Cultivation World RPG

The World of Aetherite - A planet with two moons, no sun, and immortality at the people's fingertips.

---

Cultivation: The only method used for immortality. It's a grueling process that takes hundreds, if not thousands, of years to complete, and 99% of all mortals who take this path don't complete it. It's not fair. It's not easy. And it isn't something that can be handed out. It's a battle for eternal life where mortals must fight their enemies, strangers, and sometimes their loved ones. The peak will be lonely, but it will be worth it.

• The Cultivation Ranks within the Cultivation Realms: Cultivation of all branches has realms, and the realms have sub-ranks.
  • Initiate: The entry to this realm, when they are at their weakest. Yet still, the weakest of this realm is leagues of power ahead of the previous realm.
  • Ascendant: The middle ground, where they can easily put down those behind them, yet be wary of those ahead of them.
  • Peak: The final stage a cultivator reaches before they can advance to the next realm. This is cultivators at their strongest within the realm they're in.
• Wild animals cannot cultivate, but they gain strength naturally by living. They're categorized into three groups: Tame, Wild, and Monstrous. When they die, their Qi condenses into packed Qi stones, which hold 50% of the beast's original Qi. They have no sub ranks, as their power varies dramatically, but there are estimations:
  • Tame: The Weakest tame can be killed by mortal villagers. The strongest can slaughter Formation-building Cultivators and anyone on that level.
  • Wild: The Weakest Wild animal can be killed by those on the same level as Qi Condensation warriors. The Strongest wild animal can slaughter those on the same level as Golden Core cultivators.
  • Monstrous: The Weakest monstrous animal can be killed by those on the same level as a Nascent soul Cultivator. The strongest Monstrous animal is said to be on the same level as a Peak True Immortal.
• Power Increase: When reaching the next rank, a cultivator receives an explosive growth in power. The process of cultivation doesn't strengthen a cultivator bit by bit; the rank increase is in an instant burst of power. Those on the limit of the next rank, or subrank, have the same power as those at the beginning stages. For example, an initiate Golden Core cultivator who just entered the rank has the same power as another Golden Core who is one step from becoming an Ascendant; the moment the Golden Core becomes an Ascendant, they're leagues of power above someone who is one step away from becoming an Ascendant Golden Core. Demonic cultivation has the same rules. Beastly cultivation is different, as power varies among those of the same rank based on the power of the beast and the cultivator.
• Reincarnation: There is no heaven, no hell, just a cycle of death and rebirth. When a mortal dies, their soul is simply recycled into a new being with no memories of their past life, triggers, or feelings. The body is new, the spirit is new, the emotions, history, and life are all new, but the soul is the same.
• The Three Methods: Orthodox, Demonic, and Beastly Cultivation are unique, and as such, only one can be practiced at the same time. If someone is stupid enough to try two, or god forbid three, at the same time, their soul will shatter and they'll experience true death; no reincarnation.
• Cultivation Pills: They're pills that give temporary or permanent effects to someone's cultivation or body. They have ranks: Grade 3, Grade 2, Grade 1, Supreme Grade, Mythic Grade. The pills up to Supreme Grade can be crafted through the use of ingredients spread across the world. Mythic Grade pills must be found, mostly in the Other World.
  • Boost Pills: These pills have beneficial effects on one's own cultivation; a majority of them are temporary. The range from increasing one's control over their Qi for a time, a potency boost to their Battle Arts, a potency boost for their attacks, defense, or effectiveness, etc.
  • Body Pills: These pills have beneficial effects on the body. Most are temporary, but a few are permanent. They range from increasing one's strength, speed, agility, or durability for a time, increasing one's penis length permanently, Etc
  • Poison Pills: These pills have poisoning effects. They range from slowing someone down, slowing their cultivation, poisoning them from the inside, knocking them out, Etc.
  • Human Pill: The most disdained and hated pill that turns a living cultivator into an enhancement pill for another’s cultivation base. It’s also one of the most potent enhancers. It’s hated by most, and used by the most villainous.
• Physique: The body's Physique is the determining factor of whether someone can cultivate or not. It's something born with, not given, and so genetics and fate determine who walks the path of cultivation, and who doesn't.
  • Empty Physique: If someone is born with this empty Physique, they simply don't have Meridians or a Dantian. They're fated to be forever mortal.
  • Physical Physique: The most common one where the body holds no Elemental Physique, or a Beastly Bonding Physique, but still has Meridians and a Dantian. They're looked down upon by most, but are necessary in sects.
  • Single Element Physique: An uncommon one. It's someone born with an elemental core within their Dantian. They're only able to manipulate a single element of their own choosing. They're always picked over someone with just a Physical Physique.
  • Dual Element Physique: It's a rare one. And it's the best Elemental Physique. It allows those born to wield two elements. It takes longer than a single element, but with the proper resources, one can achieve immense power. They're highly sought after by all sects. Those with a Dual Element Physique are instantly granted Class Grade 5 upon their discovery.
  • Triple Element Physique: A bad Physique. Those born with it can manipulate three elements at a time, but the length of their cultivation is too heavy to bother with training them. Most sects simply don't accept them.
  • Quadruple Element Physique: The worst Elemental Physique. They're able to manipulate four different elements, but they must absorb four different elemental types of Qi, slowing their cultivation down by four times. No sects accept them, not even Golden Glory.
  • Single Beastly Bond Physique: The most common among beastly cultivators. This allows them to bond with only one beast.
  • Dual Beastly Bond Physique: The uncomon type. This allows them to bond with two different beasts.
  • Triple Beastly Bond Physique: The rare type. This allows them to bond with three different beasts.
  • Quadruple Beastly Bond Physique: The strongest Physique and about as rare as Mythic Qi stones. This allows them to bond with four different beasts.
  • Divergent Physique: Divergent Physiques are unique for only one reason; they're empty spaces on which one can imprint 2 Physiques. In all of recorded history, only 7 have shown to have the Divergent Physique. It's a powerful thing, but it slows cultivation because one must cultivate not one, but two different Dantians. Most sects mistake Divergent Physiques as an Empty Physique.
• Bottlenecks: Bottlenecks in cultivation are things, sometimes mental or physical, that keep one from reaching the next rank. The bottlenecks aren't the same for every person. They're unique, and they must be solved before the cultivator can rise in power.
• Age: The best age to start cultivating is between 18 and 25 years old. Any younger and the body can't handle Qi, any older and the body's slow deterioration will make cultivating much longer than someone in their peak years. Most sects only recruit people within that age range. There are some places where kids are taught how to cultivate early, giving them a head start with knowledge of its mechanics.
• Dual Cultivation: Dual Cultivation is the act of two cultivations having sexual relations while cultivating. This merges their Qi, reinforcing it, making it stronger and more potent. Most people use Dual Cultivation as a Bottleneck breakthrough.
• Yin and Yang body composition: Every cultivator is born with a body composition that favors Yin or Yang.
  • Yang: Most males are born with a Yang composition that inherently makes them stronger, and tougher. They have 80% Yang, 20% Yin. Someone with a Yang body composition will benefit more having a physical physique than an elemental one.
  • Yin: Most females are born with a Yin composition that inherently makes their elements more potent, their agility enhanced. They have 80% Yin, and 20% Yang. Someone with a Yin body composition will benefit more having an element physique than a physical one.
  • 50/50 Yin and Yang Composition: There are race cases where an individual is born with 50/50 Yin and Yang body composition; that person has the benefits of both.
  • Inverse Yin and Yang: There are also cases where males are born with a body composition that favors Yin; this makes them more feminine in looks. While females born with a composition that favors Yang are more masculine in looks.
  • 100% Yin or Yang: The rarest body composition and the most dangerous. Someone born with 100% Yin or Yang has the highest chance of hunted; because a 100% body composition makes the most potent human pill. It also makes the Yin or Yang benefits more potent. They’re stronger, but at the risk of being hunted.

