Dream World Info! Part I [Read After Chapter 2 - The Dream World]
Chapter 3:
*I kept my promise this is where I will put every single info about Dream World and its stuff.
if there's something I missed that needs explanation like Dream Stages, which will be here just tell me. ;3*
First Let's talk about the most basic info, The Fate of a Dream Cultivator.
Fate is divided into 6 Important Stats(Or Capabilities and goals):
The Dream(Most Important), Luck(Helps a lot), Potential and Talent, Intelligence, And lastly Spirit.
Now let's move to the explanation!
We got your Dream "That is what you want to do or to be in the future, By setting your Dream you are gifted the 'Dream Path' which will help you achieve that dream in the most efficient and easy way. the First time you get your fate tested you can wish for up to 3 Dreams, and after you finish setting your goals you become officially a 'Dream Soldier', You can wish for whatever you want, like Becoming the strongest in the 'Dream World', the Wealthiest, the Smartest, a Sage, a God, an Alchemist, a Guild Master, a Dimension Holder, Whatever you want." Your Dream is measured by levels, the higher your dream level, the easier your path towards achieving it and the better the rewards.
Then There's Your Luck "If you got a high amount of luck then you can even jump into space without worrying about dying, there's been a case in the 'Dream World' where one person jumped into a 150 km long hole and not only did he survive he also got the legacy of the Immortal Dragon Emperor! He was then named the Lucky Dragon Sissy *cough* *cough*, With great luck, you can suddenly become the richest or find a spaceship with many treasures inside! only your imagination can limit you from thinking about the many benefits luck brings with it! While if you have a small amount, Well, if you even see the light of life... That will be your first... And last miracle..." Luck is also measured by Luck points.
After Luck comes Potential and Talent "By having a high-grade talent and big amount of potential points then you can be sure that as long as you live you will achieve something big, and no one can limit your growth other than yourself, you can achieve what people achieve in Hundred of years in Just a dozen and what they do in a thousand in a few hundreds." Potential is measured by Points, while talent is measured by the following Grades:
[Trash, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Ancient, Legendary, Mythical, Treasured, Bright, Dazzling, Nightmarish, Spiritual, Soul, Bloody, Fragment, Ardent, Devilish, Mecha, Immortal, Saint, Heroic, Demonic, Continental, World, Galactic, Returning, Chaotic, Dimensional, Universal, Cosmic, Fairy, Celestial, Original, Godly]
Which are further divided into:
[Lowest --> Low --> Normal --> Medium --> High --> Highest --> Peak]
*You might ask why are there so many Grades, how were they able to discover them and much more other stuff, first of all, I as an author myself won't be satisfied with just 5 Grades, since it won't be satisfying there won't be much difference between people, but that's something that can be left behind if there's a need but here, it is justified, First of all, this world is huge, does it make sense to you that out of Zentillions of Creatures in an Unimaginable number of Universes, Dimensions, Galaxies, and so on, Only 10 or so Grades and out of 3 Billion Years of Advancement people only knew about as much as what cultivation is...
First of all unlike Earthlings, Humans and other species of other Universes inside the Dream World were created alongside their worlds 3 Billion years ago, unlike Earthlings who only appeared around the Last Minute after the Dream Alliance found them.
and those same Humans struggled for That same amount of time, to reach the apex and stand at the top of the food chain, and fight with and along Naturally Born Monsters of that same World, Species that stand at the top by simply existing... Remember each Race got its specialities, when the Dream Alliance got founded although Humans were at the Top of its Ladders, other Species are also part of it, and they also played a huge role in the advancement of the now Human Ruled Dream World, like deciphering the secrets of Higher Realms, Fragmented Worlds, Dungeons, Rifts, and Natural Laws of Almost Everything from Elements to Life itself, the Ancient Knowledge of Fallen Civilizations, and any many more.
Hmm, dunno how I got here, but Anyways, Many Grades just make sense to me, since the world is huge, and it will only get bigger until the end, Not many more Grades will be found but at least secrets of Hidden Potentials, Like physiques, and Bloodline will be discovered, the way of doing thing and the why they were done of Higher Beings, well there's more to this world than meets the eye, Like waaay more.
Well what I did just makes sense to me, the story still didn't begin tho, The competitions, Explorations, Conquest, Study of Knowledge, Learning new skills, Destroying clans and families, some romance, and although there might be no harem, I can't say Stone or other important characters won't have fun with many members of the 'opposite' gender, my guys there ain't no Simps, but won't be virgins either, not for long.*
Back to our track after potential and talent there's:
Intelligence "Your intelligence plays a big role in your dream, as everyone got different beliefs and a smart person's thoughts are far deeper than a dumb person as if a smart person says I want to become the strongest, for a dumb person it may just mean one thing and that is 'to be able to crush anyone in his way and there to be no one stronger than him' for a dumb person the strongest only applies in physical strength that is true, but not the complete Truth. For a smart person it may mean something else... something way deeper, the smarter you are the deeper your thoughts the easier your life, for a smart person, being the strongest may mean 'to be physically, mentally, spiritually, strong as well as wealthy enough to never require more money and live as long as HE wants and as good as He wants, he can die whenever and however HE wants and no one can do anything about it, and many more, only your intelligence... Only you can limit yourself.' That is what being smart means! everyone got different beliefs and thoughts so being rich doesn't always mean being a millionaire it can also mean having no worries about money and life in general, Millionaire is just the next stage after middle-class." Also measured by points
Lastly Spirit "The Stronger your spirit the longer you last, by lasting we mean following your dreams, there are some people who once they meet any sort of difficulty they give up while some even if the heaven breaks and hell descends, they still continue walking their paths." Spirits are measured by grades the same as Talents.
