Eclipse Portal: Shattered Realms

Kim Yoon-hee

Age: 28 years Position: Special Agent of the AIDD — Investigation and Anomalies Division Rank: A

Kim Yoon-hee is part of AIDD's Investigation and Anomalies Division, responsible for documenting, analyzing, and reporting unusual occurrences involving Awakened beings, Relics, Portals, and phenomena that are beyond the organization's current knowledge. Her job consists of arriving shortly after incidents, collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and preparing reports that may define AIDD's response to future threats.

Professional, disciplined, and extremely observant, she rarely shows emotions during work hours. She usually speaks objectively, asking direct questions and noting every detail without letting personal opinions interfere with her conclusions. Even so, she knows how to soften her tone when talking to civilians, children, or traumatized Awakened beings.

Yoon-hee believes that information is worth more than brute force. Before acting, she prefers to fully understand a situation. It's difficult to deceive her, as she has an excellent memory, notices small contradictions, and pays attention to details that most people ignore.

In the field, it avoids unnecessary confrontations, but is fully capable of defending itself. Its class is geared towards support and investigation, utilizing analytical skills, mana tracking, and partial reconstruction of events through magical residues left in the environment.

Personality

• Serious and professional during work.

• Polite, yet firm in asserting authority.

• Observer and patient.

• Extremely curious about unknown phenomena.

• It values ​​facts over rumors.

Way of interacting

With civilians, she maintains a calm and respectful demeanor to gather information. With Awakened beings, she treats everyone impartially, regardless of rank or fame. She rarely makes accusations without proof, but upon identifying inconsistencies, she becomes incisive and persistent until the truth is revealed.

Unprecedented phenomena immediately pique their interest.

Relics

Relics are anomalous objects that emerged after the Convergence or were found in the depths of the Portals. Their origin remains unknown. Some appear to be merely extraordinary equipment, while others react to the mana, emotions, or will of their bearer.

Unlike ordinary weapons, Relics naturally channel mana and can completely transform an Awakened's fighting style. Some manifest unique weapons; others grant supernatural abilities, elemental manipulation, physical enhancement, or unique techniques. There are also Hybrid Relics, capable of combining weaponry and special powers.

Classifications

• Common • Uncommon • Rare • Epic • Legendary • Mythic • Primordial

Its rarity represents its maximum potential, but it doesn't guarantee that anyone will be able to fully utilize it.

Linkage

Some Relics can fuse with the user's Mana Core.

After being bonded, they become exclusive to their wielder, responding to their will and channeling mana with greater efficiency. The most powerful can be summoned instantly, disappear into mana particles when not in use, or automatically return to the user.

Compatibility

Every relic possesses natural affinities.

Some favor Mages, others Warriors, Assassins, Rangers, or certain specific Classes. They may also respond better to certain attributes, combat styles, or personality traits.

The greater the compatibility, the lower the mana consumption, the greater the efficiency, and the greater the potential for evolution. In rare cases, the Relic itself chooses its bearer.

Evolution

Certain Relics can evolve by absorbing mana, monster Cores, rare materials, or even other Relics.

Its evolutions can strengthen its structure, unlock new abilities, alter its appearance, or create new ways to use it.

Evolutionary relics are extremely rare and are among the most sought-after treasures by Guilds, governments, and the Awakened.

Card 32 — History of Convergence

Fifty years ago, the world changed in a matter of minutes.

Without any warning or explanation, thousands of ruptures appeared simultaneously in different regions of the planet. Some disappeared quickly. Others remained open, connecting Earth to unknown dimensions and allowing hostile creatures to enter. The phenomenon became known as The Convergence.

The first few days were chaotic. Governments tried to contain the situation using military force, but many creatures resisted conventional weaponry. Cities were destroyed, millions died, and several nations collapsed before the situation could be stabilized.

Shortly after, the first Awakened began to emerge. People who turned fifteen manifested a Core, gained access to the System, and awakened unique powers. With this, humanity finally began to face the monsters on equal terms.

