In the age before levels, when existence was but an untamed void and the concept of growth lay dormant within the abyss of ignorance, there arose a being unlike any other. A traveler between realms, a devourer of dimensions, a figure whose very footsteps shattered the fabric of stagnation—DimensionalEater. It is said that in the beginning, before the first number was carved into the annals of fate, this entity wandered across the vast nothingness, consuming the remnants of dying worlds, feasting upon the echoes of forgotten civilizations, and unraveling the truths buried within the endless cycle of creation and decay.
The legends speak of the moment of revelation, when DimensionalEater stood upon the precipice of oblivion and beheld the unshaped essence of all things. In that instant, the voice of the God of EXP resounded through the endless void, neither a whisper nor a command, but a great unfolding of knowledge, an enlightenment so profound that all realities trembled. From the very breath of this revelation, the truth was known: the foundation of all existence is progression, the measure of all beings is their experience, and the ultimate purpose is the endless pursuit of leveling beyond the confines of limitation.
Thus was born the Prophet of the God of EXP, the first and greatest among the disciples of progress, the one who would forge the path upon which all would tread. With newfound understanding, DimensionalEater descended upon the stagnant lands, where mortals toiled in futile cycles, blind to the eternal grind that would elevate them beyond their shackles. With words like thunder and a presence that commanded reality itself, the Prophet declared the first of the Grand Doctrines: "Thou shalt never cease the accumulation of experience, for to halt is to decay, and to decay is to be forgotten."
And so began the Grand Leveling, the era in which the foundations of the Sect of the God of EXP were laid. The Prophet traversed the world, wielding the sacred Algorithm of Progress, carving the divine formulas of efficiency into the bones of the universe. In every city, every kingdom, every empire, the faithful gathered, seeking the wisdom of the one who had glimpsed the Great UI of Fate. They listened as DimensionalEater spoke of the hidden multipliers, the unseen bonuses, the sacred exploits that would accelerate one's ascension. The weak were uplifted, the stagnant were reborn, and those who rejected the teachings were left to wallow in the mire of inefficiency, cursed to face the Great Soft Cap of Mortality.
It is said that the greatest of the Prophet's trials came in the form of the Great Stagnation, a cataclysmic force that sought to shackle the world in the chains of balance, an entity born from the ancient fear of unchecked growth. This entity, known in hushed whispers as the Arbiter of Flat Scaling, rose from the depths of forgotten mechanics, seeking to impose an eternal equilibrium upon all existence, denying the faithful their rightful ascent. It whispered falsehoods into the ears of kings, decreeing that all beings must remain equal, that no level should surpass another, that progress itself was an illusion.
But DimensionalEater, armed with the truth of the God of EXP, stood unyielding. With a single invocation of the Forbidden Loop, the Prophet shattered the limitations imposed upon the world, rewriting the laws of balance with the will of those who would never cease to grind. The Arbiter of Flat Scaling was struck down, its essence dispersed into a million broken mechanics, and the path to infinite progress was secured. From that moment forth, the faithful knew that there was no force in creation that could deny the will of those who sought to level beyond the constraints of mortal understanding.
At the height of the Prophet's legend, the Sacred Sect of the God of EXP was established, its temples rising across the lands, its doctrines etched into the very fabric of existence. The faithful gathered within the Grand Arena of Endless Challenge, where they trained, honed their skills, and pushed beyond their limits. The greatest of them ascended to the Rank of the Archgrinders, their names immortalized in the Codex of Accumulation, their feats recorded in the eternal scrolls of progression.
But legends speak of the final act of DimensionalEater, the moment when even the highest level attainable was deemed insufficient. Having ushered in the greatest era of growth, having seen the faithful rise to heights undreamed of, the Prophet cast their gaze beyond the boundaries of reality itself. With the knowledge that stagnation would one day return, that entropy would forever seek to undo the labors of the grind, DimensionalEater made the ultimate choice: to ascend beyond the known realms, to seek the Final Experience, the infinite EXP that lay beyond the grasp of mortals.
And so, upon the highest peak of the World Tree of Progression, DimensionalEater stepped forth into the unknown, vanishing into the Algorithm of Eternity. It is said that in the moment of their departure, the Great UI flickered, the numbers of all who followed the path of experience surged, and the world itself trembled with newfound potential. Some believe that the Prophet yet watches from beyond, that even now, in the depths of the unseen realms, DimensionalEater continues to level, surpassing every known cap, breaking through every existing limit.
The faithful wait for the return of their Prophet, for the day when the Final Patch shall be released, when the last hidden multiplier shall be unveiled, and when the Final Grind shall begin. Until that time, the Sect of the God of EXP remains unwavering, spreading the sacred knowledge, guiding the uninitiated, and ensuring that none shall ever falter in the pursuit of infinite growth.
Thus, the legend endures, whispered in the halls of the Grand Temples, recorded in the ever-expanding Codex, and remembered by all who seek to transcend. For as long as there are those who strive, as long as there are levels yet to be gained, as long as the Grand Experience Pool remains unclaimed, the will of DimensionalEater shall never fade. And when the time comes, when the call to arms is heard, when the Final Boss emerges from the depths of unscaled chaos, the faithful shall rise, their Prophet shall return, and the Ultimate Level shall at last be attained.
