<h4>Chapter -2: Realms\Ranks\Levels\Energies\Laws(SPOILER ALERT!)</h4>
BE WARNED ? THESE COULD BE SPOILERS.
These are the realms of power, ranks Energies and information about Laws that would be frequently used for the earlier parts of the story, Exnation of some abilities and Laws Would Also Be Here. It is quite long though.
Firstly, the calendar should be addressed;
A general calendar is one thatsts ten thousand years, after this, another general calendar begins. The 50th general calendar means that it is the 50th set of 10,000 years since this calendar system was adopted.
As for the months and days of the week, those are normal.
7 days a week and 12 months a year for mosts or universes, if a or universe has a different system, it would be stated.
Also, our Main Character was Born on the 31st of December, Year 700 of the 50th General Calendar.
Secondly, the realms of power/strength. These are the realms of power/existence or the level of existence that will be often referred to.
Note that;
(Each Realm/Level of existence has three stages;
Inferior,
Intermediate,
Superior. )
(Destructive power levels stated only refer to their full power and they would/might be worn out or exhausted after using attacks of such a scale, this also applies to higher realms.
This also means that they can deal enough damage to harm beings or existences with the equivalent level of durability or defences.
Beings with creation powers can also create as much as their destructive equivalents can.)
(The ways/methods of increasing realm/level of existence also apply to the higher realms.
One can increase in realm via absorbing energy cores of monsters or other existences of this level or higher. Can also increase through training and gaining battle experience. Other unique methods also exist.)
From Lowest To Highest;
<strong>Bronze Realm</strong> - Weakest Realm/Level of Existence: You would find most human civilians and civilians of other weaker races here. The default state of most races.
<strong>Silver Realm</strong> - Next Level after the Bronze realm, Takes about five average Bronze Realms to Defeat 1 average Silver.
<strong>Gold Realm</strong> - Where the strongest Experts of most NORMAL worlds are, Skilled Swordsmen or magicians, belong here too. The average Gold Realm is equivalent to 10 silvers.
<strong>Master Realm -</strong> The level of Master Swordsmen or Great Mages, above the peak of human limits. Children of some races could be at this level from birth, depending on the parents or the race. It ismon among non-human races like devils, giants etc. Can take up to tens of Gold Realms to defeat a Master. Can wreck entire towns on their own.
<strong>Grand Master Realm</strong> - At this stage, most have unlocked a unique ability or skill depending on the type of energy they use. Mages on this level are called Arch Mages. Easily able to single-handedly destroy single or multiple cities depending on the stage.
<strong>Epic Realm</strong> - Here, one has a higher level of existence and energy level, possible skill or unique ability upgrades, notmon though. The destructive power of thebat-oriented existences in this realm scales from destroying mountains to small inds.
<strong>Legendary Realm</strong> - At this stage, one begins to shed their mortality, preparing to ascend into a Higher/Superior Existence. Destructive power ranges between destroyingrge mountains, inds or small countries.
<strong>Sovereign Realm</strong> - This is the peak of ''Mortality'', at this point, normal realm increment methods would not work, one needs to prove their qualification to break through their mortality before they can go to the next rank.
This can be done by performing a great Feat or achieving a breakthrough in their skills or techniques. An example is a swordsman creating their own sword technique or their own Ultimate skill.
Another example is an Alchemist creating a high levelled potion or a cksmith creating a Legendary sword they could not previously create. (Something Leagues above their current skillset) Here, one can easily bring down arge country single-handedly. Sinking small continents is within the realm of possibility.
<strong>Transcendent Realm</strong> - At this point, one is effectively not considered a ''mortal'' anymore, one''s soul and body are upgraded to a higher level. This is the transition stage between lower and higher existences.
Most gain an increased Lifespan, higher than what the other lesser realms can grant. (E.g., an elf that normally lives 500-1000 years, bes able to live up to 5000 years.) This would increase as one goes above to higher realms. Depending on the circumstances one may gain a near-infinite lifespan.
Destructive power range: Large countries at the very least. Scales up to Continent level, and by the Superior Stage, the majority ofbat-oriented Transcendents can sink multiple continents.