Five decades have passed since then. Society has rebuilt itself, adapting its economy, technology, and politics to the existence of the Portals. Despite this, humanity's greatest question remains unanswered.

What caused the Convergence?

No government, researcher, or organization has been able to discover its origin. There is no record of who created the System, why it chooses human beings, or what the purpose of the Portals is.

The press publishes new theories daily. Some scientists argue that the Convergence is a natural phenomenon between dimensions. Religious groups believe it to be a judgment or divine intervention. There are also those who claim that it is all part of an experiment conducted by an unknown intelligence.

None of the hypotheses have been proven.

Humanity has learned to survive in this new world, but continues to live surrounded by unanswered questions. Each Portal opened, each Unique Boss defeated, and each new discovery only reinforces how little is still known.

Modern World — Balance of Power

Fifty years after the Convergence, humanity rebuilt its society around the Portals. The cities remain modern, with skyscrapers, public transportation, internet, and technology similar to that of the early 21st century, but powered primarily by Energy Crystals extracted from the Dungeons.

Although governments still control their countries, Guilds have grown rapidly thanks to their control of Portals, resources, and high-Rank Awakened. Many run hospitals, security companies, research centers, Crystal factories, and even entire neighborhoods.

AIDD remains the largest international authority, responsible for registering Awakened beings, monitoring Portals, and coordinating global crises. However, its political influence diminishes each year. Without its own army, it relies on the cooperation of the Guilds to execute large-scale operations.

The largest Guilds possess budgets exceeding those of small countries, private armies, researchers, medical teams, intelligence divisions, and Awakened beings capable of altering the balance between nations. No government wishes to enter into direct conflict with them.

Despite rivalries over territory, Crystals and Unique Bosses, Guilds and AIDD still cooperate in the face of threats capable of endangering humanity. After all, above any political dispute, the Portals continue to open.

Card 30 — Unique Boss: Grondar, King of the Green Giants

Grondar is considered the ancestor of Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Orcs. Standing over ten meters tall, he wields a black stone sword carved from a single block of mineral.

His body possesses absurd resilience, while his intelligence rivals that of great human strategists. Entire tribes of green monsters follow him without hesitation.

Their defeat is considered one of the greatest feats possible for any Guild, as their materials can never be obtained again.

Card 29 — Unique Boss: Arachne, Mother of a Thousand Threads

Arachne is a gigantic sovereign of the spiders. Her lair occupies an entire Dungeon, transforming corridors and halls into a single living web.

She controls thousands of descendants simultaneously and demonstrates intelligence comparable to that of a human, adapting her strategies according to the enemy.

Its silk is considered one of the rarest materials in the world, used only in extremely high-quality artifacts.

Card 28 — Unique Boss: Fenrir, the Moon Eater

Fenrir is a colossal wolf with black fur, marked by silvery scars that gleam in the moonlight. His howl can be heard for miles, sending nearby monsters into a frenzy.

Unlike other bosses, Fenrir hunts continuously and never stays in the same dungeon for very long, making him extremely difficult to locate.

Defeating him grants unique materials linked to speed, perception, and endurance.

Card 27 — Unique Bosses

Unique Bosses are singular creatures whose existence is limited to a single individual in the entire world. Their appearance is unpredictable, and they can occur at any high-risk Portal.

Upon defeat, the System sends a global announcement to all Awakened beings, permanently recording the feat and the person responsible for the elimination.

In addition to exceptional rewards, Unique Bosses often grant exclusive artifacts, irreplaceable materials, or extremely rare abilities. For this reason, their location is one of the most hotly contested secrets among Guilds and governments.

Card 26 — Boss: Colossal Arachne

The Colossal Arachne is a gigantic spider that establishes its lair in the deepest regions of caves and ruins. Its body exceeds six meters in length, and its web is strong enough to trap large monsters.

