Universes

Throughout the entirety of the ManicVerse's existence, many Universes have begun to arise, some of the most significant ones will be listed below. Most of the Universes here will be within the Far Lands, as this will be where a majority of the story takes place.

## Undertale

From the remnants and remains of StaticTale, Undertale had arisen. The Universe had taken essentially the key components of what made StaticTale what it was and with some slight modifications by the Database, StaticTale was replaced. Undertale would eventually be the key source for all future Universes to arise within the ever-expanding Multiverse. The story of Undertale follows a race of monsters, these monsters having been sealed Underground after the Great War which was waged against them by the Humans. The two races formerly lived in peace and harmony, though war had inevitably ripped the former peace to bits. Something to note however is that the characters within Undertale who had made an appearance within StaticTale act similarly, however, characters such as Ajax, Emily, and their children don’t exist within Undertale.

In most cases, Undertale never ends up getting involved in any sort of conflicts which occur outside of the Universe, in a sense, Undertale is essentially excluded from everything else, due to the importance it holds, as the Universe is the equivalent of a blueprint for all future Universes. Overall, Undertale itself isn’t out of the ordinary, however, that doesn’t take away from the significance of Undertale itself. The amount of radiation and dark matter present within the Far Lands certainly influences Undertale as well, just as it does every other Universe. These factors were actually what modified the original version of StaticTale, inevitably resulting in it becoming StaticTale, though from the fact that StaticTale collapsed on itself via the singularity created by the Vicissitude, the remnants of the fallen Universe contributing toward what Undertale would become.

### Undertale: Anomaly #57

Timeline 57, also known as Anomaly #57 was a Classic Undertale Timeline, nothing too special about it. However, after the countless genocides that had been committed, along with the many RESETS (All of which were the leading cause of this anomaly), the timeline itself had many noticeable differences from most Undertale Timelines. Some examples being that monsters were either more aggressive, while others were far more on the timid side. During one of the many genocide routes, the protagonist, this being Frisk, who had given their soul to Chara was once more confronting Sans in the Final Corridor, however, Chara had proposed Sans a deal. Sans was given the option to join Chara in their Genocide, and having been blinded by his own grief and misery, he accepted. Pain had then shot through Sans’ vessel, pure hate (mixed with a red hue) had begun rushing down his skull, tendril-like objects having now wrapped around his soul, and just as quickly as the pain arrived, it left. Sans, who was now referred to as Killer, finished the Genocide that Chara had started, and having Chara’s Determination surging within his Vessel, he erased the entirety of the timeline, fleeing as he did so.

## RuinedTale

RuinedTale, one of the few Universes which had been present during the time of StaticTale’s destruction. RuinedTale follows several similar principles that StaticTale’s successor, Undertale, follows. There were two races who once lived on the surface, humans and monsters. War broke out, and inevitably, the monsters lost the war. Once sealed Underground, monsterkind slowly fell into a state of despair and sorrow, though this era of time didn’t last long before the inhabitants of the Underground began to turn more aggressive toward one another. Overtime, conflicts and fights grew more and more common, some even going to the extent of killing one another over the smallest of issues.

Asgore, the ruler of the Underground, had ordered that no humans should be left alive if they happened to enter the Underground, and of course, without any hesitations, each and every human that fell into the Underground was quickly disposed of, their bodies and souls being brought to the King, who had long since instilled a sense of fear into the monsters. It was part of the reason why all the inhabitants attempted to act so fierce, to prove themselves to the King. One day however, the inhabitants of the Underground were greeted by what was described as several portals appearing within Snowdin, on the other side were monsters in a state of panic. These portals led straight to StaticTale as the Universe was going through its final moments, and before long, the Snowdin of RuinedTale was filled with several new monsters. The fabric of spacetime had been altered to such a degree by StaticTale’s downfall that it temporarily merged the two Universes, allowing for the linkage to occur.

After discussing, the King had decided to let the surviving monsters stay, secluding them from the harsh realities of the Underground they would now be living in. Ever since the new arrivals however, things have begun to change. While most monsters retained their usual aggression, the urge for violence and bloodshed diminished, creating a slightly more habitable environment, and overtime, life within the Underground began to improve to some extent.

## CosmicTale

CosmicTale is one of the most commonly known Universes within the Manicverse. It’s not only known for its gorgeous sights and scenery, yet also for the kind, welcoming inhabitants of the Universe. CosmicTale, unlike most traditional Universes, doesn’t occur within the Underground. Instead, the monsters have founded their kingdom atop a quickly moving asteroid which is revolving around a supergiant star that had been stabilized and prevented from releasing an explosion equivalent to a supernova. This supergiant star, due to the amount of energy it radiates, is the primary source of power for the monsters. The way the monsters are able to harness this energy is from a half completed dyson sphere, which appears to be a megastructure which covers half the star. It’s theorized that the ancestors of the current living monsters are the ones who were constructing the megastructure due to the oddly familiar designs the dyson sphere has. The drawback to such a large star is that it also emits large quantities of radiation due to its instability. To combat this radiation, the monsters were able to create an artificial barrier, this barrier only being possible because of the amount of energy which the star was emitting and from the research and creation of cosmic souls, which essentially took microscopic amounts of cosmic essence and were stored into usable souls. It's said that the reason why the monsters are on the asteroid is because said asteroid was actually the only remaining piece of the planet they once resided on. It’s assumed that the core of the planet probably collapsed on itself, causing an explosion that sent several chunks of the crust and mantle across the cosmos. Living with the monsters, there is a small, human-like entity who resides with them, they wear a striped shirt and appear quite similarly to a human child, however, they have two antennas and their skin is a green color. This entity, who goes by the name Frisk, was observing the half completed megastructure when their rocket was struck by the asteroid, it being a miracle that the extraterrestrial life form even survived, or was it something more?

