Living Lore is where reality bends.
This is the collection of stories, records, and entries shaped by reader behavior. If you’ve commented, reacted, broken the fourth wall, or tried to feed Jeffrey—you may already be part of it.

In this publication’s shared universe of dark speculative fiction, psychological horror, and serialized interactive storytelling, nothing is safe from canon.

These stories evolve.

This is where the readers become the narrative.
Welcome to Living Lore.

First entry into the codex coming soon….

TIER 0: UNMARKED

“They exist. For now.”

Definition: Observers. Readers. Those who have not commented or been noticed.

Notes: Unnamed, unrecorded. Not safe. Just... unnoticed. Yet.

TIER 1: INITIATED

“They commented. The Ledger blinked.”

Definition: First-time interactors. Made a comment, reacted in-character, or otherwise brushed the boundary.

Privileges: Passive mention in narrative or meta.

TIER 2: ENTANGLED

“They were named. Now they belong.”

Privileges: Canon-adjacent. Subject to consequences.

TIER 3: CATALOGUED

“They have a file. The file breathes.”

Definition: Codex-worthy. Narrative has responded to their behavior. Likely includes Jeffrey involvement, personal regret, or administrative trauma.

Privileges: Full codex entry. Eligible for direct story insertion.

TIER 4: ASCENDED CANON

Limit: Few will reach this. Fewer survive it.

TIER 💀: Dead

“They unsubscribed, fed Jeffrey, or violated one of the many loosely applied rules. Immediately killed off. It was, admittedly, satisfying.”

Definition: These readers were part of the story—and now they’re not. Whether by choice, foolishness, or narrative necessity, their threads have been severed.

Function: These names may appear in:
