In this world, power is everything. Status, life, and even your right to speak—are earned through strength alone.
Only the strong survive.
Tier 1: Mortal Path
The beginning of all things.
Commoners, city guards, and untrained apprentices.
Most die at this level, having never awakened.
Tier 2: Awakened Path
Where the true journey begins.
Entry-level fighters who've awakened their energy: mana, aura, or body qi.
Knights, low-ranking mages, and flesh-refining warriors walk this path.
Tier 3: Core Path
The rise of elites.
Battle-hardened warriors, battlefield commanders, and rising legends.
Aura flows freely. Blades cut steel. Spells level houses.
Tier 4: Transcendents
Beyond the mortal coil.
Beings who defy logic. One alone can slaughter battalions.
Magic bends. Weapons roar. Empires tremble.
There are more tiers beyond even this… but those truths are not yet meant for the weak to know.
