*Runebridge*
Runebridge, a metropolis in which Ethan lived in with his sister, Rhea Fen and the mother, Mia is one of the most prosperous cities in the world. It was one of the metropolises that didn't dwell on only technology like other cities but also added energy crystals to make the living more advanced.
This type of technology was named "Lexicon technology" as even some cars weren't built with the petrol engines anymore but rather engines powered by energy crystals specially crafted by experienced Lexicon users.
Nexus spire, the city centre, had a towering skyscraper of energy crystals and alloy which glowed like a second sun at night. It was like a power plant and a cultural symbol of Runebridge.
Onyx Bastion, a strong,dark and unbreakable fortress was the special military base for both army and Scriptweavers built atop a remote mountainous area.
The military base had Arcane simulators which were virtual arenas that could shift terrains and Runeforges which were labs where weapons were created and infused with lumaflux for better efficiency.
There were energy barriers around the fortress to detect any danger and drones which patrolled the surroundings all the time.
Scriptweavers were a category of awakeners who didn't use normal means to level or evolve like the Chronarchs. Unlike the Chronarchs who just gained a skill and evolved after immense understanding of their power and more knowledge from other extraordinary times.extraordinary tomes and scrolls, Scriptweavers used their understanding of their power, tomes and scrolls in addition to other special artifacts and tools to craft their own skill and evolved.
This made the Scriptweavers earn the name "The living Codex". As Chronarchs have to use the skill they've obtained from their Lexicon as the way it is, the skills crafted by a Scriptweavers could adapt, modify itself and evolve into higher forms.
This was one of the advantages of the Scriptweavers over the Chronarchs but the path of a Scriptweavers wasn't an easy one and therefore only few embarked on its journey.
Because of this the rankings between Scriptweavers and the Chronarchs were also different.
The rankings of the Scriptweavers are;
Grand Compiler (Strongest)
Master Scriptweaver
Runic Architect
Code Sage
Logic Weaver
Syntax Adept
Threadling (Weakest)
The rankings of the Chronarchs are;
Grandmaster (Strongest)
Master
Diamond
Platinum
Gold
Silver
Bronze (Weakest)
With every rank up there was a natural phenomenon a Chronarch or Scriptweaver gained which wasn't part of their powers but was also of good help in battle.
A Grandmaster or Grandcompiler could briefly stop time but it only worked on those who ranked lower than them and it was just one of their the Grandmaster or Grandcompiler's level up abilities.
A Master or a Master Scriptweaver could compress Lumaflux under their feet to make them walk in the air without falling.
A Diamond ranked or a Runic Architect could burst forward at high velocity without acceleration. Their speed could reach over Mach 30-60 with each burst but it depends on the awakener's stamina and Lumaflux. Moreover, as they move up the ranks they still retain their speed ability before gaining the ability to walk in the air and then the time stoppage ability and many more.
Grimlores were special kinds of beast with special abilities which could be related to Lexicons. Grimlores are beings who were discovered after the first Lexicons were also awakened. Grimlores also spawned with other kinds of beasts with special abilities as well.
The rankings of Grimlores are;
Primordial Manuscripts (Strongest)
Scripture sovereign
Lorelords
Codexfiends
Runebeasts
Glyphspawns
Shadeborn.(Weakest)
Beasts are given the same rankings as the chronarchs.
Scriptweavers and Grimlores rankings have five sub rankings before another major rank can be achieved.
