Chương 113: B2 | Updated Glossary with Atlantis and Luk'tar

Vortel Description: The World of Vortel is a world where one tenth of the population will be born with a special ability. These ability users are classified in two different ways. Special Class Ability Holders, or SCAH, who have a unique ability that no one else has ever had before, and Regular Ability Holders, or RAH. The abilities come in various different classifications: Physical: Physical Ability Holders gain an increase to their body in some physical manner such as superstrength or speed.

Magical: Magical Ability Holders gain the ability to use one magical element and gain a mana pool to go along with the element. Special: Special Ability Holders are the in between. The abilities that cannot be classified in the other two classifications but are still abilities. These can include a hybrid of Physical and Magical, or neither. Some examples include the ability to use a single powerful attack, the ability to set yourself on fire but feel no pain and take no damage, or the ability to nullify abilities.

But these abilities do not give the user any mana to use. There is only one continent on Vortel as all of the others have been destroyed over the years through war, leading to the Great Acclaims being established, banning the use of strategic abilities and strictly enforcing it within both nations to lock down any person with a strategic level ability and restrict the use of their ability.

Aran Description: The continent of Aran houses the Albarian and Arterian nations, both of whom have been at war for as long as either side can remember. The Albarians want the gold and metals that the Arterians have, and the Arterians want the fertile land that the Albarians have. And neither are willing to share with their eternal enemy. Albaria Description: The Albarian nation treats its soldiers generally well, but if a soldier has a bad officer in charge of them they will not have a good life.

The people flourish with food and water, but are lacking in the technology department as opposed to Artaria. Ruled by a council of governors with a political emperor figurehead who has little power. Ability Holders are required to enlist into the military within four years of graduating from lower education, by the time they turn 22 years old. They are also required to attend special classes to help them learn how to control their ability during their education.

Albaria has a smaller population and less land, with fewer Ability Holders. However, their Ability Holders often end up being higher quality than the Arterian Ability Holders. Trade from Arteria is illegal. Military Rankings: Private Corporal – Can directly command during battle up to 3 subordinates. Sergeant – Can directly command during battle up to 10 subordinates.

The people often are lacking in food and water, albeit still with enough to live off of even if it doesn't necessarily taste good, but have a higher level of technology than the Albarians have. Ruled by an Emperor with absolute power.

Ability Holders are required to enlist into the military right away after graduating from lower education. They are also required to attend special classes to teach them how to control and fight with their ability during their education.

Trade from Albaria is illegal.

Universe Revival is possible if a strong enough void mage or a Void Spirit is present.

They are capable of pulling a soul from the void and placing it back in the body at a significant cost levels from the one revived. However, conditions have to be fulfilled for the revival to work. Such as the being who is getting revived needing to be at least level 10 if it is a void mage doing the resurrection. However, a Void Spirit can revive most people with only a few restrictions. Every world has a World Core where the users of the System are allowed to reset or lower their levels.

However, these changes are permanent and cannot be revoked. Furthermore, people are not capable of forcing others to reset their levels as the System will detect attempts to do so. Invasions of new worlds are considered an honor for those who participate, and entire forces are created just to prepare for invasions, filled with people who have either stopped themselves from leveling or have had their levels purposefully reset to 1 at a World Core.

Coordinates of new worlds are found by spatial magic users, and the worlds are classified by a division of seers from the Arcadian Society into five different Tiers. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon, with Alpha being the highest Tier. These Tiers are decided based on planet size, population, quantity and quality of Ability Holders, and resources. Level of the user plays an important role in society outside of Vortel.

Meanwhile most adults are already at least level ten, with the higher level average adults being around level 20. Raising the level of someone's class has various effects on the user in question. Some of them include but aren't limited to raising their physical strength, their mental capacity, their magical power, their mana capacity, and their lifespan. Every user in the System tends to live for around 100 years on average, with every 100 levels doubling the user's total lifespan.

Worlds across the universe vary in their levels of technology and magical understanding, with Vortel's level of technology being just a small amount above the average level of technology in the universe, and their understanding of magic a little above that. System Description: The System is an instinctive defense mechanism on every single planet in the universe, and it activates when invaders arrive to attack the planet.

Class: A Class is automatically assigned to every user based on their natural ability and talents. Leveling up their Class will give them skills that will benefit them in further accomplishing what their Class requires along with possible physical or magical enhancements to their own body. Ability: An Ability is whatever special ability the user was born with. Level: A user's level is increased by doing the action that their Class centers around.

Planets are tiered based on various factors including but not limited to the size of the planet's population, the number of Ability Holders they have, and the power of the Ability Holders on the planet. And they are rated between Tiers Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon, with Alpha being the highest. Abilities are divided into five Classes or Categories, the term varying depending on the culture classifying them.

Category 1/Class D Category 2/Class C Category 3/Class B Category 4/Class A Category 5/Class S Aria Crimson Description: The main protagonist of the story and a true immortal. She was a soldier fighting on the side of Albaria and was on the frontlines when the gates open and the System Initializes. And she is the only surviving member of the Crimson Noble Household – a family made up of Category 5/Class S Special Ability Users, each with their own unique ability.

However, all of the money of the household was taken away by those who killed her family off, and she is the only one left because it is impossible to kill her. So as the only way the Emperor could think of to get rid of her, he sent her to the frontlines where she is expected to fight for eternity for the Empire. But he lost his political and military power, and was eventually killed by Aria with his soul core devoured so that he could never revive again.

Aria then left Vortel and arrived on Eternus, the Capital world of the Eternal Dynasty. Aria personally likes the Albarian Empire despite its emperor. She is beloved by the Death Spirits.

Class: Harbinger of Death – One of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the harbinger must bring death unto others to grow stronger. Current Skills: Harvest: This skill allows the user to harvest the souls of the dying around them. They can then devour the soul energy within them, sending the souls off to the void. Or they can devour the soul whole, taking in the cores of their souls and erasing them from reality itself in the process.

Servants of the Pale Horseman: This skill allows the user to summon Lesser Minor Spirits of Death, the lowest of the hierarchy of Death Spirits. These spirits will then obey all of the orders given to them by their beloved Lady Death. Set these Spirits on the fools who would try to harm Death herself. For they do not know of whom they harbor animosity towards.

Supports Aria because her brother, the Eighth General, supports her. While she is very much a nationalist who loves her nation and will do whatever she can to benefit it, she will assist her brother over her nation any time. Alaric Ashfall: The Sixth General of Albaria. He is an old man who doesn't participate in any of the political squabbles surrounding the generals and therefore has the least power amongst them.
