Levels

In the world of Superhumans there exists a thing known as "Levels" which are also referred to as "Stages" or "Evolutions" in which they allow a superhuman to achieve power, increase their capacity for said power, manifest abilities, and enhance said abilities.

**Level 1:** Known as the "Rebirth Stage" in which the human body is broken down and remade into a superhuman's body. During this stage the superhuman's body is at it's most vulnerable as their powers are erratic and unknown to them. Their body is stronger than a normal human's but still weak and killable by regular humans. It is notable that during this time the superhuman's individual abilities will begin manifesting during this stage and shape around the superhuman's psychology, their mindset, and their genetic compatibility as a base and will not fully form for some time.

**Level 2**: Known as the "Balancing stage" during this stage the superhuman's basic principality like in the prior stage will strengthen but to an even higher degree, along with granting a substantial increase in both power and the superhuman's capacity to grow said power. The superhuman's abilities by this point should have properly manifested, balanced between their mindset, genetic compatibility, and the power gifted to them. It should be noted that more abilities may manifest later.

Something interesting to note about level 2 is that it's an essential stage to achieve because from this level they can surpass whatever monster granted them their power although this heavily depends on the monster.

To reach this stage there are various methods such as:

* Overexposure to monster material.
* Overuse of power.
* Heavy trauma both physical and mental.
* Xanthe's Serum.

**Level 3**: Known as the "Strengthening stage" is perhaps the most important stage a superhuman can reach. During this stage their body is no longer evolving in set intervals but constantly. At this stage the superhuman's strength, speed, endurance, their body as a whole, will continuously improve as they grow their powers as their pool of energy increases.

This means at the "Strengthening stage" there is no longer a cap to how much power a superhuman can accumulate. As a long as they keep training their power will keep growing and their body will follow suit. Theoretically, at this evolution the Superhuman's body could reach a state similar to a fifth evolution superhuman, through simply improving their powers over time although of course their rate of improvement would need to be astronomical as a level five will be constantly growing as well.

**Level 4**: Known as the "Limit breaker stage" the superhuman will break all their human limitations and even some of their limitations of their powers. The superhuman will no longer need to eat, drink, or even breathe to survive although it still provides benefits. For some superhumans feats such as moving faster than light may become achievable if they have a power suited for it. Things a power may not have worked on prior may work now such as an ability that only worked on living organisms may now work on inanimate objects.

**Level 5**: Known as "The final stage" is the fifth and final evolution of a superhuman. At this level the superhuman is complete. Their body has fully embraced their power, all abilities have manifested, will have manifested. Superhumans who have reached this level whether they have the power of the weakest monster or the strongest, have essentially ascended humanity entirely. All the humans of the world, would be unable to stop even one of these individuals.
