What is a beyonder?

For example, our main charter begins on the Klein Moretie, Sir route, where focus is on intuition, foresight and rituals. Leonard and Dun Smith, two members of the Nighthox, belong to the way of sleep, focused around the mental flexibility and manipulation in the dream. Audrey is an audience who is trained in seeing and affecting human behavior. Algeria, following a sailor-mentalist, sailor route, bends to the original and storm-based powers. Other characters like Daily Simone and Old Neel follow the paths bound by death, souls and prohibited knowledge.
There are a total of 22 routes, and each individual gives a separate set of abilities because a person moves through it.
What are sequences?
Each route is structured like a ladder of sequences, the sequence is counting down from 9 (weakest) to sequence 1 (on the edge of God). Klein Sequence 9: Starts from Sir. Their next step sequence 8: Clown, which provides new powers, but also risks maximum.
Here is described how power tier usually breaks:
Lower sequence (9-8): Early level powers. Beyond the basic supernatural tricks can be performed but most of the human beings remain.
Middle sequence (7-5): The powers are strong and more dangerous. Mental stress increases. Clain collapses such as Dun (System 7: nightmare) and Daily (Spirit 7: Spirit Medium) operate at this level.
High sequence (4-1): Dimigod-level capabilities. At this stage can manipulate large scale reality, but there is a risk of persistent insanity or losing control.
To proceed to the next sequence, a beyonder should consume the next medicine in its path. But it is not as simple as drinking and leveling.
How do you level?
The key to progressively progressive through sequences is called the acting method. This is a main part God of mysteries Power system and one reason it sounds very grounded and original.
Here is described how it works: Each sequence is bound by one title – the seer, clown, soul medium, nightmare, etc. – and this title is not just symbolic. Need a beyonder Work Like the title to digest the medicine properly. In the case of clan, as a seer, they need to be attached to the rituals of speculation and prediction. So he joined the local speculation club.

By acting according to the nature of their sequence, Beyonders gradually stabilize the chaotic elements within the medicine. This process is called digestion. Only after completely digesting a medicine, they can safely go to the next one.
Most do not know about acting method beyond. When Klein shared it with other members of his tarot club – such as Algeria (Folk of Rage) and Audrey (sequence 9: spectator) – they are shocked. Algeria, an experienced sailor with its own secrets, immediately understands how valuable this information is.
What happens if you fail?
If a beyonder fails to digest a medicine or proceeds very quickly, they risk losing their purity. This disadvantage of control could be converted into violent, distorted demons or inhuman beings, which they were consumed by the power they tried to exploit. Beyond failure are often dangerous and unstable, which is why official organizations such as nighthox try to regulate the use of potion and monitor their activity.
Who controls all this?
The supernaturally hidden is hidden from the public. Instead, it is managed by major religious and military institutions. Each church dominates some paths. For example, the Church of the Evernight Devi oversees the path of darkness and death and runs the nighthox.
Other official groups and evil organizations compete on magical knowledge, medicine, and ancient texts that help decodes the rules of being a beyonder.

Antigonus family notebook
The Antigonous family was once deeply entangled in secret research to powerful nobles. But like many people who woke up very quickly through Bayonder ranks, they were destroyed by the powers they had demanded to master. One of his living remains is a notebook that has handwritten records of his studies, rituals, and the most dangerous, Beyonder Potion Formula.
This Notebook plays an important role in the trip to Klein. It provides rare and secret knowledge – especially about the acting method – and introduces the clan to the idea that climbing the sequence ladder is possible without stopping for madness, if one is disciplined and careful. It is also a cursed object, which is capable of triggering hallucinations and mental decline when he is handled wrong.
What are seal artifacts?
Beyond beyond, using powerful magical objects which are called seal artifacts. They are rare, dangerous and unique. Think of them like cursed devices that can give you incredible power, but they come with side effects that vary from uncomfortable to life-threatening. The artifacts are ranked from grade 3 (at least dangerous) to grade 0 (most dangerous). Due to their power, the artifacts sealed are heavily preserved and usually controlled by only high-rankings.

An ideal example of a seal artifacts in God of mysteries Anime is 2-049 (or antigonous family puppet), which is a grade 2 seal artifacts. To track Ray Bieber, a suspected descendant of the antigonous family, a painted prank face in Tingen City and a wide smile with a wide smile wearing oil-darker brown dresses, joint dolls.
The puppet inactively slows down nearly, both mentally and physically. Once caught under its influence, you will need external help – usually to break a physical tap – free. If not saved in time, you get paralyzed and completely under its control.
What is gray fog?
Klein achieved access to a mysterious place over the world of soul, known as gray fog. From here, he can communicate with others, perform rituals, and even protect himself from divine intervention. It also becomes the basis of operation for the tarot club.
Does this power system make the system so unique?
Electricity system in God of mysteries Both strict and flexible. This runs on clear rules, but allows for mystery, improvement and development. The acting method converts every new power into a test of identity. Proceeding through sequences cannot be obtained by cruel force, but needs to be self-conscious, discipline, and learn how to wear it without mask.
This is not a system that you can cheat. You have to earn every step, and if you are careless, you cannot escape the climb. It creates a world that feels both magical and reliable, with no shortcuts to become powerful. You have to study, adapt and survive. This is the one that keeps the world on the ground, even it becomes more bizarre.
If you are just starting anime or novel, take your time. The story does not hurry its explanation, but once you begin to see how the pieces fit, the world opens in a clever, satisfactory way.
