NEW INTRODUCTORY

#### **Overview**:

The **WORLD SYSTEM** has multiple layers of progression for both warriors and their beasts. The leveling system is influenced by combat experience, the rank of enemies defeated, realm achievements, and bloodline abilities. In this version, we've expanded on how beasts evolve and the connection between bloodlines, with both warriors and their beasts benefiting from this unique system.

### **Experience, Rank, and Stat Growth**:

1. **Warrior Rank Progression**:

- As warriors grow stronger, they progress through a series of ranks based on their achievements, defeating stronger opponents, and unlocking realms.

- **For every Small Realm achievement**: Your stats (strength, agility, endurance, etc.) increase by **x2**.

- **For every Major Realm achievement**: Your stats increase by **x6**.

- **Bloodline Enhancements**: Each bloodline has its own rank, which determines how much the stats of a warrior or their beast increase:

- **F Rank Bloodline**: +x2 to stats.

- **E Rank Bloodline**: +x4 to stats.

- **D Rank Bloodline**: +x6 to stats.

- **C Rank Bloodline**: +x8 to stats.

- **B Rank Bloodline**: +x10 to stats.

- **A Rank Bloodline**: +x15 to stats.

- **S Rank Bloodline**: +x20 to stats.

- **SS Rank Bloodline**: +x30 to stats.

- **SSS Rank Bloodline**: +x40 to stats.

- **EX Rank Bloodline**: +x60 to stats (rarer and more powerful bloodlines).

### **Beast Evolution Mechanics**:

1. **Evolution of Beasts**:

- Beasts, like their warriors, follow a progression system, evolving from one form to another as they increase in rank. Beasts of **E rank and above** have a **unique evolution method**.

- **Beast Evolution Process**:

- Beasts must meet specific conditions, either through combat, training, special artifacts, or rituals, to evolve.

- **Small Evolution**: This occurs after a beast achieves enough experience and growth. It increases their overall strength and ability, usually at the **E to D rank** stage.

- **Major Evolution**: When a beast evolves from a **C rank or higher**, the transformation is more profound, leading to drastic increases in combat prowess, new abilities, and enhanced forms. These occur from **C rank onward**.

2. **Beast Evolution Stats**:

- Every **beast evolution** provides a **stat increase** depending on the beast's rank.

- Beasts that are **E rank** or above can undergo **evolution** by using items, rare materials, or rituals.

- The **evolution method** for a beast is directly influenced by the **bloodline of the beast**. A beast of the same **bloodline rank** will receive an **x2 increase** to everything (attack, defense, speed, abilities, etc.) on top of the regular rank increase.

**Example**:

- A **C rank beast** with a **C rank bloodline** can evolve into a **B rank beast**, receiving **x2 enhancements** to stats based on the bloodline's influence.

- A **B rank beast** with an **A rank bloodline** may evolve into an **A rank beast**, with their stats being **multiplied by 2** due to the bloodline enhancement.

### **Beast Rank and Evolution Mechanics**:

#### **Beast Evolution Tiers**:

1. **E Rank to D Rank**:

- Requires basic combat experience and may use minor evolution items (e.g., essence crystals, growth potions).

- Stat boost from evolution is modest, typically around **x2** for the first evolution.

2. **D Rank to C Rank**:

- Requires advanced experience and special rituals or items such as **Sacred Beads** or **Aether Shards**.

- Stat boost from evolution is more significant, around **x4** for C rank evolutions.

3. **C Rank to B Rank**:

- Requires specific items or environments for evolution (e.g., **Elder Beaststones**, **Ritual of Storms**).

- Stat increase is **x6** for a typical B rank evolution, and the beast may gain a new set of abilities or powers.

4. **B Rank to A Rank**:

- Needs **Ancient Beaststones**, **Bloodline Sacrifices**, or specific spiritual trials.

- This marks a major shift in power and grants **x8** to all stats.

- Beasts may also gain new forms, such as **elemental affinities**, **new elemental powers**, or an ability to wield **Ancient Magic**.

5. **A Rank to S Rank**:

- Requires rare evolution items, **beast realms**, or even a **Divine Beast Ritual**.

- At **S rank**, the beast reaches an entirely new level of power, capable of controlling powerful abilities.

- Stat increase is **x10**.

- S rank beasts are almost legendary, capable of abilities that can change the course of battle.

6. **S Rank to SS Rank**:

- Requires **Legendary Artifacts**, **Cursed Beads**, or other high-level items for evolution.

- Beasts evolve into **SS rank** when they unlock their **true form**, and the stat increase becomes **x15**.

- At this stage, their powers are unimaginable, often rivaling or exceeding their master's abilities.

7. **SS Rank to EX Rank**:

- The highest possible evolution, requiring **Divine Beaststones**, **Eldritch Realms**, or **Bloodline Fusions** to achieve.

- At **EX rank**, the beast becomes a nearly god-like entity.

- Their powers are vast, with abilities such as **Time Manipulation**, **World Shattering Attacks**, or **Interdimensional Travel**.

- The stat increase is **x20** at this rank.

### **Bloodline System for Beasts**:

- **Bloodline Evolution for Beasts** follows a similar structure to warriors, with each beast having a **unique bloodline** that affects their abilities and evolution.

- **F Rank Bloodline**: +x2 to stats, and access to basic elemental abilities.

- **E Rank Bloodline**: +x4 to stats, access to **secondary elemental affinities** (e.g., Fire + Earth, Water + Ice).

- **D Rank Bloodline**: +x6 to stats, access to **advanced elemental magic** or **beast-specific powers**.

- **C Rank Bloodline**: +x8 to stats, access to **legendary abilities**, such as **summoning storms** or **creating barriers**.

- **B Rank Bloodline**: +x10 to stats, grants access to **supreme forms** or **devastating attacks** that can alter the battlefield.

- **A Rank Bloodline**: +x15 to stats, access to **god-like powers** or the ability to control vast elements or energies.

- **S Rank Bloodline**: +x20 to stats, grants the ability to **manipulate reality** or control cosmic powers.

- **SS Rank Bloodline**: +x30 to stats, capable of **ascension** into divine forms or **unlocking omnipotent abilities**.

- **SSS Rank Bloodline**: +x40 to stats, grants the ability to challenge gods or break the laws of nature.

- **EX Rank Bloodline**: +x60 to stats, capable of controlling **time and space** or manipulating entire worlds.

### **Integrating into the Story**:

The power system encourages growth and struggle—both for the characters and their beasts. Characters like **Erythion Draeven** and **Rynna Valerique** must constantly push their limits and evolve, both through their rank progression and by unlocking their beasts' potential.

The complexity of **beast evolution** and the **bloodline enhancements** add layers to the story. The characters will discover hidden secrets about their beasts' origins, unlocking paths to powerful evolutions. These discoveries will drive the narrative forward, creating opportunities for powerful confrontations and alliances based on the shared bloodlines or rank-tiered evolution systems.

### **Final Thoughts**:

With the **Sovereign System**, battles become more than just physical confrontations—they are tests of strategy, growth, and the deep connection between warriors and beasts. The progression system offers a dynamic journey of discovery, where every battle leads to new challenges, and every victory brings the possibility of achieving true mastery.
