==Biography==
Malculus is a retired lumberjack, he has worked in the woods his entire life but retired after a fire took place at the Darkoak mansion which is the home of Malculus and his beloved wife MeIisenda. It was revealed in a newspaper that can be found on the attic of the Darkoak mansion that Malculus and Melisenda lost their lives to the fire. However, they both got resurrected by entities with godly power. Malculus and MeIisenda then began worshipping the entities that go by the name "the children". Shortly after the incident, Malculus found a secret library (library of light) on which their house was built on. It stores a lot of information about the children and Malculus's other places.
Malculus is not the first person to worship the children, before him, there was a secret order which Malculus simply calls "the ancients". Malculus decided to follow in their footsteps and finish what they couldn't: to free the children from the mystical place called Agartha, which is a hidden kingdom in the earth's core. Agartha is Malculus's third place. The children promised that whoever would free them from Agartha would be rewarded with riches and power beyond imagination.
A good part of Malculus's lore took place before he was born. The ancients were the first worshipers and left clues to whoever would come after them in the future to fulfill their mission. A war took place somewhere in southern France in which the ancients were attacked by the knights' templar after they were accused of worshiping the children which the catholic church didn't like as they believed that the children had evil intentions. Many important artifacts that belonged to the ancients were eighter hidden or lost to the war. After the war took place, the last remaining ancients decided to hide their temple (Temple of origins), which can be found buried underneath Malculus's second-place "Ruins of the past". There are four riddles scattered across the map of ruins of the past. A door to the temple of origins will open once all four riddles are solved.
At last, Malculus did manage to free the children from Agartha with the help of myth hunters. It took approximately 4 months. But in the end, they managed to finish the last ritual that was performed at Agartha to free the children. However, once the children were freed they did not keep their promise of power and wealth and a cutscene was played in which everyone present at Agartha could see two children playing with toys, the toys were Malculus and Melisenda but doll-sized. To this day, no one knows precisely what the cutscene was, but it is theorized that it was foreshadowing of whats to come.
From that day forward, Malculus has decided to stop the children, who are now free and still grow in power. It is said that once the children reach their full potential, the universe will not handle such power and will be shattered. This is how far the story of Malculus has come as of now.
After a long time and many hurdles on the journey, on January 30th 2022 at 6AM EST he collected everyone at the center of the universe and sacrificed himself to seal The Children away forever.

Many secrets can be found around in the mansion, the most known ones being red text on the wall "Redemption for your past sins cannot be granted" and "so dark so deep the secrets that you keep". Further investigation revealed that you can get to the basement by finding a key on a shelf in the kitchen and then opening the door by pressing a button on the powerbox which can be accessed by using the previously found key. A door that leads to an external place, the (library of light) can be opened by saying the phrase "Eihwaz".

It is located somewhere in southern France according to a map that can be found there. It is filled with lakes and big trees and skeletons pierced on wooden spears. Ruins of the past are the aftermath after a war between the ancients and knights templar took place many years ago. Four riddles can be found scattered around the map, finishing them all will result in opening a door that leads to a different place "Temple of origins". This place is yet to be investigated as not much is known about it.
===Agartha===
Agartha is a kingdom in the earth's core. This is the third game in Malculus' story order. It is the place where the children were freed and previously trapped. It is a small area filled with many riddles and symbols. Certain events can be triggered by finding a gramophone and playing different vinyl plates, there are currently three plates scattered and hidden across Agartha. You can enter the "Aether" which is the dimension the children came from by playing the red vinyl plate. Agartha requires some phrases and artifacts that can be found in Malculus's other places.
===D'argent===
D'argent translates to "of silver" in french. It doesn't come in any order like the other games. It takes place in the city of Paris in France. It is a map that consists of a city area, a bakery, hotel reception, and MeIisenda's apartment which supposedly is called "Dame en noir" - lady in black. MeIisenda can often be spotted here as this is her second home, the first being the Darkoak mansion. Apart from MeIisenda, Melvanea can also be spotted here occasionally. Melvanea is MeIisenda's aunt who sometimes makes an appearance, however very little is known about her. D'argent further explains the lore of MeIisenda.
===Serdtse kholoda===
Serdtse kholoda translates to "Heart of the cold" in Russian. There is no known teleport to this game. Serdtse kholoda takes place somewhere in an abandoned city of Russia. In the map is alot of power boxes and torn up mannequins, on the walls of the city are alot of blood splatters. There is a dark alleyway which contains a crowbar in the darkness; using the crowbar you can unlock 2 areas, an area blocked off by some sort of metal grate. On the wall is the roman numeral II which is 2 in modern numerical value. to the right of the roman numerals is a message in Russian "NAYTI FONAR.'" This message translates to "find a lantern." Also found in the room is a table with a pentagram drawn onto it, above the pentagram is a red floating sphere. There is no confirmed identity of the sphere but from the words of "ToxicTerren" it is "Some sort of highly concentrated 'children' energy" there is no confrimation for this to be true. 
Above the red sphere is a lantern, possibly the lantern that the message on the wall refers to. Another area accesible by the crowbar is a small 2 story room. In it is a ladder that leads to a small walkway with nothing but some boxes at the end. On the first floor of the room is another table with a pentagram drawn onto. Like the last table it also has a red sphere floating above it, instead of a lantern floating above the orb there is a dagger off to the side.
