General guidelines for understanding the power levels in the story.

  First off, everything is divided into levels, stages, and realms. As the story progresses, there will be more details for each beyond the first realm. Since the first book mostly focuses on the first realm, that will be the most detailed. They are all divided by nine with varying access to different powers.

  Meridians: Pathway in which natural energy (Qi) flow throughout the body.

  Dantian: Central hub located above the navel where all Qi is stored and travels through.