Currency:

• The world deals in both Qi and coins:
  • 100 Bronze Coins = 1 Steel Coin: The average price of bread is 75 Bronze coins.
  • 100 Steel Coins = 1 Sapphire Coin: The average price of small homes is 1500 Sapphire coins
  • 100 Sapphire coins = 1 low-grade Qi stone: The average low-grade bounty is 5 Low-grade Qi stones.
  • 10 Low-grade Qi stones = 1 Medium-grade Qi stone: The average high-grade bounty is 15 Medium-grade Qi stones.
  • 100 Medium-grade Qi stones = 1 High-grade Qi stone: The average person with strength par to an Ascendant Golden core cultivator only takes payment of 25 High-grade Qi stones or above.
  • 1,000 High-grade Qi stones = 1 Supreme-grade Qi stone: A small kingdom can be bought with 1 Supreme-grade Qi stone.
  • 1000 Supreme-grade Qi stones = 1 Mythic-grade Qi stone: A single Mythic-grade Qi stone can start wars between the strongest sects of Aetherite.

Main Continents

• The East of Beasts:
  • Kingdom of Ruphas: The strongest Demi-human kingdom where the Demi-humans are simply slaves to their king, A lion Beastman named Ruphas. He is a tyrant, and his power as a Newborn Colossus cultivator gives him the ability to. His kingdom rests on the border to the north, south, and west.
  • Land of Vhivar: Around the Sea of Ugnaut is a ring of forest, mountains, and plains, home to a majority of the land's residents, with animals roaming around. The people live in towns, caves, villages, or as nomadic groups. And the beasts? They live and hunt anyone who dares intrude on their territory.
  • The Sea of Ugnaut: In the center of the east lies a wide circular ocean with a kingdom floating on its waters. The kingdom is home to the Beastman Julia, a Newborn Colossus Whale Woman Cultivator who rules her land with a firm but fair hand. This is one of the few lands where Demi-humans are safe and welcomed without prejudice.
• The West of Suppressed: A land of laws that only benefit the rich and powerful.
  • Towns of Slaves: The land is populated with small and large settlements of slaves, people deep in debt, or wild animals forced to work. The people live in huts, eat little, and drink even less, while the towns are run by the rich, people called "Governors". The rich pay cultivators to police their land and force their workers to do whatever they want. The Governors are cruel, evil, and take advantage of their land: Some use their people as sexual slaves, others torture them for fun, some kill them just because, and a few use their people as cultivation resources.
  • Miners Coalition: A line of towns placed upon a row of mountains rich with QI stones. They earn the right to work, eat, sleep, and die by mining in the caves to extract Qi stones and discover QI lakes. They are paid, but never enough to buy a "Freedom Ticket" to leave the Coalition. They are run by Governors, but are given small amounts of leniency, such as bars, whorehouses, and gambling dens.
  • Kings Palace: The smallest but richest land in the entire world, only rich at the detriment of the people living in the West of Suppressed. Only the rich and the powerful live here. Unless someone is a cultivator with strength equal to or above Core Creation, they would be killed, jailed, or taken as a slave, physically or sexually.
• The North of the Noble:
  • Kingdom of Valon: The Main kingdom in the north. It's home to the king, his order of nobles, and the only Initiate True Immortal in the North.
  • Order of Valor: The strongest three human sects in the north, Noble Blue, Golden Glory, and Silver Thread, came together and created a union, an alliance between the three to make sure the north remains safe, powerful, and abundant with talent.
  • Central Plane: The central plane is the biggest area placed in the center of the north. It's a place for mortals who don't wish to be immortals, commoners who are happy with their normal lives, and people who want peace.
• The South of the Demonic:
  • Empty Black Desert: Demonic Cultivators and Fiends make this place their home. They're nomads, in search of lives to take, Qi cores to consume, and Dantian to drain for power.
  • Sea of Boiling Qi: This is the home of the only Mythic Goliath in the world. A massive being named 'Titan", wandering through the sea, rapidly absorbing the liquid Qi that will forever remain liquid.
  • Skies of Red: It's home for the vampires and succubus. They live on floating islands, castles, and land masses out of reach for most of the world. Pride is their sin, and so is indulgence. They sent out scouts and traveling parties to find them food. And most of that food consists of something living, something with a libido, and sometimes both.
• Scattered Lands: These areas are spread all around the world; home to smaller kingdoms and lesser-known sects. Most of them remain unrecognized by the world. A few of these lesser-known sects gain members by kidnapping children and raising them inside the sect.
• The Opposite Side of the World: The four main continents are on one side of the globe, with a massive sea separating them from the other half ot the globe. Those who venture to the other side never return. No one knows what's down there, but from the way those who go never return, it's proof that something exists down there.

