Background / History
Ryan created the Spirit World after his Spirituality consumed multiple Origins and separated Order from Chaos within a nascent Interface. He formed its Sky, Earth, Water, and Life, then named the completed world the Spirit World on the seventh day. Its creation drew the attention of the Lady of the Night and provoked resistance from Khaos itself. 17 19
The new world was initially isolated from the present world by Space-Time. Ryan later used the God King Divinity to give its surface a recognized right to open toward the material realm, while the Magic Net reduced the conflict that direct contact between the two worlds would otherwise cause. 121 126
As the Spirit World developed, Souls from the Golden Age and native spiritual Lifeforms formed societies within it. Their Dream Domains became part of the Third Layer’s circulation, while the later creation of Reincarnation established the Spirit World as a major destination and regulator of dead Souls. 79 137
Structure & Geography
- Seven Layers — Ryan divided the Interface from deep to shallow into seven layers, each associated with a Spirit Moon. Deeper layers can observe the moons and scenery of shallower layers, but the reverse is impossible. 22
- Mount Sinai — The Divine Mountain runs through all seven layers as the Spirit World’s central axis. It becomes stronger as the Interface develops and is described as indispensable to the world’s structure. 215 290
- Spirit Moons — Seven crescent moons illuminate the layers in turn. The Moon is regarded as the Spirit World’s “eye” and a major source of Spirituality. 22 76 109
- Core and Lord’s Palace — The deepest region contains Ryan’s palace and the world’s core structures, including the Well of Reincarnation. 29 393
Documented Layers
| Layer | Name / Function | Known Features |
|---|---|---|
| First Layer | Phantom Spirit World | A black-and-white counterpart to the material surface. Damage to its environment gradually repairs itself. 29 142 |
| Second Layer | Communication Spirit World / True Spirit World | Contains dense Spirituality and a broad ecosystem of winged, scaled, aquatic, and plant Lifeforms. 29 |
| Third Layer | Dream Spirit World | Built from reshaped Dream Realms; serves as the transition between Order and Chaos and contains Dream Domains. 66 79 |
| Fourth Layer | Ten Thousand Spirits World | The realm of Reincarnation, governed through the Well of Reincarnation and connected to the Underworld by the River of Forgetfulness. 137 220 |
| Fifth Layer | — | A formerly chaotic realm containing Faith Kingdoms, Outer Layer Realms, and the developing Elemental Planes. 232 372 387 |
| Seventh Layer | Lord’s Palace | The deepest destination visited by honored guests such as Themis. 29 |
Inhabitants
Spirit World Lifeforms
The Spirit World supports Lifeforms fundamentally different from the Gods of early Khaos. They possess thoughts but generally lack Divinity, can age and perish, and often develop through competition, adaptation, and the accumulation of Spirituality. 29 30
- Wandering Soul Jellyfish — Weak First Layer creatures that reproduce through mitosis and occupy the bottom of the local food chain. 29
- Native beasts and plants — The Second Layer contains winged creatures, scaled animals, fish, aquatic Life, and spiritually attuned plants. 29
- Spirits of the Golden Age — Souls influenced by Divine Power, possessing exceptional longevity and strength after death. 79
- Dream-born Lifeforms — Beings formed from powerful or unusual dreams; some possess appearances and instincts unlike any Life of the current era. 66 212
Spirit World Lords
Powerful spirits can infect and expand Dream Realm fragments into Dream Domains. Ryan recognizes their ownership of these domains, allowing them to become quasi-godlike Spirit World Lords.
- Their authority is tied to the scale and proportion of their Dream Domain within the Third Layer. 79
- They have no inherent Divinity, but can draw effectively inexhaustible power within their own world when protected by the Spirit World’s rules. 143
- They are subject to the Spirit World’s authority; Lords aligned with Hypnos lost their former status after his expulsion. 214 215
Laws & Functions
Spirituality and Interface Suppression
The Spirit World is composed of Spiritual power and exerts strong suppression on outsiders. Its laws became notably stronger after the Codex of Creation was integrated into its core. 44
- Uninvited beings entering the Spirit World are suppressed by the Interface. 44 143
- Powerful Spirit Bodies find shallow layers restrictive, while deeper layers offer broader laws but increasingly chaotic Space-Time. 66
- The First Layer can be reached through various roads, but most such routes do not extend beyond it; only rare paths reach the deeper layers. 588
Reincarnation
The Fourth Layer regulates the cycle of Souls through the Well of Reincarnation.
