Years ago, an immoral scientist with incredible luck to match his incredible genius rediscovered the blue spider lily, and the formula to resurrect demons. The new Demon King plotted his vile machinations with the utmost patience and caution, beginning to create new demons in 1975. However, starting in 1980, select families of great ability began to receive records of the Breathing Styles of antiquity. The Demon Slayer Corps was reborn, led by the heirs of the Ubuyashiki clan. They searched for new Demon Slayers for 15 years, training and directing them as they grew in strength from the shadows.

Then, in 1990, the Demon King changed the game by sending a broadcast worldwide. His demonic forces launched a simultaneous strike against every military installation across Japan and in the waters around the island nation, destroying any hope of an armed response. He informed the entire world that he held Japan under his rule, and was able to launch an uncontrollable plague on the rest of the world at any time if they interfered. Five years have passed since then, and a never-ending storm has surrounded Japan ever since, blocking any ships or planes attempting to leave or enter.

The Demon King's public declaration was for Japan to return to being an isolationist nation. Without the ability to counterattack, life has returned to some form of normalcy inside the island nation. However, the Demon King's horde of demons still roam the nation, hunting for their victims wherever they see fit. The Demon King's true purposes are unknown, and his influence on the Japanese government has made sure the Demon Slayers are in this fight alone.

Now it's your turn. Will you join the fight?

Welcome to the world of Kolosia! Here, politics and war shape the future, and every choice carries weight.

Are you tired of roleplays where your choices carry NONE of the weight mentioned above at all? Tired of characters living through 50 bullets to the back of the head?

Are you looking for a roleplaying experience akin to reading a book, with ups and downs, a constantly developing plot, led by frail lives that you create?

---Well, then we invite you to Rex Kolosiae! A fictional down-to-earth universe set in the Kingdom of Kolosia. While this nation is free, and led by no other than a great man, upon his death, chaos surely will arise. Question is, how will YOU leave the kingdom? Free for raiders? Or perhaps you will reinforce it beyond it's reasonable capabilities? Or Perhaps you wish to suppress all that is against the crown and become a member of the royal government? The choice is yours.

We Have:
⚔️ Rich Lore & History - A detailed setting with centuries of backstory, from ancient Ledan to the rise of new dynasties.
👑 Dynamic Noble Houses – Play as counts, marshals, dukes, or lords — each with their own rights, armies, and ambitions, and join one of the two houses or perhaps the councill of the king!
📝 Player-Driven Stories – No rigid scripts; events unfold through your actions and alliances.
🌍 Living World – Kingdoms rise, families feud, rebellions spark, and the map itself can change.
🤝 Collaborative Roleplay – Whether you want intrigue, diplomacy, or bloody war, your story matters.

You ever wanna feel the need to just chill out on Discord and talk to people and/or wanna feel the need to roleplay? With your OCs or favorite characters from your favorite media? Well, come on down to the Megaverse Roleplay + Hangout Server⭐!

Set in a time of war, Eudaimonia is a world where the natives of a land filled with magic are fighting for survival. Fighting an uphill battle against the human empire, will you take on the role as an elf to save your kind? Will you choose to be a human reaping the magic from the land? Or perhaps a pirate on the dangerous seas found near the Elven coast? Maybe you'll choose a neutral fae beast that terrorizes the land.

We are a roleplay community that supports the building of your own creative story in the overarching world we have established. Eudaimonia has nine playable species, including the use of hybrids. Meaning, if you don't like your options, you may mix them up based on the given information. Each species has a history unto itself weaving texture into the world that you can freely dig your feet into. Magic is not abundant, but it can be wielded. Our *magic system* helps even out the playing field along with the listed affinities belonging to each race.

༻ Eudaimonia is a literate server and the sentence count for a reply is seven well written sentences in every post.

༻ Staff are happy to help, and answer questions.

༻ Our community is inclusive in all manners, open to diversity, and friendly.

༻ Detailed lore gives you the chance to delve into a fantasy realm without it being overwhelming.

⚠️Disclaimer: warning:
Eudaimonia is an 18+ server due to the nature of its themes, which include, *War, violence, sexual themes*

❗️We do require the use of trigger warnings to protect viewers❗️

✅️Any roleplay content is restricted until verification of age and role-player compatibility.✅️

Basic information part 1: The Lands of the lost
The lands of the lost is a series of interconnected areas created by the being known as "The Overseer" made for their entertainment. Great warriors/fighters from different universes are brought here in order to survive and progress through the areas by defeating 3 of the area's "bosses". The thing is that each person brought to the lands of the lost has something wrong with them either physically or mentally finding out what that is and completing each area is the only way to escape back to their universes. Though if someone were to die in the lands of the lost, their entire existence will be wiped from history meaning everything they've done will be erased and no one will remember them.
