Vacuum

The Vaccum, the Great Void,or Villor Valea, is a cataclysmic event that wrecked havoc on Second Stair and brought forth the end times of humanity.

## About

The Great Void is an energy transport tunnel that connects Second Stair and Stair Obororoi created by Kant using the SinForce from Stair Obororoi. Kent intentionally created the Great Void in order to expose humanity to SinForce in order to see their potiential. Its creation displaced the citizens of both Second Stair and Stair Obororoi and wreaked havoc on both planets. It is the birthplace of SoulDregs, SoulForcers, SoulWorkers, and SinWorkers.

## Expansion of the Great Void

The Great Void itself, is completely made out of SinForce and continually grows as it consumes more SinForce. A positive feedback loop exists with the Great Void as humans and Bashai are able to naturally produce more SinForce once they are initially exposed to it. In order to obtain SinForce, an inhabitant must have the will to survive and a desire for power. Afterwards, they will slowly absorb more SinForce which will allow them to become SoulForcers, SoulWorkers or SinWorkers. However, the Great Void is able to use the SinForce from this growth to become larger and consequently swallow more victims creating a vicious growth cycle.

## Lifestyle

Life in the Great Void is harsh as survivors must deal with the constant threat of SoulDregs and must be careful of their belongings otherwise it would be used by the SoulDregs to grow stronger. Death is frequent in the Great Void as the members of the Grasscover Camp are able to overlook the SinWorkers' murders if they could become an asset. People within the Great Void do not seem to care about death provided that they able to obtain a food supply for the whole. Most of the survivors in the Great Void belong to survivor camp with the majority of the camps being nomadic in nature with Grasscover Camp as the exception. Unlike the situation on Second Stair, the Bashai are allies within the Void.

A Void is an inter-dimensional rift created by the shattering of the book. It is a clump of SinForce that seeks to absorb everything within its vicinity to grow even larger. The Great Void is the first known Void to appear and after its appearance multiple smaller Voids have appeared. It is unknown if the smaller Voids are connected to the Great Void or if they possess their own dimension. One particular trait of all Voids is that they cannot be freely traveled across. After one leaves a Void, they will lose their memories from the time that they were inside of it. Voids in general appear to have an effect on the human mind due to the influence of SinForce.

## Blazing Void

A different type of Void, known as a Blazing Void (Irregular Void), has the special trait of being able to freely travel across it. These Voids appear to imitate the SoulSanctum in the area and affect inhabitants nearby the Void. It appears that SoulWorkers have more of a natural resistance against the effects of a Blazing Void. Eventually, the energy from the Blazing Voids accumulate and create the Golden Omen.

According to Shiho, the Blazing Voids are a direct influence from Lakasha's intervention with the world and their reappearance occurs due to the world attempting to correct the fate broken by Lakasha.

A unique Blazing Void appears in Rucco Town that allows the freedom of travel into the Great void.

## Attribute Voids