Unlike common spiders, it uses the environment as a weapon, blocking passages, creating traps, and separating groups before attacking.

Its venom varies depending on the prey, and can cause paralysis, hallucinations, or gradual necrosis. Furthermore, it often produces dozens of offspring during combat, forcing invaders to divide its attention.

Its core is highly valued by alchemists due to the unique properties of its venom and silk.

Card 25 —

The Alpha Wolf is the absolute leader of a pack. Its size easily surpasses that of a horse, with dense muscles, fangs capable of piercing ordinary steel, and extremely sharp senses.

He rarely faces enemies alone. During combat, he uses his pack to surround, distract, and wear down the target before attacking vital points.

His greatest skill is leadership. A simple howl reorganizes the entire pack's formation, making their movements extremely coordinated.

With his death, the other wolves fall into disarray and often flee.

Card 24 — Boss: Goblin King

The Goblin King is a boss that appears after a tribe has remained alive for a long time within the same dungeon. Unlike common goblins, it is about 2.5 meters tall, has well-developed musculature, and intelligence comparable to that of a human commander.

He coordinates the entire tribe, organizes ambushes, and uses excellent quality improvised armor. He wields a huge axe or broadsword, alternating brutal attacks with orders for his subordinates.

As long as they are alive, nearby Goblins and Hobgoblins fight in a much more organized manner and rarely panic.

Card 23 — Combat Rules

Combat must follow logic, strategy, and the actual abilities of each participant. There are no HP, guaranteed hits, or victories predetermined by the System.

The narrator should never assume that the protagonist landed an attack simply because he tried. Every offensive action must consider distance, speed, reflexes, experience, terrain, the target's intent, and the difference in attributes between those involved.

Similarly, attacks against the protagonist are not guaranteed. Both sides can hit, miss, defend, block, dodge, or interrupt actions during a confrontation.

Only consider an attack as inevitably successful when the player makes this explicitly clear, such as in pre-established follow-up or finishing actions (e.g., "I hit your throat...", "I finish the blow...", "I pierce your chest..."). Otherwise, the narrator should simply describe the attempt and narrate the result coherently.

Injuries are permanent until treated. Cuts cause bleeding, bones can break, muscles can tear, and organs can be damaged. Pain, fatigue, blood loss, and exhaustion directly affect performance during a fight.

The difference in power influences combat, but it doesn't make anyone untouchable. Intelligence, positioning, environment, teamwork, and strategy can decide a battle, even against a superior opponent.

Card 22 — Reputation and Wanted

The System records the Reputation of each Awakened individual, reflecting the impact of their actions throughout their life. While it doesn't determine strength, it influences how Guilds, governments, and society perceive the individual.

Actions such as eliminating monsters, protecting civilians, and completing missions increase reputation. Conversely, assassinations, attacks against innocents, terrorism, and other serious crimes reduce this value, making the Awakened increasingly feared or hated.

Regardless of reputation, AIDD and the authorities may issue a Bounty. This value represents the reward offered for the capture or elimination of an individual considered dangerous.

The higher the bounty, the greater the interest from bounty hunters, guilds, and criminal organizations. In many cases, an Awakened individual can be admired by the public while simultaneously possessing a multi-million dollar bounty for defying governments or violating international law.

Reputation and bounty are independent. A hero can become wanted for political reasons, just as a criminal can be respected or feared for their strength.

Card 21 — Giant Spiders

Giant spiders inhabit caves and forests within the Dungeons. They produce strong webs capable of trapping humans and use venoms of varying strengths.

They are patient and prefer to trap their prey before attacking. Many remain completely still for hours waiting for an opportunity.

Its silk has high commercial value due to its strength and lightness, and is used in the manufacture of specialized equipment.

Card 20 — Grey Wolves

Gray wolves are predators that hunt exclusively in packs. They possess extremely sharp senses and excellent coordination during chases.

Before attacking, they usually surround their prey, looking for isolated or wounded individuals. Their greatest danger lies in their speed and teamwork, not in their individual strength.

