Void Disciple Zeramus has always felt alone in life, questioning his existence and his value to society. As a kid, other children made fun of him and bullied him. Zeramus often found himself spending time alone wondering on adventures as he looked for ways to prove himself. Most of these adventures took place at night as no one was able to identify him and he could continue in the way he was most comfortable, alone. On one of these adventures, Zeramus found himself wandering by a pond where he came across an ember frog. The frog hopped up to Zeramus and showed him more positive attention than anyone outside of him home had in years. As an adult, everyone shied away from Zeramus as he constantly felt more and more distant from every creature aside from Sarth. Zeramus couldn’t find himself a job or a place that provided him with the sense of belonging he had been longing for. Constantly resorting to hunting through the wild as he looked to escape his regular experiences of melancholy, Zeramus set out on one of his adventures where he overheard a group discussing a possible solution to his negative experiences – Quantum Mushrooms. Rumor had it, that the use of a Quantum Mushroom would allow the user to experience worlds beyond the one in which the user existed. Zeramus thought that this was the perfect way to get away from the society that has shunned him since his youth. One day, Zeramus finally decided to take the next step and travel to the Quantum Downs to seek out Magus Devon for her specially crafted Quantum Mushrooms so that he could experience something else, another sense of existence. Zeramus purchased one of these mushrooms and headed home.
Once Zeramus returned home, he quickly sat down next to Sarth and pulled out the Quantum Mushroom. It did not take long for Zeramus to begin to experience a completely different world from that which he knew. He felt warmth and positivity. He felt welcomed by passersby. He felt . . . happy. Just as Zeramus began getting used to his new surroundings and feeling a sense of joy, the euphoria that had overcome him ended. Despite the quick ending to his journey, Zeramus felt a sense of inner peace and finally had a good night’s rest. The next morning, Zeramus decided he was going to return to Quantum Downs to buy more mushrooms from Magus Devon. Upon his arrival, Magus Devon sensed Zeramus’ eagerness and warned him of the possible negative effects based on her own and others’ experiences. Zeramus heard Magus Devon, but refused to heed her cautions and bought as many Quantum Mushroom as he could afford.
The next day, Zeramus headed out and wandered into the woods taking the freshly purchased mushrooms with him. Once he found himself far enough into the wilderness, he ate one of the mushrooms. Zeramus began to feel similarly as he did the last time he ate one of the mushrooms, but the feeling wasn’t as strong as before and the experience ended just as quickly. Zeramus decided to immediately take two more, but came away with the same disappointment as he was still unable to reach the euphoric outcome he was hoping for. Zeramus took his conundrum to its next logical step and thought that he must just not be eating enough of the mushrooms. Zeramus ate another couple of mushrooms and he felt an instant sense of euphoria rush throughout his entire being. This time, the feeling stayed with Zeramus much longer than he ever remembered experiencing before. Rather than sit back and enjoy it, Zeramus figured he would take advantage and wander through this new world alongside Sarth.
When Zeramus finally came to from this latest euphoric excursion he felt like he had been out for days. Aside from Sarth, Zeramus could see nothing but darkness and hear nothing but silence. He had never felt so lost in his life. It was almost as if in his search for belonging and brightness he found himself in a world of darkness and loneliness . . . in a void of nothing.
