[This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the novel's world. While the details unfold gradually throughout the story, this section consolidates them for convenient reference. Please note that it may contain minor spoilers.]

-General Information-

● RANKERS

A ranker is an individual who possesses a soul ore, a unique substance that allows them to harness and manipulate mantra energy. The presence of a soul ore is what sets rankers apart from regular humans. Rankers can cultivate and refine their abilities through the use of this energy, enabling them to perform extraordinary feats, whether through physical prowess or magical capabilities.

● RANKING

Please, I know some readers will get confused about the ranking and rankers lol. They are not the same, the ranking is likely the power system for the individuals called rankers. In this world, power is structured into ascending stages called Ranks. There are two stages, the early stage and the ascension stage. Each stage enhances an individual's abilities and mantra energy. The early stages comprises of five levels, only after unlocking all these levels can a ranker truly rank-up.

•Bronze Star early ranker

•Silver Star early ranker

•Platinum Star early ranker

•Gold Star late ranker

•Diamond Star late ranker

Once a Ranker achieves all these five stars, they combine all the stars unlocked to aid them in rebirth for the Ascension stage. It also comprises of five Ranks but it is difficult to rank up.

•Common Rank [requires ten stars to ascend]

•Imperium Rank [requires thirty stars to ascend]

•Mystic Rank [requires eighty stars to ascend]

•Ancient Rank [requires one-fifty stars to ascend]

•Semi-Divine Rank [requires five hundred stars to achieve true godhood]

● ASTRAL PLUMES

Astral Plumes are ethereal, ribbon-like trails of energy that allow Rankers at the Imperium Rank and above to fly. These plumes resemble flowing, feather-like strands of light that shimmer in celestial colors based on the rankers aura

When activated, Astral Plumes enhance agility and speed but require continuous energy, making prolonged use tiring. They symbolize high status and are personalized to reflect each Ranker's unique aura. As Rankers advance, the plumes become more intense and may gain additional shapes or even combat capabilities, like energy shields or projectiles, marking them as powerful and elite.

● MANTRA

In this world, Mantra is a vital, mystical energy that fuels the very existence of life, it also serves as the energy that fuels the abilities of Rankers. It powers everything from combat skills to magical spells, acting as the essence behind a Ranker's strength, endurance, and special powers. Stored and regulated by the Soul Ore within each Ranker, mantra can be harnessed, accumulated, and manipulated to achieve extraordinary feats. Its potency grows with the Ranker's level, and mastery over mantra energy signifies both power and status in the world.

● SOUL-ORE

Soul Ore is a unique crystal-like substance that allows Rankers to channel mantra energy, enabling abilities such as magic and enhanced combat skills. Growing opposite the heart, soul ore is essential for becoming a Ranker. There are three types:

•Green Soul Ore: Found in non-physical combat class users like the mage, cleric etc, it also enables the ranker to manipulate mantra on a higher level which helps them cast powerful spells, healing because it has high energy capacity.

•Blue Soul Ore: Common in physical combat type classes such as warrior, Monk, enhancers etc. It also provides a constant energy release for enhanced physical strength.

•Golden Soul Ore: Extremely rare, combining the strengths of both, granting limitless energy and unparalleled power, marking the bearer as a legendary figure.

● ERYTHRIAN PANTHEON

The Erythrians are powerful gods who rule over various aspects of existence, each embodying a unique domain such as creation, war, nature, fate, and destruction. Long ago, they overthrew a race of ancient, colossal beings known as the Primogenitors—entities of raw elemental power that shaped the world's foundations and locked away beings know as the Primordials. Rising from the chaos of that great battle, the Erythrians established themselves as supreme beings, bringing order and defining the laws of nature, magic, and mortality.

The Erythrians rule from their divine realm, overseeing mortals and enforcing their will across the world. Mortals revere or fear them, as the gods can bestow blessings or curses. Despite their godly unity, the Erythrians have complex rivalries, alliances, and unique personalities, shaping both divine and mortal realms with their power and influence.

● THE MORTAL REALM

The mortal realms consist of six mortal races that live on earth. Aside from humans who inhabit the human continent, there are other five races out there in the vast world. These are the Phoenix-Elf race, Dragon-dwarf kind, Demi-beasts, Barbarian race and the fronst-giant race. Together, these makes up the mortal races on earth, although there are several billions outside of earth in the vast novel lore, but our main focus would be on earth.

● MYTHS

In this world, Myths are ancient, horrifying beasts that have survived from a time long past, their power undiminished by the ages. These creatures are embodiments of destruction, causing chaos and disaster wherever they roam. They inhabit various realms—land, air, and seas—each with their own catastrophic influence. Some ravage the earth with their immense size, while others soar through the skies, spreading storms and terror. Those that dwell in the seas bring devastation to coastal regions, drowning entire civilizations. These Myths are symbols of primal chaos, their presence a harbinger of ruin and despair.

