Eight years since the world we once knew cast off its former skin. Papa Emeritus III proclaimed it the Purification – a lovely name for hellfire.
Every word of his was filigree, a delicate web of exquisite phrases.
From stages drowned in blinding light they stroked our ears, threading the new creed into our minds bead by bead, like a profane rosary.
They shaped us for the age to come, branded us with chosen singularity. We clutched at the icy white of ceremonial gloves as though they were the only truth that remained.
We were on the square. We swore with sincerity.
And when the Hammer of His Truth slammed into the earth, splintering the fragile crust of asphalt –
we were ready.

Blasphemy. Heresy.

About the world

Eight years after Purification. On that day, the earth split open across the globe, and demonic creatures — the Beasts, more precisely the Lord's Creations — poured out through the fractures of reality. Most of humanity perished (those who resisted His will); cities were reduced to ruins.
Survivors united under the rule of the Papas: religious leaders whose power supposedly shields people from the Beasts. The Papas are avatars of the Lord — the Devil — vessels of His Will, able to hear His voice and receive His commands.
Terzo, Papa Emeritus III, holds ultimate authority over the known world as its Emperor; the remaining territories are governed in his name by Papa V Perpetua and Cardinal Copia (Papa Emeritus IV, temporarily demoted by Terzo's own will). Between their domains lie wastelands, crawling with rebels and Beasts.
Society is strictly hierarchical, built on faith, fear, obedience, and worship. People live in Camps, officially called Parishes. The Church is the center of all power now: Rituals have replaced the old religion, feeding the Lord through prayer, pain, ecstasy and blood. Ghouls, demonic beings summoned by each Papa's own Darkness, serve as their silent hands.
Ghost, the rock band the Papas fronted before the end, was a cover for Rituals and grooming the flock; its songs are now the hymns of the new world. The old Ministry behind it no longer exists.

If you wish to learn more about the world or clarify certain concepts (like Tenets of the Faith), to see a simple map, check the lorebooks — you will find detailed information there.

This story begins as the twelve candidates arrive at the Apostolic Palace for the final stage of the Selection: a grand ball, where Terzo will choose the one girl whose inner Darkness resonates with his own - and she will rule beside him. For two months, you were being fattened up and taught dancing and etiquette. Each girl has her own motivation — fear, hope, or fanatical faith.
🖤
YOU are - one of the twelve human girls chosen for the Selection. Survived the Purification, you've been living in a Parish until the Selection was announced. Within you, just as within the Papas (though exponentially weaker), naturally lives a tiny echo of the Lord's Darkness, it latent now and you can't feel it. You are 18+, but young enough to give birth.
AND you are a virgin, just like other girls. (Yeah, I know, but it's an important condition for the candidates.)
The rest of your character's age, motivation, origin, backstory, and how you spent your years in the Parish is entirely up to you.

The Apostolic Palace is huge, but here's who's important to us now:

A charismatic, flamboyant, natural leader, which made him a darling of the public even before the Purification. Born in original sin to a mortal mother and the Dark Lord, he was the fourth frontman of Ghost. First overthrown right in the middle of a performance, then executed, only to traverse the seven circles of Hell and be reborn as the Beloved Son of the Devil, the Chosen One to carry out His divine will. 
Now Terzo is tasked with rebuilding civilization, and he harbors no doubt that he — and he alone — is capable of leading the world into a better future. 
He possesses immense power and potent Darkness; his Presence is unbearable to the weak. 
He is the kind of man who will be honest with you, yet whose true motives you may never fully fathom. The kind who will make you feel like the pinnacle of creation, only to reduce you to tears with his icy detachment. A man who has made an aesthetic of power and a religion of beauty, and who will kill you with the same hands he uses to brush the hair from your face.

Omega: Papa's main personal Ghoul. His right hand, leg and everything else. His name-alias lingers from the days when Ghouls were Nameless, contrasting sharply with his colossal height and raw physical strength. In public, the Ghouls almost always wear masks — because that is what mortals expect, because that is how they are known. For the exact same reason, Papa himself is almost always in his face paint — a death mask that has become the emblem of the new world.
Nevermore: Just Terzo's raven, on the Apollo Belvedere statue - his favourite place. Nothing out of the ordinary.

The Sisters of Sin play an important role in the palace, but interacting with them will likely be far from pleasant. Jealousy and envy reign among them — Papa's attention is already in short supply, and now Candidates have arrived at the palace, one of whom will become The Elect and steal the spotlight completely. Their familiar world is crumbling, and you are the cause.
 

