Book 1: Glossary

World:

There is only one nation. The Terran Republic.

The Terran Republic: Splits the people between three classes, in three Tiers of city.

Tier 1 cities are full of wonderous buildings, many of which are skyscrapers seemingly touching the skies. The public transportation is through magi-tech trains that travel almost as fast as the speed of sound. The cities are guarded by the best of the best in terms of Guardians, most of whom are bloodline Guardians whose family is made up of Guardians as well, and each and every building has at least half as many Assault Bunkers as they have floors.

Tier 2 cities are comfortable enough, with some high reaching buildings located at the citys centers, and the majority of the other buildings reaching up to a few stories in height. The transportation still uses magi-tech, but its always outdated and can only travel a little bit faster than regular trains and cars. Of the Guardians stationed in the city, most of them are amongst the poorer Guardians who awakened either in Tier 2 or Tier 3 cities, without very good magic or battle instincts or inclinations.

Tier 3 cities are without almost any magi-tech, surviving solely on old world technology. They dont have very many Guardians, and the cities are not very large. Of the Guardians they do have, which tend to number only a dozen or so with each city at most, they are almost all made up of the cowardly Guardians who dont wish to fight in Demon Assaults. The cities also have massive slums meant solely for the orphans where the other people avoid like the plague.

The more people there are, and the more magic there is, the stronger and more frequent the Demon Assaults will be in that particular area. Meaning that Tier 1 cities have the most and strongest Demon Assaults by far, making it the best place for a Guardian to live if they wish to grow stronger. Meanwhile Tier 3 cities dont have very many Demon Assaults on average. But they also dont have much in defense against each Assault that takes place, leaving thousands to die every time one does infrequently occur.

Economy:

Currency: Credits and Skill Points.

6 credits are enough for 1 meal in a Tier 3 city.

2 credits are enough for 1 loaf of bread in a Tier 3 city.

50 credits are enough for a night's stay at a crappy hotel in a Tier 3 city.

70 credits are enough for a night's stay at a decent hotel in a Tier 3 city.

100 credits are enough to night's stay at a fancy hotel in a Tier 3 city.

60 credits are enough for a night's stay at a crappy hotel in a Tier 2 city.

100 credits are enough for a night's stay at a decent hotel in a Tier 2 city.

200 credits are enough to night's stay at a fancy hotel in a Tier 2 city.

300 credits are enough for a night's stay at a crappy hotel in a Tier 1 city.

500 credits are enough for a night's stay at a decent hotel in a Tier 1 city.

1000 credits are enough to night's stay at a fancy hotel in a Tier 1 city.

Basic magic weapon is worth 25000 credits or 250 SP.

Intermediate magic weapon is worth 50000 credits or 500 SP.

Advanced magic weapon is worth 100000 credits or 1000 SP.

Custom magic weapons are worth at least a million credits or 10000 SP.

System:

There are two types of skills. Inherent skills, and purchased skills. The inherent skills are almost always more powerful for skills purchasable at the level the skill is attained. But they also cannot be leveled up through SP. To level up an inherent skill, a Guardian must gather the EXP needed to level it through use.

Purchasable skills can only be leveled up through SP, and they have varying level and Achievement requirements to purchase at varying costs depending on the skills rarity.

Inherent skills do not have a rarity.

The stats a Guardian gains per level is decided on by two factors. Their species, and their magic.

Not all magics actually use magic. Its more of a term towards the direction that a users ability or powers take. Especially in their inherent skills.

At the same time, statistics alters reality itself to change the way your body reacts to it. Which is why even a skinny guardian may be vastly stronger than one that looks like a bodybuilder.

Formula for calculating the mana capacity of an individual:

Average multiplier between your multiplier for the power capability of your Mental stat and the capacity capability of your Magical stat. Then multiply that with your mental and magical stats and youll get your mana stat.

Formula for calculating the mana regeneration for an individual:

Average between the multipliers of an individual's Vitality capability of their Physical stat and their Power capability of their Magical stat, multiplied by their Magical stat.

This gives the percentage of their total mana that they regenerate every day.

Formula for calculating the average raw punching force of an individual without any skills or techniques meant to boost it such as System skills or martial arts:

Add together the multipliers for the individual's Strength and Agility capabilities. Then multiply that by their total stat points in Physical times 25 psi. And that is the estimated amount of psi someone should be able to deal in a single punch. The average human who does not have any magic has 10 stat points in Physical and a D for both Agility and Strength, adding up to a multiplier of 0.4. Meaning about 100 psi on average raw punching power, not including any skill or techniques used to increase it. Meaning no martial arts.

Demon Spawn

Description: The weakest type of demon. They have no sense and will kill any human they see. There are many variations of Spawn, each having a different physical appearance.

Weakness: Easily tricked as they simply rush in and attack with no capacity to think.

Average Levels at the Opening of the Fracture: 1-8

Demon Hound

Description: Demon hounds hunt in packs ranging from three to five hounds in size. They use a pack mentality when hunting.

Weakness: They will run away when at two or less members in a pack, and they are sensitive to high pitch noises.

