Device IX — Nihility

"Device IX is real. Go find it! There lies all of Dr. Primitive's secrets!"
— Some Drunken Galaxy Ranger


Everything in the universe is bound by the prison of Existence, imprisoned by their body and mind and blinded by the world's appearance. Even the most powerful beings cannot escape this reality. Matter, order, logic, and life... Everything that makes up reality is one side of the coin. On the opposite side, there exists nihility. The two balance each other to create the perfect universe.

Legend has it, in the void of nothingness that is difficult to be perceived by the material world, there lurks a mysterious faction known as Device IX. Those who gaze into the void for a long time will gradually be drawn to its dark energy, eventually passing through the Dark Web that separates reality from nothingness. The legend has yet to be proven though.

The most prestigious geniuses attempted to solve this mystery, challenging the organization with no results. Why was this organization created? What are its goals? How many members does it have and what do they do? Does... Device IX truly exists? The answer is as void as the question itself.
