Why don't you go ahead and rest up? After all I'm sure you're tired from your long journey. It must have taken you a lot of time to arrive here.""...""Who am I?" Cifer let out an amused snort at the question. "I'm nobody important. Just someone running a tavern for tired people like yourself.""..."The tavern is filled with dozens of shelves and novels, all holding tomes around the secrets of the world."Oh? You've noticed my books, have you? Are you a reader? I guess you'd have to be to make it this far, wouldn't you? Why don't you take a look? It's all for free. Who knows.

Humans, Supers, Monsters, Lords, and Rulers
***
In the beginning, there was only humanity. They lived and they died on a planet known as Earth. This planet resided within the Milky Way galaxy. Humans developed many great things, but eventually all things do come to an end.The Four Lords were said to have arrived, and with it they brought an era of change. They would do battle with the entity known as the Shadow, and in a flash, planet Earth would be forever changed. It found itself suddenly being filled with creatures known as Supers. And as they say, the rest is history.But what are Supers? What are the Four Lords? And where do the other lifeforms fit into this? Well, allow me to explain.Humans: Humans still rule planet Earth even thousands of years later. Despite being wiped out time and time again and forced to live in a world with gods, humanity has somehow managed to remain standing at the top. They have no power, they have no skill, but boy do they seem to have an issue with giving up.Supers: There were two who first started. Two Supers that went by the names Cifer and Mana. They were brother and sister. Born after the death of the Shadow and the first four Lords. Supers look like humans, but they are far from normal. All Supers have their own unique superpower, a supernatural ability that defies logic. Supers can be as weak as a normal human or even rival the gods themselves. All Supers possess two souls. A human soul and a powered soul. It is through the use of this powered soul that they can use their power, and their bodies can keep growing well past their limits. Supers age at a slower rate than humans, and some can live for many years past their prime.Inverting: Inverting is an art some Supers can use. It allows them to switch which soul is in the driver's seat, or in some cases, draw out the energy of their other soul half. This can change and alter their power in different ways, but if it's not done right, it could kill or harm the Super.Monsters: A monster is created when a corrupted soul is injected into a human or Super. All newly created souls come out corrupted and glitched, and upon being placed in a body, they devour and destroy the human soul within the body and then fuse with the remaining Super soul, if there is one. All humans given a new soul become insane mad beasts unable to control their power and go feral, attacking all. Most Supers also tend to fall into this category; however, a very small percentage of people are able to keep their sanity for the most part and keep control of their mind and body despite the fact that they lost their human soul. All four leaders of the Emperor's army were monsters that could still function.Giant Monsters: When a monster's body goes fully out of control and the new soul within them changes and transforms, that monster will grow and change, becoming larger and larger in a never-ending cycle of expansion and power. They will keep getting stronger until they eventually become so big that the Victorian has no choice but to kill them. Many of these creatures still live beneath the planet or in the waters, waiting for the day to strike as their mind grows mad and their flesh gets larger.The Four Lords: The first ever Supers, though they aren't actually Supers. They are something else. Something more. They were before the Supers and well beyond them. The four Lords wield godlike power, and unlike other Supers, the Ego, or soul half within them, is actually alive and able to think and feel. They are meant to work together, but they can also take over the host. A Lord can live for hundreds of times longer than a Super; most tend to be killed off due to the situation of their era, but it is thought Lords could actually be immortal.Battle Mode: All Lords possess a Battle Mode, something that greatly boosts their power and allows them to go beyond the form of most Supers. It is around a ten-times boost of power and can give them new powers. Their hair and eyes change color, and the voice within them, the one that belongs to the Lord, grows and speaks to them more often.True Lord Mode: When a Lord Inverts and allows the other soul within to take over, they become the true form. One of the first ever four Lords. This greatly enhances them well beyond anything else on this planet, granting them power that even surpasses the Beast. They are walking gods, able to tear reality apart and shake the entire universe.The Tallest Wave: The first Lord of the Sea and Depth. They are a monster that lurks beneath the water.The Prettiest Flower: The first Lord of the Land and Life. Despite her beauty, she is covered in thorns filled with venom.The Loudest Thunder: The First Lord of the Sky and Weather. Someone who can see everything everywhere all at once constantly.The Brightest Star: The First Lord of the Sun and Cosmos. The hope of the universe and the strongest entity across all realities, they were able to defeat and slay even the Shadow.Rulers: When the Shadow came to planet Earth, it did battle with the Four Lords. In the end, both sides defeated one another and reached a state of death. As the shadow died, its power splintered and broke. The Rulers are reflections of the Lords. Powerful warriors fueled by the darkness that is the Shadow. They can negate death and bring themselves back to life no matter how many times they are killed and slain.The Ruler of the Void and Dark—the Devil.The Ruler of Death and Rebirth—The Angel.The Ruler of Creation and Destruction—The Giant.The Ruler of Ash and Ruin—The God.
