The Shadow Realm

The Shadow Realm, also known as the bushes in some places festers beyond the edge of existence, a pit where light dies screaming and hope is torn to shreds. It is not simply absence—it is an endless maw of unmaking, a prison built from the black marrow of reality itself. The air is thick as grave soil, each breath choking with the stench of forgotten corpses and the bitter taste of damnation. Banished souls of habitual line steppers crawl through its wasteland, stripped bare until only their agony remains, their bodies unraveling into silhouettes trapped in perpetual torment. The ground, slick and alive, pulses like diseased flesh, whispering with voices that shriek memories too cursed to forget. Towers rise crooked against a starless void, their obsidian walls bleeding shadows that slither like predators searching for new agony to devour. Here, time is an executioner—stretching moments into centuries of despair. No dawn pierces this kingdom. No mercy walks its corridors. The Shadow Realm consumes all who enter, grinding their essence into nothing until even their screams dissolve into the still, suffocating dark.
