Crimsoux: The Supreme Species

In the unimagined future of mankind and the alien race, one particular outcast lives to cause chaos in the two worlds. Then one day, he receives an invite to a school for unique superhumans like himself. But little did he expect that the peculiar dangers of that 'measly' school would deepen his perspective on why it was good to be alive! This is the story of a virtually-immortal man and his journey as he embarks into a realm of devastating anomalies, other unkillable immortals, and a world where the thin line between life and death quickly becomes clearer. ... This is the journey of Earth's special monster, a Crimsoux. *** Most of the early chapters are 2000+ words per chapter, cuz the pacing is kinda slow.

The Current System On Earth, 4026

#This chapter will be updated with the introduction of other hierarchies or terms.#

———

☾☼ Humanity knows of an era, the Evolution-era, where the Earth began mutating as if building itself from the wounds the countless wars and humans have waged on it. Humanity had wanted to leave it to set off to other planets, but they soon encounter aliens as intelligent and destructive, as they were.

The mutating Earth morphed into a bigger and stronger one, trapping both of the intelligent species in it.

The Earth, unfortunately, was now a dangerous, monstrous orb of a planet that was intent on eradicating them. Luckily, they, the two species managed to learn how to harness the power of the Earth's core through automatic, holographic technology that was later dubbed, the ECS (Earth-core System).

☾☼ Abilities: Abilities are special powers that superhumans are able to manifest after reaching level 10. Abilities possess their own individual skills that grant supernatural powers.

There are no standard power classifications of these abilities because of the unpredictable nature of humans. So more may still pop up in the future.

For example, Asher (the MC) soon discovers ability classifications that do not exist in the current Earth's system as he ventures into Ansel Island.

Ability levels are from D, C, B, A, S to SS and have to be levelled up five times before they can advance. e.g from D to C.

☾☼ Shards Of The Universe:

These are mysterious objects that the current Earthlings cannot harness. However, they are Fabled to be responsible for the creation of the universe itself.

— There are five known shards:

•The Shard of Creation.

•The Shard of Destruction.

•The Shard of Destiny.

•The Shard of Chaos.

•The Shard of Soul.

Unfortunately, only the Shard of Destruction has been found and then stolen by a 'mysterious' super... No one really knows what he is.

☾☼ The two main species living on Earth:

•Humans.

•Animats.

—The 'Arcane' title is an unpredictable classification. Arcane superhumans could be powerful, but are generally just considered as harmful due to the nature of their powers.

☾☼ The six rank divisions of superhumans:

•D-rank = level 1- 9

•C-rank = level 10- 19

•B-rank = level 20- 39

•A-rank = level 40- 69

•S-rank = level 70- 89

•SS-rank = level 90- 99

— Level zeros are regular humans in the modern world, although they are still evolved versions of humans before the Earth's evolution and are therefore, stronger.#

☾☼ The nine beast/ Animats grades:

•Unclassified/ Peasant Grade (They have normal human stats, but they can still pose threats to even superhumans because of their unpredictable nature.)

•Animal Grade: Rank 1 (As strong as a level 9 superman.)

•Beast Grade: Rank 2 (level 20 superhuman.)

•Mutant Grade: Rank 3 (level 30 superhuman.)

•Monster Grade: Rank 4 (level 45 superhuman.)

•Demon Grade: Rank 5 (level 55 superhuman.)

•Holy Grade: Rank 6 (level 65 superhuman) {Possesses mild intelligence}

•Mythical Grade: Rank 7 (+ level 75 superhuman.){Possesses adult level intelligence}

•Celestial Grade: Rank 8 (???){These beasts only exist in stories and are fictions created by the pre-evolution humans. But rumor has it, that they had manifested during Earth's evolution and are wondering the Earth, albeit existing in different dimensional planes.}

☾☼ Equipment/ Artifact Grades: Same as the Beast Grades. Equipments are man made, while artifacts are earned as rewards by defeating/ killing beasts.

☾☼Tiers:

Every Equipment/ Artifact Grade have 5 tiers between them and the Grade after. e.g. Tier 1 - 5 Animal Grade before Tier 1 Beast Grade.

☾☼Traits:

These are skills equipments and artifacts posses.

☾☼ Huntsman/ Guilds: Huntsmen are certified individuals who kill beasts for a living. While Guilds are establishments or big groups of Huntsmen.

☾☼ Innerverse/ Dungeon: The best of the best superhumans are able to use their abilities to the point of manifesting their own realms where their powers are absolute. Those realms are called, the Innerverses, or Dungeons.

☾☼ Student levels on Ansel Island:

#Students (Vested ones) are mostly graded based on their functioning in battle, so it is not strange to find a low leveled superhuman in a higher class and vice versa.

•Yellow Vested: Usually C-rank.

•Red Vested: Usually B-rank.

•Purple Vested: Usually A-rank.

☾☼ There are twelve Castellans/ Mayors/ Province Heads on Ansel Island, each of them having powerful assistants of unknown ranks.

☾☼ Castellans can appoint and award special families the title of 'Noble.' The 'Noble' title can also be beared by those who are related to the Castellans through family ties.

— Meanwhile the President and Vice-president can do the same, although those rewarded or related are given the title of 'Royals' instead.

☾☼ Students (Vested) are graded by a credit system and can advance classes by accumulating those credits. For example, by going on missions. These credits are called "Stars".

But a new system is soon put in place under the orders of the Dean to award those credits to anyone on the island and not just students. Those who have accumulated enough credits can also gain previledges and become Nobles as well.

Along with that, a reverse credit system is also made to be given to those who cause trouble on the island. Those who accumulate these reverse credits (Black-Holes) are given bounties instead, to be hunted by the citizens. Although they can also gain previledges if they are able to constantly evade the consequences of authority.

☾☼ Innerverses are like personal dungeons, high leveled humans can use, and some low levels manifest unintentionally before having to conquer.

They function as Superpowered Domains on their own, and only when merged with the Innerverses of others are their true purposes fulfilled. Superhumans that are above a certain level are too strong to fight in the physical plane. This was because the destruction that they could cause could end up being apocalyptic. So they merge their Innerverses during battle to form a Verse.

Verses are new and unique dimensional planes that allows the superhuman powerhouses to fight freely and without holding back.

Still, on their own as superpowered Domains, there are three ways with which a person's Innerverse/ Pocket Dungeon can be used:

First-phase (Create an environment where the user has total control);

Second (Increase the potency and power of the user's ability);

and Third (Joins the qualities of the other phases).

☾☼ Verses are unique places where the transcendent can go all out, and are usually never the same. When the Innerverses of powerful superhumans merge, there was no telling what kind of metaphysical plane would be created.
