Souls and Soul Attribute

Souls can be described as several things. One could say that they are the representation of one's true 'self'. Others say that it is the ethereal organ that stores information such as the mind, emotions, memories, and will. And others say that it's the amalgamation of the Soul Attribute in the World of Genesis and that such phenomena do not exist in other universes or worlds.

However, in truth, the existence of the 'soul' is real in every world, not just Genesis. Kireina and other reincarnation from different worlds were reincarnated through bringing the souls of their original worlds and putting them into a newborn body through the actions of existence capable of manipulating them.

In most worlds where Magic or the Soul Attribute does not exist, the soul is often limited to its original form, and it may grow stronger or weaker as the individual grows up through the years of its life.

In worlds such as Genesis, where the amount of Magic Energy and Life Energy is so vast that it freely flows through its atmosphere, the strengthening of one's soul using such energies is possible.

The Soul Attribute was then naturally born as it held an important position on the existence of large amounts of Souls, its strengthening and its components, which can affect the world and interact with other more common Attributes such as Fire, Water or Life.

The soul of someone who reincarnates from another world will immediately receive a large increase in its richness when it is reborn in Genesis as a new living being.

Usually, due to this 'boost', the soul of someone who reincarnates from another world will end up becoming stronger than the average living being's soul, and may be able to recall information from its previous life and even possess intelligence and advanced memory storage abilities even when it is born as a mere Caterpillar, whose brain wouldn't be capable of rationalizing such complex thoughts and store vast amounts of memory as Kireina when she was reborn.

Souls have a unique component named Soul Energy, which is a special type of energy that can bypass the barriers of worlds (dimensions), it is often said that such Energy is deeply connected with Divine Energy, the power capable of breaking the bonds of reality, that only Gods wield.

In most worlds were the power level of people is often exceptionally low, such as Earth, the Soul barely has any uses, and its existence is so faint that it's incredibly hard to notice.

However, in worlds such as Genesis, where the Soul Attribute exists as a natural component of existence, the Souls are naturally stronger and are capable of exercising a varied array of abilities and powers.

By consuming other beings Souls, through the refined use of Soul Attribute in Spells such as Soul Devour, one's soul can be strengthened to greater heights. Becoming stronger, faster, richer, and in later stages even capable of becoming physical.

Souls in Genesis have nine known Ranks, each rank showcases an 'evolution' within one's soul. It does not imply that the soul becomes stronger in the ways of offense, but that its components become of higher quality. A strong being could have a soul rank of 2, but still be capable of defeating someone with a soul rank of 6, as there are several other factors than the use of one's soul in battle.

However, usually, those who reach high ranks of the soul are already very strong, due to the difficulty of the task alone.

Increasing one's rank brings benefits such as the ability to consciously manipulate the soul, mold it, move it, and even add other attributes to it. The advanced use of a soul will lead to one of the most used techniques in Genesis for beings of higher realms of power such as gods, Auras.

An Aura is the representation of one's soul and also it becomes stronger based on Soul Stats, a new feature brought by the System in Genesis. Also, the rank of the soul represents how many Skill Points can someone get through leveling up, the higher the Rank, the more points are gained per level.

With the ability to use Auras, livings beings are capable of using their Souls as weapons, mold them with even more ease, make them physical, cast spells with them, enhance one's physical body, or magic power with it, and so on.

Beings of a Soul Rank of 9 are usually Demi-Gods or above, and they have managed to reach something named Divine Soul.

A Soul can keep growing stronger aside from the Ranks through Soul Mutation, a special ability of the Souls in Genesis and similar worlds where a Soul will undergo an automatic mutation on its components after the user had grown strong enough, usually happening when they obtain a powerful Attribute or evolve Skills related to the Soul.

The strongest souls are those of Supreme Gods, whose souls are said to be so vast that they could easily cover the entire world of Genesis. Their abilities and powers using their Auras are incredibly strong as well. And it is said that the World's Will entire existence is a powerful Soul made entirely out of Divine Energy.
