If you're wondering how the world of Codes and Commands works, here's a quick guide to understand the powers behind the story. You don't have to read it to enjoy the main story, but it might help clear up some questions!
The World of Codes and Commands
In this world, those born with Codes are known as Code Holders. Unlike ordinary people, Code Holders possess a nearly limitless supply of energy, drawn from mysterious Code Crystals they carry,Code crystals can either be like tattoos or a physical thing. These Codes aren't just power sources—they define who they are and what they can do.
Each Code Holder is bound to a specific category, which shapes their powers and the types of Commands they can use:
Attack Category: Their Codes: Some are etched into their skin like living tattoos like lions, arrows, swords, fists, wolves, while others are born with their Code fused into their body as physical artifacts — such as rings, bangles, or blades. These Code Holders specialize in offense, wielding powerful Commands to dominate the battlefield.
Strategic Category: Their Codes appear as numbers on their bodys—symbols of calculation and control. These holders excel in tactics, support, and manipulation.
Defense Category: Their Codes are shaped like circles on their bodys, phoenixes, snakes, shields, and fish—symbols of protection and resilience. These Commanders can shield themselves and others from harm.
Because of the Code Crystal's influence, each Code Holder can tap into high-status and low-status Commands within their category. Their energy supply is vast—using a Command drains only a small fraction, allowing them to wield multiple powerful techniques in a single day without exhaustion.

Hakari's limits-
Hakari, however,His master discovered early in his training that Hakari is only compatible with a fixed set of Commands. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot learn beyond them—whether from Attack, Defense, or Strategic categories.
Unlike Code Holders, Hakari does not possess a Code Crystal. He relies solely on his own stored energy, a limited reserve he must carefully manage.
Energy Usage: Hakari can perform four low-status Commands per day, or alternatively, use one high-status Command per day—never both.
If he uses even a single low-status Command, his stored energy drops too low to attempt a high-status Command afterward without risking death.
A single high-status Command consumes roughly 90% of his energy, while low-status Commands use about 10% each.
This severe energy limitation forces Hakari to be strategic. He chooses commands that best fit the moment—whether it's flying briefly, becoming invisible, sharing his mind silently, or unleashing a flawless sword technique for a limited time.
His high-status Commands are:-
Limit Breaker: Shatters his physical limits, granting lightning speed and an almost unstoppable punch that creates and breaks an infinite force between fist and foe.
Outshine: A mysterious Command whose true power remains largely unknown.
Miracle: Allows Hakari to teleport randomly to escape or reposition—unpredictable and risky.
Why This Matters
Code Holders can command great power with minimal effort, their Crystals granting almost unlimited energy and multiple Commands daily. Hakari's lack of a Code Crystal means every move costs him dearly—he fights not with endless power but with fierce will and careful calculation.
This difference makes Hakari's journey all the more dangerous—and extraordinary.
