Chapter -2: Realms\Ranks\Levels\Energies\Laws(SPOILER ALERT!)
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, Explanation 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 that lasts 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 most planets or universes, if a planet 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;
Bronze Realm - Weakest Realm/Level of Existence: You would replace most human civilians and civilians of other weaker races here. The default state of most races.
Silver Realm - Next Level after the Bronze realm, Takes about five average Bronze Realms to Defeat 1 average Silver.
Gold Realm - 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.
Master Realm - 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 is common 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.
Grand Master Realm - 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.
Epic Realm - Here, one has a higher level of existence and energy level, possible skill or unique ability upgrades, not common though. The destructive power of the combat-oriented existences in this realm scales from destroying mountains to small islands.
Legendary Realm - At this stage, one begins to shed their mortality, preparing to ascend into a Higher/Superior Existence. Destructive power ranges between destroying large mountains, islands or small countries.
Sovereign Realm - 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 blacksmith creating a Legendary sword they could not previously create. (Something Leagues above their current skillset) Here, one can easily bring down a large country single-handedly. Sinking small continents is within the realm of possibility.
Transcendent Realm - 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, becomes 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 of combat-oriented Transcendents can sink multiple continents.
Demigod Realm - 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 rank law. This is usually gotten at around 50% comprehension but depending on the circumstances, it may be earlier or later.
Destructive power range: Even the weakest can sink a continent without much effort. Obliterating a moon is considered normal and turning a small planet 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 protective layer or barrier around their souls made up of an energy type closely related to them.
For example; a god would have their protective layer made of divinity, or a demon would have theirs made of demonic energy.
The number of layers increases as one advances in realm. i.e.; A Demigod realm would have one layer, a low-tier deity would have two layers, and so on and so forth.)
Lower Tier (Rank) Deity Realm - This is the base level of 'gods' and Pantheon Entities in the series. Any being in this realm is comparable 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 destroy planets is the mainstay. Depending on their stage, beings of this realm can dish out stellar or star system levels of destruction, though the latter may be uncommon.
Medium Tier (Rank) Deity Realm - 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 solar or star systems depending on their stage.
This level has a large 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 stellar level to multiple star systems. In this case, 'multiple' star systems, mean from one or two to hundreds, thousands or even millions.
High Tier (Rank) Deity Realm - 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 galaxy. The energy within the energy cores of existences on this level simply just cannot be below the level required to end an entire galaxy 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 galaxies.
Monarch Realm - 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 sufficient comprehension of at least one law of Monarch Rank and the equivalent authority.
The power possessed by beings on this level is capable of creating and/or destroying multiple galaxies, (at least a few dozen) when the space between celestial bodies is taken into account, as opposed to merely the matter encompassed by them.
Depending on the stage, they can do this to thousands of galaxies, millions or even billions though this is mostly seen among superior stages.
This stage also has a large power gap between the previous and the next.
Surpassing this stage is impossible without at least attaining partial Cosmic Superiority.
Primogenial Realm - 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 becoming 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.
Cosmic Energy 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.
Phantasmal? Realm - Not much is known about this realm, even it's actual name. Only offhandedly mentioned at this point in the story.
Sage Realm - Not much is known about this realm, even it's actual name. Only offhandedly mentioned at this point in the story.
Supreme Realm - Not much is known about this realm at this point in the story, just that they are capable of destroying universes with ease.
Grand Supreme Realm - Not much is known about this realm at this point in the story.
◇ ◇ ◇
Nonstandard Existences.
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 translate 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 in combat, merely battling beings entire realms or stages higher than themselves is already considered a great feat in itself.
◇ ◇ ◇
Cosmic Superiority.
First of all, it should be explained 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 galaxies, the molecules, within and outside of space and time.
This energy was also the energy that powered every galaxy 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 manipulated, 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 manipulating it.
The majority do not even know it exists in the first place!
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.
Sub-Cosmic Beings:
The beings that could completely perceive, and manipulate ambient cosmic energy in their surroundings, were those known as 'Sub-Cosmic' beings.
One could become Sub-Cosmic irrespective of their Existence Realm, however, becoming 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 manipulate ambient cosmic energy included, but were not limited to:
Increased physical, spiritual and astral body parameters. Their parameters were increased to the level that they completely surpassed others in the same stage/realm of existence.
They also receive the boon of elevated soul strength.
Lastly, they gain nigh-immortal 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 were completely 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!
Cosmic Beings:
As Sub-Cosmic beings could perceive and manipulate 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 becoming 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, Irregulars and/or Singularities 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 become 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 place 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 Explanations,
Law of Causality- The law of cause and effect. It has many roles in the series;
It is also the law that is responsible for making sure the system of every universe runs properly. It is a law that makes sure every being fulfils the role given to them by fate at a certain point in time.
It also prevents beings from replaceing out information they do not have the right to know.
This law has the duty of imposing restrictions/punishments on beings who break certain existential rules and laws, as well as trying to bypass certain limitations. Do not that these existential rules and laws change depending on the universe or planet one replaces themselves on. Basically, what can be considered as not allowed on a Lower World, might not be restricted on a Higher or Prime World.
The law of causality is responsible for preventing higher existences from carelessly descending into lower worlds/dimensions/planes 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 galaxies, using their true bodies containing all that energy to descend on a small low-level planet.
The planet would obviously be unable to take the pressure of such an enormous amount of energy and be destroyed. Thus the law 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 added later.
Every law has these ranks, i.e., the law of fire has a Basic Rank, a Lower Rank, and a Middle Rank and so on.
One can gain access to a law to comprehend it via various methods. The most common method is through the use of law crystals.
Law crystals are crystals mostly formed by condensed law essence that contain the knowledge/information about a universal law and how it worked.
Comprehending the knowledge held within, grants one an authority over the power of that law.
The information held within law crystals is not meant to be understood immediately.
It is all over the place and makes little sense, this is why one has to first comprehend a law before one can use it.
If the information made sense from the start, then anyone who picked up a law crystal might just gain an authority with no stress.
Comprehending laws 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 strength comparable to those who do.
The laws must be comprehended in order; one cannot attempt to comprehend a Lower Rank law without first comprehending 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.
The law of Causality does not approve of impersonating a progenitor. If one were to claim 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 claim 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, the law 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 race command.
◇ ◇ ◇
Higher and Lower Worlds;
When referring to higher and lower worlds/galaxies etc. in the series, take note of this;
Higher worlds may also be called higher planes of existence, and in some cases, higher dimensions.
They are the worlds/galaxies 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 planes would not be able to withstand the pressure from the number of ambient energies that are present in the higher planes/worlds.
The reason why higher existences are restricted from descending into lower worlds or planes 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 planes of existence are often called primary planes and the lower planes of existence are usually called secondary planes.
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 particular 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 declare 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 particular 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/runic language 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 planet, 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 to comfortably 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 person commit suicide.
◇ ◇ ◇
True Voice;
When a being reaches the deity realm, their voices become 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 collapse 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 a network of energy and spreading it on a base area, such as a piece of land, a building etc. to create a mystic boundary line that separates the inside from the outside. More powerful boundary fields can also be spread across larger distances and even in space too.
