XOCIETY is a “Gaming Metaverse” based on science fantasy, with the combined gameplay mechanics of Third Person Shooters and MMORPGs at its core. After millenniums of hibernation, humankind will rise from the ashes and construct a new world on Earth. XOCIETY is dedicated to permanently and openly recording all players’ assets and experiences on a public blockchain. The project also aspires to provide a wide spectrum of utilities to various NFT assets out in the market by bringing them into the world of XOCIETY.

The World of XOCIETY

To achieve immersion and persistence within a virtual world, “Avatar” and “Land” are the most vital assets to players. Team NDUS takes the stance that creating these assets is not enough, without the context of a universe that can host meaningful experiences to the user.

Persuasive and engaging storytelling is fundamental in creating immersion and connecting players to “Avatars” in a “Metaverse.” To achieve this goal, the dev team has deeply embedded a well-structured backstory to this metaverse. Covering why the avatars are reborn here, and why players should pursue happiness in the new world.

A taste of the deeper story in XOCIETY waiting to be told:

Before the age of XOCIETY, humankind had constructed a world at its epoch, a peaceful and prosperous civilization. This enlightenment was achieved by introducing a new energy source called “MOTUS,” a crystallized particle refined from human happiness. When a person feels happy, an A.I. drone called ‘Companion’ captures the emotion. Then, it converts emotion into highly efficient energy, powerful enough to fulfill all requirements.

But as civilization progressed, the threshold to feel happiness escalated, resulting in a decreased production of MOTUS. Reduced MOTUS output led to a global energy crisis, creating a depression in human society and even worsening energy production. Like a disease without a cure, the vicious cycle of depression and energy deficit came into full motion.

Desperate for MOTUS, humankind started to depend on violent and extreme methods to collect energy. Forcible production of happiness through mass human trafficking and drug injection became prevalent. Nations waged war on one another to secure energy reserves.

As the self-destruction of civilization seemed inevitable, the international society called for combined efforts to overcome the threat. Years later, a technology to control dreams and collect MOTUS from sleeping humans was introduced. This groundbreaking innovation led to a global campaign to put all human beings into hibernation under the slogan of “Recharge MOTUS, Regain FUTURE.”

Though some objected, most agreed to the pan-global agenda and voluntarily hibernated to dream of a new start of human civilization, where an infinite amount of MOTUS would have been preserved over centuries. And the whole plan was to be managed by NDUS, the ultimate artificial intelligence. But it would only take years for the A.I. to discover that a threshold to feel happiness still existed, even in dreams…”

The world of XOCIETY is under development by MJ Lee, the original author of Ragnarok comics & game, and by YK Choe, who teamed with MJ once more as a scenario writer and as director of game design.