● PRIMOGENITORS

The Primogenitors are ancient behemoth second generation deities, powerful beings embodying the raw, elemental forces of the omniverse. They existed long before the gods, shaping the world and its primal energies. Each Primogenitor governs a distinct aspect of existence, like fire, water, or stone, making them fundamental to the world's natural order. But their divine abilities were striped away by the third generation deities (the Erythrians), and now they are seen as mere titans roaming the mortal world in despair.

These entities include beings such as the Primogenitor of Fire and Destruction, the Stars and Constellations, Dreams and Prophecy, and the Harvest and Decay, each embodying a core facet of reality and influencing the world from behind the scenes.

● THE PRIMORDIALS

The Primordials are the ancient, primal forces that emerged at the dawn of existence, embodying the very essence of the Omniverse, they are known as the first generation deities. Each represents a fundamental aspect like Chaos, Darkness, Night, Life, or Necessity shaping the cosmos and reality itself. Unlike gods or Primogenitors, the Primordials are beyond mortal comprehension, vast and enigmatic, influencing existence on a cosmic scale. Although they were also tamed and imprisoned on existential level by the third generation deities, their presence is felt in every part of creation, but their freedom is limited and unseen.

● THE OUTER-BEINGS

The Outer Beings are celestial entities existing on a higher plane beyond even the gods and Primogenitors. These beings embody cosmic powers and transcend mortal understanding, governing realms of reality that lie above the known world. They include angels, true demons, Asuras, and other timeless forces, each with roles and powers incomprehensible to lesser beings.

At the pinnacle of these beings stands Thronian, the All-Father, creator of the world and architect of existence itself. Thronian shaped the cosmos and laid down the fundamental laws of creation, remaining an elusive yet omnipresent force. The Outer Beings act as guardians, enforcers, and agents of Thronian's will, intervening only in the most dire events when the very fabric of existence is at risk. Their power is beyond mortal and lesser divines reach, and their presence inspires awe, fear, and reverence among all who sense it, no matter the status.

● S.T.E.E.L

The Society of Tactical Experts and Elite Legionnaires (S.T.E.E.L.) is the largest military organization in the world, known for its cutting-edge technology, S.T.E.E.L. is essential to both defense and innovation. They manufacture cyber-mechanical horses and animal-based constructs, blending advanced technology with organic designs. S.T.E.E.L. also produces ancient tech powered by mantra energy, which fuels magical vehicles, energy guns, and other potent weaponry. Their creations support both everyday society and the elite warriors fighting to protect the world, making S.T.E.E.L. a crucial force in maintaining power and security on Earth.

● CLASSES

The class system defines individuals' roles, skills, and societal status, with each class offering unique powers, strengths, and abilities essential for survival, combat, and control. Society places a strong emphasis on these classes, often measuring a person's worth and rank by the strength of their class and its potential for advancement.

● CLASS AWAKENING

Class transformation/awakening is the evolution of a Ranker's abilities and identity within their class, marked by dramatic visual changes, enhanced powers, and new abilities. It symbolizes mastery and growth, often tied to pivotal moments in the story, with transformations unique to each class's theme (e.g., warriors gaining energy armor, mages becoming elemental avatars, Beast Tamers fusing with their beast to gain their abilities). It's the ultimate expression of a character's progression and connection to their class/ role.

-STRUCTURE OF THE C.I.D OMNIVERSE-

● THE OMINVERSE AND I'TS ROLES

The Omniverse: The Infinite Weave of Thronian

The Omniverse is a 30-dimensional structure, a boundless and interconnected web of realities and dimensions, each layer existing independently but interwoven by universal laws dictated by Thronian, the creator, and his Five Organs. These five organs, representing Creation, Destruction, Order, Chaos, and Balance, exist outside the Omniverse, forming the framework upon which all dimensions are built.

-Structure of the Omniverse-

● DIMENSION AND SCALE

Planets: Range in size from stars to entire galaxies. Some serve as worlds for mortal and divine beings, while others are barren but infused with raw cosmic energy.

Galaxies: Each galaxy is the size of a typical universe, containing planets, stars, and black holes that are themselves hubs of dimensional activity.

Universes: Each universe encompasses countless galaxies and dimensions, hosting its own laws of physics and magic.

Timelines: Every timeline has its own independent past, present, and future, preventing any paradoxes or retroactive changes. Time is linear within each timeline but varies in flow between dimensions.

Multiverses: Groups of universes linked by shared foundational principles.

2. Foundational Dimensions (Constant Across Timelines)

Xerathar: The one and only realm of the dead, existing simultaneously in all timelines. It is a sprawling, corrupted plane ruled by Althryssia (Lady of the Underworld) and Krypharoth (Ferryman of Souls).

Heaven (Ælyndor): The ancient, eternal plane of light and creation, a sanctuary where the purest energies reside. Ruled by Thyraxos (Herald of Light).

Naraka: The eternal hell-like dimension of punishment and judgment, a fiery abyss overseen by Zayrathos (Harbinger of Destruction) and the True Demons.
