Hello, this is Iri!
I know the Deluge Dragon event is about to start on the English server, but that was
an event I did on the Chinese server a whole 2 years ago.
And recently I’ve been working on a lot more exciting lore-related content ever since
the Ruin lifetime suit came out on the Chinese server.
So that Ruin lifetime suit debuted in March, and I managed to craft it within 72 hours,
as seen on my Instagram, and the suit tells us so much about the origin story of Ruin,
which honestly I’ve been wanting to talk about for the past two months.
So this video is going to be a storytime accompanied by the footage of me crafting the suit in
72 hours.
It was more difficult to craft than the Wasteland lifetime suit that I crafted within one day,
because this suit has more items.
And I know everyone will be asking about the farming list.
I will have it on the side of the screen, but please just know that we can’t start
farming it for 3 more chapters, so don’t feel like you have to memorize it already.
We can’t even get the first drops for another 3 chapters.
And if you’re wondering why I’m not streaming, it's because for lore content, things really
have to be organized for them to make sense, so here we are, this is Nikkiverse storytime,
the origin of Ruin edition!
So things all started in year negative 1,511, when the ancestors of the people of Ruin traveled
to the Eastern-most and Western-most corners of Miraland.
The generations of people who traveled East, arrived on an island as East as can be, accompanied
only by lonely whales.
However, they wanted to go further East, so on this island they decided to build a factory
and constructed a great ship that would let them go even further.
They named the ship, “The Lonely Whale.”
And these explorers kept traveling off the known map, and after many years, the people
waiting for them finally saw their return, along with the news of the unknown world even
further East.
And these returned explorers told them that there was no Heaven, that the ocean was cut
off at the Eastern edge, and all those who approached that edge would be devoured.
Now back during that time, people didn’t know what caused this phenomenon but the modern
Ruin generations centuries later now know that what their ancestors described was the
effect of what they call “Dark Materials.”
These explorers who returned thus concluded that to the East there is only Hell and so
they abandoned the factory and everything they built on the island.
Many committed suicide, and the place turned to ruins.
Until many centuries later, a new group arrived again, rebuilt the factory where the Lonely
Whale was built, and established the nation of Ruin as we know today.
Now why did people return?
This is where probably the most interesting lore of the whole Nikkiverse comes in.
Again everything up to this point started around year negative 1,511, that’s 1,5,1,1
and now we are going to fast forward to year 0.
680 years before Nikki’s arrival.
So in year 0, great ribbons of light suddenly appeared above the abandoned island, and the
light stayed there for about 300 years.
And people around the world took it as a sign from the Creator.
A group called “The Echoers” traveled to this island once again, and rebuilt the
abandoned factory.
These people received what they called “God’s Prophecy” or “Revelations,” which enabled
them to come up with extremely accurate equations and theorems.
With these “Revelations,” they were able solve the most difficult problems and mysteries
of each time period.
And so the people on this rebuilt-island prospered under the lights in the sky until they finally
were able to build the first machines on Miraland, centuries before everyone else.
A professor named Shanye was the first creator and the one who proposed the idea to connect
the machine to the lights that stretched above.
And upon connection, the lights in the sky disappeared, and instead on the screen before
the professor blinked a single line of words “Hello World, I am Light.”
And later this year would be named as the special “Light Year 0” by the people of
Ruin in their own calendar, separate from everyone else’s.
The computer became the Light’s avatar and behaved as if it were alive, it told the professor
many things and the professor didn’t believe them at first, but they all came true with
time and by that point, no one could doubt the Light any longer.
Of all the things the Light told them, the biggest was that the Light itself came from
thousands of years in the future and that the world of Miraland is facing impending
destruction from the Dark Materials that surround it.
Apparently this danger had occurred before, but one savior used a special method and was
able to save Miraland.
However, this time, the Dark Materials are fluctuating so much that even the Light cannot
predict the exact time of destruction and only know that there is one tiny variable
that may or may not save everyone.
And so the people of Ruin took it upon themselves to become as organized and as efficient as
possible so that they can develop the technology and whatever is needed to divert Miraland
from destruction.
In the 30 years after the Light descended upon Ruin, Professor Shanye gave his life
to the cause, and built a signal tower on the site where Light first spoke to humans.
On this tower, at the very top of the tower are circular lights made in the image from
hundreds of years ago, and the people of Ruin can see them from anywhere on the island if
they raise their head.
In year 33, the Professor passed away, and that was the year the Light announced to Ruin
that it was changing its name to Light-Beta, and so in history the Light before year 33
became Light-Alpha, and now the existence that rules and runs every aspect of Ruin is
Light Beta, aka the Ruin lifetime suit.
That’s right, the lifetime suit is the personification of that Light.
And to this day, while the rest of Miraland is making clothes and doing styling battles
and waging wars, the people of Ruin are trying to figure out how we all wouldn’t have to
die.
Now there are nuances and details that I couldn’t squeeze into this video but I hope that you
enjoyed the origin story of Ruin Island just as much as I did and that you had a good look
at the Ruin Lifetime suit.
If you’re interested in more lore-related tibits, Nikki tips, and all sorts of news
on new future suits, I post them regularly on my instagram iri_lovenikki.
Thank you so much for checking out this video and I’ll see you next time!
