B2 — 14. The System Sheet

AuthorSME

The System: During The Oscillation, some force changed people; we transformed from humans to these creatures multiple times within the span of the event, and after the cracks and lights in the sky vanished, so did our humanity.

The System functions in a similar manner to a game; we have different stats, abilities, and it has provided some kind of agent that discloses information that we ask. However, there seem to be some rules for this knowledge to be delivered.

The Attribute System: Since the change, we’ve all been given different stats that affect our overall performance.  These stats seem to affect our abilities; these are sperate from our Racial Attributes, such as my Lunar Pool and Maria’s Solar Pool, but they are affected by the Attribute System.  Magic forces could play a significant role in this system, as well. The attributes we’ve been able to identify are as followed:

Types of Effects: we’ve been able to identify.

The Advancement System: It’s clear after some digging that we each can advance within our abilities.  There are two sub-systems at play, the Leveling System and the Proficiency System.  However, the Proficiency System is restricted by the Leveling System; you cannot upgrade the proficiencies beyond a certain point without leveling up a skill to a certain point.  

Achievement System: is relatively unknown to us; only Scarlet and Maria seem to have achievements at the moment, but Relica said it was the only means to counter the snowball effect of the battle experience system.  Maria having more points than me seems to prove that since she didn’t fight at all, but we don’t know if healing can also give experience points toward the Level Advancement System.

The Tree System: appears to function in a variety of different ways, and there are many different branches within it.  They could be considered skills, talents, spells, abilities, but they all have some kind of power attached to them.  Fiona proposed this thought:

Types of Activations:

The Oscillation Changed: There are three categories that we can be; we are all the Mythickin Type, but we have different Races and Kinds.  Scarlet is a Mythickin Type, Reaper Race, and Vespertine Kind.

The Oscillation Types:

Psyche Change:  It’s clear that our minds have been affected by this change.  We’re a lot more capable of causing physical actions than we would have been as humans.  We’re more detached from our humanity than we initially thought. Our minds have definitely changed.

Overall: It appears several systems function together and against each other.  These systems are:

Rachel; Lunar Hare: are Lunar Elemental type based; most of my attacks deal Lunar and Physical damage.

Stats:  

Base Lunar Tree Skills:

Lunar Racials:

Cerridwen Branch: Probably some other deity that is connected to something with the moon.

Wenet’s Branch

Chang’e Branch

Total Skill Points Used: 78

Maria; Sunlit Unicorn: Maria’s healing actually takes a hit under direct moonlight (unfortunate).  It adds a higher cost to her abilities by fifteen percent.

Stats:  

Achievements:

Type Abilities: 

Base Sunlit Unicorn Tree Skills:

Sunlit Racials:

Sun Touched Branch

Miracles of the Immaculate Branch: seems to be centered on more miraculous feats compared to the Sun Touched Branch.  These spells take a lot more Solar Energy than the previous, but Maria said she was able to cure a birth defect in a person that changed their lives; I think being in the sunlight changed Maria a bit … she’s still blunt, but she almost seems nicer.

Liberation of the Light Branch: seems to be Maria’s movement or escape type skills; she didn’t particularly like this branch, saying she doesn’t run from things, but liked the idea of being able to teleport into banks...

Fiona; Prismatic Fairy: the big downside for her being a Fairy is that she’s now three inches tall, much to her ire.  She could even fit through the hole Scarlet made in the wall when she was trying to cut Maria’s horn, though, it was a tight fit.  Most of her spells seem to be conjuring based rather than manipulating existent elements.

Stats:  

Type Abilities: 

States:

Base Prismatic Fairy Tree Skills:

Prismatic Racials:

Wind Magic Branch: is the first branch Fiona unlocked.  It gives her a green glow whenever used.

Fire Magic Branch: Fiona’s second branch (if you count Hot Air in the Fire Branch since it is between Wind and Fire) that makes her glow red. 

Water Magic Branch: is the third branch opened to Fiona; apparently, she used it to scare her cat off the table.  Scarlet really wants to meet this cat Fiona keeps talking about. This makes her glow dark blue.

Ice Magic Branch: is the fourth branch opened to Fiona, and makes her glow light blue.

Earth Magic Branch: is the fifth branch unlocked by Fiona, and turns her aura a light brown.

Lightning Magic Branch: is the sixth branch Fiona used, and turns her aura yellow.

Link Magic Branches: Not officially a Branch, but it seems some skills occupy multiple Branches, like dividing down the center.

Scarlet; the Vespertine Reaper: a glorified vampire while not being called a vampire.  Who knows why she gets the fancy name (none of us know what Vespertine means).  Maybe she’s not a Mythickin Vampire because Jael is already the Mythickin Vampire, or perhaps it has something to do with the Reaper inside of her … the more I learn about it, the surer I am that it’s something separate from Scarlet (yet has the same name?).  She is such an all-rounder too, and Scarlet’s Blessing … super broken.

Stats:  

Achievements: Scarlet’s achievements are so scary that she’s told us that she doesn’t want to tell us what they do; they frightened her so badly that she doesn’t want to risk anyone learning about them.  What she has told us is that both are Level One Hundred, Grade Godly, Rank Maxed, and they’re so terrible that she thinks the whole world would turn on her if they found out what they did.

Type Abilities: 

States: 

Guise of the Reaper: is a state in which Scarlet basically becomes a Grim Reaper ... literally.

Base Scarlet Tree Skills: acts more like a Racial Tree.

Base Reaper Tree Skills:

Reaper Racials: 

Vespertine Racials: by all our knowledge shouldn’t be a Racial, but it seems it is.  Vespertine is a strange word. We asked one of the agents outside to look it up, and they said it meant active during the evening, related to bats and owls, but that doesn’t mean they’re active in full darkness or at night.

Scarlet’s Tree: Scarlet has no Branches in this tree; another unorthodox thing about her.

Reaper’s Tree:

Call of the Reaper Branch:

Final Note:  Scarlet, The Reaper of Blood, or whatever this being or thing is that’s changed Scarlet seems to defy a lot of what we know.  She seems to be a Vampire without being a Vampire, a Reaper, and some Light and Darkness creature. Her primary weakness seems to be the Solar Element, and her other weakness, the Light Element, from her Reaper side seems to be covered under the Vespertine Twilight aspect of her.  She’s a mixture of paradoxes.

SME's Request:

I hope you've been enjoying the free entertainment!  The internet is divided into different echo-chambers; you have a specific group that only hovers around specific sites/content.  So, by recommending my serials to others, you give it more exposure to different echo-chambers and help it grow.  Ratings are excellent, Trending is terrific, but it only will appeal to a specific echo-chamber.  If you like my content, then please share it in your own unique way.

Thank you!  ^_^7