The total result of all those 6 stats will be your Fate Power.
After one's Fate is tested, one will instantly break the shackles of humanity and become a Dream Cultivator, Exactly a Level 1 Apprentice Dream Soldier.
Dream Cultivator's Stages are many, and not only does one need to cultivate and breakthrough levels by meditating and completing quests to gain experience, but they also need to finish some conditions like taming beasts, forming a dantian, teaching students, forming clans, Insuring the safety of one's clan for at least 1 thousand years, Passing the test to ascend, and many other even harder challenges.
The first Major stage a Dream Cultivator passes through is The Dream Soldier Stage, it is divided into:
Apprentice - Veteran - Skilled - Experienced - Fantastic.
Which are also further divided into 9 levels and the 10th level is considered The Peak of that Minor Stage.
After the Dream Soldier Stage comes the Warrior Stage.
it is also divided into the same Minor Stages as the Soldier Stage.
Next are, the Master and Grandmaster Stages, which are divided into:
New - Veteran - Skilled - Experienced - True - Great - Fantastic.
Then, one becomes an Ancestor once all the conditions are fulfilled.
The Ancestor stage is divided into.
Satisfied - Mortal - Founder - Quasi - Half - Last Step - True - Great - Fantastic.
Right After is the Sage Stage. Its Minor stages are as follows:
New - Educated - Protector - Quasi - Half - Last Step - True - Great - Beyond - (Hidden) - Fantastic.
Once one is satisfied with his mortal life and got no regrets, one can start his journey to ascend into the Fairy World. This Stage is The Ascender Stage, more famously known as The Journey-Man Stage.
A Journeyman doesn't have as many Minor Stages as a Sage, he only got:
Mortal(Can be skipped if one already doesn't have any regrets and is already satisfied) - Satisfied -First Step - Quasi - Half - Last Step - True. Once at the True Stage, one can finally take the Heavenly Test to ascend.
The current Last Stage is the Fairy Stage, Once one becomes a Fairy one can be considered immortal as his lifespan is already over the top, And once dead, One can be revived at the Fairy altar that can be found everywhere on the Fairy Realm.
The Fairy Stage is the kind of stage where one breaks the shackles of mortality and becomes something even greater, and instead of going against Heaven's will, once one becomes a Fairy, one will become favored by Heaven and loved by Earth instead.
So... The Fairy's Minor Stages are many and the conditions to unlock them are Thousand of Times harder! not only are they difficult but they also take time, and they require many resources, knowledge, also experience, a stable mind, a healthy body, and much more...
The Minor Stages are:
Lesser - First Step - Quasi - Half - Last Step - True - Higher - Great - Greater - Noble - King.
and that's the Dream Cultivators Currently Known Stages.
So in general, These are the Major Stages:
Dream: Soldier - Warrior - Master - Grandmaster - Ancestor - Sage - Ascender - Fairy.
So now, let's talk a bit about Talent and Physiques:
Talent is just the speed at which one can cultivate, yes, it may mean many things, like how fast one can learn, or how quickly one can master a technique, as well as, how easily one can live his life in general.
But let's just talk about how quickly one can cultivate.
So, leaving the conditions to break through alone, and the many ways to gain exp to level up, One can also meditate to gain Exp and Dream Energy which will later be the most important thing for a Cultivator.
So in general the higher the grade the faster one can cultivate, so Leaving all of the other stuff behind by just simply cultivating:
The Lowest Trash-Grade Talent would need 100 Years to break through the Dream Warrior Stage, and 97 for Peak Trash.
And from Warrior Stage to Master the time needed is increased by 10 times! but, because one also sets many other dreams, and gets many other ways to gain exp, it can be said to only increase by 5 times, but using the Dream Path to gain exp is also considered one of the other ways, So a Trash-Grade Talent can be considered to need a Thousand-year to breakthrough the Master Stage.
Furthermore, think about it, would a Trash-Grade have enough Fixed Fate Power(explained later, but simply Martial Potential) to reach the Dream Master Stage? The Answer is... Hell Nah! That's close to impossible! there's less than 50% chance for a Trash-Grade to even have enough FFP to reach Warrior Stage, let alone Master Stage one will need to have immense luck to get that much FFP.
But yet again think about it...
