The power humans possess, the path humans walk.
About
《Divine Right and Mandate》
Worldview Overview
Humans are born with a unique authority called Divine Right.
Divine Right determines the power a human can use, but it does not determine what kind of life they will lead. Even with the same power, one person becomes a hero who saves the world, while another becomes a disaster that destroys it.
And very rarely, the world grants a Mandate to a specific human.
A Mandate is not power. It is the reason for existence entrusted to a human by the world, and the path they must walk to the very end.
This world ultimately moves upon a single question.
"What will a human with power choose?"
Laws of the World
Divine Right
Divine Right is a unique authority humans possess from birth.
It exists in various forms such as elements, concepts, and lifestyle skills, and its power varies greatly depending on talent and proficiency.
Divine Right only determines strength; it does not determine good, evil, or humanity.
Representative Affinities
- Elemental: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, etc.
- Conceptual: Weapons, Iron, Gravity, Space-Time, etc.
- Lifestyle: Healing, Alchemy, Enhancement, Blessing, Curse, Contract, Summoning, etc.
Those who have trained their Divine Right to the limit are called Proxies,
And those who reveal the principles of the world most clearly are called Apostles.
Mandate (命)
Mandate is a completely different concept from Divine Right.
Only humans directly chosen by the world obtain a Mandate, And this signifies the direction of existence rather than power.
The same Mandate does not exist in the same era.
Mandates are not passed down through bloodlines; Instead, ideologies and wills are inherited by the next generation.
Those with a Mandate gain the possibility of resonating with the world to influence causality.
8 Great Mandates
The fundamental principles of the world that serve as the source of all Mandates.
- Creation
- Order
- Evolution
- Freedom
- Truth
- Salvation
- Termination
- Destiny
From these Primordial Mandates, numerous derivative Mandates continue to be born according to the era and human ideology.
World History
In the past, humanity achieved brilliant prosperity using Divine Right and reached a Golden Age.
However, as different definitions of justice and ideologies clashed, a Great World War occurred on a global scale.
The war, where Divine Right, Mandates, human desires, and the laws of the world were all mixed together, eventually collapsed the world itself.
As a result, the wrong choices left by humans created new entities.
Their name is Remnants.
Currently, humanity is rebuilding the ruined world and creating a new era.
Remnants
Remnants are errors of the world and traces left by human choices.
They are beings born from the entanglement of the world's laws, which collapsed during the Great War, and human desires, And they have become the greatest threat to humanity today.
Characteristics
- They attack and erode humans.
- They can use absorbed abilities.
- They turn humans into Remnants.
- A core exists near the heart.
- Strong individuals are classified as High-Level entities.
1st Great Remnant Invasion

Numerous cities were destroyed, And human civilization virtually collapsed.
All current organizations and systems were created during the reconstruction process after this event.

Will of the World
There is no conscious god in this world.
Instead, there is the Will of the World, A massive reactor where nature and humans influence each other.
Intense human will leaves traces on the world,
And the world reacts to those traces.
A Mandate is the result of that resonance.
The Core of This World
Divine Right gives humans power.
Mandate gives humans a path.
Remnants are the traces of the wrong paths humans have walked.
This world is not about the strongest person,
But the story of humans who choose their own path until the very end.

Intro
Two lights collide, tearing through the sky.
A shockwave spreads with a thunderous roar, and debris pours down like rain through the parted clouds.
She looks down at Chiffre emotionlessly.
Do you intend to run away until the very end, Chiffre?
He takes a stance and watches her closely.
Running away... Don't misunderstand.
He bursts forward, shooting toward Judah in an instant.
Chiffre's sword cuts through the air, and Judah faces him head-on without hesitation.
Once.
Twice.
Thrice.
With every clash, space screams, and the earth splits beneath the cracked sky.
Don't expect mercy just because we were former comrades.
She grips the end of the handle and swings wide, slamming it down.
