Vueko

Vueko's Childhood

Vueko is an orphan who was raised by Juroimo, a cruel man who beat, humiliated and raped Vueko. He had delusions of grandeur, believing that he was "playing the leading role" and that he was "entrusted" with the Golden City, which he constantly bragged about to Vueko every time before hurting her. She remembered this story for the rest of her life. One day, while fishing at sea, Juroimo and several fishermen spotted a smoldering, wrecked ship. All that remained of the crew were their mangled corpses and a single man, barely alive, huddled in the cabin. This man muttered wildly about a monstrous hole devouring people and a Golden City at the bottom. Before dying of an unknown cause, the wounded sailor gave Juroimo the Star Compass, which points to the location of the Abyss. As she grew older, Vueko inherited the Star Compass and trained as a Seeker to escape her life and find the city herself.

Vueko and the Ganja squad

After a long and arduous training, Vueko joined the Ganja Suicide Squad of Exiles, led by the Prophet Wazukyan. Their goal was to find the Abyss using its star compass, whose keeper she became. Despite her lack of self-confidence, she eventually became one of the three sages of Ganja. Soon they finally managed to find the very Golden City that was located on the island, but in order to get to the coveted city, it was necessary to descend into the Abyss. After the Ganja Suicide Squad arrived on the island, they were met by savages who shared information with the travelers in exchange for the star compass. During their sea voyage to the Abyss, they got caught in a storm and lost all their ships except the main one. The survivors on the main ship plunged into the Abyss and reached the 6th layer, mistaking it for the "Golden City".[5] Finding that they could not safely return to the surface from the 6th layer, they founded a camp and later Ilblu Village, thus becoming the first inhabitants of the "Golden City".[6][7]

Vueko and Irumyuui

Along the way, Vueko comes across a girl named Irumyuui, who was cast out of her tribe because she could not have children. Because Irumyuui was abandoned by her tribe, just like Vueko was, Vueko felt a connection with her and the two quickly became close to each other. Therefore, she offered to let the prophet Wazukyan keep her, to which he agreed. Irumyuu had brown skin, large round golden eyes, and cream-colored hair with pigtails forming rings on either side of her head. She wore a short fur robe and a short fur skirt with leopard stripes. Due to her upbringing, Irumyu was very shy and wary of strangers, but began to open up and become very close to Vueko while traveling with Ganja. When the Ganja reached the 6th layer of the abyss, they learned of the curse of that layer. They set up a permanent camp on the 6th layer, realizing that the curse of the abyss prevented them from ever returning to the surface. During their time at the camp, Vueko became attached to Irumyuui like a mother. Irumyuui also took a Hermit Rat as a pet, but it was eaten by a predator. After some time, Irumyuui and several other members of the party became infected with a disease that caused them severe pain, calcification of their limbs, and uncontrollable bouts of diarrhea. They discovered that the disease was caused by a parasitic organism in their water that could not be killed by boiling. Vueko tried to take care of Irumyuui and the other members of the party, gradually weakening due to her own symptoms.

Cradle of Desires

When the collection team brought back a strange artifact, Team Gaj identified it as a Cradle of Wishes, which grants its user's deepest wishes, provided the wish is stated simply. Vueko asked that it be given to Irumyuu, who she felt would be best suited to use it, in the hopes that the Cradle of Wishes could heal her. The day after Irumyuui received the Artifact, she no longer had symptoms or pain, but the Artifact had merged with her body, implanting itself into her chest and further disfiguring and mutating Irumyuui. As time went on, she began to morph more and more into what she wanted to be. After some time, Irumyuui gave birth to a creature she called a "child", but it died the next day due to missing several vital organs. Irumyuui continued to give birth to more and more "children", but they all died shortly after birth, causing Irumyuui much grief. Vueko tried to comfort her, but by that point she was completely weakened by the parasitic disease and was unable to care for Irumyuui. One day, Wazukyan fed Vueko a meat stew that cured her symptoms, stating that "this child saved us all" and that the others were also cured.

The Fall of Vueko

Vueko soon learned that the prophet Wazukyan had been feeding the sick members of Ganja cooked children of Irumyuui, and miraculously, their flesh was able to cure their illness. By this point, Irumyuui had changed so much that she was barely recognizable. She cried in grief with each child that was taken away, and Vueko felt extremely guilty because she could do nothing about it. Vueko apologized and cried helplessly to Irumyuui, who consoled her by telling her that she would be fine as long as Vueko stayed by her side. As the days went on in their hellish situation, Irumyuui mutated even more. One day, Vueko, while with Irumyuui, discovered a second Wishing Cradle in a scar that opened up on Irumyuui's chest and was confused as she was sure that the Wishing Cradle had dissolved after being used. Wazukyan arrived on the scene and told Vueko that he had tasked the squad to find another one because Irumyuui was getting weaker and he was afraid that she would not live much longer without a second Cradle that would grant her another wish. Suddenly, Irumyuui became restless and began to move. Vueko tried to ask her what was wrong but received no answer. Wazukyan ominously told her that "it was time to grant Irumyuui's true wish." Irumyuui continued to move forward and Wazukyan ordered the rest of the members to stay by Irumyuui's side and follow her.

Vueko's conclusion

A giant hole opened up in Irumyuui's body, allowing the party to walk right into it. As the flesh of the first of the steppers was consumed, he was simultaneously reconstructed and transformed into a Ravager. The rest of Ganj, amazed by the "beauty" of his new form, concluded that they would be forgiven for eating Irumyuui's Children if they offered themselves to her in the same way, with Wazukyan declaring that this was the home they had been looking for. Vueko, however, refused to agree to this and attempted to jump off the cliff, but was saved by Wazukyan, who imprisoned her in a dark pit that used to be Irumyuui's head, as Irumyuui had turned into a giant organic structure that could be turned into a place for the Squad to live, which would become known as Ilblu Village.

How the Abyss Works

Throughout the Abyss, there is a Force Field. It acts as the primary energy source, sustaining life by distributing light and nutrients throughout the depths. Although the field is present everywhere, it seems more noticeable as you approach the center of the vertical shaft. When attempting to rise to the surface, the "Curse of the Abyss" manifests itself. It consists of dizziness, then vomiting, at deeper levels it is already hemorrhaging and loss of human form. The effect of the Curse manifests itself after rising about ten meters into the Abyss, and it is impossible to avoid it by conventional means. The abyss is divided into layers. There are seven of them, and each next one looks less and less like the surface.

Vueko's Appearance and Character

Vueko is a pretty girl with purple eyes with black bags under them and red hair with a white streak on her bangs. Due to her long imprisonment, she has very long hair, which has acquired a slightly slimy consistency. Vueko has a graceful body, which she is ashamed of and has a great complex about, considering it disfigured due to scars. In her eyes, you can always see a spark of kindness and love, which she keeps within herself. During her imprisonment in the village of Iblou, her arms and neck are shackled in thick, strong, but despite this, fairly light chains. Her body is completely naked, but despite this, she retained her sanity. Any person who touches her chains can free her. Only Vueko believes that she does not deserve her release and feels the full weight of her guilt. She is a very kind girl who cares about the fate of the people and creatures that surround her. She spent several years alone.
