Book 3: Glossary (2)

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 The transportation still uses magi-tech, but its always outdated and can only travel a little bit faster than regular trains and cars.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

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

Demon King

Social Contact Outside of Cities:

Demons are perfectly fine with killing any other demon they see outside of cities. However, they will generally avoid killing other demons who have crests showing clearly on their body, designating them as members of a Nobles family. Unless the demon in question is also a child of a Noble or a Noble themselves.

The demons place absolute trust in the Royal Family thanks to the entire Demon world of Tartarus being controlled under his absolute power, and their entire society having been formed by him alone. Additionally, he solves all of their problems, and is by far the oldest demon living to this day. One of the very few demons who survived long enough to know the truth of the world.

One gold coin -> Ten silver

One silver -> One hundred bronze

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.

However, there are also skills known as Achievement-Locked skills, which have to be purchased through skill points before they then turn into inherent skills which level up just like any other inherent skill. These skills cannot use Skill Points to level up.

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.

Class I multiplier: 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.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Class II multiplier: Tier E has a multiplier of 0.2, D a multiplier of 0.4, C 0.7, B 1.0, and A has a multiplier of 1.4.

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

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.

And she knows that Scarlet is a blood lycan, but it doesnt change how she feels about her.

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.

Demon Lord of Tartarus, Scarlets father, and the son of the current Demon King. He is a pureblood Blood Lycan who had a child with White, the current most powerful human being, and his father was not happy about it. He cares about Scarlet a lot and can get protective of her in strange ways. However, if she is on a hunt, he will not disturb her as is the way with blood lycans.

Amelia Asger:

White, the most powerful amongst the Knights of Humanity, and Scarlets mother. She is also the brother to Blue and aunt to Aria. Amelia loves both her daughter and Leonidas and went with the prophecy due to her fear of losing the two of them. Fear that was implanted into her by past prophecies that had gone horribly wrong after she didnt follow them.

Arkaz Luna Val de Archeron:

Demon King of Tartarus, Scarlets grandfather, and the father of one of the current Demon Lords. He is a pureblood Blood Lycan and does not approve of his son having had a child with a human. 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.

After Scarlet was brought to Tartarus, he prioritizes her over most things, including his own work as the King sometimes. He also has a habit of patting her on the head, to her displeasure.

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. However, she is fine with physical contact as long as its with Scarlet, who she quickly grew to like after meeting her and begins to think of as an older sister.

Aria has long black hair with unnatural blue eyes and two wings that she can summon whenever she pleases. The wings look like those of an angels.

Aquatic Divine: Arias magic that lets her use both water and holy magic in tandem.

Aria also has a few etched skills from Alexander but doesnt know what all of them are or how to use most of them except for a single one. One that allows her to shapeshift a part of her body into a tentacle tipped with a claw. And this one she only knows about due to accidentally using it.

Alexander Knight:

One of the five Knights of Humanity, Blue. He is an insane psychopath with water related magic that can also transform him into a kraken, and is tied with Red as the second most powerful human being. He is Scarlets uncle and White Scarlets mother brother. He is Arias father despite practically abandoning her to the government immediately after having her through the first willing gene donor he could find just to get the government off his back.

Will Wright:

One of the five Knights of Humanity, Black. He has a split personality with one of his personalities being a playful prankster, and the other a pseudo psychopath. The man both wishes to take Scarlet in and adopt her but also doesnt at the same time. One side of him wishes to do it out of actual worry and care, while the other just wants to spite Amelia, Scarlets biological mother.

Black uses a shadow related magic that makes him the most powerful human assassin in the world.

Noah Walker:

Noah is the Red Knight of Humanity and tied for the second most powerful human being, being evenly matched with Blue. He has a son named Blake Walker, who he raised on the front lines like a soldier.

Blake Walker:

Blake is the son of Red and is a Class II Guardian. He also admits that Scarlet is his type but adamantly refuses to let that develop into any form of romantic interest.

Lucius Tor de Blackheart:

One of the four Demon Lords of Tartarus and a Ghoul. He has the titles Lord of Death and The Reaper. He uses death magic and is close to the Demon King. He is the oldest of the four Demon Lords even if he isnt the strongest and has family issues.

He dislikes the way blood lycans treat their family sometimes.

(His art will be revealed soon along with the other Demon Lords)

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.

He is one of the few people who remembers what White looks like and still meets with her regularly.

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.

Julian:

Son of the CEO of Magic Arc the company in charge of every magi-tech tram in the capital city. He was the new Guardian Scarlet saved in a Fracture. He has silver hair to match the tail that pokes a hole through his pants along with two silver eyes, the same glossy shade of silver as his tail.

Anthony Wilson:

Contracted partner of Artoria Tars sister and a user of death magic. Part void spawn due to human experimentation. Can use a powerful legendary skill that drastically increases all of his stats for the price of taking an explosive amount of damage if hurt while using the skill.

Lucas Walsh:

Lucas was the second place finisher in the Class I Solo Primary Tournament that Scarlet won. He is a student at Aquatic Pride Guardians University, and has a strong magical sense of smell, leading to him noticing Scarlets scent and pointing it out in a creepy manner.