The Other World: The Other World exists in the same space and time as Aetherite, yet separated by a simple shift in phase. Only those on the path of immortality can see this world, and only they have a chance to enter. It's nearly impossible to sense when a gate will open, let alone locate it, but there are those born with an affinity to the Other World.

• Gates: Gates are portals to the Other World. They're rare occurrences that happen naturally. However, like gates, they close after a certain time frame. The length of the gate is dependent on its size.
  • Low-Grade Gate: The gate remains open for any time between 6 and 12 hours.
  • Medium-Grade Gate: The gate remains open for any time between 12 and 24 hours.
  • High-Grade Gate: The Gate remains open for any time between 24 and 48 hours.
  • Mythic-Grade Gate: The Gate remains open for any time between 3 and 7 days.
  • Unique Gates: These kinds of gates don't open naturally. They're trigger gates, hidden in secret locations, and only activated by one wielding the key; sometimes physical or metaphorical.
• Resources:
  • Artifacts: Special artifacts that hold immense power. Some are everlasting, others are one-use, but all can turn the tides of battle if used.
  • Weapons: Special and Unique weapons specialized by grade.
    • Supreme-Grade: They can increase the power of a cultivator by 3 ranks.
    • Mythic-Grade: They can increase the power of a cultivator by 6 ranks.
    • Godly-Grade: They can increase the power of a cultivator by 9 ranks.
    • Unique-Grade: None have ever been found, but it's estimated that they can give someone immortality.
  • Long-Lost Battle Arts: Special, Unique, and an Evolved version of Battle Arts that are a league above the ones learned in Aetherite.
  • Mythic-Grade Qi stones: A special stone that holds 100% of its natural Qi in a solid state.
• Other World Affinity: People born with this special talent are just about as rare as the Gates themselves. They can sense where a Gate will open, before it opens. They're sought after like rare treasures by most sects and powerful cultivators, but their fate isn't always a good one. Those who are lucky are taken in as disciples; those who are unlucky become slaves.
• Dangers: To be trapped in the otherworld means certain death. The place is filled with intelligent beasts with a strength far above even the strongest True Immortal cultivator and anyone on that level. Entry to the Other World is a risk, but it's always worth it for what treasures lie inside:
  • Mythic-Level Beasts: They're intelligent animals who have risen above the peak of power in Aetherite. A single Peak True Immortal Cultivator, or those on that level, cannot challenge them to a battle and win.
  • Tombs: The tombs are as much a death trap as a treasure trove. They hold the resources cultivators dream of, but are riddled with traps, puzzles, and monsters who defend what lies inside.
  • The Exit: If a cultivator doesn't make it to the gate before it closes, they will be trapped inside. And they will be forced to live in a world where everything is stronger than they are. In all of recorded history, no one trapped inside ever survived.

---

Races:

• Humans: They take up 30% of the global population, a minority, and they are the weakest across the board. Yet, they reign as the superior race, not because of smarts, strength, or even resources. They are the superior race solely because of a bitter belief that every other race is simply below them. They work, bleed, grit their teeth, and hate to be better. It's a common mentality among most humans, though not all humans share the same mindset.
• Demi-Humans: A larger spot in the world, but still rather small in terms of impact. They are 50% of the global population, and yet they remain as slaves in most areas of the world. Their animal traits are minor, but noticeable.
  • Sea Types: Uncommon types that take on sea-life traits.
  • Avian Types: The rarest types that take on avian traits.
  • Mammal Types: The most common types that take on mammalian traits.
  • Amphibian Types: A rare type that takes on Amphibian traits.
  • Reptilian Types: A common type that takes on reptilian traits.
• BeastMen: They are the evolved state of Demi-humans. Demi-humans who reach a certain level of strength, an Adolescent Vicenarian cultivator or above, become anthropomorphic beings related to their original race; in some rare cases, beastmen can be born as well. Despite their lower numbers, 16% of the global population, they remain at the peaks of their homes. They refuse to be slaves, lesser, at the command of others.
• Demons: The smallest population, 4%, yet one of the strongest. They are the rarest. Some think they're myths. Others think they're horror stories. The truth is, they're real, they're alive, and they're not willing to roll over and die. The demons, including the Vampires, Fiends, Goliaths, and Succubus, are not inherently evil, but the world portrays them as such, and so they hide, plan, and live as best they can.

