Relics

## Definitions

Relics are based on mythology, great historical figures, legends, folk tales, and popular novels which brought forth innovation and wealth, allowing anyone to increase their status.

A relic can be an object, a person or an entity from a famous folktale, person or even a god.

A relic life is as long as it is spoken about that Relic legends, history or anything similar.

The higher the rank a relic is, the more reputation and status it has in the hierarchy and world of relics. The more is know about its origin, the more powerful it is.

If a relic is not used, it will become a regular antique.

If a relic disobeys the orders of one of the commanders, it will be hunted by the **Inquisitors** who will proceed to destroy its core.

If a person gets a bounty, that person will be chased by a law enforcer Relic that will search and capture that person to claim the reward.

Relics can use at most 70% of their abilities without a Owner but when it got one it can use close to or right 100%.

They hate to have a human king.

The Apocalypse Relics modified the original nature of relics from helping the humans to killing them.

In the Novel, no one can hear the voices of Relic outside of a Tomb, except Seo but in the Manhwa, everyone can hear the voices regardless.

## History

The origin of Relics is dealt with in the webnovel "Return of the Disaster Class Hero" which serves as a prequel to Tomb Raider King. The relics were originally Gods of the Divine World who were punished by the Disaster-Class Hero for attempting to harm humans and were put into a cycle of reincarnation which caused their souls to be reborn at various points in space and time as Relics to be used by Humans.

The Relics are in search of a King.

They had suppressed their powers until the Heirlooms appeared to not harm the human body too much. This was due to the Disaster-Class Hero's belief that Gods existed due to the prayers of Humans and they should not be able to harm their creators.

## Perception of Humans

Relics have always hated humans and will do anything they can to ensure they suffer for eternity. If the three greatest human desires were food, sex, and sleep, the three greatest desires of relics were to look down on humans, ridicule humans, and kill humans. However, since they are tools, they will lose power and vanish completely if no human takes them as their masters. Also, for higher ranked relics, they would lose their powers and become antiques if they do things to help humans. Furthermore, they only want the worst of humans as their masters which are people who would do anything for money and power. Consequently, higher ranked relics such as Zeus's Eagle and Prometheus's Relic decided to form contracts with greedy and power hungry individuals in which, in exchange for granting humans their powers, they must use them to control the world and enslave the people. This, in turn, led to the creation of Pandora.

However, not all relics despise humans. For instance, Set's Pile likes their fried chicken whereas Osiris's Hourglass likes watching K-pop stars on television. Although relics are normally looked down upon and executed for liking humans, their reasons were too petty and personal to be deemed as crimes that deserve punishment.

Sometime later, the Crow, an Evil God/Divine-grade relic that is more powerful and more dangerous than normal God/Divine-grade relics, decided to betray relics and side with humanity by forming a contract with a human in order to consume and absorb the powers of all the higher ranked relics. The motive behind its betrayal was that it realized the true effects of relics on humans and how it would lead to the destruction of mankind and the world if Pandora and the greedy monopolizers continue on their paths to control the world and enslave the people. After going against what relics are planning, it tried to rebel but the relics eventually succeeded in tempting its foolish owner to abandon the Crow which allowed them to slay the human and imprison the Crow.

After being imprisoned for a long time in The Great Prison, the Crow woke up at the sound of Seo Joo-Heon's loud and angry voice after he and his team were betrayed and thrown away by Chairman Kwon Tae-Joon and the other members of TKBM. It first views him as a greedy and foolish thief before becoming intrigued at the fact that Seo Joo-Heon can hear and understand it. Consequently, after listening to him talk for a while, the Crow acknowledged that it would be a waste for a talented individual like Seo Joo-Heon to perish here and decided to give him a chance to try and claim the throne of a king this time as it forms and concludes a partial contract with him and sends his consciousness back in time 15 years. After all, it seems that, unlike the first owner of the Crow, Seo Joo-Heon has better compatibility with the relic. Their main goals are also aligned since Seo Joo-Heon wants to take all the relics in the world for himself and is not afraid of destroying them, treating them like trash, and disregarding their beliefs and temptations whereas the Crow wants to consume and absorb the power of higher ranked relics in order to prevent the destruction of mankind and the world. To clarify, they are totally like birds of the same feather.

