The Power System of Fragment
Explained by Alex
---
Aether
Aether is the living energy flowing through all existence within Fragment.
It exists in the air, living beings, dimensions, memories, and even emotions.
Unlike normal energy, Aether possesses intent.
It responds to:
- emotion
- willpower
- instinct
- mental state
- destiny
The stronger the will, the stronger the synchronization with Aether.
This is why emotionally unstable individuals often become extremely powerful… or catastrophically dangerous.
Aether can strengthen:
- the body
- the mind
- weapons
- elemental abilities
- dimensions themselves
Every awakened human manipulates Aether differently depending on their:
- attribute
- personality
- soul resonance
- core type
---
Void Resonance
Void Resonance is the similar to aether but not exactly
Where Aether represents existence, harmony, and evolution…
Void Resonance represents:
- collapse
- corruption
- instability
- entropy
- dimensional decay
- destruction
Void energy often originates from:
- failed Collapses
- dimensional fractures
- corrupted entities
- dead dimensions
- ancient sealed beings
- emotion (feelings of hatred mostly)
Humans exposed to Void Resonance may:
- mutate
- lose sanity
- gain corrupted abilities
- become Hollowborn
- evolve into monsters
However…
Rare individuals can survive Void synchronization.
Those individuals are considered anomalies.
And anomalies are feared by gods, demons, and even the System itself.

Resonance Core
Every awakened being possesses a Resonance Core.
The Core is the spiritual center where Aether gathers and evolves.
It is usually located near the heart or soul-space.
The stronger the Core becomes:
- the more Aether it can contain
- the greater synchronization becomes
- the more reality begins responding to the user
A damaged Core can:
- cripple an awakened permanently
- corrupt abilities
- destabilize emotions
- kill the user
---
Core Types
Elemental Core
Controls natural elements.
Examples:
- fire
- lightning
- ice
- wind
Most common core type.
---
Sovereign Core
A rare Core capable of influencing:
- territories
- minds
- pressure
- large-scale battles
Often found in future leaders or monsters.
---
Abyssal Core
A corrupted Core born from Void Resonance.
Extremely dangerous.
Users often become unstable over time.
---
Divine Core
A mythical Core tied to higher laws and ancient authorities.
Very few beings possess one.
---
Fragmented Core
An unstable Core type often found in anomalies.
These users evolve unpredictably.
The System struggles to categorize them.
Arthur and Sunny both possess signs of Fragmented evolution.
---
Human Evolution System
"The Path of Eternity"
Humanity evolves by climbing the Path of Eternity.
Each stage represents a deeper synchronization with Aether and reality itself.

The Core awakens.
The individual begins sensing Aether.
---

Beings at this level transcend cycles, fate, and ordinary existence itself.
At this point…
Reality merely tolerates them.
---

Monsters evolve differently than humans.
Where humanity climbs upward…
Beasts descend deeper into corruption.

Entire regions become corrupted.
---

Some have existed for thousands of years.
---
8 — Voidborn
Existences partially detached from reality.
Traditional attacks become nearly useless.
---

The final stage.
Civilizations disappear when these beings awaken.
Some are capable of ending dimensions entirely.
If one fully awakens…
The System itself begins preparing for extinction.
---
Final Truth
Power in Fragment is not fair.
The stronger someone becomes:
- the more isolated they become
- the more unstable reality becomes around them
- the more attention they attract
From monsters.
From gods.
From demons.
And from things far older than all of them.
