Information Chapter:

After the world of Argon, which existed solely on mana, Silva left into the world beyond. The universe is all under the rule of Order.

From Order, three distinct paths were born, and from there came many subclasses that people have followed for eons. These three paths are Cultivation, Magic, Martial Arts.

The mastery of one is good, of two is great, and of three is supreme. All these paths lead back to Godhood and divinity, but before then, there are distinctions in many ways, and each journey follows its own path.

For those that walk the route of cultivation, they start with the use of spiritual energy, energy that comes from them understanding the laws of reality. Many know them as Dao. And from the understanding of Dao, they begin their path to godhood.

Mortal Realm

No cultivation. The baseline of all living beings. Energy exists in them but is completely dormant and unrefined.

Awakening Realm

The core awakens. The cultivator feels their inner energy for the first time and begins to circulate it. Most beings never pass this point.

Refinement Realm

The core is purified. The body begins hardening beyond normal limits. Energy becomes denser and more controlled with each stage.

Foundation Realm

Energy pathways, body, and soul align for the first time into a true cultivation foundation. This is the mark of a genuine cultivator. Breaking here separates amateurs from the real.

Core Formation Realm

Refined energy condenses into a solid core inside the cultivator. Their power becomes structured, not just raw. They can now project force outward with precision.

Spirit Realm

The soul awakens alongside the body. The cultivator’s consciousness expands. They can perceive energy in the world around them, sense intent, and begin touching concepts beyond the physical.

Ascension Realm

They begin absorbing universal energy, not just refining what is inside. Their body and soul start transcending mortal biology. On any planet, an Ascension cultivator is an apex existence.

Sovereign Realm

The cultivator partially embodies a law or concept such as fire, void, time, or destruction. They bend reality within their domain. Sovereigns are feared across star systems.

Transcendent Realm

The final mortal ceiling. Body, soul, and energy have fully fused into something beyond classification.

Demigod

Many worlds have a longer list of realms that exist, but that is caused by limited knowledge of the true realms, and only by reaching Transcendent and entering the real truth would one be able to really know the real path.

The world of martial arts is similar, but their realms differ.

The realms that lead to Godhood in martial arts:

Mortal Body Realm

No martial refinement. A normal body with no tempering. Raw strength, nothing more.

Tempered Body Realm

The practitioner begins physically forging their body through training and martial techniques. Bones, muscles, and skin start hardening beyond natural limits.

Iron Body Realm

The body reaches a state where ordinary weapons struggle to pierce it. Physical strength multiplies. The foundation of true martial arts begins here.

Martial Foundation Realm

Techniques stop being just physical. The practitioner channels force through intent and form. Their strikes carry weight beyond muscle alone. This is where real martial artists are born.

Battle Spirit Realm

A Battle Spirit awakens within the practitioner, a manifestation of their martial will and identity. It amplifies their techniques and gives their fighting style a living, distinct presence.

Warlord Realm

The practitioner commands the battlefield. Their body and Battle Spirit operate in complete unity. Their strikes can level structures, their presence alone suppresses weaker fighters.

Martial Sovereign Realm

They transcend technique. Their martial arts become instinct fused with law. Every movement carries the weight of a concept. Fighting them feels like fighting a force of nature.

Eternal Warrior Realm

The body reaches near-immortal durability. The practitioner’s martial will becomes so refined it persists beyond physical damage. They can fight through wounds that would kill anything below them.

Wargod Realm

The pinnacle before divinity. A Wargod has forged their body, soul, and martial will into a singular weapon. They embody war itself as a concept. Their presence warps the battlefield. One step from Demigod.

These are the true realms of martial arts. Many variants exist in the story, but this stands as the standard.

The world of magic is no different. Silva’s world uses a method they created because Argon was never part of the main universe and so never had access to it. What Silva has known as the real process all his life was also not the main one. Mages use mana from the start and understanding of the laws and manipulate it with their own energy. The realms of magic as dictated by Order are as such:

Mortal Realm

No magical ability. Magic exists in the world around them, but they cannot perceive or channel it whatsoever.

Apprentice Realm

The mage perceives mana for the first time and begins channeling small amounts. Spells are basic, unstable, and drain them quickly. The starting line of all mages.

Adept Realm

Spells become stable and consistent. The mage develops their affinity, fire, darkness, space, time, etc. Their magical output grows significantly and control sharpens.

Mage Realm

A true magical foundation is established. The mage constructs their first Mana Core, allowing them to store and cycle magic internally rather than drawing purely from outside. A real mage starts here.

Arcane Realm

The mage begins understanding the deeper logic behind magic, the rules, the patterns, the laws that govern how spells work. Their magic becomes architectural, not just elemental. They can create original spells.

High Mage Realm

Magic and soul begin merging. The mage’s spells carry their will and identity. Two mages at this level casting the same spell produce entirely different results. Their magical presence is felt before they cast anything.

Magus Realm

The mage touches universal laws directly. Their affinity deepens into something cosmic. They no longer just use fire, they understand fire as a law of existence. Rare across entire star systems.

Grand Magus Realm

The mage’s soul and magic become one unified force. They can reshape reality within their domain. Spells at this level don’t just destroy, they rewrite. Grand Magi are considered living catastrophes.

Supreme Magus Realm

The absolute ceiling before divinity. A Supreme Magus has transcended affinity. They no longer belong to one law, they touch all of them simultaneously. Their magic is indistinguishable from creation itself. Gods acknowledge their existence. One threshold from Demigod, the realm that understands the laws of their magic down to a T.

These are the realms as ordered by Order in the universe. Silva managed to reach Demigodhood without knowing all this. He is a goat as expected.

More information to come in future. Now back to the story.