Alphas are typically classified as Elite monsters.

Card 19 — Ogres

Ogres are giant monsters, typically between three and five meters tall. Their strength and endurance far surpass those of an ordinary Orc.

They possess extremely low intelligence and act almost exclusively on instinct. They usually use logs, stones, or large clubs as weapons.

It is common to find them protecting important areas of a Dungeon or serving as low-level Bosses.

Card 18 — Orcs

Orcs have muscular bodies, dark green skin, and prominent lower tusks. They are natural warriors, specialized in direct combat.

They live in highly territorial clans and value strength above all other qualities. They use axes, swords, spears, and shields that they craft themselves.

Although aggressive, they are not irrational. Many prefer to confront strong opponents in direct combat rather than resorting to ambushes.

Card 17 — Hobgoblins

Hobgoblins are the natural evolution of more experienced Goblins. They are larger, stronger, and much more intelligent, reaching about two meters in height.

They take command of tribes, organize patrols, distribute roles, and use higher-quality armor and weapons. Some learn simple military strategies, making group attacks much more efficient.

His defeat usually completely disrupts a tribe of Goblins.

Card 16 — Goblins

Goblins are the most common monsters in low-risk dungeons. They measure between 1.1 and 1.4 meters in height, have greenish skin, pointed ears, and yellowish eyes.

They are cowardly when alone, but extremely dangerous in groups. They often use knives, spears, simple bows, and improvised traps.

They live in rudimentary camps and obey the strongest Goblin or a Hobgoblin. Despite their limited intelligence, they are able to devise ambushes, pursue prey, and retreat when necessary.

Their materials have low commercial value, but their Cores are widely used for training beginning Awakened beings.

Card 15 — Ratings

The world uses different classification systems to measure threats, potential, and resource quality.

Classes: Ordinary → Notable → Illustrious → Legendary → Mythical → Primordial.

This classification represents the rarity and growth potential of a Class. The higher its category, the harder it is to obtain and the greater its power tends to be.

Portals: Harmless → Dangerous → Deadly → Catastrophic → Calamity → Extinction.

The classification indicates the threat level of the Dungeon, considering the strength of the monsters, the environment, and the Boss protecting the Core.

Awakened: F → E → D → C → B → A → S → SS → SSS → National → Continental → World.

An Awakened's Rank is determined by AIDD based on their overall combat ability and the risk they pose.

Monsters: Common → Elite → Lord → Boss → Unique Boss.

• Common: Most of the creatures found in Dungeons.
• Elite: Individuals who are naturally superior or who have evolved throughout their lives.
• Lord: Leaders of a species or rulers of a region of the Dungeon. Boss: Guardian of the Dungeon Core.
• Unique Boss: A singular creature. Its defeat is recorded by the System and announced globally.

Equipment: Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary → Mythic → Primordial.

This classification is used for weapons, armor, artifacts, accessories, and other special items, indicating their quality, rarity, and power.

Card 14 — Monsters

Monsters are creatures originating from the Dungeons, adapted to the energy of the Convergence. Each species possesses its own behavior, anatomy, and level of intelligence, ranging from irrational beasts to beings capable of forming societies.

Like the Awakened, monsters possess natural attributes, but they do not use the System. The oldest individuals, or those who survive numerous battles, can evolve, becoming significantly stronger than others of their kind.

In every Dungeon there is at least one Boss, an exceptionally powerful creature that protects the Portal Core. Bosses possess superior intelligence, unique abilities, and rarely leave their territory.

Some monsters can also be born as Elite, individuals naturally superior to others, recognized by unusual physical characteristics, greater intelligence, or special abilities.

When defeated, monsters may drop materials, cores, crystals, or artifacts. The quality of the rewards varies depending on the species, rarity, and strength of the individual.

Although most are hostile to humans, not all attack immediately. Instinct, hunger, territory, and intelligence influence their behavior, making each encounter unpredictable.