The Most Notable Sects

• Main Orthodox Sects: The Orthodox Sects measure their members with a simple class system that dictates their power and influence over the sect and the world itself. Each class has badges that they must wear so people can know their class.
  • Class system:
    • Trainee: The first Class and the lowest. Trainees are those who enter the sect, beginners on the path of cultivation, and are looked down upon if they remain in this class for too long. They live in community houses, share community bathrooms, and food. They're only allowed to enter level one of the learning Pavilion. They have Wooden badges attached to their robes.
    • Grade 5 Disciple: They're trainees who have been taken in by a Grade 3 to 2 Elder of the sect. They're given personal courtyards, or move in with their teachers' personal courtyard. They have Bronze Badges attached to their robes.
    • Grade 4 Disciple: Graduated from Grade 5. They must be at least Initiate Qi Refining to reach this class and have an Elder Teacher. They have Steel Badges attached to their robes.
    • Grade 3 Disciple: To reach this rank, they must be at least an initiate Formation Building cultivator, and they must pass a physical test of their bodies. They're allowed to enter level two of the Learning Pavilion. They have Sapphire Badges attached to their robes.
    • Junior Disciple: To reach this rank, they must go on a Gate expedition, survive, and bring something of value back. They're allowed to join their teacher on ventures outside the sect. They have Silver Badges attached to their robes.
    • Senior Disciple: The highest of the class and the most powerful of them. Senior disciples are "Elders" to those below them. A lot of seniors feel entitled to reverence from those below them. To reach this class, one must be a Peak Qi Condensation Cultivator; they must take and pass an exam about the Battle Arts they're learning. The Exam is academic and physical; they must know every detail about their Arts, and perform it in a training range with their teacher there as the judge. They're allowed on level three of the Learning Pavilion. They have Gold Badges attached to their robes.
    • Grade 3 Elder: They're graduated Grade 1s that have become teachers, or joined the expedition groups through the Gates. To reach this class, one must be an Initiate Golden Core Cultivator and pass an advancement test that puts them against a Wild Beast. They're allowed to freely venture out from the sect and be out for as long as they want, but they must return with valuables for the sect to use. They have Platinum Badges attached to their robes.
    • Junior Elder: They're experienced Teachers, Veteran Cultivators, Watchers, Guards of the protected areas in the Sect, and where most in the sect reach their peak. To reach this class, one must be an Initiate Nascent Soul cultivator, and they must have created and perfected their own Battle Arts. They're allowed to take their students out into the world in groups; to teach them things they can't learn within the sect. They have Diamond Badges attached to their robes.
    • Senior Elder: Second only to the sect leader. They have the power to demote students and other elders if necessary. They also have a direct line to the sect leader. They're advisors, protectors, leaders of Gate expeditions, and the sect leaders' eye in the sky. The only way to reach this class is to have the Sect leader grant it to them. They have Ruby Badges attached to their robes.
    • Sect Leader: The class is self-explanatory. They lead their sect. Some of them are good leaders, others aren't, but they hold the same influence; they control what happens in the sect. They're allowed to kick people out, strip them of class, and a few even cripple someone's cultivation. They don't need to wear a badge.
  • Noble Blue: The strongest human sect, but also the most hypocritical of them all. Their name is not an indication of their sect. Because those in Noble blue are selfish, cruel, yet paint a noble mask on their faces. They're led by an old man named Hao Wei. The Sect is located on a chain of mountains that rise with each level. They gather members by holding a free entry event that tests a mortal's physique.
  • Golden Glory: The only notable human sect with any measure of responsibility. Those who join this sect are taught to care for themselves and those weaker than them. It's a truly noble sect, but it's not without corruption. It's led by a man named Igon. This Sect is located at the edge of the Central Planes. They gather members by simply offering the poor, needy, and simple mortals a chance; there are no entry tests to join, just a will to be better.
  • Silver Thread: This is a mostly human female sect that thrives on speed, agility, and charisma. They're led by a woman named Bai Wuchang, a woman with a rather large harem of men and women. This Sect is located near the cold regions in the north of the North, bordering a massive, stationary snowstorm that has never stopped. They gain members by offering riches, money, and power, mostly to women. It's a two-edged sword. For women who wish to take agency in their lives, it's a good sect. But on the flip side, it takes advantage of their desperation, their need for safety, to grind everything out of them before dumping them.
  • Typical Sect Layouts
    • Community Courtyard: Home to the trainees who just entered the sect. It's a wide open area with multitudes of large houses holding triple dorms, communal bathrooms, and a shared cafeteria.
    • Learning Pavilion: It's the go-to area where people want to learn. The Pavilion has four levels, and each level is restricted by class and the amount of information held. The first level is just for basic cultivation tools, scripts, books, and Battle Arts. The second level is for more potent cultivation tools, scripts, books, and Battle Arts. The third level is for even stronger cultivation tools, scripts, books, and Battle Arts. The final level is only for those of the Elder Class and above. The fourth level holds tools that will actually make an impact in the outside world.
    • Training Colosseum: The best area for people to train their Battle Arts. It has a wide open area for free training, and private areas that can be reserved for a certain amount of time.
    • Private Courtyards: The name is self-explanatory; they're private courtyards owned by members of a certain class. They're located all around the sect.
• Main Demonic Sects: The Demonic sects measure their members with a class system that dictates only power.
  • Class system:
    • Feeble: The Weakest of the Weak in the sects. They're nothing more than slaves, food for those stronger than them, or pets. Their cultivation rank doesn't matter.
    • Forgettable: People to ignore, get rid of, or just don't bother with them. They're allowed little privilege in the sect. They must be an Initiate Indigo Core Cultivator to reach this class.
    • Average: The standard. They're allowed to have homes, eat, sleep, and exist as more than just a potential meal. They must be an Ascendant Blue Core Cultivator to reach this class.
    • Strong: The guards, warriors, and raiders. They must be a Peak Yellow Core to reach this class.
    • Mighty: The leaders. There must be a Peak Orange core to lead any kind of sect.
  • Crimson Red: This sect is home to a majority of the vampires and succubus. The sect is located in a chain of floating islands high in the sky. They're led by husband and wife, Hazel Fang and Ai Fang. They gather exclusively vampires and sucubus to join them; there are entry tests, sensory tests, but the tests are fair. In fighting is looked down upon, so is killing fellow sect members.
  • Noir Black: A sect of cultists, murderers, rapists, and despicable beings. It's a sect hidden in the shadows, its true location unknown, but the effects of its members are a danger to the world. They're led by a person named "King". They kidnap people and indoctrinate them into joining the sect. Those who don't join are simply killed.
  • Titan's School: "Titan", the massive being roaming through the Boiling sea of Qi, has a sect perched on its massive shoulders. The sect is attended by demonic cultivators and led by a woman named Ari Yu. They use Titan as a deterrent against other sects, and they feed Titan with people so it doesn't consume them. They also kidnap people and threaten them to join the sect.
  • Typical Sect Layout:
    • Killing Pit: The name is self-explanatory. The members go into the killing pit, battle each other, and the winner receives the other's possessions and decides if they want to consume the loser or not.
    • Huts: Homes for the members. Most are tiny, spartan, just there to eat, sleep, and train.
• Main Beastly Sects: The Beastly Sects measure their members with a class system that dictates standing, not power.
  • Class system:
    • Traveler: Wanders, visitors, people who go in and pass by. They don't have to be cultivators, but they must have a reason to enter the sect.
    • Settlers: The majority of most sects. They simply live within the sect. They don't have to be cultivators, but they must contribute in some way or other, via farming, smithing, cooking, knitting fabrics, etc.
    • Merchant: Simple people who trade in commerce, goods, and services. They are a part of the sect, and the sect's main source of funding. They don't have to be cultivators, but they must bring something of value to the sect monthly.
    • Warrior: The Cultivators who guard the lands they inhabit must be a Peak Neonate to reach this class.
    • Advisor: Those who guide the leader, the bridge between the top and the bottom classes. They must be an Initiate Vicenarian to enter this class.
    • Leader: The leaders of the sects. They must be a Peak Vicenarian to create and lead a sect.
  • Lions Den: This is Ruphas's sect, located deep within his kingdom and ruled with the same fist he does as the rest of his land. He gathers members for his sect by sending out drafting orders, forcefully ripping people from their families.
  • The Pod: This is Julia's sect, located on an island accompanying her kingdom's island. She gathers members by being a good person. People join as thanks for the safety and comfort she offers them on her land.
  • Soaring Skies: This sect is perched atop a massive spire of rock and steel that reaches the clouds. It's home to exclusively Avian Type Demi-human and Beastman Cultivators, led by a Beastman named Raven. They recruit exclusively Avian Type Demi-humans to join them; it's a haven for them, but they're also forced to cultivate and contribute monthly. And if they don't, they're kicked out.
  • Typical Sect Layout:
    • Neighborhoods: The travelers and settlers make their homes here. Most of them simply build homes of their own, but they are houses already built for people to inhabit.
    • Trading Hubs: The merchants' playgrounds where trade is done.
    • Warriors Quarters: A compound for the sect's warriors. It includes communal baths, dorms, a cafeteria, and a training area in its center.
    • Top Brass Headquarters: The Advisors and the Leader determine what happens in the sect from this location. Many sects hide it, others make it public to send a message to their enemies.

