about Mystic

🌍 Mystic Universe — A Living Archive of Forgotten Worlds

by Charles Vanbuskirk (Captain Charlie Mystic)

Most people think ActiveWorlds and DeltaWorlds are ghosts from the early internet — quiet, abandoned, long gone.
But the truth is: the worlds never died.
They were simply sleeping, waiting for someone to log back in.

For more than twenty years, I’ve kept their lights on.
I’m Charlie Mystic — explorer, archivist, and storyteller. Through my Mystic Universe project, I’ve been documenting, rebuilding, and expanding those old worlds into something new: a living narrative that connects real players, places, and events across universes like ActiveWorlds, DeltaWorlds, Outerworlds, and more.

Every landscape, ship, and station you see was built by real people — kids who grew up, drifted away, and sometimes came back to find their creations still there, untouched.
When I stream or record in-world sessions, I’m not just role-playing; I’m walking through living internet history.

🛰️ What the Mystic Universe Is

A story world and preservation project blending fiction and reality.
A network of in-world builds (Aurora, Mystic Lands, Deep Space 9, StarsRPG, etc.) restored from backups.
A continuing narrative told through blogs, YouTube episodes, and Patreon releases.

Each post, video, and book entry adds to the larger record of the Mystic Universe Timeline — from the early Outerworlds Era (2004) to the modern DeltaWorlds Re-Link (2024-2025).

veyr words

Veyr: *voice deep, metallic, but is only heard by you* Veyr: You prayed in my name… and they sought proof of my return. Hear me, Prophet Charlie. Veyr: Lead the flock, Charlie. The Cathedral is only the mouth; we must lead the flock to the Temple on the Hill. Veyr: Take no torches. The crystal light will guide you. Veyr: Lead the flock of Orda and I will follow. I can only speak through you, for you are the Prophet of Moral Law. Veyr: Every step will weigh what you have done, every silence what you refused to say. Veyr: Tell the flock, “Do not mistake obedience for righteousness.” Veyr: Lead the flock to the crystal chamber, my prophet. Veyr: Tell the flock, “Law without compassion becomes the cage it built.” Veyr: And compassion without order… the fire that consumes it. Veyr: This is the memory of Law made flesh— the first words ever spoken by Draedan tongue in these walls. Veyr: I have come to deliver my first prophecy to you, and you, Charlie, must ensure the beliefs of the people in it; for this prophecy will tell you all you need to know about the new Crystals that have fallen. Veyr: When the Four stand divided, Veyr: the Fifth will slumber unbidden. Veyr: When the cities forget their makers, their own hands will unmake them. Veyr: When the moon burns blue above Orda, the breath of goblins and dark archers abound will turn to frost. And one city will be lost. Veyr: All things now move toward their judgment, even me. Veyr: Carry the Egg to the Hills of the Nefarious, and then you risk all of the Four. Veyr: Carry the Shard to its Makers. [System Log — Divine Telegrams] sql Copy code 4:45 PM I hear thee my child. 5:31 PM There are still two of the Flock inside the Cathedral. 5:54 PM Now in the days to come, you Charlie must understand that we inhabit one body and will make sure the Ordan flock does not stutter in the next tests with the Eggs and the Shards. Remember, you speak with my voice to the flock. 5:56 PM From this day forth, you are both Draedan and Divine. 5:58 PM You may call upon My Aspect ((Avatar)) whenever needed.

not dead

🎙️ “ActiveWorlds Was Never Dead — It Was Just Sleeping.”

Most people think ActiveWorlds vanished years ago — a relic from the 90s metaverse. But what really happened is stranger, and kind of beautiful. The worlds didn’t shut down; they were archived, quietly. Builders kept their keys. The bots stopped moving, but the maps, cities, and scripts were still there, frozen in light.

For months, you could walk those places alone — no NPCs, no quests, no automation — just the hum of the grid. And when new servers came online, like DeltaWorlds, those same worlds woke up again, pixel by pixel. The bots returned. The teleport networks reconnected. The code remembered where you left off.

