According to [[Ansem the Wise]], unlike other worlds in the [[Universe of Kingdom Hearts|''Kingdom Hearts'' universe]], it is not a world of light or dark, but a world of "fiction", that exists on the other side.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory'', Ansem the Wise:''' "If I am correct, then this "other side" of our world from which voices cannot reach must be a place outside of our reality.

It is a modern, urban world based on the real-life city of Tokyo, primarily its [[Real-world locations#Shibuya|Shibuya district]] with some distinct variations and differences. Quadratum is the main setting of ''[[Verum Rex]]'', a fictional video game that exists in [[Toy Box]]. | |||

The only part of Quadratum extensively glimpsed so far is a crosswalk located in front of a building with "104" displayed. Quadratum is populated by clothing and tech shops and retailers. In the distance, many high-rise buildings and skyscrapers extend out towards the horizon. Curiously, despite the presence of many automobiles, the city appears to be almost entirely abandoned and desolate. | The only part of Quadratum extensively glimpsed so far is a crosswalk located in front of a building with "104" displayed.

===Before ''Kingdom Hearts χ''=== | |||
Sometime before the [[Keyblade War]], the Master of Masters and {{c|Darkness|character}} discussed the existence - or lack thereof - of a fictional universe that is found outside reality. The Master admitted that the discovery of such an inconceivable reality caught even him off-guard, and compared it to something one step beyond the afterlife - worlds where neither darkness nor light could exist, where neither eyes nor voice could reach. | |||
===Before ''Kingdom Hearts III''=== | |||
Yozora and the original persona of the [[Nameless Star]] were inhabitants of Quadratum. | |||
The Master of Masters would later come to reside in this world, as neither light nor darkness would be able to follow him, while he waits for his plans to unfold. | |||
During his time as an apprentice under [[Ansem]], [[Terra-Xehanort]] researched the worlds on the other side of reality, where the world of Quadratum is also present. | |||

After Sora defeats Yozora, Yozora fades away into light and Sora ends up in the daytime version of The Final World. Meanwhile, Yozora is woken up from his slumber in the back seat of a car by his driver, who asks him, "Impressive, is it not?" Sora and Yozora both wonder whether or not their encounter was real or just a weird dream. Sora then states that none of this makes any sense to him. | After Sora defeats Yozora, Yozora fades away into light and Sora ends up in the daytime version of The Final World.

Sora wakes up and is greeted by [[Strelitzia]], who explains to him that he is in Quadratum. She describes it as being similar to an "afterlife" for them both. As a ball of darkness forms in the street and a gigantic creature emerges from it, Sora rushes to the street to fight it, all while being observed by two figures in [[black coat]]s.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2DSEkYFRh8 Kingdom Hearts 20th Anniversary Announcement Trailer]</ref> | |||
