[This is just a preview of the world of the book, what led to things, and how everything is structured. Spoilers are just few.]
Forces that were above nature existed; they were the Specters. They made the earth and the universe.
These Specters were God and His archangels, and they guided and protected it, for they loved their creation.
But in an opposite universe, a diverse one, the Specters were more. For in this universe, in that time lapse, God had two sons.
One was good and commanded light (Elivar), and the other dark, and was a force of darkness (Lucivar).
God, who was their Father, had made earth, and it lived in chaos, hatred, jealousy, and envy, and now, instead of guiding His creation, wants to destroy it, lacking to see what His twin sons saw.
For they saw it was good and balanced, that amidst the chaos and hatred, there was also love, care, harmony, family, and one another.
Even one of his son the devil himself wanted to protect earth.
And thus, they defended it from their Father, whom they very much feared, and had kept it from Him.
God, in that particular universe, created a Parallax to destroy earth from within.
But His sons now help defended it. They gave out their will to the people of earth. Granting them the ability to defend their world.
# Will:
What makes up a man based on his choices, lifestyle, and mentality. On earth, they had three wills:
Weak-willed
Average-willed
Strong-willed
The strong-willed were mostly chosen by the twin lords, together with a few average-willed, to defend earth from the servers of Parallax.
# Tranxcended:
Those that receive the will from the lord of light, Elivar, were called the Tranxcended, and they were based on ranks as their will,- in this system:
The Kindled
The Enlightened
The Redeemed
The Woven
The Crowned
The Hallowed
# Beyonders:
Those that are chosen by the lord of darkness, the devil himself, Lucivar, were called the Beyonders, and they were ranked according to the strength of their will in this system:
The Emberbound
The Stirred
The Hollowed
The Twisted
The Cursed
The Unholy
# Parallax:
This was a dimension created by God as a curse upon earth, to destroy it from within.
Only the chosen warriors can see and access this dimension.
#Parallax Servers:
These were the evil that lived in the Parallax dimension. They are the entities that made up the Parallax that tends to destroy the earth. They are the…
# Velmare / Night Howlers: These are one out of the other entities, of the parallax. They are, though, different from the rest, since they are the demons of the nightmares.
Like the others, they feed on the souls of the people by binding them in their nightmare until they die.
And once they die, the Velmares are free to creep into the world. They are of three ranks:
Alpha
Omega
Zetta
# Other Parallax Servers:
Beasts
Demons
Devils
Monsters
Shadefields
Dreadlords
# Echoes:
Echoes are like essence—memories, power, and will of the Parallax servers.
When a Parallax is killed by a Tranxcended, an echo is evolved.
Multiple echoes form a Lumen Thread, and Lumen Threads are what determine the ranking up of a Tranxcended.
# Masks:
These are just like echoes but are evolved only when a Parallax server is killed by a Beyonder.
Multiple masks form a Brand Thread, which determines the ranking up of a Beyonder.
# Veilbounds:
These are sacred people selected by the twin lords to carry out a very important and holy mission.
These missions were to go about and collect the souls of the dead before they fall into the consumption of the Parallax servers.
For anytime a soul is taken by the Parallax, earth is drawn near to doom.
They are of three divisions:
# Watchers:
These units sense disturbed souls that are threatened to be killed by the Parallax servers. And then fight for it or alert the others for help.
# The Guiders:
This unit is tasked with collecting the souls of the dead before they die.
They are normally called Death, since they are the last thing a human sees before they die.
# Wardens:
They are charged with taking the souls to their destinations. So as to keep them away from parallax
The fate of this universe rested solely in the hands of the Tranxcended, Beyonders, and the Veilbounds, they protect the people of this world, and makes sure that no, or a very little amount of soul is taken by the parallax.
This is because the soul is what makes up a man, his inner energy, and also what holds their will. And if taken by the parallax strengthens it.
The Tranxcended, Beyonders, and the Veilbounds, were called the TRINITY.