- Souls are judged according to their achievements, strength, race, status, and circumstances in life rather than a simplistic standard of good and evil. 152
- The custodians of the Ten Thousand Spirits World determine a Soul’s endowment and place in its next life. 137 152
- The Well strips Souls of their previous Memories before rebirth; memory loss is considered a grave punishment. 152
- After the sealing of the Fourth Layer’s channels, the River of Forgetfulness remains its principal one-way connection to the Underworld. 220
Dream and Memory
Dreams are absorbed into the Third Layer as stable or unstable Dream Realms. They are used to bridge the Spirit World’s orderly shallows and chaotic depths. 66
- Stronger minds create more powerful Dream Realm fragments. 66
- Spirits can gain fragments of Memory and awaken Wisdom by devouring one another within Dream Realms. 79
- Destroying a Spirit World Lord outside its Dream Domain does not permanently kill it; its domain enables recovery. 143
Core Artifacts & Structures
- Codex of Creation — A brass-colored Creation Artifact that sorts Rules, integrates Source Power, accelerates expansion, and serves as one of the Spirit World’s cores. 44
- Well of Reincarnation — A Divine Artifact formed from Life, Death, the Fourth Layer Interface, and the Well of Origin; it governs the rebirth of Souls. 137 152
- Divine Decree Stone Tablets — Three transformed tablets surrounding the Spirit World’s origin spring, associated with the laws established by Ryan. 26
- Origin Spring — A pool and spring within Mount Sinai that externally manifests the Spirit World’s origin and nurtures Divine Artifacts. 26
- Elemental Planes — Wind, Fire, Earth, and Water Interfaces forming around the Fifth Layer’s core, balanced by Positive and Negative Energy Interfaces. 373 387
Relationships
- Ryan — Creator, Lord, and embodiment of the Spirit World’s Spirituality; his power and the Interface’s growth directly reinforce one another. 19 22 233
- Lyanna — Shadow Moon Goddess, Ryan’s deputy, and long-term administrator of the Spirit World’s affairs. 66 152
- Hypnos — Builder of the Dream Spirit World who later attempted to seize the Spirit World Divinity and rule in Ryan’s place. He was banished after his failed coup. 66 212 214
- Themis — An early divine visitor guided through the First and Second Layers by Lyanna. Her visit demonstrates the Spirit World’s unique Life and ecology. 29 30
- Goddesses of Reincarnation — Ounomia, Dike, and Eirene oversee the reincarnation of Souls in the Ten Thousand Spirits World. 137
- Eclipse — An Evil Thing created by Ryan and confined within the Fifth Layer due to its incompatibility with the laws of the mortal realm. 44
- Zeus — Initially an external visitor interested in Reincarnation; later an open enemy after Lyanna trapped his Avatar and he declared the Spirit World Gods hostile. 152 153 619
Major Events
Creation and Seven-Layer Division
Ryan creates the Spirit World in seven days, then divides it into seven layers and appoints Spirit World Angels to serve as its first administrators. 19 22
Growth of the Dream Spirit World
Hypnos is granted Third Layer permissions to reshape Dream Realms into a stable interface between Order and Chaos. Over time, Dream Domains and Spirit World Lords become an important part of the world’s internal circulation. 66 79
Opening to the Present World
Using the God King Divinity and the Magic Net, Ryan secures recognition for the Spirit World’s surface to open toward the material realm without direct world-conflict. 121 126
Establishment of Reincarnation
Ryan creates the Well of Reincarnation, stabilizing the Spirit World’s internal cycle and placing the rebirth of Souls under the authority of the Ten Thousand Spirits World. 137
Hypnos’s Usurpation Attempt
Hypnos infiltrates Mount Sinai, takes the Spirit World Divinity, and orders his followers to sow chaos across the lower layers. Ryan ultimately banishes him with the “Sure Hit” wooden rod, creating the phenomenon known as Starfall. 212 214
Fifth Layer Reconstruction
Faith Kingdoms, Positive and Negative Energy Interfaces, and the four Elemental Planes are developed to stabilize the Fifth Layer’s chaotic Space-Time. Its intended Sublimation remains unfinished due to insufficient power. 233 373 387
Conflict with Olympus
The Well of Reincarnation is inverted and the Codex of Creation seals the realm, trapping Zeus’s weakened Avatar. Zeus subsequently names the Gods of the Spirit World as enemies. 619
