Comment any info you want added going into the story
Question marks on this page mean that the information will be learned throughout the novel so no one accidentally gets spoiled. Some info here will also not be entirely complete for the same reason.
The magic system of this novel is different than regular ones (or at least I tried to make it different)
While mana is still a concept, it is not what fuels magic. In its place, there is Vis. Vis functions the same as mana for the most part, but there are no cores like there are mana cores. Instead, there are Vis gates (this will be talked about within the first 5 chapters).
Ranks- The standard G-SSS system seemed too boring, let me know if you like this or want me to change it. Also, to make this easier people will not go around saying their full ranks.
No, "I am at the pinnacle of Gate Ignition rank hue hue hue," rather, they would just say Ignition rank.
Early Ranks-
Gate Awakening – The first appearance of the Vis Gate, allowing one to access and manipulate Vis. The age of awakening can vary but is usually between the ages of 10 and 12.
Gate Spark– A stage where the Vis flows more freely but is still weak, appears as sparks flickering across one's gate.
Gate Embers– Strength increases as Vis stabilizes, preparing the user for greater power. Appears as the gate cracking and glowing like embers.
Gate Ignition – A threshold where Vis begins to burn brighter, leading to greater mastery. It is at this stage where the Gate itself is lit entirely ablaze. This stage can only be completed once one's entire Gate is completely burned to ash.
Mid Ranks-
Gate Rebuilding– The gate is rebuilt, larger, and more powerful than before allowing more Vis to be harnessed. It is at this stage that the user can "sense" the conditions needed to open their Gate later on
Gate Expansion– The user's Vis refines and strengthens, the growth of Vis allows for the gate to grow in power and size.
Gate Opening- The first opening of one's gate. This is a very crucial point in one's life, as this is their only chance to naturally cross into the next rank. The gate will not stay open forever.
Gate Integration – The user's body and Vis start to synchronize as one. The Gate will allow the user to cross past it temporarily.
Gate Unity– A crucial stage before breaking through into higher realms of power. At this point, the user will travel farther past their Gate, seeking their untapped power. Once it is found, the Gate and user will fuse, the Gate acting as a conduit for the user's full potential.
High Ranks-
Veil Rank- The "Separation" between those fated to be among the strongest, and those meant to be below them. Technically not really a high rank, but the point between the absolute peak of mid-rank and high-rank.
Dawn Rank-???(Low-Mid-High-Peak)
Rebirth Rank-???
Pinnacle Ranks-
Twilight-???(Low-Mid-High-Peak)
???(Low-Mid-High)