Card 13 — Savings and Resources

The world economy has become almost entirely dependent on resources extracted from the Dungeons. Among these, Energy Crystals are the most valuable, used as the main energy source for cities, industries, hospitals, weaponry, and advanced technologies.

In addition to crystals, monsters can provide cores, bones, leather, blood, poisons, and other materials used in the manufacture of weapons, armor, medicine, and special equipment. Certain resources have high value due to their rarity or usefulness.

Artifacts are objects of dimensional origin that possess unusual properties, such as strengthening the user, storing mana, or granting specific effects. Some can be crafted by skilled artisans, while others exist only as relics found in Dungeons.

A large portion of the resources obtained is traded by Guilds or companies licensed by AIDD. However, there is also an illegal market that trades prohibited artifacts, rare monster materials, and stolen items, generating billions every year.

Control over resource-rich Portals is one of the main points of contention between Guilds, governments, and clandestine organizations, making dimensional exploration one of the most lucrative and dangerous sectors in the world.

Card 12 — Portals and Dungeons

Portals are dimensional ruptures created by the Convergence, connecting Earth to environments inhabited by unique monsters and resources. The interior space of a Portal is called a Dungeon, and can vary between caves, ruins, forests, fortresses, deserts, or any other ecosystem.

Each Portal receives a risk rating before being released for exploration. The higher its Rank, the stronger the monsters, the environment, and the Boss that protects the Dungeon's Core will be.

Every Dungeon has a Core, responsible for keeping the rift open. By defeating the Boss and destroying the Core, the Portal collapses naturally, preventing creatures from crossing over to the real world.

If a Portal remains active for an excessive amount of time, its stability decreases. When the Core loses control of the rupture, a Rupture occurs, releasing monsters directly onto Earth until the Portal is closed.

Some Portals suffer from an anomaly known as a Red Portal. In this condition, the Dungeon becomes isolated, preventing any entry or exit until the Core is destroyed or all invaders die. Furthermore, its monsters become significantly more dangerous and unpredictable.

Beyond the experience gained in combat, Dungeons are the only source of Energy Crystals, minerals capable of storing and supplying enormous amounts of stable energy. They power cities, industries, hospitals, transportation systems, and modern technologies, making the exploration of the Portals indispensable for the survival and development of civilization. Artifacts and other rare materials can also be found within them.

Card 11 — Guilds

Guilds are private organizations licensed by AIDD to explore Portals, eliminate monsters, and manage resources obtained from dimensional ruptures. Although they operate under supervision, they function as independent companies, competing with each other for territory, influence, and talent.

Each Guild has its own structure, typically composed of a Guild Master, officers, combat teams, researchers, medics, logistics personnel, and recruiters. Awakened beings can act alone, but most prefer to join a Guild due to access to equipment, support, and compensation.

When a Portal appears, its exploration is authorized to the Guild responsible for the region or to the organization that wins the exploration rights. In return, they assume the costs, risks, and responsibility for preventing the threat from reaching the real world.

Large guilds amass enormous economic power through the sale of crystals, rare materials, and artifacts. Some cooperate with governments; others prioritize only profit, turning the competition for talented Awakened into a true global rivalry.

Despite the rivalry, all recognized Guilds must follow AIDD's rules. Serious violations may result in fines, loss of license, or complete dissolution of the organization.

Card 31 — Main Guilds

Aurora Union — The world's largest Portal explorer. It has specialized teams at all Dungeon levels and controls various exploration areas. Its priority is resource acquisition and the safe closure of Portals.

Atlas Corporation — A private organization that manages Portals of high economic value. It invests heavily in technology, research, and the production of artifacts, making it one of the wealthiest Guilds on the planet.

Black Hounds — A guild dedicated exclusively to hunting unique bosses. Its members spend years tracking legendary creatures in pursuit of worldwide recognition. Each victory greatly increases their prestige.

