Three worlds, all the same fate.
The Dead Ends - Dungeon
Beautifully done with a few little stories to tell.

Notes:"
Long-forgotten Seashell: Why do you ask such a question?
Do you not see the plague and pestilence that consumes us?
Ours is a world of rancid blood and rotting flesh, where death is the only remedy to suffering.
There is no meaning to be found in such misery.

But it was not always thus...
Beneath the waves we knew only peace and plenty.
We wanted for not, and yet craved more, that our progeny might someday flourish as we never could.
Eventually we ventured to the lands above bearing flame and iron, toppling any who dared oppose our might.
The world was ours for the taking.


Long-forgotten Seashell: This world is not the boundless paradise we were promised.
Our population quickly outstripped the habitable land, while seas we thought would shine forever blue ran dry, spoiled in forging the tools of conquest.
Cramped homes turned to squalor, and then came the sickness.

Our undoing─and the final blessing this star has to offer.

We are no longer the fools we once were.
Wheresoever life goes, death will follow.
Indeed, existence is but the most painful path unto nothingness─and the wise embrace their obliteration wholeheartedly.


Long-forgotten Correspondence: That otherworldly beings should first grace us with their presence is a sign.
Indeed, they understand that we─the Global Community─are possessed of the wisdom and compassion needed to guide this star back to the path of righteousness!

Yet the Freedom Fighters dare to undermine us, inviting chaos to disrupt the order we labored so hard to build.
They have forgotten the history of this star and its once myriad nations.
The wars waged, the countless lives lost...

They must to be brought to heel, the world united under a single standard, no matter the cost.


Long-forgotten Correspondence: We constructed the Peacekeeper, the pinnacle of engineering and technology.
This mighty war machine was designed to rid us of the Freedom Fighters, as well as any other potential threats to the peace we have so long pined for.

Its artificial intelligence ensures that this singular function is carried out with cold and calculating precision.
Indeed, the 10,000 Peacekeeper units we created have now routed every threat to peace...including us.
All that remains is to stand and fight.


Long-forgotten Essence: A curious traveler visited our star─a bird which proffered these questions: “What meaning does life hold? For what do you strive?”
I could find no satisfactory answers, only bittersweet memories of an age long past.

There was a time when we were lesser, and in our nescience sought purpose─struggled to justify life's worth.
That was, of course, before we achieved perfection.
Now, condemned to our paradise, we understand the fatuity of existence.


Like the fledglings we once were, the poor bird could not accept the truth.
It asked us again and again─hoping, perhaps, our answer might change.


Long-forgotten Essence: There was a time when we yearned to explore the heavens, found purpose in the hope of unveiling life's mysteries.
A dream shattered when we reached enlightenment, and found it empty.

There was a time when we believed in our legacy, thought ourselves marking a worthy path our successors might follow.
Efforts rendered futile when we discovered the keys to paradise and immortality.

As individuals we struggled to know what was right, yet in today's perfect unity there is naught left to question.
We are infinity constricted by the finite, but no more─Ra-la shall grant us the mercy of annihilation."