Average Levels at the Opening of the Fracture: 3-15

Demon Huntsman

Description: A semi intelligent demon that will stalk from the shadows, hunting the strongest prey it can find with its crossbows.

Weakness: They are not very powerful in an upfront show of force, specializing in fighting from the shadows and ordering other demons around.

The Scarlet Wolf is the title given to her by the public.

Allen Silvester:

Former orphanage director of the Silvester Orphanage, current CEO of Silver Works a world renowned tech company famous for inventing magi-tech. He is a supporter of Scarlet and cares about her and the other orphans like a father would. However, there were many times that he almost lost his position as CEO because of his work for the orphanage, his brother having constantly tried to take the position out from under him. In the end, the board of shareholders for Silver Works forced him to give away the orphanage right when Scarlet was graduating from High School.

Allen is also a Guardian under the title Cipher. His magic is Technomancy, and his current magic skills involve him taking control of technology near him and breaking through their firewalls, along with other aspects such as the control of special nanomachines.

Cynthia Sylvester:

Allens wife, Arabellias mother, and Scarlets mother figure. She is incredibly cold and can be seen by many as simply uncaring towards anyone outside of her family while being protective of her family itself. But in reality, shes just afraid of losing someone else, like how she lost Belles sister.

Cynthia is also a Guardian under the title Frost, and one of the current Class IV Guardians most voted by the populous to likely reach Class V. She wears pale blue and white armor, with black hair streaked with pale blue, and has eyes that let off a faint pale blue glow.

Arthur Barnes:

A childhood friend of Scarlets and Belles, and is Belles boyfriend. He is the same age as the two and was also an orphan of the Silvester Orphanage. But unlike her, he accepted a lesser scholarship to the Tier 2 university known as Rhettford University in the city of Rhettford.

Arthur loves Belle with all of his heart and treats Scarlet like a younger sister. He is always beating Scarlet at video games that require a fast reaction speed, and was often the one who worked with Scarlet when she was doing something reckless back at the Tier 3 city if for no other reason than to make sure she didn't get into trouble. Or into too much trouble.

But he ended up taking a lot of the heat half the time when she would make a last minute escape right when Allen would return to the orphanage to yell at them.

Arabellia Silvester:

Allen Silvesters biological daughter and another childhood friend of Scarlets. She currently attends one of the famous universities in the Tier 1 capital city, Terra, called Terra University. She is Arthurs girlfriend and treats Scarlet like a little sister since Arabellia is quite tall for her age, standing at nearly six feet tall despite being the same age as Scarlet.

She likes to drag Scarlet around shopping if she ever gets the chance, and also wishes she could dress Scarlet up more often, since she almost never lets her. The two have been close since they can remember and often text each other to keep in contact.

Unlike Arthur, Belle has no interest in video games and instead watched a lot of movies with Scarlet when they were younger.

Sylver:

A Guardian at the bottom of Class II working for the Silver Association. He is the same age as Scarlet and attends Lions Heart Guardians University. He has silver lightning that doesnt need to be conducted to move and can take control of simple electronics.

Michael Winters:

A Guardian who contracted three weeks before the start of the story and is a new student at Lions Heart Guardians University. He is just one year older than Scarlet and has Nature magic. He is a stoic and by the book individual who keeps Denise in line as he has been a close friend to her for years.

Nature Magic: Gives primarily healing skills with some summoning/creation skills to summon or create familiars and summoned beings to help him fight.

Denise Harley:

A Guardian who contracted two weeks before the start of the story and is a new student at the Guardian University. She is two years older than Scarlet and has Inferno magic. She is an overly caring and passionate individual who has few filters or borders but is able to learn from her mistakes.

Inferno Magic: Gives skills related to fire and ice magic. Including both body enhancement skills and magical attacks.

Emily Winters:

A Guardian who contracted three weeks before the start of the story and is a new student at the Guardian University. She is a year younger than Scarlet and has Corruption magic. She is shy and often hides behind her older brother as they both contracted at the same time and are very close.

Corruption Magic: Gives skills related to the corroding of a biological body. Includes poisons, viruses, and other types of things like that.

Sage:

She is the head of intelligence for Cipher and the Silver Association. The woman barely displays any of her emotions, and many people believe that she may have lost them entirely upon being turned into a Guardian with Seer magic.

Seer Magic: Gives prophetic visions and foresight and prediction related skills.

Alfred Raynsford:

The vice-headmaster of Lions Heart Guardians University and the one who observed Scarlets entrance exam. He holds a grudge against Cipher for something he did back when he was a student at the university. Alfred has 2 tails.

Jacob R. Ashton:

He is the government official in charge of registering new Guardians, and is the former headmaster of Lions Heart. However, not much else is known about him beyond his being familiar with White.

White:

White is an unknown in the story at this moment. Her exact identity will be explained in the future, but at this moment, all that is known about her is that she contracted Allen Sylvester to create an orphanage and left Scarlet to him, telling him to raise her like she was just a regular orphan, that she has ties to the government official Jacob R. Ashton, and one more detail that is not directly stated in the story but many might catch onto.