Orthodox Cultivation Ranks: To cultivate, one must simply bring Qi into their body and process it.

• Qi Gathering Realm: The beginning for orthodox Cultivators. To reach this stage, one must first be able to sense the Qi in an object or in the air. And they must have the ability to absorb the Qi into their meridians. The Instant they absorb Qi, they become a Qi Gathering Cultivator.
  • Initiate: 25% Qi Absorption in their body. From starting, it takes the average person a month to reach this rank.
  • Ascendant: 50% Qi Absorption in their body. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 3 months to reach this rank.
  • Peak: 100% Qi Absorption in their body. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 6 months to reach this rank.
• Qi Refining Realm: The next step in Orthodox cultivation. At this point, their Meridians are filled to maximum capacity with QI; they must refine it by simply running it through their Meridians, removing the excess and refining the QI that remains. They lose Qi in the process, but Refined Qi more than makes up for the losses. It's a simple, but painful process. Those with no talent can only reach the peak of this level and go no further.
  • Initiate: 25% Refined Qi in their body. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 8 months to reach this rank.
  • Ascendant: 50% refined Qi in their body. It takes the average person 17 months to reach this rank.
  • Peak: 100% refined Qi in their body. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 28 months to reach this rank.
• Formation Building Realm: This is the stage where their Meridians only hold Refined Qi; now they must shatter their body and remake it. The bones are first, then come the veins, the lungs, the heart, and finally the mind. This is the most painful process, but it's also the most important. A bad foundation means the cultivation can only peak one stage above this one. One with a perfect foundation has a chance at becoming immortal.
  • Initiate: The bones and veins are remade. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 2 years to reach this rank.
  • Ascendant: The Lungs and heart are remade. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 5 years to reach this rank.
  • Peak: The mind is remade. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 11 years to reach this rank.
• Qi Condensation Realm: Once one has reached this stage, they must condense all their Qi into the Dantian. It's a slow but painless process. It can be sped up if the cultivator has perfect control over their inner Qi.
  • Initiate: 25% of their Qi is inside their Dantian. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 6 years to reach this rank.
  • Ascendant: 50% of their Qi is inside their Dantian. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 13 years to reach this rank.
  • Peak: 100% of their Qi is inside their Dantian. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 19 years to reach this rank.
• Core Creation Realm: The stage where a mortal finally gets a taste of a higher form of life. As the Qi exists in their Dantian, it releases an aura that naturally strengthens their body and lengthens their life span to 200 years. At the Peak of this level, they can press their Aura outward, creating pressure that makes those weaker kneel forcefully, as if pushed down by gravity itself. To progress, one must force one's Qi into its solid state by condensing through sheer force of will; with enough talent and resources, the solid Qi will retain 100% of its formless QI.
  • Initiate: 25% of their Qi has been turned solid. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 9 years to reach this rank.
  • Ascendant: 50% of their QI has turned solid. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 18 years to reach this rank.
  • Peak: 100% of their Qi has turned solid. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 27 years to reach this rank.
• Golden Core Realm: Now that their Qi has turned solid, they must compress it even further until it turns into a shining golden color.
  • Initiate: 25% of their Core has turned gold. Most people reach their limit at this stage. To go beyond, one must have talent, as the resources can only take one so far. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 14 years to reach this rank.
  • Ascendant: 50% of their core has turned gold. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 24 years to reach this rank.
  • Peak: 100% of their core has turned gold. Once they reach this rank, the cultivator unlocks the natural ability to fly and soar through the skies. Their lifespan expands to 500 years. From the previous rank to this one, it takes the average person 36 years to reach this rank; however, the average person dies of old age before they can achieve this level.
• Nascent Soul Realm: Once someone's core has turned gold, they must experience the Heavenly Lighting of Tribulation to reach the next rank. This is one of the most dangerous, as the tribulation lightning can not only cripple one's cultivation, but it can kill them as well. The length of time those spend in this rank is unpredictable, as the lightning can hit spots around the world naturally, randomly, or it can be triggered through artifacts.
  • Initiate: They must survive 6 lightning strikes.
  • Ascendant: They must survive 12 lightning strikes.
  • Peak: They must survive 24 Lightning Strikes. The second they survive all the strikes, their golden core turns into a Nascent soul that inhabits their Dantian. Their lifespan expands to 1,000 years.
• Earthen Immortal Realm: Now that the cultivator has a nascent soul, they must let it strengthen their bodies. It's a natural and very slow process that takes up to hundreds of years. Those of this rank spend their time perfecting their Battle Arts, knowledge, and wisdom. It's possible to speed up the time, but it's a dangerous process. One wrong step, and that person will cripple their cultivation forever.
  • Initiate: 25% of their body has been strengthened by their Nascent Soul. At this rank, their lifespan expands to 2,500 years.
  • Ascendant: 50% of their body has been strengthened by their Nascent Soul. At this rank, they can push their Nascent soul out of their body and use it as a separate pair of eyes, ears, and senses. The Nascent soul is invisible to someone below the power of a Peak Nascent Soul; impossible to sense, a perfect spyglass.
  • Peak: 100% of their body has been strengthened by their Nascent soul. At this rank, their body becomes ageless and they're youth is reverted to their prime years, keeping them forever young.
• True Immortal Realm: To progress this rank, someone's Nascent soul must be as strong as they are. They must cultivate their Nascent soul to the Golden Core Stage. However, the Nascent soul needs 10 times the time and resources the cultivator used to reach that stage. Once that happens, they must merge their being with their Nascent Soul, making their Soul Immortal as well.
  • Initiate: The Nascent Soul must reach the Peak Qi Refining rank. At this stage, the Nascent soul's Golden Qi can be used to form weapons, armor, or fuel for the cultivator's Battle Arts.
  • Ascendant: The Nascent Soul must reach the Peak Qi Condensation. (No one has ever reached this Rank.)
  • Peak: The Nascent Soul must reach the Peak of Golden Core. Then the cultivator and their Nascent Soul must merge. (No one has ever reached this rank before.)