<strong>Demigod Realm</strong> - Also called Half-deity realm. (not to be confused with half-god race members) From this point, one is considered a higher existence.
This is the stage that beginner higher existences are, in order to get to this stage one has to gain an authority in at least one basic rankw. This is usually gotten at around 50%prehension but depending on the circumstances, it may be earlier orter.
Destructive power range: Even the weakest can sink a continent without much effort. Obliterating a moon is considered normal and turning a small into a dead rock is within the realm of possibility, though this is mostly for nonstandard existences.
{All existences in this realm and above gain some sort of protectiveyer or barrier around their souls made up of an energy type closely rted to them.
For example; a god would have their protectiveyer made of divinity, or a demon would have theirs made of demonic energy.
The number ofyers increases as one advances in realm. i.e.; A Demigod realm would have oneyer, a low-tier deity would have twoyers, and so on and so forth.)
<strong>Lower Tier (Rank) Deity Realm</strong> - This is the base level of ''gods'' and Pantheon Entities in the series. Any being in this realm isparable to a lower-rank god.
One needs the equivalent authority (50% Low-rank Law Comprehension) to reach this stage. It is also possible to have multiple authorities.
In some pantheons, beings on this level are usually in charge of a world or a number of worlds, depending on their stage.
Destructive power range: Here, being able to destroys is the mainstay. Depending on their stage, beings of this realm can dish out ster or star system levels of destruction, though thetter may be umon.
<strong>Medium Tier (Rank) Deity Realm</strong> - This is the level of mid-ranked gods and their equivalents in pantheons of other races.
Same with the other stages, one needs the equivalent authority to be in this realm (50% Mid rank Law Comprehension). gods and entities on this level are usually in charge of a varying number of sr or star systems depending on their stage.
This level has arge power gap between the previous and the next, as such, most beings end up spending dozens to hundreds of millennia in this realm.
The destructive power of beings in this realm scales from ster level to multiple star systems. In this case, ''multiple'' star systems, mean from one or two to hundreds, thousands or even millions.
<strong>High Tier (Rank) Deity Realm</strong> - This is the level of high-ranked gods and main entities of a pantheon. Same with the other stages, one needs the equivalent authority to be in this realm (50% High-rank Law Comprehension).
Examples of beings on this level include the twelve Olympians, the Great gods of Romersk, or the Divines of oblivion.
Destructive power range: At least, a gxy. The energy within the energy cores of existences on this level simply just cannot be below the level required to end an entire gxy of at least 100,000 light years.
Depending on their stage, beings on this tier are capable of creating and/or destroying from one to a dozen gxies.
<strong>Monarch Realm</strong> - This is the level of most leaders of pantheons. The masters of Universes are usually on this level, it is possible to have others on this level even if they are not masters of pantheons or universes. One does not necessarily have to be the master of a universe just because they are in this realm. One needs sufficientprehension of at least onew of Monarch Rank and the equivalent authority.
The power possessed by beings on this level is capable of creating and/or destroying multiple gxies, (at least a few dozen) when the space between celestial bodies is taken into ount, as opposed to merely the matter epassed by them.
Depending on the stage, they can do this to thousands of gxies, millions or even billions though this is mostly seen among superior stages.
This stage also has arge power gap between the previous and the next.
Surpassing this stage is impossible without at least attaining partial<strong> Cosmic Superiority.</strong>
<strong>Primogenial Realm</strong> - As the name implies, this realm is the ''first'' realm after attaining some form of Cosmic Superiority. Meaning the existence has to be at least a Sub-Cosmic being in order to reach this realm.
From here on, increasing one''s power with the usage of other energy types starts bing less effective.
However, this does not mean that using these energies in battle is less effective. The decrease in effectiveness only affects the speed at which they can be used to increase/cultivate one''s realm of existence.
<strong>Cosmic Energy</strong> best used or increasing the user''s realm of existence.
The destructive power level of beings in this realm is currently unknown at this point in the series, however, at the very least, they are capable of ''deleting'' all celestial bodies within a 3-D space covering an area of at least 50 billion light years.
<strong>Phantasmal? Realm</strong> - Not much is known about this realm, even it''s actual name. Only offhandedly mentioned at this point in the story.
