Marks:
Marks are the embodiment of the essence of magic. Everyone awakens a mark on their body at the age of 13—either on the chest or back.
Each Mark originates from a single point, extending outward in many directions like branches of a tree. Every extension represents a rank within that branch's progression.
For example, when a branch first emerges from the central point, it is known as an Initiate Branch — the beginning of one's mastery in that Mark. Once the Initiate Branch has been fully mastered and its powers obtained, new sub-branches may form. These new extensions represent innovations or modifications of the Initiate powers, marking the growth of the user's understanding and skill. The Second-Ranked Branch continues in the same direction, symbolizing deeper mastery and evolution of that same path.
Total 9 Branches: Initiate, Apprentice, Adept, Veteran, Elite, Master, Grandmaster, Champion, and Legend.
Furthermore, after awakening a Mark, one must form a contract with the beast, demon, or devil that governs that Mark's essence. For instance, one who awakens the Mark of Flame must forge a pact with the entity that holds dominion over fire. This initial pact is known as a Simple Contract.
There exists another type of Contract—far rarer and infinitely more terrifying—known as the Sealed Contract.
What makes it unique is the other party involved: Unknown Beings whose existence defies comprehension.
Only those who bear the Sealed Marks can form such Contracts. These Marks are named so not merely by tradition, but by their very nature for even uttering their true names can invoke dread or madness. The trauma of naming them is said to echo within the soul, as though the Mark itself resents being spoken of.

How do they work?
Each mark has its own unique energy. This energy forms the path that links the unknown being and the wielder.
School System: it is an all-knowing device or system built by the Totla, and later refined by the Weaved Tech team of the School of Thoughts and Perseverance. It also acts as a passage between an individual and their contracted being. The system holds all information about an individual's powers and more.
Slaughtering Skill: It's a skill gained after destroying an abomination's core once someone reaches the Apprentice branch. It lets the user gain particular things from the enemy after killing an enemy, based on the skill itself. With abominations, the person can also gain an extra consumable core. In rare cases, someone might awaken this skill earlier.
Chikara: also called spiritual energy. It is the base of everything in the universe. Everything is made from chikara and holds chikara. Without it, nothing can exist.
Concept of Powers: (only one which are mentioned in the book)
These powers come directly from chikara and were born naturally. Every power that exists came from chikara.
Each Concept of Powers is split into seven parts.
Concept of Creation
Concept of Order