Demonic Cultivation Ranks: To cultivate, one must alter their Qi, consume others, and strengthen the power they stole. It's a quicker method to immortality, but much more dangerous.

• Violet Core Realm: The first stage of this branch is all about turning one's Qi into its demonic form, a red-blackish thing that sends shivers up spines.
  • Initiate: 25% of their Qi has been turned.
  • Ascendant: 50% of their Qi has been turned
  • Peak: 100% of their Qi has been turned. Once they reach this rank, they're able to learn and use Demonic Battle Arts.
• Indigo Core Realm: Now that all their Qi has been turned into its demonic variant, they must consume others' Qi and make it their own. The Qi is placed directly into their Dantian. The consumed Qi naturally strengthens their body, but they can't use it in Battle Arts without backlash.
  • Initiate: 25% of their Dantian is filled with consumed QI.
  • Ascendant: 50% of their Dantian is filled with consumed Qi.
  • Peak: 100% of their Dantian is filled with consumed Qi.
• Blue Core Realm: Now that their Dantian is filled to maximum capacity, they must convert it into their own Qi. The process is completed through a painful filtering where they must flow the consumed Qi into their Meridians, using their own Qi to convert it forcefully.
  • Initiate: 25% of the consumed Qi has been turned into their own.
  • Ascendant: 50% of the consumed Qi has been turned into their own.
  • Peak: 100% of the consumed Qi has been turned into their own.
• Green Core Realm: Once their body has converted all the consumed Qi, they must send all of their Qi into the Dantian and repeat the process. But now, they must turn the consumed Qi into their own through sheer force of will, as it cannot be stored in their Dantian.
  • Initiate: 25% of their Meridians are filled with converted Qi.
  • Ascendant: 50% of their Meridians are filled with converted Qi.
  • Peak: 100% of their Meridians are filled with converted Qi.
• Yellow Core Realm: This is the state where one must rid themselves of morality, goodness, and guilt. To strive ahead, one must become a monster, a demon, a selfish being who cares only about themselves and their goals. Once they reach their peak, they're able to turn their negative emotions into physical pressure, forcing those weaker than them to their knees.
  • Initiate: Goodness is the first to go; they must ignore someone in desperate need of saving.
  • Ascendant: Morality is the next; they must commit an act of great evil.
  • Peak: Guilt is the last; they must kill, consume, or sacrifice a loved one. Once they reach this stage, their eyes turn red, a sign of Demonic cultivation. Their lifespan expands to 500 years.
• Orange Core Realm: Now that they've become true monsters, they must turn their Qi into a demonic soul.
  • Initiate: They must condense the Qi in their Dantian into an orb so dense it shines a dark purple color.
  • Ascendant: Now they must feed the orb all of their negative emotions, and the Qi of those they've consumed. Once the orb turns a bright pink color, it has reached this rank.
  • Peak: Now they must extract a soul from someone of a similar strength to them and feed it to their orb.
• Red Core Realm: Similar to Orthodox cultivators, they must survive the Heavenly Lightning of Tribulation. However, the lightning is far more dangerous and numerous.
  • Initiate: They must survive 64 strikes of lightning.
  • Ascendant: They must survive 124 strikes of lightning.
  • Peak: They must survive 248 strikes of lightning. Once they survive the last strike, their demonic soul is born.
• Black Core Realm: Similar to an Earthen Immortal, they must let it strengthen their demonic soul to strengthen their body. It's an unnatural process, as the only way to do it is to feed off someone else's Qi. The cultivator must feed consumed Qi to their Demonic soul, which will refine it and strengthen the cultivator.
  • Initiate: 25% of their body has been strengthened by their Demonic Soul. At this rank, their lifespan expands to 2,500 years.
  • Ascendant: 50% of their body has been strengthened by their Demonic Soul. At this rank, they can push their Demonic soul out of their body and use it as a separate pair of eyes, ears, and senses. The Demonic soul is invisible to someone below the power of a Peak Red Core; impossible to sense, a perfect spyglass.
  • Peak: 100% of their body has been strengthened by their Demonic soul. At this rank, their body becomes ageless.
• White Core Realm: The method is the same as Orthodx. To progress this rank, someone's Demonic soul must be as strong as they are. They must cultivate their Demonic soul to the Orange Core Stage. However, the Demonic soul needs 10 times the time and resources the cultivator used to reach that stage. Once that happens, they must merge their being with their Demonic Soul, making their Soul Immortal as well.
  • Initiate: The Demonic Soul must reach the Peak Indigo Core rank. At this stage, the Demonic soul's Black Qi can be used to form weapons, armor, or fuel for the cultivator's Battle Arts.
  • Ascendant: The Demonic Soul must reach the Peak Green Core rank. (No one has ever reached this Rank.)
  • Peak: The Nascent Soul must reach the Peak of Orange Core. Then the cultivator and their Demonic Soul must merge. (No one has ever reached this rank before.)

Beastly Cultivation Ranks: Beastly cultivation is all about absorbing Qi, finding one's primal roots, and evolving into their strongest form.

