{General Information}

★ The Depths

The depths were a mysterious and dangerous location, a place that everyone was transported to, regardless of their age or background. It was a place that was shrouded in mystery, with no one knowing for sure what it was or who was behind it.

Some people believed that it was a test of strength and courage, a way for the universe to weed out the weak and make room for the strong. Others believed that it was a punishment for the sins of humanity, a way for the universe to exact its revenge on those who had wronged it.

★ The Drowning

As the newly arrived denizens of the depths emerge from the teleportation portal, they are immediately overcome by a feeling of suffocation and drowning. It is as if the very air around them has been replaced by a thick, viscous liquid that they struggle to push through.

This is the beginning of The Drowning, a test of strength, willpower, and cunning that all who find themselves in the depths must endure.

The Drowning is not a simple trial, but a complex set of challenges and obstacles that are unique to each individual who experiences it.

It is a personal journey, designed to test each person's greatest fears, weaknesses, and strengths. Some will find themselves fighting against hordes of monsters, while others will be forced to confront their own deepest fears and insecurities.

Each Drowning is a complex and multi-faceted experience, containing a central conflict that must be resolved in order for the trial to end.

For some, this might mean fighting against a powerful boss monster, while for others it might mean resolving a personal conflict or facing a deep-seated fear.

★The Depth Realm

The depth realm, a mysterious and sprawling place, teems with all manner of creatures. The creatures inhabiting this realm are known as Depth creatures, and they are unlike any other animals on Earth.

They are strange, often grotesque beings that bear a striking resemblance to the marine creatures that once roamed the ocean depths. Imagine seeing giant crabs or fish with razor-sharp teeth - that's what the Depths are like.

But what is even more mysterious about the Depths is the fact that humans are transported there after surviving their first trial. The Depths are no place for the faint of heart. It is a place where survival is the only thing that matters.

The Depths offer humans a chance to unlock the full potential of their power, but it comes at a steep price. Those who are brought there must face unimaginable challenges and fight to stay alive in the face of insurmountable odds.

Despite the many dangers that exist in the Depths, there is a way out - the Towers of the Tides. These towers are spread throughout the realm and act as a means of escape for those who are able to reach them.

However, the journey to the towers is treacherous, and only the strongest and most skilled survivors are able to make it back to the real world. And even then, their fate is uncertain.

★The Regular and Irregular

In the world of the depths, there exist two types of people - the regulars and the irregulars.

Those who have passed the first trial and gained access to Mana and a soul core are known as regulars. They are considered the backbone of the community in the depth realm, tasked with maintaining order and defending against any threats that may arise.

However, there are those who are known as the irregulars. They are a rare breed, possessing a unique soul core with distinct abilities and items.

Regular Cultivators:

- Regular cultivators are the more common type of cultivator, possessing an elemental core and a standard soul core. They are known for their hard work, determination, and resilience. They must work hard and diligently every day to improve their cultivation abilities and reach higher levels of strength.

Irregular Cultivators:

- On the other hand, irregular cultivators are a rare breed. They possess a unique soul core and unique core, which makes them more formidable in battles.

- Unlike regular cultivators, irregular cultivators do not need to work hard to improve their abilities; they have an ability called "passive growth." This means that they get progressively stronger every day without having to put in any effort. This exceptional trait makes them incredibly powerful and sought after by many.

Irregular cultivators also have a random ability gained from a unique core that sets them apart from regular cultivators. They are also granted a unique soul core in the form of an item that they are most familiar with, adding to their exceptional abilities.

It is not easy to become an irregular cultivator, as it is a rare gift bestowed upon only a few individuals.

They are the elites of the cultivation world, and their power is respected, envied, and feared by all. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and irregular cultivators often find themselves in the middle of political struggles and power struggles between various factions in the cultivation world.

★To gain Strength

In the depths, strength is the ultimate currency. To become strong, one must wait for the next Drowning, a regular event that occurs every 2 months. During this time, The Towers of the Tides emerge from the watery depths and can be seen on the surface, as a beacon of hope for those who seek power.

★ Soul Core

The soul core, a critical aspect of the cultivation world, is a wondrous manifestation of one's spirit, capable of accumulating and storing vast amounts of soul essence. It is said that those who possess a soul core have access to an endless well of power, and with each passing day, they can cultivate their soul core to become stronger and more resilient. The soul core is a unique treasure that can only be obtained by passing through the trials of the Depths, and it is a crucial step in the cultivation journey.

★ Unique soul core

A soul core in the form of an item that they are most familiar with.

!!Note that it is extremely hard to rank up the soul cores.!!

★ Soul Essence

Soul Essence is mystical spirit energy that is used to rank up the Soul cores.

★ Elemental Core

Elemental Core is a powerful core that is imbued with a specific element. It is a crucial component in a cultivator's journey to attain greater power, as it allows them to harness the energy of the element they possess.

★ Mana

Mana is a vital energy source that flows throughout the universe. It is a fundamental force that can be harnessed by cultivators to enhance their strength and abilities.

★ Unique Core

Random unique ability

★ Planetary Drift

The phenomenon of planetary drift refers to the regular and cyclical teleportation of cultivators to random planets in the world of cultivators. This event occurs every 12 months, and it is a significant part of the cultivation world. The process of planetary drift is shrouded in mystery, with no one knowing who or what is responsible for this powerful teleportation force.

During this event, cultivators are randomly transported to a planet completely different from the one they were previously on. The teleportation process is instantaneous, and it is not uncommon for cultivators to be caught off guard when they suddenly find themselves in a completely new environment. The planets that cultivators are teleported to can vary greatly, ranging from lush, green worlds filled with life to desolate, barren landscapes that are hostile to life.
