World • Twisted Wonderland

OverviewLocationsGalleryTraditions

Twisted Wonderland is the world the protagonist gets transferred to and the setting of the game. It's a place beyond the known world, where magic users coexist with those who can't use it.

The Great Seven

There are seven influental figures in the world, called The Great Seven whose deeds are told through many legends.

Queen of Hearts

A queen who ruled over a maze of roses and brought the rule of law to a chaotic kingdom. Under her strict leadership, no rose was off-color, nor was any playing-card soldier out of step.

Statue Inscription

The Queen of Hearts (ハートの女王, Hāto no Joō) was a ruler and jurist of her domain, which was a mazelike garden of roses. She was a strict woman, prioritizing laws and order above everything. However, she also enjoyed tea parties and croquet. If any of her subjects broke a rule, their punishment would be decapitation - because of this, no one dared to defy her.

She had a husband, the King of Hearts, who devoutly supported his queen.

King of Beasts

Through grit and determination, this king of beasts overcame his lesser claim of succession to rule over a vast savanna. He sought equality for all creatures—even those once banished from the realm.

Statue Inscription

The King of Beasts (百獣の王, Hyakujū no Ō) ruled over the savanna, though he wasn't born into the throne. Instead, he worked hard to earn the position. Once a king, he strived for equal treatment of all animals, as he declared that hyenas would be pariahs no more.

Sea Witch

A compassionate sea witch who dwelled in a grotto deep beneath the waves. To repent for past misdeeds, she devoted herself to helping troubled souls, guiding even seemingly hopeless romances to a true happy ending.

Statue Inscription

The Sea Witch (海の魔女, Umi no Majo) lived in an underwater grotto and devoted her life to helping the less fortunate merfolk. She'd help them with anything, from changing their appearance to finding love - that is, if they were willing to pay the price for their wishes.

It's said that there were no wishes she couldn't grant. She's most famous for making a shapeshifting potion to give a mermaid human legs so she could be with the man she loved. Such potions are said to be rare even now.

Sorcerer of the Sands

A wise sorcerer of a desert kingdom who used his keen insight to obtain a magic lamp that granted him great power. He supported his king by regularly offering carefully considered words of advice.

Statue Inscription

The Sorcerer of the Sands (砂漠の魔術師, Sabaku no Majutsushi) used to be an advisor of a sultan. He was smart and capable, who exposed a swindler that was pretending to be a prince and trying to trick the sultan's daughter. In the outcome, the sorcerer got a magic lamp and used its power to become sultan.

Fairest Queen

The fairest queen of all, and one who was always diligently striving to better herself. She utilized the powerful magic at her command to tirelessly pursue her ideals.

Statue Inscription

The Fairest Queen (美しき女王, Utsukushiki Joō) was said to be the most beautiful of all across the land. She had a magic mirror she would ask everyday who's the fairiest of them all, and when it seemed like her position was threatened, she'd do anything to keep it. It's also said that she was an expert at making poisons, and had vast knowledge in astrology and alchemy.

King of the Underworld

The lord of the Underworld, and guide to the wandering souls of the dead. He carried out his fearsome duties with diligence and care, motivating even the defiant to offer their aid.

Statue Inscription

The King of the Underworld (死者の国の王, Shisha no Kuni no Ō) ruled over a kingdom full of rampant spirits all by himself. He was a forthright person who worked tirelessly and had Cerberus, the Hydra and the Titans at his command. It's also said that he had a temper; his hair turned red when he got mad. He also had a silver tounge, was skilled at small talk and good at negotiating.

Thorn Fairy

A fairy who reigned over a mystical mountain, wielding magical powers that included mastery over storms and thorns. Proud and refined, she cherished solitude even as she commanded her countless minions.

Statue Inscription

The Thorn Fairy (茨の魔女, Ibara no Majo) lived on a mythical mountain. She was noble and elegant, and even by the standards of the great seven she had powerful magic and curses. She was able to use magic on a large scale - she covered the kingdom with thorns and commanded storms. She could also transform into a dragon.

Spelldrive

Spelldrive is a popular team sport in Twisted Wonderland that requires both strong athletic ability and magical expertise. MC compares the sport to American football, for it has similar rules. A team has seven players, and players must move a floating disc using their own magic. Two teams play against each other and score points by getting the disc through the other team's goal post. While some players move across the field on foot, others are seen flying on brooms. Players can use their magic for both offense and defense, but it's considered foul play to cast magic directly at other players.