Someone who got the Lowest of the lowest Grade Talent can be considered lucky?
Welp...
you know the answer...
Hell Fucking Nah!
So once one gets a Trash-Grade Talent his life is doomed.
Ok, let's give him enough luck to have enough FFP to reach Master Stage... To unlock a dantian one needs many instructions and help from a Master Stage, otherwise, the time spent will be increased immensely, they also need a lot of resources and time, a stable state of mind which got a connection to Intelligence, a strong Spirit, Potential, and much much other complex shit.
Haa, as a Master Stage, will you be willing to waste hundreds of years of your life span to help someone whom you know won't achieve much in his life, and you even have the choice to many other geniuses who will require less than 10 Years of instructions to reach a higher stage than him and will help you make a name for yourself when they reach a higher stage, which will, in turn, help you when forming your clan once you breakthrough Ancestor Stage.
Reputation is very crucial at that stage, although you won't have much of a say if your condition to breakthrough is making 1 or more Trashes reach Dream Master Stage.
And if you think enough about it, making a Trash into a Dream Master really is a Miracle and a feat one deserves to be praised for.
Well back to our explanation...
100 years isn't much for a Master Stage as his life span is pretty much over the 4 Digits some even the 5, But, Trash-Grades really aren't worth it.
Ok let's think for a bit here, why are you even recruiting disciples in the first place? it's because it's one of the conditions to break through the Grandmaster Stage! and who doesn't want to break through fast and become even stronger, even more popular, live even longer, and more importantly become even more Handsome! for some people that's the best life.
So most people won't ever get a Trash-Grade Disciple, other than Trash-Grade Masters themselves! Yes! there are some lucky ones who can break through Master Stage by themselves they are Titled 'The Trash Geniuses', But They also will stop at that stage, that will be the end for them.
First of all, there hasn't been any Trash-Grade with enough FFP to become a Grandmaster, Adding to the fact that no one will accept a Trash-Grade as a master even Trash-Grades themselves, because although Trash-Grade Masters can help a bit it wouldn't make much difference so they are avoided, That is the reason why one is considered to have reached the pinnacle at Master Stage if they got Low-Grade Talents, not only Trash-Grades but even Common and some Uncommon-Grade Ones too.
Now, I think you can understand the importance of physique, with it appearing now, even Trash-Grade physiques will make Trash-Grade Talents forgotten legends, that's... until the world gets used to physiques again, then Trash will become Trash again.
Also, if one doesn't have enough Reputation even with a Moderately Good Talent Grade they will be stuck at Master Grade, so they will have to make a name for themselves, Reputation is important and hard to earn.
Well, all of this will only happen if they are lucky enough to reach Master Grade.
Now that was Trash Grade's natural, Cultivation Speed, and by this I mean how much it will take for one to reach the required Energy or XP to break through the next stage, with only meditation, without taking Cultivation Manuals help, nor Quests, nor treasures, nor anything, just pure Cultivation Speed.
For Common Grade Talents, it may take from 96 to 93 Years of cultivation to break through the next stage.
Uncommon (92-89 Years), Rare(88-85), Epic(84-81), Ancient(80-77), Legendary(76-73), Mythical(72-69), Treasured(68-62!!), Bright(61-55), Dazzling(54-48), Nightmarish(47-41),Spiritual(40-28!!), Soul(27-15), Bloody(14-8 <->), Fragment(8-2), Ardent( 12 Months- 9 Months <->) *That guy from last time who got this grade and brke through in 5 months got the help from external resources*, Devilish(8-5 Months), Mecha(120 Days - 90 Days), Immortal(80-50 Day), Saint(50-35 <->), Heroic(30-15), Demonic(330 Hours- 300 Hours <->), Continental(290-260), World(250-220), Galactic(210-180), Returning(170-140), Chaotic(130-100), Dimensional(90-60), Universal(55-40 <->), Cosmic(35-20), Fairy(15-9 Hours <->), Celestial(9-3 Hours), Original(120 Minutes-60 Minutes <->), Godly(30 Minutes-1 Minute)
* The !! the sign means a good increase in Cultivation Speed, meaning time needed to Breakthrough by solely relying on cultivation is greatly decreased compared to previous stages. And the <-> means the opposite. *
Haa, From Soul Grade, upwards are the real monsters, but, this stuff above is just the cultivation speed, first of all, after every Major Break Through the 'General' Time needed is increased by 10 - 5 if other ways to gain exp/Dream Energy are included - Secondly, no one can breakthrough a Stage without fulfilling the conditions, No One! even The Heavens itself can't do it if it incarnates, Filling the exp bar is just one of the many conditions.
Our MC is a solid example of the above.
*Conditions will be explained later*
Oh Fuck I have to explain Life spans, Item Grades, And Beast Stages, and many other shit, you know what imma leave this until tomorrow imma divide this into Parts, this is the first.
Guys! I think I will awaken my own mangekyou sharingan soon, my eyes started blurring, I will make another chap and see if i awaken Rinnegan with it.
