Otherworldly User

Biodata

Nature and Operation

• Wenren Sheng describes an Otherworldly User as an oval seed produced by his world's invasion of the Origin Realm. It exists physically between its host's chest and abdomen while possessing a mist-like reflection in the Mysterious World. 609 1076
• In the Mysterious World, Otherworldly Users appear as clusters of mist. Faint connecting passages between them can transmit power and information. 516
• An Otherworldly Species functions as a vessel: learned mysterious skills are packaged as ready-to-use templates, allowing the host to invoke them with source power rather than perform lengthy casting procedures. 1087
• Otherworldly Users act as filters against dangers inherent to Mysterious Power, compared to Earth's atmosphere shielding humanity from natural hazards. 450
• Only creatures native to the relevant spacetime can activate Otherworldly Users; outside entities cannot use them. 732

Ranks and Advancement

Activation and Growth

• Activation conditions differ greatly between individual Otherworldly Users. Some require more than a dozen conditions, while others require fifty or sixty; qualified candidates may require specialized preparation. 2
• Compatibility is a major obstacle. An activator may fail to activate a newly discovered Otherworldly User and must sometimes exchange its usage rights for one more suited to them. 646
• Growth depends on satisfying an Otherworldly User's particular needs, allowing it to draw power from the Mysterious World. 703
• Certain Otherworldly Users can absorb Mysterious Power independently as long as their host follows their behavioral rules. 1076
• Activating multiple Otherworldly Users is extraordinarily rare; even activating one is described as tremendous luck. 646
• A host may lose their Otherworldly User through removal or abandonment, leaving them severely weakened or socially ruined. 301 965

Abilities and Functions

Mysterious Skill Use

• Otherworldly Users enable a vast range of skills, including combat, defense, reconnaissance, healing, stealth, mobility, divination, and soul-related arts. 330 727
• Skills can be invoked far more conveniently than conventional spellcasting, often without materials or lengthy preparation. 1076 1087
• A host's available training paths are constrained by their Otherworldly User's nature; for example, Wu Shanshan's Seed of Fear cannot readily support light-element skills. 1126
• Some hosts possess unusual versatility, but Wenren Sheng is explicitly regarded as exceptional for being able to learn almost anything. 1126

Protection and Combat

• Otherworldly Users naturally protect their hosts and provide strong resistance to mystical corruption. 1090 1126
• Their offensive power generally exceeds their defensive power, making initiative especially decisive in battles between users. 861
• They greatly surpass Ordinary Persons in physical performance, though modern firearms and heavy weapons can still injure them. 826 916
• At high levels, users can display effects that appear godlike to Ordinary Persons, including extreme destructive force and highly specialized mysterious abilities. 450 826

Resonance and Connections

• Registered Otherworldly Users form a mysterious connection with a special Otherworldly User used by the Patrol Division to prevent unauthorized loss or leakage. 133
• Long-Term Resonance allows a powerful host to share protection and strengthen the abilities of connected people, though it also increases their chance of encountering Anomalies. 540 551
• Mysterious connections can also link users, souls, and remote assets such as puppets through the Mysterious World. 516 1065

Intelligence and Autonomy

• Most Otherworldly Species possess only instincts centered on strengthening themselves. 1111
• Some possess human-like intelligence and distinct personalities, allowing them to guide a host's development more effectively. 1111
• Intelligent Otherworldly Users may abandon or switch hosts if their demands are not met. 1111 965
• Otherworldly Users do not inherently distinguish good from evil; cruel mages and members of the Sole Supremacy Society can still gain their power. 1076

Ownership and Regulation

Societal Role

• Otherworldly Users are needed to resolve bizarre incidents and provide benefits beyond ordinary technology, which is used to justify their privileges and social importance. 207 579
• Their rarity encourages internal cultivation and promotion: the small population of users makes organizations more likely to nurture capable successors. 393
• Their existence remains politically contentious, particularly over whether they should be shared publicly, privately owned, or removed from strategic institutions such as space exploration. 732 1081
• Without institutional restraint, powerful users can exploit Ordinary Persons and rapidly turn toward brutality or the “Demon” path. 572 850 916
