Book 2: 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 The transportation still uses magi-tech, but its always outdated and can only travel a little bit faster than regular trains and cars.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.

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 skills and capabilities 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.

Tier E has a multiplier of 0.1, D a multiplier of 0.2, C 0.4, B 0.6, and A has a multiplier of 0.9.

Total Mana: 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.

Total Mana Regen: Average between the multipliers of your vitality capability of your physical stat and your power capability of your magical stat, multiplied by your magical stat.

Note: Scarlets mana regen does not follow this due to Blood Regeneration!!!

Strength in arc: Add together the multipliers for the individual's Strength and Agility capabilities. Then multiply that by their total stat points in Physical times 25 arc. And that is the estimated amount of arc 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 arc on average raw punching power, not including any skill or techniques used to increase it. Meaning no martial arts.

(Scarlets multipliers combined is 1.2x)

The stats everyone starts out with is 10 but their starting stats vary after contracting depending on both their reality warp, their magic, and their physical fitness at the time of contracting.

Class I Demons 1-100

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

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.

Average Levels at the Opening of the Fracture: 15-20

Demon Knight

Description: A powerful form of unintelligent demon. These creatures often serve as bodyguards for other demons, however they may also be found as guards for certain locations that are of interest for the demons. These creatures have durable scales that look almost like the armor of a knight from medieval times.

Weakness: They dont tend to leave their charge unless immensely provoked whether that charge be another demon or a location.

Average Levels at the Opening of the Fracture: 25-100

Demon Breeder

Demon Captain

Description: An intelligent demon and the strongest of all of the Class I demons. They are the sole commanders of the Class I Fractures, and once they are killed, any organization the demons in that Fracture had will fall apart. These creatures have incredibly durable scales that look almost like the armor of a knight from medieval times, but with armor much stronger than that of metal or that of the demon knights.

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.

However, he doesnt hold this against the child and cares about Scarlet very much. Even if he has only met her once when she was a baby. He also didnt approve of Leonidass plan to bring Scarlet to Earth but had no way to go against it since his command as Demon King doesnt work on a Demon Lord and his son conducted his plan without telling him first. The man has constantly been searching for Scarlet and anything that may lead him to her so that he can bring her home and protect her as his only granddaughter.

Aria Knight:

Aria is Scarlets cousin and the daughter of Blue. She is one of the youngest Guardians in recorded history, a famous child actress, and is emotionally stunted in her development just like Scarlet.

He is Arias father despite practically abandoning her to the government immediately after having her through artificial means just to get the government off his back.
