How big is this Omniverse Nexus, AND what is the lore ?
This is a lore I try to create, inspiring through my culture and myth.
The Omniverse Nexus is a boundless, primordial construct that exists beyond the concepts of time, space, and reality as we understand them. It is the ultimate tapestry of existence, woven from the interplay of three enigmatic black boxes that appeared in a formless void—an empty expanse known as the Eternal Blank. No one knows the origin of these boxes, not even the cosmic entities they birthed. Each box embodies a fundamental force of reality: Creation, Preservation, and Destruction. Together, they form the triadic foundation of the Omniverse Nexus, a meta-omniverse that encompasses infinite realms, timelines, and dimensions.
The Three Boxes and the Birth of Box 1
The three boxes existed in the Eternal Blank since before the concept of "before" had meaning. They are not objects in the conventional sense but metaphysical constructs, each pulsating with an incomprehensible energy that radiates their respective essence. The boxes are identical in appearance—obsidian-black, smooth as glass, and etched with faintly glowing runes that predate language itself. Yet, their purposes are distinct, and their interactions gave rise to the Omniverse Nexus.
The first box to awaken its potential was Preservation (Box 1). Within its infinite depths, Preservation birthed the Main Universe—a singular, cyclical cosmos that serves as the heart of Box 1. The Main Universe is not a static realm but a dynamic, ever-revolving cycle of creation and destruction, governed by the principle of balance. Preservation, a sentient force with a deep fascination for order and continuity, designed the Main Universe to operate in Eras, each marked by the rise and fall of a divine pantheon.
The Eras of the Main Universe
Each Era of the Main Universe spans eons—timelines stretching across billions of years. At the dawn of an Era, a new pantheon emerges, born from the collective essence of the Main Universe's energy. These pantheons are not mere gods but cosmic archetypes, their power woven into the fabric of reality itself. The first Era saw the rise of the Devas Pantheon, inspired by the ancient myths of the Indian subcontinent. Devas like Indra, Agni, and Varuna ruled over a universe of celestial cities floating in the cosmic ether, their divine wars shaking the stars. The second Era birthed the Greek Pantheon, with Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon shaping a realm of marble temples and stormy skies. The third Era introduced the Norse Pantheon, where Odin, Thor, and Loki presided over a frigid cosmos of icy mountains and fiery underworlds.
Each Era ends in a cataclysmic event known as the Great Dissolution, where the Main Universe collapses into a primordial void, only to be reborn in the next Era through the Great Emergence. This cycle is not random but a deliberate mechanism of Preservation, ensuring that no single pantheon dominates forever. Over countless Eras, dozens of pantheons have risen and fallen—some inspired by human mythologies like the Egyptian, Shinto, and Aztec.
To manage this cyclical process, Preservation created a legion of subordinates known as the Eidolon Watchers(laws). These ethereal beings, born from fragments of Preservation's essence, exist outside the Main Universe's timelines. They monitor the pantheons, record the events of each Era, and ensure the cycle of Dissolution and Emergence proceeds without interference. The Eidolon Watchers are not gods, but each being powerful than the very gods. As impartial observers, their forms shimmering with a ghostly light that reflects the infinite timelines they oversee.
The Stagnation of Progress and the Godless Era
For eons, the Main Universe flourished under the rule of pantheons, but this divine dominance came at a cost. The gods provided for humanity—bestowing magic, resources, and protection—stifling the need for scientific progress. Mortals revered their deities, building temples and offering sacrifices, but they never sought to innovate or explore beyond the divine gifts bestowed upon them. Over time, Preservation grew weary of this stagnation. The endless repetition of divine rule, while orderly, lacked the spark of evolution that Preservation craved.
Intrigued by the potential of a world unshackled from divine influence, Preservation initiated a bold experiment: the Godless Era. In this new cycle, the Main Universe emerged without a ruling pantheon. Instead, faint echoes of past pantheons lingered as Memories of Divinity—spectral imprints of the Devas, Greeks, Norse, and others that manifested as myths and legends in the minds of mortals. Humans, now free from direct divine intervention, began to revere these memories, giving rise to religions that honored the gods of old.
Without gods to provide for them, humans turned to their own ingenuity. They developed science, technology, and eventually modernity, creating a world where skyscrapers pierced the heavens and starships ventured into the cosmos. But the most remarkable creation of this era was fiction. Humans, inspired by the Memories of Divinity and their own boundless imagination, wove stories of fantastical worlds—universes like Marvel, DC, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, and countless others. These fictional realms, born from human creativity, captivated Preservation, who became an ardent admirer of mortal imagination.
