Observer From Beyond Lore

Wonderland

Wonderland is a simulation world where all the Chosen that Shadow has gathered live. There is a belief that 4471 is the ""Spirit of Wonderland"" and has control over this dimension, on par with Shadow. Wonderland has two versions - one where 4471 originally settled and is a simulation of Ikwithas, and a second, more advanced version that exists in the same dimension as the first, a simulation of the human world where the Chosen live. Due to Odette's time hopping, the second Wonderland has undergone time loop changes, and the time counter resets to zero every four years, starting the cycle over and erasing the memories of everyone in Wonderland. The first Wonderland has not undergone such changes, but since it was the prototype - time there is always standing still, always a warm and sunny May day. Everything in both Wonderlands except for the Chosen and 4471 is a simulation.

The Chosen

According to an ancient prophecy, these people are demi-gods with various superpowers who will one day be able to save the omniverse from a terrible threat. Before Chloe died, she told Shadow to find a way to gather all the remaining Chosen to save the universe. Shadow had spent too long looking for a way to project himself into the real world, so there were only 17 Chosen left, and in order to guide them through Tartarus, Shedou had to first kill the Chosen, then purify their souls and place them in Wonderland, where they could live a quiet life, without danger, without aging or losing their powers, waiting for their time to come. Shadow also decided to take away most of their memories of their past lives and leave only good memories. In the time of Ikwithas, the angels had a very good relationship with the Chosen, but forbade the Nephilim from associating with them. Over time, the blood of ordinary humans left the Chosen's powers with each new generation.

Ikwithas

Ikwithas is the land of the Nephilim, created by the angels for the Nephilim whom they did not accept to live in Heaven. The Nephilim were the children of angelic beings and human women. By the second week of life, the Nephilim already looked like seven-year-old children, and further their maturation slowed down, and only after a year of life they were like fifteen-year-old teenagers. After two and a half years of life they looked twenty. The maturation of the Nephilim stopped at sixty human years. The Nephilim did not die of old age, and could have lived forever like other angelic beings, if the Angelic Council had not given an order to destroy the Nephilim as desecrating the divine and angelic with their human parts. The Nephilim also often came down to humans on Earth, helping them. Also, unlike angels, the Nephilim are childless.

Homer's Illiad. Song eight. The gathering of the gods. Battle interrupted:

"Whosoever of the immortals rebelliously will, and I will know it,

"to descend from heaven, to aid either the Jonians or the Danaians,

"He shall return to Olympus to suffer shamefully!

Or I will rapture him and cast him down into the gloomy Tartarus, where beneath the earth is the deepest abyss:

Where there's a platform of brass and a gate of iron. Tartarus,

As far from hell as the bright sky is from the valley!

There he shall feel how much mightier than all I immortals!"
