🔥 THE OPENING — "A Vein in the Dark"
🌍 The Location: "Obsidian Vault Zero"
Originally unearthed as a massive, vein-lit obsidian monolith with redstone glowstone tracery running through it like arteries.
Believed to be millions of years old, it was removed and sealed in a high-security museum bunker, then stolen during the Fall of Civilization.
Nobody knows where it went. Most believe it was destroyed.
But deep in a now-ruined city, under piles of collapsed steel and concrete, the Vault sleeps — still sealed, still humming with arcane runes, and containing the Orb of Dominance.
The orb sits suspended in a stasis lock chamber of runic magic, glowing endlessly, whispering in languages no human has ever spoken.But it cannot act.It cannot breach.It can only wait for the one whose hand can become the fuse.
👥 THE SURVIVORS (HUMAN, NORMAL, DOOMED)
They're nobodies. Just faces in a broken world. Survivors of a war they never understood.
1. Tomás (32, mechanic)
Greasy hands, gas mask hanging from his neck. Ex-junkyard techie.
Found the Vault's entrance by accident chasing shelter.
Stares too long at the orb. Doesn't understand it. Thinks it's "military tech."
"If this thing's worth a damn, it better get us outta here."
2. Lena (26, nurse)
Bandaged arm, stitched more wounds than she's caused. Protective, sharp, fast thinker.
Finds Mira's half-burnt records on Redstone-Tech cults and tries to decode the orb's glyphs.
Tries to stop UltSans from going near it.
"This isn't hope. It's history that wants to happen again."
3. Jakob (19, orphan)
Carries a cracked smartpad and a dead radio. Believes the Vault is the answer.
Takes selfies with the orb before getting vaporized in a reality backlash.
Dies smiling, thinking he helped start something.
"You guys are all just scared. But I think it wants us to win."
4. Alison (40, quiet)
No backstory. No expression. Possibly military.
Walks into the orb room, says nothing, then vanishes after UltSans arrives.
Leaves her knife behind, still clean.
"…"
💀 ENTER: ULTSANS
He wasn't with them.
He never needed to run, to hide, to fear.
He's just here.
Walking into the Vault like he's seen it a thousand times before in a different multiverse.No heartbeat. No blinking. No fear.
The orb pulses.
The others feel overwhelmed — their minds screaming, lungs closing, reality distorting.
UltSans feels nothing.
Just… bored curiosity.
He steps into the glow.
⚡ WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE TOUCHES THE ORB?
Nothing.
The orb doesn't lash out, explode, or possess him. It recognizes him.
But he? He doesn't recognize it — because it's beneath him.
The orb's runes flicker.
Then dim.
Then shift… to a blank state.
The first time in all recorded Vault glyph history the Orb has gone silent — because it realizes:
This soul cannot be controlled.This being is beyond obedience, beyond ambition.The Orb of Dominance is powerful — but UltSans is power.
🌌 But quietly... beneath it all...
The orb begins to shift its frequency.Not to dominate.
But to follow.
And somewhere far, far away —The Wither Storm's heart twitches.The Echo Illagers wake from silence.The Pillager Warlords change targets.
They don't want the orb.They want the thing that held it and didn't flinch.
