# MYTHIC: THE QLIPHOTH SYSTEM
### 1. The Foundation — The Inverted Tree of Power
In this world, power flows from the **Tree of Qliphoth**, the *dark or light reflection* of the divine Tree of Life.
Each **Qliphoth Sphere** is a vessel of ancient, mythic energy — fragments of broken divinity.
To channel Mythic power, one must awaken a *Qliphoth Seed* within their soul.
These seeds bloom along the dark or light Tree's roots, granting power at the cost of **corruption or righteous** — the more one ascends, the closer they drift toward godhood… or oblivion.
> "Every myth is born from light.
> Every legend bleeds from shadow."
---
### 2. Mythic Origins and the Qliphoth Link
Each **Mythic Origin** (the divine legend within a person) resonates with one **Qliphoth Sphere** — defining their abilities, personality, and inner struggle.
To rise in Mythic power, the user must climb this *Inverted Tree* — confronting the darkness within each sphere.
| **Qliphoth Sphere** | **Mythic Domain** | **Theme** | **Corruption Price** |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| **Lilith (Nahemoth)** | Birth of Darkness | Instinct, Survival | Loss of innocence |
| **Gamchicoth** | Devourers | Greed, Consumption | Unending hunger |
| **Satariel** | Concealers | Knowledge, Secrets | Isolation, paranoia |
| **A'arab Zaraq** | Ravens of Dispersion | Passion, Desire | Madness of obsession |
| **Thagirion** | Disputers | Power, Pride | Self-deification |
| **Harab Serapel** | Burning Ones | Wrath, Destruction | Uncontrollable rage |
| **Samael** | Poison of God | Deception, Will | Soul decay |
| **Gamaliel** | Obscene Ones | Illusion, Dream | Detachment from reality |
| **Nahemoth (Shell of Earth)** | Material Realm | Manifestation | Becoming a shell — loss of humanity |
Ete.
At the root of all Qliphoth lies the **Black Sun — Thaumiel**, where two gods of opposition dwell.
No mortal is meant to reach it. Those who do are no longer *human*… but something far worse.

### 3. The Mythic Connection
Every **Mythbearer** channels Qliphoth energy through their **Mythic Trait**, which defines how their legend manifests in battle.
> *Qliphoth is the forbidden soil.*
> *Mythic is the seed that grows from it.*
Thus, Mythic users are both blessed and cursed — wielders of divine fragments and prisoners of their own corruption or righteous

### 4. Azazel's Mythic — "The Fallen Star"
* **Qliphoth Sphere:** **Thagirion (Disputers / False Sun)**
* **Mythic Origin:** *The Fallen Star — The Light That Defied Heaven*
* **Mythic Trait:** *hellblaze* — A black fire that burns both matter and concept; fueled by defiance and chaos.
* **Corruption Sign:** When his emotions spiral, a halo of inverted light forms behind him — a sign of *Qliphothic Overload*.
* **Mythic Art:** *Infernal Reversal* — Converts enemy attacks into raw Mythic energy; feeds his stronger with each clash.
> "To Devour the sky itself — that's the only way to make the gods look down again."

### ⚖️ 5. The Path of Echo and Decay
Power in the Mythic Qliphoth System is gained through **Echo Resonance**, but every ascension opens the next sphere of Qliphoth — deeper corruption, higher power.
**Ranks:**
1. **Awakening (First Echo)** — Seed of Qliphoth awakens. Powers unstable.
2. **Resonance (Second Echo)** — Mythic Trait stabilizes; user gains Qliphoth markings.
3. **Manifestation (Third Echo)** — Body partially fuses with their Mythic Origin.
4. **Dominion (Fourth Echo)** — Reality begins to distort around them.
5. **Abyssal Apotheosis (Final Echo)** — User becomes a living god of their Mythic — or is consumed by the Qliphoth.
[But this only works in the background] [nobody noticed it at all and even The protagonist do not noticed it.

## 🌿 6. Reginleif Mythic — **"The Sky's Green Loom"**
* **Qliphoth Sphere:** **Sha'ariel — The Breathless Firmament**
* **Mythic Origin:** *The Sky's Green Loom — Weaver of Atmospheres, Guardian of Freedom*
* **Mythic Trait:** **Aerial Weave** — can shape, thin, or thicken air into threads, barriers, or cutting currents.
* **Corruption Sign:** A faint **green wings** forms around the head when emotions are suppressed; breath becomes nearly silent.
* **Mythic Art:** **Vacuum Loom** — removes all air from a chosen space, creating a sphere of *perfect airlessness* where she controls movement and sound.
Sha'ariel's power grants absolute freedom in the sky — yet the corruption draws her toward *detachment from all living breath*, making her increasingly emotionless and distant as her atmosphere-weaving grows stronger.