## Alphatale Neo

Alphatale Neo is the Manicverse’s own adaptation of Alphatale, with some general changes of course. Similar to Alphatale itself, the war between humans and monsters did occur, though the monsters did end up winning, however, instead of going underground, the monsters took to the skies. Underneath where a majority of the war had taken place, there was an abnormally large cavern, this cavern having multiple unique regions and areas, so using the technology that the humans had developed, the entire chunk of Earth that made up the cavern was ripped from the ground, large, bubble-like shapes encasing each zone. Each of these domes were meant to sustain the environments that each zone had, given one of them had snow, and one of the others had lava. The monsters had gotten situated in their new home while also enslaving the entirety of humankind, the monsters only leaving their home to demand tasks or tangible items from the humans, who were forced to comply. Taking the technology that the humans already had, the monsters had modified it, a certain scientist who went by the name of Wendy Ambrose Gaster had then created something that would change the very existence of their world forever. Wendy had seemingly created a contraption that allowed her to traverse the many timelines that the Universe consisted of, so of course she took advantage of this power, sometimes using it for good, though most of the time using it for her own selfish desires. An example of this being when Wendy seemingly stole two children, these children going by the names of Ares and Jacob, they were supposedly alternate versions of her own children, William and Adam. Now having four children, she grew curious as to what their limitations were, so that’s when the experiments began. Jacob received the worst of it as the experiments continued for years upon years, though one day, Jacob finally snapped. Overcome by hatred and revenge, Jacob began to massacre anything and everyone, all to “get stronger”. William and Adam attempted to stop Jacob’s rampage, though in the process, Adam had been slain just outside of a snowy town known as Frosty Ridges, also known as Snowdin. Jacob had then fled past William and toward Hotland, William now trailing him until eventually the two had made their way into their mother’s lab. Here, Jacob had nowhere else to run, and during the final moments of their conflict, Jacob had landed the killing blow on William, yet in the process, he struck one of Wendy’s many contraptions. In short, the very lab had detonated, not only destroying the entirety of Hotland, but due to the fact that the device that Wendy used to traverse through timelines was in the room, the machine had malfunctioned, only amplifying the explosion as the entirety of the Universe was destroyed in a fiery blaze and ended with a blinding explosion.

## VoltaicTale

The Human and Monster war, a conflict that never happened within the world of VoltaicTale. Monsters were a race that existed at one point, though were wiped out during a rain of solar flares which scorched the planet. The humans that survived the solar flares were able to reconstruct civilization from the ground up, though due to their lack of allies, the humans turned toward the next best thing: technology. Overtime, the humans constructed machines of all sorts which resembled the ancient race of monsters, though there were some which didn’t show any form of correlation to the monsters and instead served as machines used to aid the humans in their everyday lives. Cities flourished and technology continued to develop as more and more machines were constructed. However, the humans were messing with powers far beyond their comprehension, altering artificial intelligence to such a degree that each creation was equal to creating new life. These AIs had developed and were sophisticated to the extent of retaining their own form of sentience, however, this is when complications began to arise due to the harsh conditions and mistreatment the machines were put through. Simple protests had started to emerge from countless human civilizations, though they were all shutdown with violence from the humans, often resulting in the destruction of countless machines. These ruthless actions against them, the machines took matters into their own hands, eventually breaking away from the humans, uniting under one rule, a larger machine which resembled the former king of monsters: Asgore.

Before long, War was upon both humans and machines, the scale of the war escalating quickly, even to the point of both sides using nuclear weapons, leaving nothing but ruin and destruction in their wake. Most of the machines were immune to the radiation, so the tides were beginning to turn in favor of the machines, especially with their new technology which allows them to harness the essence of human souls, draining it and converting it into Physical Magic, something that the machines can use to power themselves. The machines had even taken matters into their own hands to ensure they would have the proper numbers to combat the humans, the leading machine had ordered the construction of what would be defined as a Super Weapon, this machine being based on the former leader of the Royal Guard: Undyne. This Undyne machine would be powered off of Determination, though due to the scarcity of Determination Soul essence, the machines ensured to put such power into Undyne, due to the amount of equipment, weapons, and advanced AI she had. However, even with all these advancements, the machines were simply overwhelmed, the humans having destroyed all of the former factories used to create these machines, meaning their numbers were limited, unlike the humans.

Eventually, the machines were outmatched, resulting in the humans sealing them within a large bunker. This bunker had been around since before the war, it was constructed by the monsters to serve as a place of shelter during any type of DoomsDay scenario, though due to human magic being far superior to the magic essence the machines were using, the machines were trapped not only by numerous locks and mechanisms which were used to short circuit and nullify machinery, but also a form of barrier, one that was created using the magic from several humans. With their fates sealed, the machines were able to expand upon the ancient bunker, revamping and molding it into what would be their home for the countless years to come.
