Ranks of Awakening and Monsters
. The world had come up with a system to categorize both:
Ranks of Awakened Humans:
· F-Rank (Novice): The lowest rank, usually consisting of individuals who can barely control their abilities. They may only tame weak or low-tier monsters. Their powers are limited and often not enough to survive in dangerous regions.
· E-Rank (Apprentice): These individuals are more skilled than F-rankers and are capable of taming intermediate-tier monsters. They have better control over their abilities and may have a few unique traits or enhancements.
· D-Rank (Trainee): A solid rank where tamers can handle moderately powerful monsters. D-rankers are typically sent on missions to combat small-scale monster invasions and handle medium-tier threats.
· C-Rank (Adept): Adept tamers can manage mid-tier monsters and may begin to take on more dangerous missions. Their bond with their monsters is solid, and they can begin to form teams of varied monsters.
· B-Rank (Expert): These individuals are experts in the art of taming and controlling beasts. They may handle high-tier monsters, and their bonds with their creatures allow them to unlock advanced evolution paths and skills.
· A-Rank (Master): Masters of their craft, A-rank tamers can control powerful monsters and lead entire teams of high-tier creatures. They are respected members of society and are often dispatched for the most dangerous missions.
· S-Rank (Legendary): S-rankers are the highest-ranking tamers, capable of controlling legendary and god-tier monsters. Their abilities are nearly unmatched, and they are capable of achieving extraordinary feats. Few individuals are able to awaken an S-level talent, and those who do are often seen as national treasures.
· SSS-Rank (Mythic): A unique and virtually unknown level. SSS-rankers are so rare that there is little information about them. These individuals possess incredible talents, ones that defy the natural order and allow them to accomplish feats considered impossible for even A-rankers. The exact nature of the SSS rank remains a mystery, even to the world's most experienced tamers and scholars.
Ranks of Monsters:
· Bronze Rank (Low-tier): These monsters are the most common, typically found in the wild rifts that appear in cities and towns. They may be powerful enough to cause trouble but are usually manageable for low-level tamers. Monsters at this rank are usually smaller or less intelligent.
· Silver Rank (Mid-tier): More powerful and dangerous, Silver-ranked monsters often require experienced tamers to subdue them. They may have advanced abilities or stronger combat skills, and are typically found in deeper, more dangerous rifts.
· Gold Rank (High-tier): These monsters are fearsome, often possessing multiple abilities and exhibiting a high level of intelligence. Gold-ranked monsters can be used as powerful companions or weapons, but they are also harder to tame and control.
· Platinum Rank (Legendary): Platinum-ranked monsters are legendary creatures that possess unique powers and abilities. These monsters are capable of fighting entire armies and are highly sought after by powerful tamers. They often have complex evolution paths and require specialized knowledge to tame.
· Diamond Rank (God-tier): God-tier monsters are nearly impossible to tame, possessing powers that could shape the very fabric of reality. Only the most elite tamers and organizations possess such creatures, and these beasts are often used as living weapons for catastrophic events.
· Celestial Rank (Divine): The rarest of all monsters, Celestial-ranked creatures are considered divine entities. They have abilities that can transcend time, space, and even the fabric of reality. These beings are often tied to the rifts themselves and may be the key to unlocking the true nature of the rifts.

The Role of Equipment, Potions, and Crystal Cores
While tamers relied heavily on their beasts and abilities, the world beyond the rifts also relied on equipment, potions, and crystal cores to survive and thrive.
Equipment:
· Low-tier Equipment (Star Rank 1): Basic weapons and armor crafted for beginners. These are typically made from easily accessible materials, such as iron or copper, and offer limited protection. They are suitable for those in the F-E ranks.
· Mid-tier Equipment (Star Rank 2-4): Better-crafted equipment made from rarer materials, such as steel, enchanted ores, and monster materials. These are often used by tamers in the D-B ranks and offer better defense and offensive capabilities.
· High-tier Equipment (Star Rank 5-7): Crafted from rare monster materials, often imbued with magic or elemental properties. These are highly sought after by tamers in the A-S ranks and are capable of enhancing both the user's power and their beasts' abilities.
· Peak-tier Equipment (Star Rank 8-10): Legendary gear forged by master craftsmen, often requiring rare materials and advanced techniques. These are worn by the elite—SSS-rank tamers and powerful organizations—offering unparalleled protection and enhancements.
Potions:
· Healing Potions: The most common potions, used to restore health during or after battle. They range from basic potions for small wounds to advanced potions capable of healing even the gravest injuries.
· Mana Potions: Used to restore mana, which is essential for tamers who rely on their own abilities or magic. Higher-quality potions provide larger amounts of mana.
· Stat-Boosting Potions: These potions temporarily enhance the tamer's stats—strength, agility, or intelligence. They are often used in high-stakes battles or to help tamers level up more quickly.
Crystal Cores:
Crystal cores are harvested from monsters after they are defeated. These cores hold immense power and are used to enhance monsters and tamers alike. By using a core, a tamer can increase the abilities of their monsters, making them stronger or unlocking new powers. Cores also serve as a valuable currency in the monster-hunting and taming world. Higher-ranked monsters yield more powerful cores, which can be used to evolve or even bond with new monsters.