<strong>Sage Realm </strong>- Not much is known about this realm, even it''s actual name. Only offhandedly mentioned at this point in the story.
<strong>Supreme Realm </strong>- Not much is known about this realm at this point in the story, just that they are capable of destroying universes with ease.
<strong>Grand Supreme Realm</strong> - Not much is known about this realm at this point in the story.
◇ ◇ ◇
<strong>Nonstandard</strong> <strong>Existences.</strong>
These are beings/existences who possess power and abilities that are at least a level higher than what beings in their realm of existence normally possess.
All Nonstandard Existences possess the capability to fight against beings at higher stages/realms.
For example, an Intermediate Stage Epic Realm Existence who possesses enough power to fight against an Inferior Stage Legendary.
Although they may possess this capability, this does not trante to them automatically gaining victory against their higher levelled foes, but such is usually the case.
Even if the Nonstandard existence is among the minority who do not attain victory inbat, merely battling beings entire realms or stages higher than themselves is already considered a great feat in itself.
◇ ◇ ◇
<strong>Cosmic Superiority.</strong>
First of all, it should be exined what Cosmic Energy is.
It is the most superior type of energy in the ''Cosmos'', basically all of existence.
One could say that the strength and vitality required for sustained activities in the Cosmos, is Cosmic Energy.
Cosmic energy is the life force that is existent any and everywhere. It is present in the cosmos, between the gxies, the molecules, within and outside of space and time.
This energy was also the energy that powered every gxy and universe in existence, in fact, their cores could be simply called giant orbs of highly condensed cosmic energy.
Like other energy types can be manipted, the same could be said about cosmic energy. However, most beings cannot even perceive the existence of cosmic energy, much less dare to dream about manipting it.
The majority do not even know it exists in the first ce!
In every corner of the Cosmos, there existed beings who were unaware of both its existence and what it did.
But there also existed those who were aware.
<strong>Sub-Cosmic Beings:</strong>
The beings that couldpletely perceive, and manipte ambient cosmic energy in their surroundings, were those known as ''<strong>Sub-Cosmic</strong>'' beings.
One could be Sub-Cosmic irrespective of their Existence Realm, however, bing Sub-cosmic was ''rare'', and honestly could be chalked up to ''luck'', ''chance'' or ''destiny''.
Sub-Cosmics could physically ''see'' cosmic energy, and it appears to be a multicoloured form of energy omnipresent in the surroundings.
Other characteristics of Sub-Cosmic beings besides their ability to perceive and manipte ambient cosmic energy included, but were not limited to:
Increased physical, spiritual and astral body parameters. Their parameters were increased to the level that theypletely surpassed others in the same stage/realm of existence.
They also receive the boon of elevated soul strength.
Lastly, they gain <strong>nigh-immortal</strong> physical bodies.
No matter how beaten battered and bruised they are, given time, their bodies would eventually heal by absorbing ambient cosmic energy.
Even if their bodies werepletely destroyed, they could reconstruct their bodies using ambient cosmic energies, however, the speed at which this happened varied.
If they were injured with high concentrations of energy or higher quality energy, their regeneration process would be slowed. If they were injured using cosmic energy, then it is possible for their regeneration to be negated.
Nevertheless, this still meant that killing a Sub-cosmic being was truly difficult, but this did not mean invincibility.
If the Sub-cosmic being was a mere transcendent and he/she offended a high-tier deity, the deity could snuff him/her out of existence before his/her body could even think about absorbing anything to heal!
<strong>Cosmic Beings</strong>:
As Sub-Cosmic beings could perceive and manipte ambient energies, Cosmic Beings were capable of doing the same.
In addition, they could also generate Cosmic Energy from the energy cores in their bodies.
The minimum threshold for bing a Cosmic being was the Low-tier Deity realm as any existence lower than this would simply not be able to withstand even the smallest possible amount of Cosmic Energy that a Cosmic Being''s body and Soul had.
Even nonstandard existences, Irregrs and/or Singrities were no exceptions to this.
Like their Sub-cosmic Counterparts, they also possess nigh-immortal physical bodies, along with increased parameters and ridiculously strong souls.