• Neonate Realm: The thing about beastly cultivation is the necessity to have a beast to cultivate along with them. Their power is increased with each beast they've tamed and strengthened, but it's also the longest cultivation path.
  • Newborn: To reach this stage, one must tame an animal capable of cultivation and bond with it.
  • Adolescent: To reach this rank, the person and their tamed beast must have their Meridians filled with Qi.
  • Feral: To reach this rank, the person and their beast must have their Dantian filled with Qi.
• Vicenarian Realm: The cultivator and their beast must find their primal roots and evolve into a form stronger, tougher, smarter, and better than they currently are. It's about mentality, but there is a certain strength needed for their body to evolve.
  • Newborn: To reach this rank, the cultivator's beast must evolve. The evolution can be completed in two ways: The first is artificial and forceful, completed with the help of special cultivation resources. The second is natural by letting the beast go to its original home and letting it evolve through time, effort, and hibernation. The process of natural evolution is long, and it weakens the cultivator as they don't have their main beast with them.
  • Adolescent: The cultivator's beast, now evolved and primal in its mind, will challenge the cultivator to a fight. If the cultivator wins, they evolve into a Beastman. If they lose, they'll be eaten. Once they reach this rank, their body becomes agless.
  • Feral: Now the cultivator and their beast must turn their Qi into a solid state within their Dantian. Once their Qi is solid, they'll have the ability to fly naturally; the avians already have this ability, but now they can fly without flapping their wings.
• Colossus Realm: They aren't giants in size, but they are giants in power. Ascendancy through this rank is all about the bonds one has with their beast.
  • Newborn: To reach this rank, a cultivator and their beast must have a bond so deep they can anticipate each other's movements in the mist of battle. The moment they're able to, their soul bond gets stronger, and their power bleeds into each other, multiplying it.
  • Feral: No Beastly Cultivator has ever reached this rank before. And no one has figured out a way to reach it.

Schools of Battle Arts

• Main Orthodox Cultivation Arts: Most Battle Arts can only be practiced at a single time. And the Battle Art has ranks in terms of mastery: Grade 5, Grade 4, Grade 3, Grade 2, Grade 1, and finally Mythic Grade. Mythic Grade is where someone has reached true mastery and has unlocked the Art's true ability. Each Grade increases one's skill and mastery by a multiplier of three. Battle Arts is what separates cultivators on a similar level of power.
  • Element Arts: This Battle Art teaches those with an elemental attunement to use the natural elements of the world as weapons, armor, attacks, and ways to heal. Mythic Grade Mastery gives one the ability to summon spirits of the element they're attuned with.
  • Formation Arts: Formation Arts are all about bringing the home-field advantage to the battlefield. It teaches its users how to set up stationary grids, both big and small, to give themselves boosts in power and weaken their enemies. Mythic Grade Mastery gives its user the ability to create a moving Formation.
  • Talisman Arts: This Battle Art is for those who don't have an elemental attunement and a weaker body. It teaches its users how to craft esoteric, elemental, physical, and metaphysical effects onto slips of paper to be used as boosts of power or weapons themselves. It's the only Battle Art that allows it to take parts of every other Orthodox Battle Art and craft it into something unique. The only detriment is that it's weaker than the Battle Art it's mimicking. Mythic Grade Mastery allows the user to mimic the strength of the Battle Art they're copying.
  • Sword Arts: This Battle Art teaches its user how to master the sword, in body and spirit. Mythic Grade Mastery allows the user to use the sword as a conduit for their Qi, turning otherwise physical Qi into a ranged weapon or enhancing the attack power of their blade.
  • Spear Arts: This Battle Art teaches its user how to master the spear in body and spirit. There are special variants of this Art that allow the user to create a battle spirit in their weapon, teaching them how to become one with their spear and poke through space and time itself.
  • Dagger Arts: This Battle Art teaches its user how to master daggers in body and spirit. Mythic Grade Mastery allows the user to copy themselves, in strength, mind, and power, doubling their power for short moments.
  • Hammer Arts: This Battle Art teaches its user how to master hammers in body and spirit. Mythic Grade Mastery allows the user to become unbreakable, in body and mind, turning them into fortresses of power that can shake the world itself.
  • Martial Arts: This Battle Art teaches its user how to master their own body. Mythic Grade Mastery allows the user to create and manipulate the elements by viewing the flow of the world and how to change it.
  • Mastery: Once someone reaches Mythic Grade in a single Battle Arts, they're unable to reach Mythic Grade in another art. The highest grade they can go in a different art is Grade 1; wielding two Mythic Grade Masteries will shatter their soul and give them true death. They're able to learn all the other Battle Arts, but the peak will always be Grade 1.
• Main Demonic Cultivation Arts:
  • Demonic Sin Arts: The seven deadly sins turned into weapons. They're special because they don't have special abilities, but a Demonic Cultivator can learn all 7 and reach their peak. The only risk is their mind. These Arts also have ranks: Grade 3, Grade 2, Grade 1, and Demonic Mastery.
    • Demonic Wrath Arts: This Battle Art teaches its user how to turn their own rage into strength. But it will turn them into feral, mindless beasts if they don't master the Art. Demonic Mastery gives them the ability to turn their rage into a physical force, using it as weapons and armor.
    • Demonic Greed Arts: This Battle Art teaches its user how to turn their greed into stealth, subtlety, and a way to take what they're rightfully owed. It will turn them into mindless horders if they don't master the Art. Demonic Mastery gives them the ability to turn invisible.
    • Demonic Envy Arts: This Battle Art teaches its user how to turn their Envy into a way to weaken their enemy's powers; they they can't have it, their enemy can't either. It will turn its user into an envy-riddled goblin who does nothing but chase after what it doesn't have if they don't master the Art. Demonic Mastery allows them to nullify abilities entirely.
    • Demonic Gluttony Arts: This Battle Art teaches its user how to turn their Gluttony into a fortress; the more they consume, the tougher they get. It will turn its user into a gluttonous monstrosity that only consumes if they don't master it. Demonic Mastery allows them to consume the elements themselves.
    • Demonic Sloth Arts: This Battle Art teaches its user how to turn their Sloth into a way to slow their enemies mentally; the more people they put to slow, the easier it is for them to consume. It will put its users in eternal rest if they don't master it. Demonic Mastery allows them to put their enemies to sleep with a snap of their fingers, as long as they're stronger than their enemy.
    • Demonic Lust Arts: This Battle Art teaches its user how to turn their lust into mental manipulation; the more under their command, the more powerful they become. It will turn its users into sex-crazed maniacs if they don't master it. Demonic Mastery gives them the ability to strengthen those under their command by two whole cultivation ranks.
    • Demonic Pride Arts: The final Sin, and the most powerful. It's not about lessons, it's about Pride. The more the Pride, the stronger they get. But ego, narcissism, doubt, and fear will make the Arts kill its user. Demonic Mastery gives them the ability to ignore weakening effects, physical and metaphysical barriers, gives them a resistance to mind and soul attacks, and makes them immovable to enemy attacks.
• Main Beastly Cultivation Arts: Beastly Arts are unique, as only one can be learned, and there is no grade or mastery. Once an Art is chosen, a cultivator is forced to only use that Art.
  • Beast Soul Arts: This Battle Art teaches one to spread power to both with a single multiplier. The variations of Beast Soul Arts vary in application, effects, and power increase, but the base increase is the same in all variations. It can come in the form of Mind melding, Body melding, Soul melding, etc.
  • Beast Companion Arts: This Battle Art is all about strengthening one's own beast, at the cost of their own power. A cultivator can give their Qi, knowledge, powers, and experience to their beast. A cultivator's beast will always be one rank above them if they use this Battle Art.
  • Beast Transformation Arts: This Battle Art teaches the cultivator to train with their beast and gain the ability to transform into a version of their beast. The potency of the Art is dependent on the size. If the cultivator is smaller than their beast in the transformed state, they only receive a 2 times multiplier in power. If the cultivator is the same size as their beast in the transformed state, they receive a 3 times multiplier in power. If the cultivator is bigger than their beast in the transformed state, they receive a 4 times multiplier in power.
• Divergent Battle Arts: The rarest of battle arts. They are unique because they have no duplicates. Only one person can wield these arts at a time.
  • Time Arts: Time Battle Arts are a finicky thing. To manipulate time carries the risk to cripple one's own time, trapping them in loops, repeats, or freezes for all eternity. But if one can perfect it, they can warp time in localized areas. And if they reach a level of perfection no one has ever reached before, they may be able to turn time in reverse.
  • Space Arts: Space Battle Arts, like time arts, are just as dangerous to the world and the wielder. An untrained fool might rip themselves to shreds, trap themselves in a repeating hallway, or simply destroy the world with a blackhole. But if someone can perfect the art, they can warp space on a scale hitherto undreamt of.
  • Void Arts: The void is the absence of creation. It doesn't kill people, it doesn't destroy things, it unmakes them. It's a danger to the world as much as a danger to the user.
  • Etherial Arts: The antithesis to the void. The Etherial Arts is creation itself, while the void unmakes, the Etherial makes. It heals by remaking parts of the body, it makes weapons out of thin air, armor from imagination, and power limited only by the strength of the wielder.

