Shadow Realm

The Shadow Realm is a dimension that was originally founded by Augustine, during his research on excessive use of Dark Magic, after one of his Hexagons exploded into a portal that led into the dimension.

Down to it's core, the Shadow Realm is a dimension with the soul purpose of seperating murderous, near-invincible creatures from reality, to prevent the devastation of the world, however it is unknown how such a realm came to be, nor how it was made.

The Shadow Realm is a blackish void, with a completely black sky and an inconsistant black or gray ground, with grayish crystals uncommonly seen around. Within the shadow realm are large, crystaline, hexagonal structures known as Hexons, which on the exterior, contains dark matter, whilst internally within the walls, are large pipes filled with antimatter, which explode instantaniously when damaged. The structures are highly inconsistant, in size, functionality and usage.

## Fatal Fog

The Fatal Fog is the most notable part of the Shadow Realm and the most deadly, due to the presence of the most dangerous creatures of the realm within it.

The Fatal Fog is a completely black, heavy fog that moves throughout the Shadow Realm sporadically and isn't bound to the realm itself, during an incident, the fog had leaked out of the realm via a portal, though quickly vanished once the portal was severed. Within the fog, the most lethal of the Shadow Realm's creature's lie within it, the center of the fog containing August, the dominant leader of the Shadow Realm. August is believed to be the one that steers the Fatal Fog's direction.

### Illness

Unfortunately, the Fatal Fog is not safe for lifeforms alien to the Shadow Realm, as the fog has properties that cause unknown illness via overexposure without any kind of mask, the Illness is quick to act, the infected individual needing to go to hospital approximately five hours after infection, with no symptoms or signs of infection before then. Upon the virus's act, the infection will cause the infected individual to become extremely weak, with a burning pain throughout the body. After three more hours, the infection will go to it's second state, whereas it will hurt to breathe and the infected will barely have enough strength to keep awake.

After Three days of being infected, the virus goes into it's third state, which has similar effects to Chronic Wasting Disease, whereas the infected will begin to decompose, this is the time whereas most fatalities from the virus happens. Though if an infected individual is lucky enough to survive the infection for Five days, then the virus begins it's final state, whereas the user will slowly lose their humanity, firstly becoming more irritable, then becoming more perceptive to sound to a painful degree, thirdly gaining a deep hatred for anything that lives and finally, becoming ravenous. Soon after becoming ravenous, the infection will kill the infected or send the infected into a coma, which will wake up after becoming a creature of the shadow realm.

## Creatures

The Shadow Realm has quite a diverse cast of creatures, though most appear to be heavily disformed and look similar to wendigos or hellhounds, heavily rotted, with mostly in-tact organs, though oddly held together by strings of moss. Despite the creatures having heavily disformed, rotted apperances, they are extremely durable, being observed to withstand and recover from taking a deep slash from a chainsaw into the head. Creatures from the Shadow Realm are extremely strong, too; being able to slash through some of the strongest materials on earth without much issue. These creatures do not exhibit any need to sleep, eat, drink or even need a functioning heart.

### Adaptability

The creatures of the shadow realm have high regenerative properties and have a tendency to adapt depending on the damage they take. Notably, August's adaptation to being struck by a chainsaw to the head, he had his head torn in half yet his regenerative abilities adapted to grow spiked bones inside of the head, acting as if the open head was another form of a jaw. The adaptational regenerative abilties of the creatures allow them to become more stronger during a fight if they get the chance to regenerate.