The protective energy barriers around their souls be mixed with cosmic energy, making them stronger.
Also, it is simply impossible for a true genuine Cosmic Being to be ''killed'' without the use of Cosmic Energy.
Granting them ''True Death'' was also extremely difficult, as the nigh immortality of their physical bodies also applied to their souls, along with the restrictions.
Cosmic Beings were also able to dominate the surrounding ambient cosmic energy and ce it under their control temporarily; an ability that gave them an edge over Sub Cosmic beings who could only use ambient cosmic energies.
Would be updated If any new information about cosmic beings is revealed.

Law Exnations,
Law of Causality- Thew of cause and effect. It has many roles in the series;
It is also thew that is responsible for making sure the system of every universe runs properly. It is aw that makes sure every being fulfils the role given to them by fate at a certain point in time.
It also prevents beings from finding out information they do not have the right to know.
Thisw has the duty of imposing restrictions/punishments on beings who break certain existential rules andws, as well as trying to bypass certain limitations. Do not that these existential rules andws change depending on the universe or one finds themselves on. Basically, what can be considered as not allowed on a Lower World, might not be restricted on a Higher or Prime World.
Thew of causality is responsible for preventing higher existences from carelessly descending into lower worlds/dimensions/nes of existence. This is due to the fact that some higher existences are strong enough that the amount of energy they emit is more than that world/dimension can handle which could cause its destruction.
For example, a monarch realm existence with energy levels that let them destroy hundreds of gxies, using their true bodies containing all that energy to descend on a small low-level.
The would obviously be unable to take the pressure of such an enormous amount of energy and be destroyed. Thus thew of causality prevents such situations from happening.
The Laws in the series have ranks like the realms, these are;
Basic Rank,
Lower Rank,
Middle Rank,
High Rank,
Monarch Rank.
Supreme.
Grand Supreme.
Any other ranks would be addedter.
Everyw has these ranks, i.e., thew of fire has a Basic Rank, a Lower Rank, and a Middle Rank and so on.
One can gain ess to aw toprehend it via various methods. The mostmon method is through the use ofw crystals.
Law crystals are crystals mostly formed by condensedw essence that contain the knowledge/information about a universalw and how it worked.
Comprehending the knowledge held within, grants one an authority over the power of thatw.
The information held withinw crystals is not meant to be understood immediately.
It is all over the ce and makes little sense, this is why one has to firstprehend aw before one can use it.
If the information made sense from the start, then anyone who picked up aw crystal might just gain an authority with no stress.
Comprehendingws is the method of gaining authorities, if one does not have an authority required for a certain realm, they cannot advance into that realm even though they may have strengthparable to those who do.
Thews must beprehended in order; one cannot attempt toprehend a Lower Rankw without firstprehending a Basic Rank first.
◇ ◇ ◇
Progenitors;
A progenitor is the first of every race and is the lifeline of that race. Upon the death of the progenitor, it is impossible for new members of that race to be born. This would eventually lead to that race going extinct.
That is how important progenitors are.
Thew of Causality does not approve of impersonating a progenitor. If one were to im to be a progenitor when not actually being one, they would receive a warning of some sort, if they did it a second time, the warning would be more fierce, they''d instinctively know that if they were to im such again, it would spell their death.
Naturally, the third time is the charm, at that point, it does not matter how strong you are, thew of Causality would act to end your life.
The progenitors have three main abilities,
Authority of the Progenitor- The abilities of this authority differs depending on the race. It has a passive that lets the progenitor possess most of the traits or affinities that members of their race could possibly have.
Race Command - This lets them control members of their race within its range of effect.
Race Creation - This allows them to create ancient and elder breeds of their race. There is a cooldown of 10,000 years for every ancient breed and 1000, for every elder breed.
Ancient and elder breeds are all connected to the progenitor that created them, allowing the progenitor to exert a level of control over them without using racemand.
◇ ◇ ◇
Higher and Lower Worlds;
When referring to higher and lower worlds/gxies etc. in the series, take note of this;
Higher worlds may also be called higher nes of existence, and in some cases, higher dimensions.
They are the worlds/gxies that are closer to the core of the universe that they are in. This means that they are affected by the energy given off by the core of their universe, increasing the ambient energies in them and making them stronger.
