 This is the very place about which there are heated debates. Skeptics say that this is nothing more than a myth and a horror story told around the campfire and to naughty children. The superstitious and believers, especially in The One, call it Hell, where sinners go after death. But those who know say: this place is real, and in a way it really is hell.

+Even in the O.I. sources, this place is called the Realm of Madness (R.o.M.), and that says something. This world is located in Null-Space, it's the realm of islands floating in an endless and gloomy emptiness, although at the same time there is a certain gravity "down".
+It is also said that the Realm of Madness is a result of experiments with teleportation gone wrong, resulting in a shattered dimension. Blessed are the ignorant, because everything was planned. Well, almost.
+This whole place is populated by Experiments, former humans, now manic cyborgs. They became so because of the disgusting unethical experiments conducted by Dr. Crocopolous. The main rule of survivors and scavengers, learned in blood: don't look them in the eyes.
+But the main inhabitant and ruler of this realm is the Mad Dragon, called in fear and superstition by the pronoun "HE", former human scientist previously named Hypophysos H. Crocopolous. Is anyone ready to meet HIM face to face?
 ===== Null-Space =====
 Beyond our native and familiar universe with three spatial dimensions and one temporal, there is another place that some assume is the source of all existence that we see.
+Null-Space, also known as the Void Between the Worlds (V.B.T.W., the Void), the Abyss of Damnation (the Abyss) and etc., is the plane of existence that is not bound by any physical laws of space and, as some believe, even time. This "space" is pure void that is filled, if one can call it that, with energy which O.I. scientists call "Raw Chaos".

-These fields are capable of changing not only the primary universe, but also the Null-Space itself, in particular, creating full-fledged micro-continua and, in some cases, matter. Such a discipline is the most unexplored, incomprehensible and expensive, therefore it doesn't make O.I. scientists gods, and even the power that is available to them is very difficult.

 Spacetime continua as Null-Space formations are scientifically called 1-Spaces and also divided into three categories.

 Those who dig deeper ask other questions: is man really so cruel and vicious that in the name of power over existence he is ready to become a monster?
-At the same time, the Null-Space was perceived by people on a subconscious level as the Primordial Chaos, the chthonic realm of the unknown.
+At the same time, Null-Space was perceived by people on a subconscious level as the Primordial Chaos, the chthonic realm of the unknown. This fear is identical to that of ancient people regarding witches and sorcerers. It is no coincidence that the slang term "quagic" means Null-Engineering. People of the New World have different attitudes towards the so-called "quages", from love to hate. But the current reality is different from the Middle Ages, because "magic" is more than real. And it is frightening.
+Superstitions and fears have become the basis of many people’s lives, because it's not known who will jump out of the corner. The childhood fear of monsters under the bed has grown into something more frightening. The main fear concerns the so-called "Last Days" of humanity, as if people are punished by fate to live out their short lives until they die.
-**< Existential horror: We're all doomed! We need consolation! Superstitions and fear, believe in The One! >**
+People looked for consolation wherever they could. Both in ancient times, beginning with cavemen, and in the New World, the answer to their suffering was obvious: superstition, religion and faith. Some limited themselves to referring to the Mad Dragon with capitalized pronouns. Others tirelessly prayed to The One that He would somehow ease their suffering and forgive them for all their sins. Madness from radiation or truly sincere faith that saves from horrors? It doesn't matter, because anything is better than going through an existential crisis and thinking about HIM, the devil who brings destruction to everything.
