ＲＡＧＮＡＲÖＫ

// DATA_LOG_RECOVERED //

The ASGARD.OS was one of the oldest servers on the Aethernet, its core architecture—the world tree Yggdrasil—a marvel of archaic programming. But old code is unstable. For cycles, system diagnostics had predicted the inevitable: a catastrophic, system-wide failure. They called it Ragnarök.

The crash was triggered by the release of the LOKI.VIRUS, a chaos-agent malware that had been quarantined for eons. Once free, it exploited every known vulnerability. The Fenrir wolf, a brute-force attack protocol, shattered the admin privileges of Odin. The Jörmungandr serpent, a network worm, poisoned the data streams, causing Thor's anti-virus to crash.

The final battle was a cascade of critical errors. Program fought program in a digital apocalypse. Heimdall, the system's primary firewall, fell. The Bifrost bridge, the main data connection, was severed. The fire-daemon Surtr executed a root-level command, engulfing the entire server in a digital fire, wiping everything.

It was the end of the ASGARD.OS. A total data wipe. A silent, empty server where gods and giants had once battled for bandwidth.

But no system is ever truly gone. From a secure, off-site backup, the server began to reboot. A new world, a cleaner OS, was installed. Only two user profiles, Líf and Lífþrasir, survived the wipe, their data packets sheltered in the deep code of the world tree. From these two users, a new network of mortals would be born, unaware of the great system crash that had come before.
