==Explanations==
* Path of Ascension and Path of Corruption:
Each stage of the Path of Ascension and Path of Corruption carries its own significance. The former represents the journey toward divinity, while the latter signifies a descent into profanity.
The dormant can awaken. From this awakening, some transcend the mundane and embark on the divine journey, becoming Ascended. Others succumb to corruption, becoming Fallen.
The essence of the second stage is transformation, and the third stage continues this transformation. Ascended individuals transcend their mortal origins, becoming Transcendent, while the Fallen are further corrupted by the abyss, becoming Corrupted.
The fourth stage is characterized by authority. This form of authority surpasses other types of power, as a god must be a god of something or someone.
In the fourth stage, Sovereigns begin to consolidate their domains. It is speculated that mastering a Domain can pave the way for a Supreme to advance on the Path of Ascension, becoming Sacred.
The Path of Ascension is the journey to divinity, with each step bringing one closer to godhood. If Transcendence marks the break from the mundane, Supremacy is the assertion of power over the world, laying the foundation for future apotheosis. The next step signifies the attainment of divine qualities, where a Sacred being is already a lesser deity.
*Distinction between advancing to a higher "Class" and achieving a new "Rank":
Advancing to a new Rank brings about a profound transformation. It enhances the quality of one's cores and essence, bestows new abilities, and allows deeper access to one's Aspect, resulting in a significant increase in power.
In contrast, reaching a new Class primarily affects the quantity of essence, leading to a more gradual increase in power. This advancement provides extra strength and essence capacity. Unlike other Awakened, there is no limit to their capacity to store essence and reinforce their body.
There are many Masters, but not all are equal. Similarly, there are a few dozen Saints, but their power levels vary. This disparity arises from the nature of the Nightmares they have challenged, which determines the Memories and Echoes they received, the battles they fought, and the experiences they gained. Challenging more unique Nightmares entails greater risk but also promises greater rewards.