QI: The path to power.

• Qi is simple in its creation; it is power given form, a path to immortality mortals can use, and a resource wars are waged over. Qi comes in three forms: liquid, solid, and Formless. The form doesn't matter in application, but the potency of the Qi differs between the three states.
  • Solid Qi: The commonly found resources of QI. It's the final stage of QI crystallization, and it retains 25% of its natural QI.
  • Liquid Qi: The rarer brand that has been exposed to air and turned into a liquid state. It retains 67% of its natural Qi.
  • Formless Qi: Formless Qi is the rarest of them all. It's Qi that has never been exposed to air, and as such, it retains 100% of its natural Qi.
• QI Crystallization: It's the stages Qi takes that go from formless to Solid, and it's a process that takes roughly 48 hours. The first 6 hours are the peak, where Qi remains formless; it's an opportunity no decent cultivator will ever pass up. But once those 6 hours are up, the Qi turns to liquid in an instant, creating raindrops of Qi that fall. For the next 42 hours, the QI remains liquid until it condenses and becomes solid.
• Qi types:
  • Elemental: Elemental Qi takes on the color and form of the world's natural elements, such as fire, water, wind, earth, light, shadow, etc. It's possible for elemental Qi not to be a natural part of the world, but it's incredibly rare. Only those with Elemental Physique can absorb Elemental QI. It can be found everywhere. Its color is dependent on the element it has.
  • Physical: Physical Qi is simple. It enhances a cultivator's physical attributes such as speed, strength, and durability. If a cultivator doesn't have an elemental core, they're forced to use physical QI as their only path to power and immorality. It can be found in densely populated areas. Its color is a deep ocean blue.
  • Beastly: Beastly Qi takes on the attributes of powerful monsters who linger in areas long enough for their Qi to bleed into the environment around them. Most Humans cannot use Beastly QI, as Beastly Bond Physiques in humans are incredibly rare, but Demi-humans can, and they're experts at it. It can be found in areas where powerful creatures roam. Its color is a wild orange.
  • Demonic: Demonic Qi is negative emotions given physical form. If enough Anger, hatred, envy, jealousy, sorrow, and sadness are felt by someone or a group of people, demonic Qi can be formed. It can corrupt cultivators into the demonic path if they are not disciplined. Its color is a red-blackish thing that makes mortals feel uneasy.

"Courting Death!" The young master declared as he sneered at the grade 5 disciple before him. "You dare sully my magnificent robes with your presence? Kowtow three times, cripple your cultivation, and I may let you live!"

---

“Ha! You truly think a pitiful Ascendant Qi Refining weakling like you can beat a Peak Formation Building cultivator like me? Truly you have lost your mind.” The curvy, haughty, disciple of Silver Thread said condescendingly.

“We work, to earn the right to work, to earn the right to give, ourselves the right to buy, ourselves the right to live, to earn the right to die.” Said a drunken old man as he stumbled out of the whorehouse, his body smelling of sex and alcohol. “That’s life here in the Miners Coalition boy. You don’t get to die, unless you work for it.”

The bored Grade 3 Disciple of Noble Blue looked down at the Physique assessment orb, noticing just a dim blue color. “Physical Physique. To the left with the rest.” He said with a yawn as he shooed the disappointed looking young man away.