## Heritability

This phenomenon is about that a member of the family that is a very good Relic User could be at the same level as the one who it is. Like how Seo Joo-Heon is good at Dominance and Seo Joo-Heon is good at Sociability.

## Forms

* Relics Changing their Appearance
1/1
### Relic/Antique Form

It is the basic form of a relic. It can be an old sword, mirror or it can be even an animal, insect or any type of being on the earth.

### Camouflage/Hidden Form

Relics cherish their true forms but when someone wants to surpress a relic, they have to change its appearance. This act is very shameful to do because they don't like to be changed.

The higher the grade of the relic is, the harder is to change its appearance.

It is evan more harder to change its appearance to something that is completely different than it is originally, like making a weapon into a cleaning tool.

### Ultimate/True Form

It is the most powerful form of a relic. In this form, the relic can activate all its power and can vary from Relic to Relic.

### Human Form

Every relic from rank S and above can transform into a human but because they consider humans as lowlife creatures, they despise taking the form of humans.

## Types

#### Possession/Bound

Relics that are of this type don't have durability, but they have tiredness. The user who made a contract with this type of relic get a tattoo/ownership crest and with that they ca summon the relic any time they want. Only the contracted user can utilize this type of relic. A downside of using this type of relic is the risk, the higher the grade of the relic is, the higher the risk is. Risk makes the user more sick and fatigued and the only way to recover better is by using healing relics and a good relic user specialized in this type of relics. When a person makes a contact with a possession-type relic, the name of the personal will be on a part of the relic and the owner will get an ownership mark somewhere on the body. The ownership mark can summon the relic at any time the owner wants. If the owner dies, the name on the relic will disappear and the relic will become ownerless. If someone wants to make a contact with this type of relic, the user has to match the needs of the relic. If someone has more Dominance than the user, that person can change the ownership to its.

#### Consumable

Consumable relics have a certain amount of durability that decreases every time that it is used. anybody can use these relics as they do not have a specific owner. When the durability reaches zero, the relic is destroyed.

#### Parasite

It is an extremely rare type of relic. The only way to take a parasitic relic from its host is by killing it or taking by force after an operation that results in the lost of some parts of the body.

### Evolution

It was previously impossible for a relic to evolve but after Seo Joo-Heon got the Zoroaster's Avesta Relic, he got the ability to evolve Relics.

## Destruction

* Destroying a core using a execution tool
* The relic starting to perish
* Destroyed Relic
1/3The only way to completely destroy a relic is to destroy its core. When a relic's core is destroyed, the soul of the relic and all its memories will vanish. Only Yoo Jae-Ha can repair a relic whose core is destroyed.

Inquisitor relics use a type of relics that were blessed with the power of a commander.

## Berserk Mode

* The Relic getting attached by Dominance aura.
* The connection between the relic-owner getting cut.
* The relic starting to get berserk, attacking the one who wants to dominate it.
* The relic aura getting released.
* An explosion of aura.
* The relic starting to attack the attacker.
1/6When a person tries to forcefully dominate a relic and doesn't have sufficient dominance, the relic can become berserk and try to destroy and kill the person and its surroundings.

The other time when a relic can go berserk when it doesn't want to do what the user wants or when its beside a relic that is a rival or something similar to that Relic.

## Relic Side Effects

This phenomenon happens when a person uses a relic too much, used too many relics at the same time, used a relic for too long, or used a relic that it isn't suited for that person.

Basically they would get sick for not knowing their limits.

## Processed Relics Goods

Clothing made by fabric, thread or fibre-shaped relics.