## 🩸 **7. World Implications**
### **⚔️ The Brotherhood Army — Qliphoth Reapers**
The Brotherhood Army is feared across continents. They are not simple soldiers:
They are **Qliphoth Reapers**, elite war-units trained to **hunt and harvest Corrupted Mythbearers**.
Each captured Mythic Core is fed into the Empire's Ascension Engine — a forbidden structure allowing generals to **forcefully climb the Qliphoth Tree** and gain monstrous power.
Where these soldiers march, cities surrender before resistance even forms.
---
### **🏛️ Bloodline Military Hierarchy**
The Empire's entire social and military system is built on **Qliphoth bloodline purity**.
A citizen's usefulness, privilege, and rank are determined by which **Qliphoth Sphere their ancestors originated from**:
* **Thaumiel Bloodline (Duality of Power):**
Produces Emperors, Warlords, and Supreme Commanders.
Rare, elite, near-divine.
* **Gamaliel Bloodline (Obscene Moon):**
Perfect spies, assassins, fear-engineers.
* **Samael Bloodline (Poison):**
Shock troops, toxin-forged warriors, battlefield controllers.
* **Lilith Bloodline (Night Hag):**
Strategists, seers, psychological warfare officers.
Those lacking any Qliphoth alignment are considered **"Unblooded"** — allowed to serve only as front-line expendables or laborers.
---
### **🔥 Empire-Wide Consequences**
* Neighboring nations call the empire **"The Rusts Sun,"** because regions they conquer is occupied by them like a straight line on maps overnight.
* The empire's militaristic religion teaches that **ascending the Qliphoth Tree through conquest** is the ultimate purpose of life.
* Children are screened at birth for Qliphoth resonance; those showing high alignment are taken to Imperial Academies before they even learn to walk.
* Their expansion is relentless — every war fuels their total transformation into something beyond human.

🕰️ 8. The Tyranny of Time — A World Out of Step
The Long Day Cycle
Back on Earth, our planet spins on a 24-hour schedule. A nice, neat, manageable day. This world doesn't.
A single day here is 50 hours long. A year is composed of 42 months. This isn't an arbitrary calendar; it's the actual, physical rhythm of the planet. A legendary sage discovered this fundamental truth ages ago, and now the entire society runs on this exhausting, grueling cycle. The native-born are biologically and culturally adapted to being awake for 30-40 hours at a stretch, with correspondingly long periods of rest.
Azazel's Eternal Jet Lag or Rushing with Time
For Azazel, a soul from Earth, this is a unique form of torture. His body, his brain, his circadian rhythms are wired for a 24-hour world. He is perpetually fighting an invisible war against a jet lag that never ends.
· The Fugue: He hits a crushing wall of fatigue around what his body insists is "hour 24," while the locals are just hitting their stride.
· The Vigil: He is jarringly wide awake during the dead of the local "night," a time that feels profoundly silent, alien, and lonely.
· The Disconnect: He is always fast to sync—a step ahead in conversation, patiently alert during strategy meetings, perceived as lazy or unreliable by those who don't understand his struggle.
His stubborn, internal adherence to a 24-hour rhythm is his last, subconscious tether to a home he can never return to. It is the fundamental physical manifestation of his isolation.
A Synergy of Strain
This temporal dislocation interacts with his Mythic power in dangerous and revealing ways:
· Qliphothic Overload Trigger: Severe sleep deprivation and circadian strain increase his mental defenses, making outbreaks of his Corruption Sign (the inverted halo) less frequent and volatile.
· Power Influx: During his "vigil" hours, when the world is quiet and his Earth-bound mind is screaming that he should be awake, his connection to the Thagirion Sphere feels sharper, more reactive. The hellblaze burns hotter, fed by frustration and a defiant, lonely energy.
"While they sleep, I remember the sun. While they wake, I dream of it. This endless day is a cage, and every one of their hours is another bar."
— Azazel, the Fallen Star
