Author's Note:[ I made some omissions in the earlier chapters. Most terms that are going to be used throughout the novel would be clearly defined in this chapter so please do well to read.]
In general, people can be classified into two main categories regardless of the uniqueness of ones ability.
Those with abilities related to the four elements such as Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and other subcategories such as Lighting, Ice, Mineral ores and Magma are refered to as .ELEMENTALS.
While those with abilities outside the four elements and it's Subcategories are refered to as. DEVIANTS.
The world's conventional power ranking system contains seven ranks which ranges from F-RANK< E-RANK< D-RANK< C-RANK< B-RANK< A-RANK < S-RANK.
Each of these ranks contain nine levels within them numbering from one to nine. Persons within the levels of one to three within a rank are regarded as Low grades. While those within the levels of four to six are Mid grades and finally, those from levels seven to nine are refered to as Peak grades.
This ranking system is not applicable in every case as some unusual persons(SINGULARITIES) surpass the S-rank limitation.
Therefore, some adjustments were made to the ranking system to include the S+ RANK, SS-RANK and finally the SSS- RANK. Persons within these special ranks are said to have undergone TRANSCENDENCE.
The level of control or mastery a person has over his or her ability is divided into three categories regardless of one's rank.
• The first step for an elemental is INTENT( manifestation of one's resolve).
•The second step is DOMINANCE ( the superiority of one's resolve)
• The last step is DOMAIN ( the influence of one's resolve).
For DEVIANTS, the levels of control is literally almost the same but with slight differences. INTENT, SUPREMACY, and REGION are the words used to describe their own levels of control.
As the story progresses the difference between these levels of control would be clearly spelt out.
•Dominance is the state In which a person unites his aura and killing intent giving him an insane overall power boost or in other cases projections of one's inner self..
Note: DOMINANCE = SUPREMACY.
• Domain is the next step above Dominance. It is a state of power in which ones intent and aura maps out a territory and manipulates the physical laws within that certain area giving it's user unprecedented power boosts.
As mentioned in the earlier chapters, a person has the ability to form a contract with a weapon only once in his or her life. The advantage of having a contracted weapon is that one does not need to it carry about. A contracted weapon can be summoned anywhere and anytime as long as something does not inhibit it.
Weapons have seven grades depending on it attack power, material of construction, cosmic affinity and intelligence.
The seven grades are as follows:
Knight grade...
Lord grade...
Duke grade...
King grade...
Emperor grade...
Saint grade...
Eternal grade...
From the King grade and above, a weapon develops consciousness. It is able to think and speak to its owner with whom a contract has been signed with.
