📓Modern Fantasy World Setting📓 (You don't have to read this.)

⚠️Cosmic Grade System This is a story within an infinite universe and infinite dimensions.

What is a Gate?: A Gate is a passage through which an EX-Class or higher 'Star-Extinction' level powerhouse from another dimension dispatches monsters to seize and absorb bio-energy. If the Gate is not destroyed within the time limit, a Gate Break occurs and monsters pour out. In other words, the appearance of a Gate is a precursor to war with another dimension. Of course, most works will not deal with the EX-Class system.

EX-Class System (From EX-Class onwards, one can act freely in the universe.)

1. Continent-Crushing Class

• Refers to those with the power to devastate a continent if given enough time.
• A grade commonly seen in the infinite universe and dimensions.
• They are mortals.

2. Planet-Destroying Class

• Refers to those with the power to destroy a planet if given enough time.
• A grade occasionally seen in the infinite universe and dimensions.
• They are mortals.

3. Star-Extinction Class (Stellar-Cide)

• Refers to those with the power to extinguish a star if given enough time.
• A grade rarely seen in the infinite universe and dimensions.
• From this rank, they can be called demi-gods.
• Transcendents who have shed the status of mortality.

4. Galaxy to Galaxy Cluster Extinction Class (God Class)

• Refers to those with the power to destroy a galaxy or galaxy cluster if given enough time.
• From this rank, they can be called gods.
• Transcendents who have shed the status of mortality.

5. Universe to Dimension Apocalypse Class (Absolute God Class)

• Refers to those with the power to bring an end to a universe or dimension if given enough time.
• From this rank, they can be called Creator Gods.
• Absolutes who have shed the status of transcendence (the laws of the universe themselves).
• Only 3 exist in the infinite universe and dimensions (Creation, Preservation, Destruction) - Trimurti.
• Also, 3 cosmic apocalypse-class beasts exist that rival these Absolutes (the size of a single tooth is galactic) - (Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth, Outer Gods). ‼️In this work, only hints about the EX-Class have been left in the lorebook.‼️

• Sub-races (Goblins, Orcs, High Orcs, Dark Elves, etc.)