Beings from the lower existence nes would not be able to withstand the pressure from the number of ambient energies that are present in the higher nes/worlds.
The reason why higher existences are restricted from descending into lower worlds or nes casually without taking proper steps or restricting their power; is because the pressure given off due to the high energy levels of these beings would be too much for lower levelled worlds to take, damaging them and eventually resulting in their destruction.
The higher nes of existence are often called primary nes and the lower nes of existence are usually called secondary nes.
World Ranks;
Lower,
Middle,
High,
Prime,
Ancient/Apex.
Would be updated as the series goes on.
P.S: MC''s home world, Aeturn, is an Ancient/Apex World.
◇ ◇ ◇
Pantheons
A pantheon is the particr set of all gods of any individual polytheistic religion, mythology, or tradition.
This also applies to other races besides the god race.
A set of beings (mostly deities) that are responsible for ruling a certain universe are the members of that universe''s pantheon.
An example is the nobility of the Devildom of hell. Each of the nobles is a member of the pantheon.
Members of a pantheon are known as the entities of the pantheon.
The chief members of the pantheon (e.g. twelve Olympians) are called the main entities of the pantheon.
Each entity has a domain they rule over and they are stronger and receive various benefits in that domain or areas they dere as their domain.
E.g., Hades'' domain is the Underworld.
◇ ◇ ◇
Magic Tiering;
Magic, ether and every other energy that can be used to cast spells all have tiers.
So far, only Magic Tiers 1 to 8 have been used. If more are introduced then this auxiliary chapter would be updated.
Each Spell cast using this tiering system would have a particr pattern.
There would be a circle/ring which represents the flow of magic or the energy, a mark or crest in the centre representing the element of the magic and then there would be writing in some magic/ancient/runguage that describes the type of spell being invoked.
This is something that almost every spell cast would have. If there is a difference in the magic system of that universe or, it would be stated.
The more circles/rings a magic circle has, the higher the tier. So in a case where a phrase like:
''A three-ringed magic circle spread out...''
-is written, then that means that the magic circle is a Tier 3 magic circle.
Lastly, the realms in which it would be possible for one tofortably cast spells of the Tiers. While there may be exceptions to this, the norm is that one has to be in these realms or a range of realms to cast the corresponding Tier of spells.
Tier 1 - Bronze Realms and above.
Tier 2 - Gold - Master Realms and above.
Tier 3 - Superior Stage Masters - Grandmaster Realms and above
Tier 4 - Epic Realms and above
Tier 5 - Legendary Realms and above
Tier 6 - Transcendent - Demigod Realms and above
Tier 7 - Peak Superior Stage Demigod - Mid-Tier Deity Realms and above
Tier 8 - Superior stage Mid-Tier Deity - Monarch Realms.
◇ ◇ ◇
True Name;
The true name of any being is the closest thing to their soul, touching their true name means touching their soul.
This was why most beings carefully protect their true names from being fully known. At most, their parents would know their true name, as they are usually the ones to give it. However, this was only while they were a lower existence.
In other words, when a being reached the demigod realm, their true name changes and the new true name is known by that being alone and no one else.
It is possible to control a being in many ways from their thoughts to their actions if one possesses the true name of their target. It is also possible to make the personmit suicide.
◇ ◇ ◇
True Voice;
When a being reaches the deity realm, their voices be imbued with power and authority ''passively''.
Though one may hear it with their ears, it would also feel as if the deity realm existence is speaking directly to one''s soul.
The true voice of a deity realm existence was enough to copse the minds of most mortal existences.
Due to the difference of power between them, their souls may be damaged or destroyed the moment they hear the deity realm existence''s true words.
This is why the majority of the time, Deity realm existences ''Switch Off'' their true voice unless when they are ''conversing'' with other deity realm existences.
This is done by simply stopping the authority from being imbued in their words.
◇ ◇ ◇
Boundary Feild
A boundary field was a technique that involved knitting awork of energy and spreading it on a base area, such as a piece ofnd, a building etc. to create a mystic boundary line that separates the inside from the outside. More powerful boundary fields can also be spread acrossrger distances and even in space too.
