About
Paneidoverse is a science-fantasy project with an overarching story that spans more than 35 worlds, including star systems, nebulae, dimensions, and realms in a familiar galaxy. This galaxy is the Milky Way, but its true name, Paneidos, is never spoken for meta reasons.As of October 2025, Paneidoverse consists of 5 active subseries with over 15 stories.As a project, Paneidoverse will be the most inclusive, diverse, and mature connected conworld ever seen. Its target audience are adults, and trigger warnings will be available for all stories.
Name
In this conworld, the true name of the Milky Way is Paneidos. It comes the prefix pan-, "all", and the suffix -eidos, "that which is seen".
Paneidos is all that is seen—and all that is known—in a way you cannot imagine.
And you, Reader, have become a witness to the ultimate battle between Creator and creation that will redefine the meaning of everything you Know.
About
On October 19, 2019, I made the huge decision to stop writing fanfiction so I could focus on my original stories. Before this, when I wrote my fanfiction and my original stories together, I called their shared universe the Multiverse. Nothing original, but it worked. For this new setting of original stories, I felt it needed a good, original name.Inspired by the word "kaleidoscope", I took the prefix -pan, or "all", and the suffix -eidos, "that which is seen". The extremely rough translation of "Paneidoverse", with the additional suffix -verse, would be "the total of all that is seen".I began the first serious steps for Paneidoverse's inception in December 2019 after finishing my novels Inhuman and Shallow Breath.
Concepts
Paneidos is meant to intertwine side-by-side with our world, in every minute detail as we know it to be, until the year 2020. Of course, this isn't possible. It's meant to cause one to experience the ultimate suspension of disbelief.
Paneidos trumps the idea of a god, gods, etc. by introducing the "mere storytellers" that "told" creation into existence. In reality, no human really, truly, undoubtedly knows if there is a supreme overlord or overlords of existence. Therefore, in Paneidos, these storytellers created everything—save for a few special beings. Essentially, everything we don't know—or think we know—about existence is "solved" in this series.
And that's how Paneidos came to be.

Welcome to the directory of central settings, or locations, in Paneidos. Here, you will find surface information about the places the characters call home. They exist in a type of hierarchy, which is explained below. More information may come in time!Despite the usage of the word above, a setting in Paneidos is akin to a hubworld. They consist of massive locations such as star systems, planetary systems, and nebulae. Within these locations are additional places called worlds—not to be mistaken for the in-universe definition of the term. A world is a large location that exists within a setting such as planets, satellites (moons), large space stations, and black holes.Yes, black holes.Last on the hierarchy are subworlds, locations within a world. These include realms, including pocket realms, and dimensions of several subclasses. These are arguably the most important locations as most stories take place within them (following the hierarchy).To reiterate, the hierarchy is setting » world » subworld. Each location within Paneidos has a name and its role to play. Remember to explore them thoroughly, Reader.
Created merely one billion years ago, Vapis is the setting of a large-scale experiment for three groups of people from the Terras. These people defied all odds, creating civilizations for themselves amid the unknown.Unlike their ancestor groups from thousands of years before, the people would not develop advanced technology. In these watery worlds, they live in harmony with the preexisting inhabitants, yet not so much with one another as human beings.In modern time, the experiments have nearly reached their conclusion. The prognosis, however, is also unknown...
