Timeline of the Magical Vacation series

"The universe came into being a very long time ago, but the history of the universe can be condensed into a single moment. This moment is when the star of hope is born. The universe’s long history has included conflict, joy, suffering, and sadness. And only a hero who could bear the force of all these in a moment can bring about a new beginning."

Beginning of time

c. 10 billion years ago

Brownies create the Material Plane of the universe from the big bang, which is personified as the queen of light.
On the Material Plane, the queen of light creates the planets of the Baklava solar system. Nova, the light planet, is situated inside the sun at the very center of the universe.
As new concepts are produced in the universe, new planes of existence and dimensions based on these concepts begin overlapping one another. Planes also produce spirits of their respective attributes.

Before Magical Vacation

The first man and woman are born from a song of warmth, as are the land and the heavens. Their singing creates a world of wind and the people of wind.
The people of earth are born when the wind people pass on, and the world of wind becomes solid. The wind people continue to watch over the land in death.
The world is flooded by water filled with blood, wiping out the earth people and giving life to people of water.
The people of water raise the sunken land, causing underground fire and wavering winds to renew all live. Their power is inherited by the people of wood, who pronounce themselves the first "true people."
A wood person named Vermicelli becomes the planet's ruler, and as his kin look to the starry skies, the sun emits five streams of light that give power to the planets.
Vermicelli enters the sun to meet the queen of light on Nova. They share a song, but Vermicelli is overcome with shame and flees to a cave to chant the song of the beginning. Sensing his own death, Vermicelli begins to sing the song of death, which wreaks havoc among Baklava's planets. People from each planet sing their own melody to produce the planet of hope, Kovomaka, which the queen of light creates life for and sends to the dark corners of space.

Several hundred million years ago

An orbiting neutron star called Shadra is drawn into the Baklava system. It experiences a peak in energy, causing a new sun to form around it.
Nova's sun absorbs Shadra's sun. They occupy parallel dimensions, periodically switching places due to fluctuations of power. Once the two suns merge, Phunnel Pit, Glissini Caves, and the Starway are spontaneously formed. They bridge the dimensional gap between Nova and Shadra by harnessing planetary energy.
A hole connecting the dimensions connects the dimensions, but it is sealed shut by an obstruction of plasma and matter.

Several thousands of years ago

A great civilization flourishes on Erd, but for unknown reasons, it collapses.
Water people on Cassia quarry rocks from Nata de Coco to build the Holy Water Pyramid.

c. 12,000 years ago

The Espresso civilization migrate from Puffoon to Erd, effectively replacing the previous society. Doctor Calzone cannot find a gate to Nova from the resident yogart gurus, so he joins forces with Craaken to construct a plant where self-sustaining robots are manufactured.
Calzone invites Applepie to Erd, as he wants to study on her PSI powers to twist space.
The first iteration of Calzone's robot AI program, Ribbit Ribbit Alpha, is completed. A Beta version is developed shortly after, which can manipulate psionic energy, but tensions quickly rise between the Espressos and Erd's natives.
Around four years later, the brownies declare war against the Espressos. Robots operating on Ribbit Ribbit Beta are ordered to fight back against the nine stone giants, resulting in the annihilation of all but one of them: Tektos.
Amidst the chaos, the robots defy the Espressos and gummify them to fuel their battery cores.
Several robots are somehow launched off Erd and scattered throughout the universe.
Craaken retreats to Cassia, where he opens Ambergris Preparatory School in hopes of spreading knowledge of the universe. He predicts that in the distant future, the sun will be devoured by a worm nestled within the planet Shadra, and the universe will perish with it. Afterwards, the worm will birth a new sun, and in turn, produce a new universe. This prophecy is preserved in several copies of a grimoire entitled the Book of the Darned.
In the depths of Shishkebab Cavern on Razen, Craaken designs the Stone Stage, which uses solar energy and magic to open a gate to Nova's dimension.

Thousands of years ago

The first colonies of felins and wolks are founded on the Wind Plane and Wood Plane respectively. As time passes, they migrate and establish settlements on other planes.
The puppets of Torūna Village finish constructing the Benakoncha Ruins and raise it into the sky.
Cassia enters a deadly ice age, but the fire otter torches a cup of water to keep the otters of Port Pescato warm. Once the ice age ends, the otters build a cauldron in Holy Water Pyramid to perform honorary fire rituals.
Twigadamus, a magician of the noble House Lakeside, loses his physical form and transfers his soul into a random stick. He spends the rest of his life as a clairvoyant in Honey Mint.

Hundreds of years ago

A war breaks out on the Light Plane, to which the Archangels of Light and Twelve Knights of Antiquity are summoned. They fight with weapons forged at Condimen Tower.
The ancestors of the Nighthawk family, who live in a country west of Kovomaka Kingdom, abandon their practice of necromancy.

c. 900 years ago

c. 700 years ago

Vespucci's treasure is found by explorers who murder each other. Their restless souls create a vortex in the cave, linking the Material Plane to the Light Plane.

c. 300 years ago

Biscotti, a master magician from Kovomaka, meets with the enigma king Yūvekku after becoming intrigued by the enigmas' unique abilities. Yūvekku fuses with Biscotti, who brings magic to the Material Plane. He later establishes Will-o'-Wisp Academy, a school where youths can study magic. His intention is to have them learn magic, while also keeping them away from the enigmas for their own safety.
Kerurendu takes control of the enigma tribe in Yūvekku's absence and declares war against Kovomaka Kingdom. However, Biscotti defeats Kerurendu by using Yūvekku's power as leverage. Kerurendu's defeat ruins his prestige, making it so the lesser enigmas no longer obey him. He opts to continually reincarnate in order to attain a more powerful form and covertly overthrow Kovomaka Kingdom.

c. 200 years ago

The age of antiquity comes to an end on the Light Plane. Rēmittsu Palace is abandoned, later becoming a den for monsters.
Mousse falls off a cliff and dies, to the dismay of his brother, Tiramisu.
Gyuuhi Ogura's body is mysteriously taken, so he borrows the body of an inchworm and becomes a guide on the Dark Plane.
