Ranks of the Awakened

——————————————

Humans and other races are called Awakened. Their power levels are divided according to the number of Stars they possess.

From the First to the Fourth Star, only the accumulation of mana is required in order to advance without major difficulties.

From the Fifth to the Sixth Star, the real change begins.

To advance to the Fifth Star, Body Reconstruction is required. At this point, Awakened individuals may awaken a special physique, regardless of their preparations or knowledge.

The different physiques are as follows:

The first two physiques can be awakened through certain Body Reform or Body Reconstruction procedures using only mana.

The Transcendent Body and the Divine Body require unique materials or ingredients.

Now then, advancing to Six Stars requires unlocking the Superior Mind. Think of it as a Trait. In addition, it is also necessary to unlock or master the Zone of Isolation.

To advance to Seven Stars, the Superior Mind must be integrated with the Awakened individual and the Zone of Isolation.

To advance to Eight Stars, the Superior Mind and the Zone of Isolation must be assimilated, and a Domain must be awakened or created.

Domains are divided into five levels. Once Level 5 is reached, it becomes possible to advance to Nine Stars.

To advance to Nine Stars, complete mastery over the Attribute is required. Once fully mastered, the Awakened individual must infuse it into their own body, as if absorbing the Attribute and integrating it with their Domain.

To advance to Ten Stars, you must find your own Path throughout your life. Without a Path, it is impossible to reach Ten Stars. Once it is found, you must absorb as much Yin Yang Energy as possible, also known as the energy of Heaven and Earth, using both energies for the advancement.

To advance to Eleven Stars… well, I'll leave this blank for now. I'll only say that a Ritual of Divinity or an Apotheosis ritual is required.

✓ An extra detail:

[5 Stars] — [Reformation]

[6 Stars] — [Integration]

[7 Stars] — [Assimilation]

[8 Stars] — [Infusion]

[9 Stars] — [Primordial]

[10 Stars] — [Transcendence]

[11 Stars] — [???]

Each name represents the result obtained after the advancement.

Trait Mastery and Trait Ranks

——————————————————————

Only possess Masteries, while do not.

The different stages of Mastery are as follows:

Now then, in the Status Window, the tab where only "Trait" appears does not specify how they differ from one another.

Each Trait is divided into three different Rarities:

Heart's Strength

————————————

The heart of every Awakened individual can awaken a power known as . This is neither a Trait nor a skill.

You could think of it as a Bloodline, but it is not that either.

Heart's Strength has two particular characteristics.

The first is that the power of the heart may not directly benefit its owner. One example would be Adel's Heart's Strength, which can only heal others through his blood, yet Adel himself gains no benefit from it.

The second is the complete opposite. Depending on the awakened Heart's Strength, it may increase your power or grant abilities that benefit you in different ways.

Item Ranks

————————————

Magic Items, Relics, and Artifacts are divided into different ranks:

Potion and Elixir Quality

————————————————

Potions and Elixirs are divided into several ranks known as .

Yes, there are quite a lot of qualities for Potions and Elixirs, so whether you memorize them or not is up to you.

Class Ranks

————————————

Villains, monsters, Wild Beasts, Demonic Beasts, and Demons are classified through the system.

This system is equivalent to the Star system, and its ranks go from Class 1 to Class 10. There is no Class 11.

That would be equivalent to becoming a Lord of the Abyss.

Worlds and Planes

————————————

In this story, there are a total of three worlds:

The Racial World, where the story mainly takes place; the Abyss World; and the Dream World.

The Racial World is divided into five continents. So far, only three continents have been mentioned up to Chapter 100:

Sacred Continent.

Floating Continent or Floating Islands.

Phlegra Continent. (which would be equivalent to Antarctica.)

Astral Continent.

Ashfall Continent.

At first glance, they seem like only five continents, but the Racial World is far larger. I was inspired by the map of Hunter x Hunter, so you can already imagine what exists beyond the seas surrounding the Five Continents.

As for the Abyss World, explaining it would be too much of a spoiler, so I'll leave that for later.

The Dream World is visited by Adel starting from Chapters 39/40.

I have barely explained anything about this world.

However, the Dream World is divided into Regions and Tribes. It is not a physical world, but a metaphysical one, and it is also practically infinite.

Now, regarding the Planes, so far I have only mentioned the Dark Plane. Besides it, there are three other Planes that will be explored after approximately Chapter 200.

Ranks of Spirits, Fairies, Summons, and Elementals

——————————————————————

Spirits, Fairies, Summons, and Elementals possess ranks similar to those of Humans and Villains.

Their ranks go from 1 to 9, with Rank 9 being the lowest and Rank 1 being the highest.

Fairies are divided into different statuses, just like Spirits.

The statuses of Fairies are as follows:

The statuses of Spirits are as follows:

Meanwhile, Elementals do not possess statuses. Their differences are determined solely by their ranks.

Mana Stages

————————————

Each Star possesses four stages through which the power of two Awakened individuals with the same number of Stars can be differentiated.

Progenitors

———————————

✓ The Progenitors are the creators of the Eight Specialties that exist.

Specialties are simply the different alignments such as Mage, Warlock, Swordsman, etc.

These are the titles and names that will eventually be revealed throughout the story of the novel, although that will be during the Second Part.

Progenitors classified as being on the side of "Good" within the Holy Empire.

Lord of Sword, Evans. (Name revealed in Chapter 77/76)

Lady of the Beast, ???

Progenitor Mage, ???

Elemental Progenitor, ???

Progenitors classified as being on the side of "Evil" within the Holy Empire.

Lord of the Dead, ???

Primordial Witch, ???

Commander of Darkness, ???

Lich, ???

"Good" Specialties...

"Evil" Specialties...

And that would be everything. It is a fairly simple power system without too many complications.