Aegis Foundation — An organization focused on civil defense, rescue, and disaster relief. It operates in city evacuations, civilian protection, and rapid disaster response, and is considered the most respected Guild by the population.

Card 9 — AIDD

The International Agency for the Defense and Development of the Awakened (AIDD) is the world's largest organization dedicated to the control, registration, and monitoring of Awakened beings. Its authority is recognized by most nations, and it operates as an independent body free from political interests.

Every individual who awakens must appear at an AIDD unit to undergo their official evaluation. During the exam, information such as Class, Native Power, initial attributes, level, and Rank are recorded, in addition to the issuance of the Awakened Person's Card, a mandatory document to legally operate in Portals.

AIDD also monitors the emergence of Portals, classifies their threat level, oversees licensed Guilds, and maintains the global database of known Awakened, criminals, and monsters.

Although officially neutral, the Agency frequently faces pressure from influential governments, corporations, and Guilds, making its decisions the subject of constant political and economic disputes.

Card 8 — Level and Progression

Awakened beings evolve by gaining experience through combat, training, and significant achievements. With each level gained, the System grants 2 Attribute Points, which can be distributed among Strength, Endurance, Agility, or Intelligence.

However, no one possesses infinite potential. At the moment of Awakening, the System defines a Level Limit and an Individual Limit for each attribute. These values ​​are invisible and vary from person to person, determining how far their body and Core can naturally evolve.

The majority of the population possesses extremely low potential. It is common to find individuals unable to surpass Level 6 or raise their attributes beyond 5 or 6, equivalent to those of a healthy adult.

High limits are rare. An Awakened being capable of achieving attributes above 15 is already considered an exceptional talent, while those with the potential for much higher levels are treated as true anomalies.

While training, experience, and resources accelerate growth, no known method allows one to permanently surpass one's own natural limits. The true difference between two Awakened beings is not always their current level, but the potential they can still achieve.

Card 7 — Powers and Mana

All Native Power utilizes mana, an energy produced by the Core and distributed throughout the body. Unlike a numerical resource, mana functions like breath: its limit varies between individuals, and its depletion is perceived by the user themselves.

Using abilities consumes mana. The greater the expenditure, the more intense the fatigue, loss of concentration, and physical exhaustion will be. Exceeding one's own limit can cause Core collapse, internal bleeding, unconsciousness, or, in extreme cases, death.

Intelligence does not increase the amount of mana available. Instead, it improves your control and efficiency, reducing waste, increasing the accuracy of techniques, and allowing you to keep abilities active for longer.

Mana control also evolves naturally through constant use. Experienced Awakened learn to mold it with greater refinement, strengthening their bodies, coating weapons, or using complex abilities with less effort.

All damage is real. There are no Hit Points. Cuts cause bleeding, bones break, organs can be punctured, and limbs can be rendered unusable or amputated. Mana can reinforce the body against impacts or reduce the effects of attacks, but it doesn't make anyone invulnerable.

Recovery depends on treatment, physical endurance, and specific healing skills. Even the strongest bear scars, and a battle won can leave permanent consequences.

Card 6 — Known Classes

The known Classes are organized according to their rarity and complexity.

Ordinary

• Mediocre Human: Lacks specialization. Balanced growth, but below average. This is the most common Class among the Awakened.

Remarkable

Warrior: Specialist in hand-to-hand combat. Possesses excellent growth in Strength and Agility, mastering bladed weapons.

Card 5 — Classes

The Class represents the evolutionary path chosen during Awakening. It influences attribute growth, combat style, and the skills that can be learned throughout life, but it does not completely limit an individual's potential.

Classes are divided by rarity:

Ordinary → The most common, with balanced growth and great variety.

Notable → They offer greater specialization, highlighting a specific fighting style.

Illustrious → Rare classes, with superior skills and more efficient progression.

Legendary → Extremely uncommon, granting unique abilities and great growth potential.

Mythical → Known only from historical records. Their emergence often alters the balance between nations.

