Hi, I'm Layer 23.

Morantum is a personal project I've been building since 2020, but things got serious in early 2025. I never expected a random character design from 2020 would pull me so deep—and make me end up here, building timelines, various races, and entire history.

This world didn't begin with a master plan. It began with curiosity. As an illustrator, I found it unsettling to create characters without knowing why they exist—so I gave them stories. I'm deeply drawn to lore. I've always been obsessed with duality, the idea that every reason has two sides, and that contradictions often carry their own good and bad. Morantum became my playground to explore that.

This project is made independently—just me working with a bunch of layers on my iPad and chaotic-organized notes. If you somehow found your way here: thank you. I hope you're ready to face this world's curse with me.

And hey—

If you or someone you know loves stories about morally gray characters, not purely good or evil, but shaped by reasons buried deep inside them... then maybe this story is for you. You can support it by sharing the world.
