This is something I had to do for math class a few months ago. Might as well upload it, as it's pretty lulzy.
Mearth: A world where everything is purely mathematical. The sunrise, the sunset, the shift of the moon and stars, the ever changing seasons, everything was laid down by equations the gods formulated in the very beginning of existence. In Mearth, one’s ability to survive depended on their mathematical prowess. Building, acrobatic, magical, even physical and combat skills depended on the being’s numerical processing power.
Mearth was a harsh world; for hundreds of millennia, the 4 racial groups, Humans, Dwarves, Elves and Greenfolk, fought for their own survival. After the casualties climbed into the millions for every side, the war reached a stalemate, and all of the races prayed to the gods for victory. And one day, the gods gave them an answer. Mathis, King of the Gods, Lord of all Math, decreed: “Whichever race can first find the Golden Ratio, where a:b =b:a+b, shall gain control of the MathHammer, and none other.”
But the MathHammer was not a weapon, no, but it was the greatest tool a mortal could ever wield. It was capable of creating anything given the correct materials and a small fraction of the time it would to build by any other tools. The clash of weapons was replaced with the scribbling of writing devices and the clunking of abaci as each race rushed to find the Golden Ratio.
The Dwarven King, Thresnik the Tripler, personally found the Golden Ratio himself and presented it on the temple altar of Mathis. Mathis looked down from his heavenly throne high above the mortals, nodded his divine head and turned the blessed paper on which the Golden Ratio was inscribed into the MathHammer. Thresnik used the MathHammer to build his capital city’s defences to the point at which the entire Greenfolk army could not penetrate its outer walls.
The Emperor of All Humanity, Aerith Mattic, realized that his chances of ever gaining control of the MathHammer were gone, and that his only hope was to make an alliance with the Dwarves, despite his xenophobia. He sent an ambassador to Thresnik, offering an eternal alliance. Thresnik first scoffed at the offer, for Dwarves are just a xenophobic as Humans. But then he saw how close the Human mathematicians had come to beating him to the Golden Ratio; indeed, had he took 2 days longer to find it, it would be he offering an alliance to Aerith! Realizing that Humans could still be a dangerous enemy, he accepted the offer, and the races thrived together.
The Elves, who had always thought that they were the smartest of the 4 racial groups, were shocked when it was the Dwarves, not them, that Mathis handed the mighty MathHammer to. Algeysia, Queen of the Elves (later derogatively nicknamed ‘Algae Bra’ by the Humans), sent a messenger to Aerith with a letter offering a military alliance to crush the Dwarves. This letter and the messenger’s severed head were sent to Thresnik as a sign of Aerith’s loyalty. Unable to ally with the Humans, unwilling to ally with the Greenfolk, the Elves slipped away to the Islands of Lust, planning to increase their number and amass their armies in secret.
The Greenfolk were enraged. They claimed that the gods hated them, and had given the Dwarves the MathHammer out of favouritism. Abandoning the gods, they began to worship demonic entities. These demonic entities strengthened the Greenfolk, but ultimately put the MathHammer out of their reach.
It has been 3 generations since the MathHammer fell into the hands of Thresnik the Tripler. The Greenfolk constantly siege the cities of Humans and Dwarves, and the Elves have made their return to the battlefield. With the struggle to survive growing more difficult by the day, the newly crowned Emperor of All Humanity, Pascal Pythagoras, prayed to Mathis for help. And Mathis answered: “I shall create a second MathHammer, and bestow it upon Humanity when I am provided the exact value of pi.”
At that point, the mathematicians had been able to find a thousand digits of pi, but it was not enough for the Great Mathis. Human soldiers and mercenaries valiantly held the line, assisted by Dwarven troops…….
And so it begins…….
