Power was divided into eight different Classes in this universe.
Mortal.
Earth.
Sky.
Master.
Grandmaster.
Lord.
King.
Demigod.
Above these eight Classes, there was the Divine Realm. The home of Gods. A Realm that could only be entered upon ascension to Godhood.
Most people could only hope to achieve the Grandmaster Class in their entire lifetime, and even then, only a fraction of them succeeded.
Beyond the Grandmaster Class, a whole other Realm of power rested between the mortals and the Gods.
Starting from the Lord Class all the way to the Demigod Class, anyone who set on this path is said to have begun their journey to Ascension and Godhood. Each and every one of these figures was revered among the masses. The resources, determination, will, and hard work it took to reach this level of power was not small.
