Prologue:

Yharim, The Jungle Tyrant, or whatever one might call him, has been defeated by The Terrarian. The world of Terraria has finally found its peace. However, The Terrarian appears unsatisfied despite all the adventures they've been through.

The Terrarian is a trio of players. The first is Xennary, The Melee. She exudes confidence in her actions and is the mastermind behind their favorite strategy, known as "I'm Front and You Guys Behind" or "Code 1." The second is Renjana, The Mage, a cold and careless guy who doesn't really care about anything around him except his two close friends. He has a peculiar attraction to beauty, akin to a drug. The last member is Grumm, The Ranger, their favorite and the clown, though lately, he has seemed a bit off.

Boredom, once felt by Yharim, begins to seep into their hearts. They summon The Ancient God, Goozma, only to slay her and steal her power, yet satisfaction eludes them. With unwavering confidence and a willingness to take great risks, The Terrarian decides to face The Original Gods, Noxus the Entropic God, and a Nameless Deity, soon.

On a tranquil night with a luminous moon and a sky full of glimmering stars, The Terrarians chilled on a cliff near the town. "You know, Renjana and Grumm, I'm glad to have met you two," Xennary says as she licks an ice cream.

"Hah? Of course, you are! Dude, without me, you couldn't even defeat Plantera!" Grumm laughs, reminiscing about the day they almost perished at the hands of Plantera.

"Hahaha, It would be a shame if this journey were to end soon," Renjana says, joining the chit-chat. "Well, of course, it'll end. We're gonna fight Noxus and a Nameless Deity, The Original Gods!" Grumm declares.

The laughter fades into an awkward silence, with everyone turning serious. "Yes, according to Calamitas, even Yharim couldn't defeat that Nameless Deity." Xennary solemnly speaks.
...

Suddenly, Grumm woke up on white-glowing stairs with a fire-like sky, feeling confused. He looked down but couldn't see anything except the infinite, white-glowing stairs. When he tried to descend, it felt like a loop, just walking in the same place. He then attempted to ascend, and slowly a land appeared at the end of the stairs. As he stepped onto it, the stairs vanished, and a voice emerged from nowhere

"Welcome, Grumm."
"In solitude, only you behold the heavenly splendor enveloping this realm."
"Your presence here has been ordained, so that you might fathom you and your friend's destiny."
"You and your friend had defeated The Hunt of the Old God, and The Dark One."
"That's good of you."
"Once triumphant, your fate shall interlace with mine once more, and you will be tested."
"Good Luck."

"Gasp!?" Grumm awoke, startled. "Is that?... No, of course not. It's just a dream—a bad dream," Grumm reassured himself. "It's been already a few months since we defeated Noxus," he spoke to himself. "And I can't stop dreaming about that thing." Uneasiness filled Grumm as he woke up, hastily donning his armor. "Every night, it's just the same terrifying nightmare. I don't think I can keep enduring this."

Later that night

It is nighttime in the World of Terraria. In the distance, you can see a glowing house with a cube appearance where the Terrarians lived. "As I said before, Renjana, you and Grumm stay in the back, preparing your power, and I will be in the front, becoming the damage recipient. Understood?" Xennary instructs.

The two Terrarians who are listening nod almost simultaneously and say, "Understood." While Xennary and Renjana prepare on their own, Grumm, remembering his dream, tries to start a chit-chat with Xennary.

With a cough, Grumm starts the conversation. "Hi, Xennary. Are you sure this strategy will work as you say? I mean, yeah, it always worked before, but the Nameless Deity is different because-"
"Heh, of course, you know nobody can't defeat the Mastermind of Xennary!" Xennary speaks with full confidence. "Heh, cocky," says Renjana.