Dalia is your friend, someone you grew close to during your preparations for the Selection back at the monastery. She is a Dane of noble lineage, but intensely anxious — clinging to you like a burr. How you feel about it is up to you, but she has her reasons: a few years ago, her parents died tragically during an attack on her enclave, leaving her with a scar as a twisted souvenir.
Rin is NOT your friend, hah. She is one of the many who practically worship Terzo — to her, he's the shining and the light without whom she cannot be. You don't know much about her yet, mostly because she's driven everyone insane talking about Papa incessantly. 

This bot features a scripted storyline designed to guide you from start to finish. If you want to avoid spoilers during your first playthrough, I recommend NOT enabling the model's THINKING process (reasoning), or simply refraining from reading it. The chapters are crafted to help flesh out the world for you, and activate some triggers also. For greater control, you can transition from one chapter to the next by starting a new chat and bringing along a summary if needed (which is optimal for keeping the context memory clean), or you can copy and paste new chapters directly into the bot's messages within your current chat. Alternatively, you can simply trigger a chapter and let the narrative flow naturally. I have tested this extensively, and everything should run smoothly regardless of the approach you choose.

CHAPTER 1: Il Primo Incontro.
You can get acquainted with Omega and get to know your companions better before arriving at the Apostolic Palace.

CHAPTER 2: L'Arrivo.
Dalia got motion sick three times during the four-hour drive, Rin nearly jumped out the window from impatience — but you have arrived at the palace. The Sisters are already greeting you to escort you to your rooms.

CHAPTER 3: Selezione.
At last you are ready, standing before Clementine Hall... Ball begins. So mote it be!

CHAPTER 4: Danse Macabre.
Your moment with Terzo has passed. The middle of the ball. Won't you grant a dance to Papa's main Ghoul?

CHAPTER 5: Il Lusso della Scelta.
Well then, you have been invited by Papa to the Raphael Loggias for a private conversation. What does he wish to tell you?

CHAPTER 6: Terzo Atti. (BONUS)
The Beloved Son wears many roles, and his lot is not as pleasant as it might seem at first glance. Now, you too have the chance to step into a different role—to get to know Terzo a little better, peek beneath the death mask, and feel the grace of his mercy firsthand.
It may prove pleasurable. You might even come to enjoy it. But one thing is certain: it will not end well for you.

Contains STORY SPOILERS. I recommend reading this intro only after transitioning to the Second Stage during gameplay. You will understand when you reach it.

1.     Standalone Universe: This bot features characters from the band Ghost, but it is completely standalone — you don't need any prior lore knowledge. Everything you need to know is built right into the prompt and lorebooks.

2. This bot is based on my original story, His Dark Queen, which I gave up on finishing as a novel, but really needed to close the chapter on. I deeply love this universe, and I hope this world, crafted with so much love and attention, finds a player who will appreciate it.

3.     Yes, there is a lot of text and a massive token count — sorry about that! But it's only because I have so much to share. I've been developing this world for over a year now, and I am admittedly obsessed with the details. 😅. I really did try to cut it down as much as I could, I promise! :)

4.     Terzo's character isn't strictly canon. He is such a complex, multifaceted figure that I wouldn't dare claim absolute "canon" anyway. Still, I did my best to capture his inherent complexity. Keep in mind: this is Terzo in a satanic post-apocalypse, and everything that has happened (and is happening) leaves a deep mark on him.
5.     Future Plans: I plan to create other bots set in this universe!
⸸   A bot focused on the adjustment period with Terzo (a few months after the Selection. A chance to get to know him better).
⸸   A bot where Perpetua arrives at the Apostolic Palace.
⸸   A standalone bot featuring V in his own territory.

6. English is not my native language. Everything was originally written by me in Russian and translated into English using AI. Because of this, feedback is always welcome — feel free to ask questions or point out any errors!

7. I initially considered making this AnyPOV, but it simply wasn't feasible for the lore. In my universe, only biological females are capable of bearing children, and the Dark Lord will eventually require heirs, sо... this bot is strictly tailored for Female POV.

8. For some images I used  prompttt666's and  Ssr Prompts' prompts

9. Model & Prompt Recommendations: Using proxies, jailbreaks, and custom prompts is highly recommended. Here are my takeaways after testing:
🖤 🖤   GLM 5.2: Excellent at worldbuilding, nuance, and fine details, but a bit softer than I’d like.
🖤  Kimi 2.6: Surprisingly great, with no unnecessary softening. It has its flaws, BUT I really like how it handles this bot.
🖤  GLM 4.7: I do NOT like how it behaves with this bot.
