THE CURSE
In this story, Earth was cursed by the Gods. Their intention was to destroy it in chaos. But something went wrong with the ritual. For the curse to take effect, three gods had to be sacrificed:
Yoll, the God of Knowledge.
Mijhina, the Goddess of Magic.
Wahl, the God of Fate.
Because of their sacrifice, Earth became connected to other dying worlds. Some of those worlds couldn't be saved. And every time one of them died, Earth suffered. But if a world was saved, Earth was spared from further damage. Even more — if a world was rebuilt, Earth would heal as well.
If land had sunk or been destroyed by a meteor or some other catastrophe caused by the curse, it would be restored in seconds. This was Wahl's doing — the God of Fate. He created a system of balance between these "Fate-bound" worlds. A give and take. A shared destiny.
Wahl had been against the destruction of Earth. As he was dying, he set up this system to give Earth a chance. The same was true for Yoll and Mijhina. They, too, stood against Earth's end.
Mijhina gave humans the gift of magic, so they could use it to save other worlds.
Yoll, having only his wisdom to offer, taught humans how to travel to those worlds and made sure everyone understood what was happening — and why. He also gave humans greater technological knowledge so they could advance to a new era of technology and magic.
Then, the remaining Gods seeked to destroy Earth's magical soul so humans could no longer use magic against them. But it didn't go as they planned. So now, they sabotage humans whenever they travel to other worlds.
To change Earth's fate, humans must change the fate of other worlds.
AWAKENING
A person can naturally awaken with a bit of luck or forcefully by clearing a Temple with other awakened. There is the theory that if a person could awaken by using a gods fragment.
If they awaken they get 1 skill related to theiir awakened class. And they awakened their innate skill. Naro's innate skill is Future Sight.
There are classes relatet to almost everything. Whether it is combat related or not.
New skills can only be obtained through skillshards found in Tempels or in so called great Ruins.
The Awakened are rankend from 1 to 10 Stars.
This ranking only counts if the person is a comabt Awakened and has at least some fighting training.
1 Star is abel to beat 20 up to 40 normal people in combat without great problems.
2 Star is abel to beat up to 130 people.
3 Star is abel to beat a small city.
4 Stars can destroy entire mountains.
5 Stars have double or thrice as much mana as 4 Stars
6 Stars can cause small calamities.
7 Stars can cause real calamities.
8 Stars can erase a Land from history.
9 Stars can save another world all on their own.
10 Stars would be considered something like a god.
The highest rank ever achieved was 8 Star.
If a person awakens they can improve with training and raise their rank with luck, if they get a gods fragment or a skillshard awakens a higher rank skill.
