[this is just a run down of how the book goes, the system at which thee chapters are drilled in . Though might contain little spoiler but just... have a glance]
After the bloodbath—or the Purge, as some would call it—everything changed. The world became different, split apart, and almost thrown into chaos.
The only thing that held it together was the System—a structure created to preserve what remained, to protect the surviving people, and to guide whatever was left.
The bloodbath, though lessened by the sacrifice of a once-great Omega, still had a devastating effect on the part of the world it touched. It left the Pure ruined, tore the Broken apart, and then gave birth to the Unholy—Demons.
The Pure were changed into something else—cursed to live for eternity but never able to truly taste anything again except blood. Never to see sunlight, and only able to die if their hearts were ripped out or plunged.
They were called Vampires.
The Broken were completely torn apart. They acted purely on rage, driven by anything fresh—flesh and blood. They spread sorrow and fed on a person's darkest and most tormented memories.
They were called Dementors.
Then there were the Unholy—cursed to become Demons, ruled by Hades himself as they dwelled in the underworld. They were held back by the forces created by the Great City, but still, they could be set free whenever there was any fault in the System.
They were called Demons.
The Great City—this was one of the largest cities that had survived the bloodbath. Apart from its advanced technology, it had a strict hierarchical power structure, from the lowest ranks to the leaders. There were seven levels in total.
Creche
Xenon
Accrehx
Alpha
Omega
White elders
The Sentinel
These levels are determined by tournaments. After training, one will enrol to become a Jedi.
Jedi; are those sworn to protect the Castle and its people, known for their deep connection to the mystical energy field called the Azrax.
They are often portrayed as peacekeepers, protectors, and spiritual warriors who fight for justice. They are the soldiers who defend both the Castle and the City.
To become a Jedi, one must pass the tournaments, which consist of two rounds.
The Arena battles
And the woods hint
Sublevels: These are the stages within each level. In the Creche level/rank, there will be a series of missions and training that will help one begin to advance to the next sublevels.
In Creche, there are sublevels like:
Seeker
Hunter
Duke
Marauder
When one completes a set mission given to him, he moves up to the next sublevel and is addressed as a Seeker in that level.
When he destroys a Vamp, depending on the level of that Vampire, he also advances to Hunter. Extra points are awarded when he takes down a Dementor, but when he destroys a Demon, he automatically jumps to the next level.
The Azrax: This is the energy that lives in everyone. It is what channels one's power. However, once you are enrolled as a Jedi, you unlock another part of the Azrax.
Though it lives in everyone, except from those without powers, this part requires Mind Sync Cultivation to unlock. That part of the Azrax is called The Within Beast, and it has two forms.
The Lucent Form: In this form, the beast is seen as though it were a projection—not in its true state—but it mimics and does whatever the Jedi does.
The Real Form: Here, it appears in its true form and has a will of its own, unless the Jedi controls it not to.
The Azrax needs to be tamed and mastered by its Jedi. There are different beasts for different Jedi.
Mind Syncing Cultivation: Except for when advancing into the Creche level, whenever a Jedi is about to advance to the next level—maybe the Xenon rank—he or she undergoes the Cultivation Process, where they recuperate for three days in deep meditation. At that point, he or she is at their most vulnerable.
The Vampires are also classified into levels, depending on how long one has lived and how many Jedi they have captured.
The Vampires are known to use Jedi for their bidding and protection during the daytime. Once they capture a Jedi, they compel him and turn him into a slave.
These slaves are called Outcasts. Vampires that are able to compel people are considered the highest-ranked Vampires. they are ranked thus;
The defiled
The tainted
The ruined
The ryled
And then the Dispirited (able to compel)
When these Vampires are killed, a kernel is earned, and with that kernel, a Jedi advances to a rank or sublevel.
Waithraites: This is what they called the Vamps, the Dementors, and the Demons—a common name for all of them.
Kernel Essence: This is like the complete attribute, rank, and power wielded by the Waithraites. It depends on the rank and level of the Waithraite. When one is killed, a Jedi collects the Kernel, and that is what determines how he moves up to the next level.
There are different kinds of kernel essence depending on the level of the Waithraite killed. They have the.
White kernel
Blue kernel
Red Kernel
Silvered Kernel
Golden kernel and so on since not all of them are discovered yet.
The Demons have ranks as well and require a lot of heads to move to the next levels (Headcount). A Jedi's head—like that of a Creche—is worth two heads, and so on. They are ranked in these levels:
The imp
Tempter
Corrupters
Warriors
Arch demons
Primordial devils
Demon lords
Finally, we have the Lotus. These are the people who, though they live in the Great City, have no concern with its hierarchies. They take no orders from the Sentinels. They only protect what is theirs and fight only for a just cause. They are divided into three:
White Lotus
Red Lotus
Black Lotus
As the ranks go higher, the number of people found within them becomes fewer.
In the Great City, there are six Sentinels, and they are considered the leaders of the Great City. However, among the six, one has the final say—he is like their mind, the top man.
There are only seven White Elders, and in that way, the ranks become fewer as it advances higher.
