Black Sphere

Biodata

Background / History

The Black Sphere manifests as a massive, pitch-black sphere approximately one meter in diameter 2. It first appears in an enclosed room smelling of moldy tatami mats, accompanied by eerie radio calisthenics music, pulling select students from Advanced Nurturing High School into survival trials 1 2. Operated behind the scenes primarily by Su Wei (who modifies its rules, armories, and spawn lists), the Black Sphere serves as a mechanism to test students' survival skills, adaptability, and combat prowess against various anomalous threats 1 2.

Over time, the sphere evolves its scope beyond a simple localized death game, integrating elements from across the multiverse—such as Parasites, Ghouls, Kabane, Vampires, and Pillar Men—while establishing scoring metrics (S Points), a shop system for advanced gear, and resurrection mechanics 2 11 17 168 170. Later iterations of the system introduce white, higher-tier spheres and transition control toward a broader "Main God" framework, managing cross-world logistics, merchants, and special training environments like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber 138 213 223.