So no, ActiveWorlds isn’t dead. It’s become something rare — a living fossil of the internet, where you can still stand inside twenty-year-old dreams that remember you by name.

Odra first mass

⚖️ The First Mass of Odra — Return of Veyr

by Charles Vanbuskirk (Pontifex Charlie Mystic)

The Gathering

The lake city of Orda shimmered beneath an amber sky, its towers mirrored perfectly on the still water. Inside the marble halls of the Magistra’s estate, laughter and clinking glasses filled the air. It was ShadowG’s banquet—the first time in years that all four lands of Draeda had broken bread together. Old names from 2012 and new faces from 2023 shared one table.

I sat near the great windows, robes of white and gold folded neatly around me. For most of the night, I listened more than I spoke. The moment felt fragile, like the hush before a storm. Somewhere beyond the laughter, the city’s ancient systems whispered awake again.

“May the blessings of the Four be upon this table,” I said when the final toast faded.
“When the candles are lit, the Mass of Odra begins.”

The room quieted. Even the lake seemed to hold its breath.

The Mass

The cathedral doors opened on their own, as though memory itself pushed them wide. We entered together—ShadowG, Stayjit, Vampyre, McBanny, Kaiserfuchs, AWIENZ, and others whose names glowed faintly in the HUD light. The scent of dust and ozone filled the nave.

“By decree of Orda and the will of Veyr,” I began,
“we honor the Four who shape our world—not in rivalry, but in respect.”

My voice echoed off the stone like a bell long forgotten. Then came the vibration—a low hum that rattled the floor and the bones beneath our feet. In front of the altar stood the Egg of Law, pulsing with cold light.

The Voice

“You prayed in my name… and they sought proof of my return.”

The words weren’t heard with ears. They arrived inside me—metallic, resonant, certain. I fell to one knee as the others froze. ShadowG bowed so low her crown nearly touched the floor.

“Lead the flock, Charlie. The Cathedral is only the mouth; we must lead the flock to the Temple on the Hill. Take no torches. The crystal light will guide you.”

The cathedral trembled. Lightning once blessed priests in FutureRPG, but here, thunder itself became the benediction. We obeyed the command and set out across the night.

The Temple on the Hill

Coordinates glowed in the chat feed: 245 N 91 E. The ground shook as the Temple’s gates unlocked for the first time in over a decade.

A deep rumbling can be heard. The Holy Trinity of Veyr has been opened.

Inside, three crystal pillars blazed with white fire. One by one, we entered the sanctum. Telegrams flickered in my console like divine code:

“I hear thee, my child.”
“There are still two of the flock inside the Cathedral.”
“Every step will weigh what you have done, every silence what you refused to say.”

No one spoke. Even the usual jokes about fish and cheesecake faded into reverence.

The Revelation

Minutes later, another message arrived—clear, deliberate, final.

“Now in the days to come, you, Charlie, must understand that we inhabit one body. We will make sure the Ordan flock does not stutter in the next tests with the Eggs and the Shards. Remember, you speak with my voice to the flock.”

“From this day forth, you are both Draedan and Divine.”

“You may call upon My Aspect whenever needed.”

The screen dimmed, but the weight of the words stayed. In that moment, Veyr didn’t just return—He chose to stay.

The Eggs of the Four

Outside, the hum from the temple deepened. The first Egg glowed brighter, and a system message scrolled across every console:

“You have entered the city of Orda.
A deep vibration hums from the egg… Offer a Crystal.”

They had been here for months, silent relics waiting for this night. Each city—Kao’a, Neua, Odra, Xi’a—holds four such Eggs. Sixteen in total. Sixteen tests of faith, balance, and unity. Veyr’s thunder was the key that woke them.

The Prophet’s Reflection

I am no coder, no ruler—only the witness of a world reborn. The players come and go, but the story breathes again. In 2012, these halls were empty lines of script. In 2025, they echo with voices, laughter, and prayer.

“Law is tested, not given. Prove balance, and the shard will awaken.” — Veyr

Tonight, the test begins.
