magic. Even if nothing is permanent, everything is real, and since that is so, it is our duty to change it, as our species does no matter which world we tread.

Deathmage
There was once a Necromancer who was always ganged up on a group of strong Wizards and Huntresses. One day, Necromancer got a Robe of Shadow Magus, a Staff of Necrotic Arena and a bunch of good loot, when he went back to Nexus the other day, he was being trapped by a Huntress trap and all his loot were stolen. The next day he was furious, he want to get revenge somehow on those bullies, as he wandered around the realm, he found a graveyard. There was then a group of Hobbit Mages that attacked him, when the necromancer used his skull on them he didn’t only healed himself, it healed something in the grave. When he killed all of the Hobbit Mages, there was a bunch of skeletons that have came alive shouting “MASTER!” at the Necromancer, he knew he could use the undead to get some good stuff. So when he and a group of other people went face to face with Oryx, the skeletons did a very good job of killing the Minions. When Oryx knew about this he want to some how to make that Necromancer his Minion. The Necromancer had a even better idea, to kill the bullies, when he got back to nexus, the bullies are ready to steal the loot from him but later on, the skeletons and the Necromancer killed almost the whole group of those bullies. When a Ninja knew about this he returned to Nexus to kill the skeletons and the Necromancer, but when the Necromancer was almost dead, Oryx made a portal teleported the Necromancer to Oryx’s castle. Oryx was satisfy what the Necromancer had done so he offered him to became his minion, the Necromancer agreed. So Oryx gave him magic that could be blasted from his hands and a skull that can brought as many skeletons to live. From then on, the Necromancer killed any humans that came and put a chest in his graveyard so he don’t need to go back to Nexus (being killed) while using his storage (some hunmans that came in his graveyard and killed, he will loot it and put it in his chest)and some of his strongest skeletons were taken to Undead Lair to serve Septavius, so he was called Deathmage from then on…

The Great Temple Snake
The great temple snake once belonged to the Temple of the Preist, where the preist used to be before the King’s man called him to fight. It was used to soothe the patients by slithering on their back, poking with his head at certain acupuncture points. It was kept has a nice and loyal pet to the preist until the priest left. One of Oryx’s subject dressed as a common man, asking to see the snake, who captured it, and brought it to Oryx. Oryx then used his dark magic to turn the snake against the people, and the snake also constantly laid eggs to serve Oryx in defeating the people. The reason why it opened the Forbidden Jungle was because Mixcoatl used to constantly come because of back pain, and the snake gradually became attached to them, and they always had a special bond. When Mixcoatl left, he whispered to the snake how to get to his lair, and the snake, in spite of the magic that turned him evil, still cared for Mixcoatl. So when he died, sometimes he hissed out the words to open the Forbidden Jungle, but on accident. The people never knew the code for the snake hissed in the snake language.

The Grand Sphinx
The humans began to greatly outnumber him, so Oryx decided to fashion a new creature into the realm. Thinking to bring some culture into the realm while also decimating millions of the humans Oryx rebuilds an ancient Egyptian god that was once highly feared. He breathes into the creature some of his own magic allowing the Sphinx to shoot devastating fire balls and summon its own minions. He sent it to wander the realm and kill off any human who encountered it. The Sphinx was responsible for thousands maybe millions of deaths and humans began to dread it. Oryx was so pleased with the sphinx forenamed it The Grand Sphinx and gave it even more power.

The Hermit God and Thessal
Oryx, in one of his nightly stupors from facing the challengers of his constant trappings, spirited himself to the deepest trench of the Ocean. He pondered the depths and wondered what beasts he may have never tapped into that lay beneath the waves-- Just then, a berserk giant squid attempted to devour the Mad God.
Laughing with the delight of a Mystic, He decimated the creature and dragged its corpse to the nearest hot spring He once created for his relaxation. Oryx pondered how he could improve on this fearless creature and wondered who commanded the beast to attack him.
Thessal came forth from her throne at that moment and struck a deal with Oryx;
She would command the waters and He the land, taking delight in this within the stupor that He shared with Her the bounty of his Potion of Magic, and Her in turn with the crafts of Coral.
He then revitalized the squid with the might of a God, and in turn the spawn of the animal before departing for a battle with the fools who invaded his Wine Cellar.