The Fictional Multiverse of Box 1
Enamored by humanity's fictional creations, Preservation took an unprecedented step: it brought these stories to life. Using its cosmic power, Preservation carved out new realms within Box 1—parallel universes and dimensions where these fictional worlds became reality. The Marvel Universe bloomed with its sprawling galaxies and cosmic entities like Galactus and the Celestials. The DC Multiverse emerged with its 52 distinct universes, each guarded by the Justice League and threatened by villains like Darkseid. The world of One Piece unfolded across a vast ocean planet, its islands teeming with pirates and mythical creatures. Naruto's ninja villages thrived in a realm of chakra and hidden jutsu.
These fictional universes were not mere simulations but fully realized realities, each with its own timelines, dimensions, and laws of physics. Preservation placed them in a separate Fictional Multiverse, a vast network of realms that exists alongside the Main Universe. For eons, these universes evolved independently, their heroes and villains shaping their own destinies, while Preservation watched with the glee of a fanboy, marveling at the chaos and beauty of mortal imagination brought to life.
The Scale of Box 1 and the Omniverse Nexus
Box 1 alone is a staggering construct. The Main Universe, with its cyclical Eras, spans trillions of years across countless timelines, each Era birthing a new pantheon and a new version of reality. The Fictional Multiverse adds another layer of complexity, housing thousands of universes inspired by human fiction. If we consider the spatial scale:
The Main Universe likely encompasses billions of galaxies, each with its own divine domains and mortal civilizations.
The Fictional Multiverse includes universes like Marvel and DC, which span multiple galaxies, dimensions, and multiverses. For example, the Marvel Universe includes the Milky Way, Andromeda, and extradimensional realms like the Negative Zone, potentially covering quadrillions of light-years.
If Preservation created thousands of such fictional universes, the Fictional Multiverse could span an infinite expanse, its boundaries defined not by space but by the limits of imagination itself.
The Omniverse Nexus, however, is far greater.
Boxes 2 (Creation) and 3 (Destruction) likely mirror Box 1's scale, each governing its own omniversal domain with unique rules and realities. The Nexus as a whole is a meta-omniverse, an infinite collection of omniverses, each box a self-contained infinity of universes, dimensions, and timelines. Its scale is beyond comprehension, existing outside conventional space-time in the Eternal Blank, where the three boxes eternally resonate with their cosmic energies.
Mayukh/Alex and the Other MCs
THIS story focuses on Mayukh/Alex, a character within Box 1, likely navigating the Godless Era or the Fictional Multiverse. The other two MCs, each tied to Boxes 2 and 3, exist in entirely separate omniverses, their stories unfolding in parallel but never intersecting with Alex's in a conventional way. This separation reinforces the vastness of the Omniverse Nexus—its realms are so distant that even its protagonists cannot cross paths without extraordinary means, if at all.
NOW UPDATE
I was initially hesitant to write this fanfic, but after diving into countless novels and fanfics—some captivating, others underwhelming—my imagination sparked this expansive idea. I don't claim my work will be a masterpiece, but I'm committed to giving it my all.
This novel is a colossal project featuring three distinct main characters (MCs), each with their own standalone story across the Omniverse Nexus's three boxes. I'm starting with Mayukh/Alex in Box 1 (Preservation), while the other two MCs, tied to Boxes 2 (Creation) and 3 (Destruction), won't appear or cross paths with him in any conventional way. Their tales are entirely separate, unfolding in parallel omniverses, and I'm unsure if I'll even write their arcs yet. I estimate this trilogy of stories will take two years to complete, given its scope.
I plan to release 3 chapters every Wednesday(NOT TODAY), starting from , May 14, 2025. Each chapter will range between 3,500 and 4,500 words, providing a substantial amount of content for readers each week. Weekly word count: 3 chapters × (3,500–4,500 words) = 10,500–13,500 words per week.
Q: Will the other MCs ever be mentioned in Alex's story?
A: No, the other MCs exist in Boxes 2 and 3, which are entirely separate omniverses within the Nexus. Alex's story is self-contained, but the broader lore of the Omniverse Nexus connects all three MCs on a cosmic level.
