In a world where power is the true currency, there is one universal truth: the Vault determines everything. On every individual's 10th birthday, they receive their Vault—a mystical source of power that flows into their body, awakening unique abilities that will grow stronger with time. But the Vault is more than just a source of power—it is a symbol of one's place in the world, a reflection of their status and potential.
The Vaults are ranked, and each rank holds its own weight.
Diamond Vaults are the rarest and most coveted. Reserved for the wealthy elite, these Vaults grant their bearers unmatched strength, control over the elements, and even the ability to manipulate reality itself. Those with Diamond Vaults are revered, their power far beyond the reach of most.
Gold Vaults are still a mark of greatness, given to those who are rich but not at the very top. Their powers are formidable—control over powerful elemental forces, speed beyond measure, and strength that rivals the mightiest warriors. Gold Vaults are a sign of privilege, though not as extraordinary as Diamond.
Silver Vaults are granted to the average. For most, a Silver Vault provides the foundation to unlock basic abilities—enhanced physical abilities, elemental control, and the power to withstand great challenges. Though not extraordinary, those with Silver Vaults are capable of growing into great warriors or mages with enough dedication.
Bronze Vaults, the lowest of the Vaults, are given to those born into poverty. These Vaults bestow only the most basic of powers—simple energy manipulation, modest strength, or weak elemental control. The owners of these Vaults often find themselves struggling to keep up with the more powerful ranks.

But the Vaults hold more than just human power. There are also the Demon Vaults—rare, dangerous, and feared.
When a demon soldier dies, their Vault remains, an invaluable relic filled with dark and powerful energy. Demon Vaults are unique, and only a few have ever been seen in the hands of humans.
Void Vaults, the most powerful of Demon Vaults, are incredibly rare and contain the energy of nothingness itself. Those who wield a Void Vault can manipulate the fabric of reality, bending time, space, and the laws of nature to their will.
Ghost Vaults are often held by the elite soldiers who serve the Demon King. These Vaults bestow the ability to summon and control spirits, phase through solid objects, or manipulate the spectral realm. Though powerful, Ghost Vaults are not as mighty as the Void Vaults but still hold unimaginable strength.
Shadow Vaults, the lowest rank of Demon Vaults, are the most common among demon slaves. These Vaults are imbued with shadow energy, granting abilities to manipulate darkness, cloak the wielder in shadows, or create illusions. While weaker than the Ghost and Void Vaults, Shadow Vaults are still a dangerous power to possess.

The Vaults system is the lifeblood of this world, shaping the lives of those who live within it. Whether born into wealth or poverty, whether gifted with a Demon Vault or bound to the limitations of a Bronze Vault, everyone must unlock the potential of their Vault and use it to carve their path in a society where power is everything.
It is said that one's destiny is written in their Vault. But for some, destiny is just the beginning.