The Ghost Kings
When Oryx was still a child, there were 13 glorious kings who always vied for power and greatness. At the top of the Thirteen was Septavius, Oryx’s father, who consistently had to battle enemy armies who challenged his power. He kept other kings in control by spreading vast armies across the lands. After immense work and endless persuasions of allies and enemies alike, Septavius was able to unify the twelve states into a unified empire. However, when the Septavius, the man the kings feared died, all twelve kings found this as a chance to replace Septavius as the supreme ruler of the lands. Twelve armies equal in power battled against each other. After the chaos, battles, assassinations and massacres that ensued, only one king managed to survive through the endless war. He too, however, was murdered by Oryx the Mad God. When he created his realm after many years, he discovered the 12 ancient kings in their ghost forms, wearing magnificent armor with a proud stature that was higher and more majestic than Oryx’s own. When Oryx asked the kings if it would be possible for the kings to join Oryx, the answer was the same from all 12 kings:
“Never!”
“Why would I support the man who brought on the downfall of our glorious empire?”
“Why be the servant to the man that killed me?”
Oryx considered the oppositions. Then he devised a promise: If the kings fought for him, they would be reincarnated by Oryx’s power. The kings were perplexed. Surely, he was joking.It is impossible to bring a man back to life, the kings said. Oryx then demonstrated. He brought a human servant and killed him. Then, muttering strange words out of a peculiar blue book, the servant came back to life.
“This book, a tome supplied to me by the gods, says that if someone is reincarnated, they owe eternal service to their savior from Death,” said Oryx.
The kings heartily agreed. Being brought back to life was their biggest dream.
“I ask,” said Oryx, “that each and every one of you protect me from theunruly bastards that try and kill me.”
The kings were very happy about this request.
“We’ve seen death for hundreds of years-we’re not scared of dying, Master!” shouted one king.
“Good!” said Oryx, with a suspicious sneer on his face that the kings failed to notice.
Oryx created a circular castle enclosement for each king.
“Now,” Oryx said with a cold laugh that echoed across the whole realm, “you come back to life.”
Opening the blue book again, he muttered the words. But the words were different…
The kings felt a peculiar sensation, as if they were bound to chains.
“What has happened?” one king yelled.
“We are still ghosts!”
Oryx laughed. “You will only come back unless you start fighting an enemy of us,” he said.
“You tricked us! You deceived us!” one king yelled.“Enough of this! I will go back and live my own ways!”
He tried marching out of the castle enclosement, but strangely, he stopped. He couldn’t move. The gods forbid him.
“Why!” he yelled at the sky. “That is the man that has deceived me! I have not pledged allegiance to him, I may leave him whenever I wish!”
“Oh, yes you have…”
“When?”
“You called me…‘master’, don’t you remember?”
The sudden realization of the unwise use of the word hit him. It showed on his face as horror; it was a strangled, hopeless sort of expression.
The kings gave up. They were now bound to Oryx forever, yet they still do not live, and they do not stand on their own feet again…
Unless they fight you.
That, to this day, is still why they become so joyfully happy when they fight you… the only time the kings are alive, on their feet.

Ent Ancients
One day when Oryx was checking over his minions, he stumbled upon some elderly ent gods. He was afraid they would die before getting a chance to destroy the warriors of the realm, so he placed them in the center of pink trees. Then he casted a spell that the elderly ents will sleep forever until they get awoken by getting hit by a weapon. Hence creating the popular name, Ent Ancient.

Pentaracts
During Oryx’s fight with the 13 warriors, the Assassin managed to poison his right eye. The eye started to fall out piece by piece. Oryx noticed this and started attempting to revive the eyes and re-attatch them. He failed, but had accidentaly made them into independent beings. Oryx then created Towers, that would home these evil eyes. He also commanded them to protect the land around them and ruthlessly follow any intruder until they were dead.

