The Everlasting Flow[]
The Everlasting flow is a primordial force, existing before even the greatest of lords and goddesses. The Everlasting flow is spoken through ancient myths, tombs, and even other races and dead ones being a sign of the will of the Spinner. It is seen as the lifeblood to all living, non-living, objects, the physical, non-physical, etc. It is the origin of all things and just like atoms; Is a necessary building block to life itself. It was as common to know a person had, as blood was. It's what gives strength and life to the mightiest of beings, (EX.The Dark One, Evela the fairy queen, El'Olam the god of earth, and the Red Shadow.) Being that come from the everlasting flow and are beyond the concepts of good and evil, they are not dictated either by contradictions to the world or any force that seeks to change their bodies and minds; are not compressible to lower or more man-like creatures. They exist beyond thought, matter, and existence; having never known the touch of even life. What they do now isn't existing or the other, they simply just are.
The Everlasting flow is not however without its horrors, as it is madness to all those who dare peer into it. It is quite literally chaos and order incarnate. A primeval current of unlimited and unquenchable knowledge; its tendrils pouring in and out of space 'time as if it were sown for it. It is said that peering into it is to peer into the unknown itself.
The Canvas/Universe[]
The Man of Stories universe is massive, The Canvas (The Universe) transcends all mortal and higher understandings, concepts, structures, etc. To an infinitesimal amount. They don't exist to it. Such things as space, time, mathematics/Philosophy/Imaginary worlds, and physics alike share the same view from the Canvas as they are beneath its gaze. The Canvas even surpasses contradiction as even though it was created it soon would outgrow that too and eventually had always been. With no end or beginning. While still keeping the idea of its creation valid it still has no origin acting as a monad for everything, nothing, and all in between out and in.
Inside the Canvas anything is possible, nothing is impossible (Taken right from the official MOS Wiki). Further elaboration can be found in some chapters within the 1st book of MOS.
Elaboration of the Universe within MOS can be found in the following Chapters.
- Chapter 2(It brings up the Canvas's and even galaxies scale.)
- Chapter 3(Goes Indepth on the Scaling of the Hero.)
Fabel Lands[]
In all the layers of the Canvas, there is only one that holds within it the tales of old that sit between the rift of reality and the real world. It was called the Fabel Lands. Lands where all stories existed, even the ones yet to come. David and the Goliath, Alice and Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, Romeo and Juliet, the stories of the Kraken, and even mythical tales from old tribes and different mythologies like the Journey to the West and the Egyptian tale of the Book of Thoth.
The Fable Lands stand so far between reality and the Canvas itself that is untouchable to even the most potent of creatures and gods.
There exist massive Wards, Litches, and even undead lords who exist there that can bend the unbelievable into existence. The highest level of existence, a place where the impossible and unthinkable can exist. Any story, any dream, and any desire created in the Fables Lands exists peacefully with everything else. Christianity itself existed far beyond the others, however, thanks to their God, Elohim. God above Gods as described and even described as being incomprehensible to all others. The Eastern gods and their beliefs existed separately from the Fable Lands too.
Magic and all surrounding it.[]

The Deep[]
Before the universe, there was nothing, and before there was nothing. There was the deep.
The Deep is the vacuum of the nothing, it is the no place, no when, and no what. It predates all forms and traits of the nothing that existed after. The Deep is said to be the emptiness that Edmund Shivel saw when he peered into the Everlasting Flow.
The Universe of Man of Stories has many intense and powerful abilities such as Eternal transcendence, Cosmic otherness, Freedom, Reality warping, Mind attacks, and many others. Even though the universe has its weaker beings, they are still able to pull off incredible feats of power. However, its greatest asset is its attachment to the conceptual, philosophical, and ideological and pretty much any other fancy phrasing for that of a story. Meaning that its main ability would be that like and akin to Fictional Transcendence. As this story and its many other book spin-offs and side books, all deal with a different sort of story, and yet similar to the famous Dark Towers Universe, all seemingly exist either above, akin, or even beneath one another. Seeing one previously as mere fiction or less, while those higher than them are similar to aliens in terms of comprehension and understanding.
