Friends World is a parallel world that exists alongside Maple World within the same dimension. Friends World is extremely similar to the real-world Earth, including locations such as Seoul. However, Friends World is also populated by characters from Maple World and Grandis, each of whom live parallel lives to their counterparts, such as Cygnus being the young heiress to the Shinsoo Corporation who manages Shinsoo International Private School. Though Friends World and Maple World were divided by a dimensional barrier, the sealing of Maple World's three Transcendents allowed for the barrier to slowly weaken until Elwin, an apprentice of Grendel the Really Old, inadvertently shattered the barrier. As a result, the magical energies of Maple World began flooding into Friends World, resulting in the creation of dark monsters and certain people awakening with magical abilities.
Unbeknownst to Elwin, the White Mage of Friends World had secretly conspired to open a portal between Maple World and Friends World, utilizing Kinesis - the first person from Friends World to gain magic from Maple World - as a catalyst to fuse their two worlds into one. As a result, massive sinkholes began appearing across Friends World, pulling portions of their world into Maple World. As a result, the convergence of Friends World, Maple World, and Grandis resulted in the creation of the Arcane River at the hands of the Black Mage, with a city from Friends World being pulled into the Arcane River due to this convergence. With the dimensional collapse of their world worsening, as well as more people developing magical abilities, Kinesis and his friends hope to create heroes who can stand up to the White Mage and stop him from carrying out his his mysterious plan.
Shinsoo International School can be accessed via the Maple Guide, as well as via the Closet House in Henesys. Seoul Main Street can only be accessed by Kinesis characters by using the Return skill to teleport back to his hideout.

Trivia
- Before the Heroes of Maple story revamp in the Dreamer Update, there was significant ambiguity in regard to whether Tynerum or Friends World was the third dimension created by the Overseers alongside Maple World and Grandis. However, the Heroes of Maple revamp explicitly confirmed that Tynerum was the third dimension, while Friends World was a parallel world that exists within the same dimension as Maple World.
