[This chapter serves as a guide/informational introduction into some themes you'll encounter throughout the story, the power system, and a small sample of some of the world building. Minor Spoilers ahead! You've been warned!]
❖ THEMES
This will be a short paragraph explaining the themes you may encounter in the Hunting Novel
◆ Self-Discovery and Identity
◆ External Conflict
◆ Destiny vs Free Will
These are just a few of the many we will get into now for the moment you've been waiting for!
❖ SEISHU ENERGY
The living energy inside of all living things, anyone who has it can gain access to the power system. (Minus bloodline related abilities, Divine abilities, or higher tier abilities.) The reason for that is Seishu energy requires a balance of your body, if not met you can hurt yourself or die. Balance is achieved when training or honing your Physical, Mental, and Spiritual abilities. This balance must be at least at a 20/20/20 ratio which isn't hard. Anyone who wants to achieve use of the power system though, must have a 40/40/40 balance and the hard part about that is anything after 20/20/20 which would be considered peak human condition in the story for humans, would end up being hard to maintain because after the peak conditioning your pushing your body past the limits of human capabilities. Seishu energy when you achieve the power system is home to multiple different power systems (some are classified for now, and some are impossible for normal humans to achieve I.E. Hunters Legacies… but that's for a later time.
❖ Spirit (Seishu) Ranks
A measurement of the mastery of Seishu energy. (This does include your potent energy or Overall energy.) Here are the levels of Mastery:
• Peak Human Condition
• Kōsei (Fixed Star Level)
• Shinshoku (True Touch Level)
• Seijin (True Person Level)
• Tenshi (Heavenly Level)
• Kenshin (Divine Level)
• Tenkai (Transcendant/Ascended Level)
❖ Sanmei
An artifact that is tethered to a person who gains access to the power system of Seishu energy. It is unique to each person as it resonates with their soul. Here are the types of Sanmei:
• Power Type
• Reiro Type
• Shinshi Type
Lastly, there is divine/blessed artifacts, only several of these exist in the entire Cosmology.
That is all of the Power system stuff for now going any further would spoil the series.
❖ COSMOLOGY
Next we will explain the cosmology of the Hunting story from the highest peak of Existence to the lowest. Lastly we will explain the three realms in minor detail without many spoilers. Here are the levels of Existence:
• Sahaquiel (meaning "Truth Above the Clouds.")
• Shin'en (meaning "Imaginary Truths")
• Jōgenkai (which is where the Reisen (hunting realm) and Hibakurai (Ashnmaw realm)
• Genseijō (meaning "true origin") which is where the humans and any other race of the lower plane exist
❖ Realms
Lastly, we are getting insight into the main setting for our story these are the realms that it will take place in:
• Reisen (Hunting Realm)
• Hibakurai (Ashnmaw Realm)
• Kanjōkai (Realm of Sensations) aka (Human Realm)
Lastly another realm/Dimension that will be important is Tenchōtō (Heavenly Imperial Peach or Heavenly Imperial Peach Paradise)
