Chapter 1 - The brief introduction of Null City

1. About Null City  

Null City is a city that's place as the start and origin of every map.

Imagine you're holding a map, any map. No matter if it the map of the city you're on, the world map plastered in the shape of the planet you're on, the star chart that detail the universe, the multi-dimensional map that guide you to differents dimensional coordinates, the Omnimap,etc... If you're going to the coordinate 0 - the place to start the map- and doing a special action, you could open a portal, and find yourself in the mysterious wonder that's Null City.

In theory, you could goes to any place in the world, universe, planes and metas of your choosing, and take that as your starting point of your very own map.

That's mean, every place could be the place where you could access and travel to Null City itself. 

In fact, the map itself doesn't need to be existed. In itself, a "map" is already there, marking "everywhere" as it "origin" point in a single entity.

So, in short, Null City is everywhere, and everywhere is within Null City's reach.

2. The reason for the name.

Null City, named by the ones first discovering it and it unofficial rulers, is based on an rather interesting concept from a certain planet that's his homeland.

In a field of information technology, certain error in an informational program could let it to mistake that a 0- or data value as nothing- and Null - as in truly nothing in there. In certain case, that mean the information machine in that planet could mistake the coordinate of a certain data from (Null,Null)- or no information is known- to (0,0) - the point of 0 in their planet's map (since they mostly live in the surface of their own planet, the data is only 2-Dimensional, consist only of a longitude and a latitude). That mean, though it's a mistake, their information machine could see a lot of something happening in the planet, even when it's in the middle of nowhere, consist only of sea (a large body of water) and a guiding mark. Finding Something in Nothing. And thus, its rulers name it be, drawing from his experience in finding it.

Though it's called a city, it's actual size is infinite, comparing to the city that the ruler used to live in. 

Then, why does it's called as such then.

"Um...because there's people in it. There're a loooot of them, so you can't really called it something small, like a village or a town.  They also keep doing thing as they please, so you can't call it a country either. So, a City it is." Another of the rulers said that, cheerfully and proudly smiling while as such.

We'll talk about it later.

3. The Legend.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

Before time, before space, before law and before everything. An entity enter it's eternal slumber.

In it dream, it create law, it create space, it create time,it create everything. And everything spraw endlessly and infinitely from the center that's his body. And thus the infinite world of our is born, always is, and always will be for eternity.

In it eternity, his dream dulled him, it warped him in into an incomprehensible and repulsive form and robbed him of his sense, and it's denizen that come from it darkest and deepest place in his concious, used everything in it power to further plummeted in it own slumber forever, as even a hint of conciousness is the end of his dream.

And so it is, known as the ruler of all, and yet known as a blind idiot god, for eternity.

...Or at least it should be.

In one infinitesimal moment of eternity, one cosmic phenomenon change thing forever.

A certain pair of entity, with one having possessed the power of impossibility, have approach the center of all just on a wimp. 

Apparently, they have come to him, surpassing the limit of dimension, surpassing the infinite and then all of the outer god just because "she want a pet of her own". 

Upon meeting him, she attempted to wake it up, despite the warning of it envoy that it will destroy all that is and isn't be. As the blind idiot wake up, it howl in rage, as it was already reduced into it most basic instinct, and the world's border is shrinking, as it's threaten to recollect itself into one again.

...Yet, despite the imminent threat of the world's destruction, despite the howling form of rage and instinct before her...She just smile, cheerfully so.

"Hey, bad potential pet dog! Now why don't you calm down abit?"

Saying so, she open her arm wide and hug the raging montrosity, immediately he calm down, and sanity slowly returning to him. Because of it, the shrinking accelerate. Again, seeing such, she casually said.

"It would be a problem if the world is disappearing, so how about I seperating it?"

And so with her word, the shrinking stop. It then expand again, become wider than it was before, wider than the infinite and eternal dream it have. 

As the blind began to regain it sense, and the idiot began to return to sanity, it's form began to glow and change. As it brightest, he began to see the world with his own sense, not in his dream and in his dulled mind, but as his clearest. 

After that, the blind idiot disappear, leaving only the big empty space behind, where it once lurk. That space, stretch out to infinity and beyond, is the origin of Null City.

What happen with him, what fate does he have now, we don't know.

But, apparently, these two just adopt an "Old English Sheepdog" after that, and it spend it time sleeping and sunbathing in the sun.

4. The wonder.

As said before, it can access everywhere, everytime in every conceivable possibility and even true impossibility.

Thanks to it impossible spatiology, things from all around the verses have coalesced into this place. All the wonder you wish you could see and have never seen before could be enjoyed in there. From the breath-taking scene of the merging of worlds, to the stampede of the thought-to-be wiped out of the record metabeasts racing across the void between. Even the planet-dweller could see something even more spectacular, we must let you see it to believe it.

It's also the gathering of many people. From mortal to god,from the vilest beast of disaster to the most holy of saint, from the wisest and most intelligent to the most barbaric and everything in between, and all are unique. Every conceivable race and species in the verse and then some, appearing, disappearing and reappearing from this place all the times, with many room to spare. A true mish-mash of every verse that ,thank to the nature of this place and it own rulers, that do everything they please, yet still keep enough sense of order to become a city it is.

We'll be introducing apart of it to all of you who read it in the next page, starting with the next chapter.