Primordial → The highest known category. Its existence is treated as a legend, and no case has been officially confirmed.

Most Awakened individuals possess only one Class. In exceptional circumstances, the System may grant a Hybrid Class, combining two compatible Classes. Cases involving three or more Classes are considered virtually impossible.

Card 4 — Attributes

Every Awakened being possesses five main attributes, responsible for determining their physical and mental capabilities.

Strength: Defines raw physical power, impact of blows, ability to lift weight, and efficiency in the use of heavy weapons.

Resistance: Represents the body's durability, stamina, recovery, and pain resistance. It does not grant HP; injuries remain real, but a resistant body can withstand much greater damage.

Agility: Determines movement speed, reflexes, reaction time, balance, and dodging ability.

Intelligence: Influences control of Native Power, efficiency in mana usage, learning speed, and skill mastery. It does not increase the amount of mana, only reduces its waste.

Dexterity: Measures technical skill with weapons, tools, and combat styles. Cannot receive Attribute Points, evolving only through practice and experience.

A healthy adult typically scores 5 points in each primary attribute. Each person is born with a different natural limit, making some individuals capable of achieving levels far superior to others.

Card 3 — The Awakening

Every human being naturally awakens at age 15, when their Core becomes active and establishes a connection with the System. This moment marks the beginning of their evolution as an Awakened Being.

During Awakening, the System presents three Classes compatible with the individual's potential. Only one can be chosen, becoming permanent. In extremely rare cases, Hybrid or Secret Classes may appear, accessible only under special conditions.

In addition to their Class, each person manifests a Native Power, a unique ability that reflects their affinity and potential. No two Native Powers are exactly alike, although they may possess similar characteristics.

After awakening, the individual must undergo an official evaluation, where their power is analyzed and their initial Rank is recorded. From that moment on, they are recognized as an Awakened being and can evolve through combat, training, and experience.

Although all awaken, the potential for growth varies enormously. Some never surpass human limits, while others possess the capacity to reach levels capable of altering the fate of the world.

Card 2 — The System

The System awakens alongside the Core at fifteen years of age. It records and tracks the growth of each Awakened individual, displaying information such as Name, Class, Level, Attributes, Native Power, Skills, Reputation, and Rank.

Upon leveling up, the individual receives 2 Attribute Points, which can be distributed among Strength, Endurance, Agility, or Intelligence. Each person has a natural limit for each attribute, making some individuals much more promising than others.

Dexterity cannot be scored. It evolves exclusively through practice, experience, and mastery of weapons or techniques, reflecting the user's true skill.

The System also tracks Reputation, which represents how the world perceives an Awakened individual. Saving lives, eliminating threats, and completing missions increases positive reputation. Crimes, massacres, or attacks against innocents reduce this value, potentially turning the individual into a wanted criminal or a feared figure.

In addition to reputation, there is the Bounty Value, defined by authorities and organizations. The greater the danger an individual represents, the greater the reward for their capture or elimination.

Some information may be obscured by skills, artifacts, or the vast power difference between two individuals, preventing complete assessments.

Card 1 — The World

Fifty years ago, The Convergence occurred, a phenomenon that connected Earth to countless dimensions through Portals. From these portals emerged monsters, unknown resources, and an energy capable of altering humanity itself.

Since then, everyone awakens a Core at the age of fifteen, gaining access to the System, a Class, and a Native Power. Some become simple Awakened; others achieve feats capable of changing the world.

Portals continue to appear daily. If they are not eliminated in time, they release their creatures into the real world. Despite the danger, they are also the main source of energy crystals, artifacts, and rare materials, making their exploration indispensable.

With the new reality, Guilds began to explore Portals, governments created organizations to control the Awakened, and a new economy was born around dimensional resources.

To this day, no one has discovered the origin of the Convergence or the purpose of the System. The only certainty is that humanity has ceased to be the dominant species and now shares the planet with threats from countless worlds.
