What Is Veil Energy?
Veil Energy is not magic.
It is not elemental.
It is existence in its rawest, most chaotic state — a current of power leaking from a hidden parallel world known only as the Veil.
This energy does not obey physics, logic, or time. It bends space, breaks laws, and reshapes the world around it.
Centuries ago, when the first Veil Tears appeared, it began flowing into our world. From that moment on, humanity changed forever.

Who Can Use It?
Every human is born with a dormant Veil Thread — a silent connection to the Veil.
But only a rare few can awaken it.
These individuals are known as the Marked.
Some awaken in childhood, others in a near-death moment. A few are chosen by fate.
Their souls resonate with the Veil, allowing them to wield powers that defy reality.
But there's another way.
Veil Energy can be passed down through DNA.
Clans, bloodlines, and family houses have long used selective breeding to pass Veil strength to their descendants.
However—
This practice is forbidden.
The Council of the Hundred, the governing body of the Veil World, has declared genetic transmission of Veil Energy a crime punishable by death.
Any clan caught manipulating or engineering bloodline powers is subject to immediate execution.
Still… whispers say some factions continue the practice in secret.

The Awakening Stages
There are three universal stages of awakening:
Stage I – Thread Recognition
The user first becomes aware of their Veil Thread. Minor boosts occur: speed, instinct, resilience. Some instinctual abilities begin to surface.
Stage II – Veil Manifestation
The user's Veil Type manifests — a unique power reflecting their soul. Combat potential emerges fully.
Stage III – Veil Synchronization
The user's mind and Veil align. Energy cost lowers, control tightens. Personalized techniques evolve.
Only elites go beyond this. Those few forge their own paths — such as Swordcore, Whip Conduction, or Concept Resonance.

Veil Types
Each user manifests a Veil Type, determined by their emotions, experiences, and inner nature.
The five major categories are:
1. Elemental Veil
Powers based on elements: fire, wind, lightning, etc. Direct and destructive, but limited unless evolved.
2. Construct Veil
Creates weapons, tools, armor, or spirit companions.
3. Binding Veil
Used for control. Chains, tendrils, traps, and whips—like the infamous Blackwhip.
4. Internal Veil
Enhances the body: speed, strength, awareness. Favored by martial artists.
5. Conceptual Veil (extremely rare)
Manipulates intangible forces like silence, memory, weight, emotion, or time.
Some advanced users evolve into hybrid types, such as Veil Edge, a blade-type technique combining wind with sword precision.

How Veil Combat Works
Fighting with Veil energy isn't about overwhelming force.
It requires mastery of three laws:
Resonance — A soul in sync with its Veil type acts without hesitation.
Flow Control — Veil Energy is wild. Mishandling it leads to physical breakdown or collapse.
Discipline — Veil combat is as mental as it is physical. Breath, thought, posture, and timing all matter.
Combat at elite levels includes:
Terrain alteration
Hyper-speed movement
Veil canceling
Sound manipulation
Dimensional shifts (rare)

The Two Worlds
There are two worlds:
The Real World, where ordinary people live.
And the Veil World — a parallel realm of floating islands, broken moons, ancient ruins, and impossible skies.
The Veil World is only accessible to the Marked, or through Veil Tears.
These rips in space-time occur naturally or through unstable Veil usage.
Most humans never see the Veil.
And those who do… usually never return.

The Council of the Hundred
To preserve balance between the worlds, the Council of the Hundred was formed.
They are the unseen rulers of the Veil World:
Composed of warriors, historians, scientists, and former legends
They monitor Veil activity and judge Veil crimes
They forbid public knowledge of the Veil
They enforce the ban on Veil Inheritance
Their word is law.
Their agents are feared.
But not all Marked agree with their methods.
Some resist. Others rebel. Some vanish.
And some… like the exiled warrior Kairo, return with power too great to ignore.

Final Warning
The Veil is not a gift.
It is not magic.
It is not a power to be praised.
It is a burden. A contract. A whisper in your soul that never sleeps.
Those who push too far risk Veil Decay — the loss of humanity, sanity, and self.
Some call it evolution.
Others call it damnation.
But the moment your Veil awakens, your fate is no longer your own.
You have become—
Veilbound.