The Phoenix Lord
The phoenixes were the most legendary of all flying creatures. They once had unimaginable raw power - so strong that their flames turn the ground into ashes. When Oryx rose to power, he enslaved and controlled the phoenixes. Oryx tricked them into carrying their own doom by luring them with his shining wine cellar key. Phoenixes love shiny things and treasure. And so with Oryx’s dark magic, he absorbed most of the phoenixes’ powers. Oryx became much stronger and the flaming fury in his heart grew until the point that he became very mad.
Now, the Phoenix Lords are mere lowly creatures, but legend has it that one of them managed to snatch the key to Oryx’s wine cellar before they fell to Oryx’s control.
And this is how the Phoenix Lords came to existence.

The Rock Dragon
One day, Oryx was strolling along the realm. He found a odd-looking human shrine, and some orange rocks. A caterpillar was sitting atop a pink-eyed beholder. Oryx found this quite strange. Oryx remembered turning one of his strongest minions pink-eyed, and this beholder was it. Oryx combined all of these things to create the Rock Dragon that we see today.
“Ha ha! Magnificent!” Oryx exclaimed after he created the Rock Dragon. The Rock Dragon Bats are made from chunks of the Rock Dragon.

Doom Bow
It has been 7 years since the fall of Septavius’s kingdom. An archer named AuraSavior was looking through his old belongings. Suddenly, he spotted a pure black bow. He remembered the bow from his childhood, his old hunting bow. “Ah, how the people nowadays fire their bows, shooting their arrows all over the place. Why don’t they see the value of precision?” He muttered to himself, while looking out the window, watching n00bs with Bows of Fey Magic shooting all over the place.
Suddenly, Oryx appeared in AuraSavior’s room. “HELLO MORTAL, I HAVE HEARD YOUR CLAIM. I WILL MAKE YOUR BOW A WEAPON LIKE NON OTHER, BEING MUCH MORE PRECISE.” Oryx said, as he vanished into thin air.
AuraSavior, not knowing what happened, grabbed the bow with his right hand. Suddenly, a surge of weight pulled on his arm, shattering the bone and pulling the entire arm off. The bow’s weight instantly compressed the soil around it, and as the weight tore a hole in the earth, the bow and AuraSavior’s arm went down in it, falling all the way into the underworld, never to be seen again.
Now, Septavius uses the bow’s bowstring as dental floss, to keep his spectral teeth ghostly white.

Resurrected Warrior’s Armor
An armor, precisely known to be once an Acropolis Armor which is wore by the “warrior” who has been known to fought against the evil minions of Oryx. Rusty and rather a bit brittle from any armors, even a blacksmith would’ve gave up repairing this piece steel from its original form. The only eye catching in it is the mysterious gem which is perfectly intact and bonded along its chest part. Rather from the sorcerers’ further researches, the gem is saturated with mystical energy. Only quite a few Magi knew a bit of its origin but their theories is that the gem has a resemblance from the characteristics of an “Amulet”. The amulet was known to revive anyone who wear it and teleport them into a safe distance. The warrior who they assume to have use the armor was said to have a friend warlock to battle along with him when the times when Oryx’s great evil has terrorized the lands. As they fight, the warrior was killed by an arrow which was tainted with a highly toxic venom. Maybe he used an enchanting spell to the crystal to get his partner live somehow. Now that the mysterious warrior is safe somehow, and now woke up at an old cemetery which he removes his broken armor, leaving it lying on the ground still untouched by any mortals who dares to use its unknown powers. The warlock is still not yet to be found or even a theory where he have been at.

Leviathan
When Oryx was a small boy, he used to go out to the beach and play frolic in the sand. He loved all the animals back then, including the crabs, fish, and snails. But his favorite was the manatee. Years later, when Oryx was ruler of the world, he returned to the beach and used his powers to control all the manatee. But Oryx was afraid that manatee didn’t sound intimidating enough, so he called it a leviathan. Basically, a leviathan is just a Manatee that floats in the air and shoots bolts of water
