Post-Apocalyptic Future Universe

City of the Dark Future Timeline

ruins waste

The **Post-Apocalyptic** (**れた終末世界の**) dark future world. It is a parallel universe or alternative future timeline, introduced in Taimanin RPGX.

It is 10 years ahead in time of the normal RPG Universe but no longer its future. A post apocalyptic world ruled by the Brain Flayer, the interdimensional invaders, which have turned the human world into a wasteland.

## History

Following the RPGX Timeline for most of its history, until one or two years at the beginning of Taimanin RPGX.

Around the time of RPGX itself, Brain Flayers from outside the normal spacetime, invaded this universe. Using the power of the Tesserac, to weaken the power of Taima Particles and in turn Ninja Arts. Weaker Taimanin, being fully suppressed, by their technology.

As Fuuma Kotaro and Uehara Shikanosuke were killed by Arsal, the invasion grew more intense. Taimanin bases in various locations were crushed one by one. The UFS, Chinese Union and the demon tribes joint operations were unsuccessful. In the end, humanity was fully defeated.

At some point even Gosha Village was under attack, weaker Taimanin unable to use even any Ninja Arts and even people like Yukikaze almost unable to defeat single enemies with her lighting. Yukikaze was saved by Clear Lobel, that sacrificed herself in a battle with Demogorgon but almost all Taimanin were either killed, captured or scattered. Sanada Homura sacrifices herself in a suicide attack as well, allowing Nanase Mai (Future) to escape with Aishu Hebiko (Future) and Shinohara Mari (Future).

The Human World was taken over by the Brain Flayers, Taimanin and governments now destroyed, and most cities turned into ruins and ashes. Raiders and bandits, with small settlements, is the only thing remaining. The Dark World also suffered from the attack, but not much is known. However, all known Demon Gates are now inactive and no demon currently in the human world is able to return, this seems to be the result of Wise Lord, Marjaana, protecting their realm by cutting it off. Even the dark cities like Yomihara have become fully abandoned. Brain Flayers also seem to have issues entering the Dark World and observe any new information about it.

The rest of the planet is dangerous, with bioweapons roaming the land, as most humans have been turned into Infected by a virus weapon. The Brain Flayers use constantly new Machindroids to suppress or get rid of the last people resisting. The biggest megacity of this world is Brain City, a cyberpunk nightmare in which humans live in the "Underdark" slums, while the Brain Flayers live as noble elites.

After the death of most Taimanin, among them Fuuma Kotaro, Igawa Asagi and Koukawa Oboro, only a handful remained. Koukawa Asuka (Future) and Mizuki Yukikaze (Future) acting as the last defense and rebels, against the Brain Flayers and try to free their world from them, looking at other dimensions to get help. As they formed a Resistance they also at times work together with greedy Gigath, a demon queen, that has her own do mane in that ruin world but remains mostly neutral.

As Brain Flayers came from outside of time and space, such an invasion, does not occur in every universe as long as no Tesserac exists in that world.

A dozen years into this occupation, Asuka (Future) uses her DSO left over technology to create a "Time Machine/dimensional travel" device, though in her first test it backfired on her, turning Asuka into a younger version of herself. Yukikaze attempt is a success, and she travels to the normal RPGX Timeline, she makes contact with Kotaro and that world's Asuka. The group, destroys the Tesserac in that world and kills one of the higher up Brain Flayers. Arsal. Yukikaze hoping this will at least prevent the dark future of this world but the destruction of the Tesseract a powerful artifact, results also in an unknown consequence for her own universe, with Taimanin Arts now restored. Yukikaze returns but leaves Kotaro with a communication device later on.

At multiple times, Fuuma Kotaro is asked to assist with some issues but Resistance grows stronger and is able to recruit Onisaki Kirara (Future), which had been encased in ice or Kamimura Maika (Future) that almost had given up on the fight.

The power of the Brain Flayers start to weaken, but their main fortress, Brain City, remains unmoving. With their strongest forced Dagon, Nergal, Baal, Mot all serving the current Brain Flayer Queen Mauzer.
