sooooooo yeah........... i kinda fucked something up.............. i forgot to explain some minor points that are going to REALLY MATTER in the future of the story........ and if i just leave everything as is and not give you fans a hint, or a tip or SOMETHING, there is goona be outrage and pandomoinium soon.

................ ok maybe thats an overexaggeration, but most of you WILL be confused, and many wont understand all that is going on anymore, or the importance of those things and will just stay for the lols........ while i can apprecaite that, i like to arm my fans with the knowledge they need to immerse themselves fully into this story, and follow all the plots and complex lore of the multiverse.

so here you all go, the info you need to be better armed. the theorist guide is linked below as well. i am not going over the races again...............

so you know the world is big, but you dont know HOW big. it is over 1,000 times the size of earth, and the smallest of the 13 continents is about the size Pangaea was.

there are COUNTLESS islands. from ones the size of a small house, to ones the size of Asia (earth). there are only 423 islands that have permanent nexus points though, and only less than 100 of THOSE have been linked to the Arch-nexus system somewhere.

Arches grow naturally, but can also be built. nexus points are wild, whether permanent or not, until stabilized with an Arch. after that they are permanent and connected to the system. only Grand Arches can connect to any and every arch. lesser arches can only connect to one other linked arch.

Most kingdoms are mixed race, though the more "racist" ones have less of a population of alternate races to their lead race, only the Sectia, and the ONE and only city-island of Dragons are the ONLY exemptions.

training to use mana, or any similar form of energy, is incredibly dificult and usually takes years to have even a novice level grasp of it.

immortality doesn't mean you cant die, just that you can halt and often times slow the aging process. age cant kill you, but everything else can.

magic is separated into: Black magic-elemental and generally offensive magic.... White magic- status magic, restoration magic, protection magic............ and Grey magic: enchanting, and everything that doesn't quite fit into the other two types. think of it as the magical "other" check box.

a being of great power such as a divine, ruler, celestial, etc... have MANY ways to manifest into a physical or semi-physical form on a lesser plain of existence.

most of the world alt is in is unexplored, and there are only known and confirmed to be six contents so far.

the MAIN international guilds (the ones that everyone knows about, and hold considerable political power) are:

guild of innovation and knowledge- they handle, manage, and control almost everything involving education, invention, science and technology, and other largely academia pursuits.

guild of exploration- they are the classic adventures guild (only with a new twist). they care more about the discovery, exploration, and mapping of new areas in the world. they also deal with the new creatures, both study and subjugation, but care about and reward the exploration aspect of their fields far more than the subjugation parts.

guild of finance and merchantry- they run the best and most trusted banking system in the world. they also control and inforce businesses and contracts. usually if you want to own more than one shop legally in any kingdom (unless your a prince that abuses his authority on a regular basis) you have to join them.

guild of transportation, slavery, and exportation- closely tied to the guild of finance, this guild runs the legal slave system, which is different from kingdom to kingdom, internationally. they also deal in mass transportation between kingdoms, and have sole control the control Nexus-Arch hub.

there are more types of faith present on this world then i could ever say, and since Alt revealed himself to all beings of higher power while at the same time basically threatening to end all DIVINES (and ONLY divines) a fuck-ton of powers have scrambled to have at least one person/temple/object/animal that gives them faith so that they can have access to this world.

only very few beings of higher power actually know where Alt is, and MOST of them know each other. are they all friends? FUCK NO!!!!! but they do all know each other

the one that killed Sally's entire race, world, and creator is not a divine. she is however going to be the POV of an upcoming bonus.....

sometimes a higher being will recreate someone/something from a race they created themselves to serve them as a type of higher being. happens all the time....... in fact, even Gerald is one example of this.

duality and trinity are important. anything that exists as one of those two things in the story is either infinitly powerful, or can be in the future................

Alt spent more time in a Void than any other being has and still exiested afterwards.

Alt was, like every soul put through a Void for a good length of time, innocent and pure. his personality became more cold and homicidal due to many things, but the first, biggest, and only consious effect was who he was raised by.

many view death as an escape, but Alt wrongly assumes that after death everyone goes to the void.

Fera is special, not saying how.....

Yan is special, not saying how.....

Till is special, not saying how.....

normally those things that make them special shouldnt be in such close proximity. and also they are living the first lives there souls have ever had, so no the aren't reincarnated.

Lizote has only ever loved one person and she originally only wished to be with one person sexually as well (something that is abnormal for a Vampeerus), yet Tessa IS her naturally born boilogical daughter. Lizote killed her father before Tessa ever knew him.

Natasha devloped her complex about the male gender due to her consitently compareing all males she has ever seen since the day she was born to someone. they all fell short in her eyes, except Alt.

Natasha, grew to find females sexually attractive due to her relationship with Lizote.

Zair/Zola was born four years before Alt.

Anna was born one year after Alt.

Alt was born on a day that a certain race was created in that world.

as long as there is one point of faith, a higher being can survive, and is not forgotten.

Names hold power only when seeking to create or destroy.

and in case you missed it last chapter:

ok i'm tired of the Lizote-Natasha-Alt comments, this IS the most complex relationship in the story (so far at least) and i KNOW no one is going to be able to put all the pieces together the right way on their own so AaronDragon is bringing Dues-Ex-Machina up in this argument, in the form of AUTHOR HINTS:

Natasha was the first among those three to Fall in love, but that love wasn't the one she has with Lizote

Daniel louis and the team never Specified how many or what gender TAI or Taia should fall in love with, or gave the A.I. anything to work with, they left it all to her preferences.

Hellatia never LOST a soul in the Void. and for HER it was only millennia, for the SOUL....................

TAI or Taia wasn't picked as a chosen per say, nor was she picked by a "divine" Like Bartius assumed. (Who are these people? go read the side-chapters people, every chapter i post to this site ALWAYS matter. even if they have side in the name..... damn....)

Anna is an Elf...... an ELF!!!!!!!!!!!

Sally has always done the right thing. she was seen as a force of righteous good by all who know her past and present.

TAI or Taia was split into three different incarnations sent to different times do to how she was designed by Daniel Louis (Alt), none of those three have their full memory, data, or capabilities while apart.

there have only ever been two Avatars of corruption, one was forgotten the same time the other was ALLOWED to be born.

incarnating between worlds can happen at ANY point in said worlds timeline if the being doing so has enough power.

ok so THERE that should be everything................... fuck that took some time, anyway here is how i'd like things to be for comenting in the future (This may change depending on the poll results): discuss and predict like normal on an a chapter as you all have been doing, that's fine, but please only comment on informational posts if you are theorizing with the story, and how things work with the lore, characters, setting, Etc........

and please for the love of Sally dont just post a "Thanks for chapter" thing on its own in the comment. if you read this far, and especially if you commented, i already assume your thankful for the chapter. i appreciate the thought, i REALLY DO, but it floods my PM box with notifications and i cant get it to stop doing that......... i've tried so, SO many times........

anyway, i decided the special will be JUST the bonus Tessa POV chapter, as LAST chapter was supposed to be part of the special, but i decided to post it early since i cant over the weekend. imma TRY and get that special out tonight, but i might not be able to.

Author out!!!!
