Supplementary notes on the setting and worldbuilding (unrelated to the plot, contains advance spoilers)

I haven't been reading the comments much lately, but today I saw someone asking for more details about the setting, so I decided to post a separate chapter.

Worldbuilding:

Earth and the apocalyptic world are merging. The phantom projection of the apocalyptic world has merged with Earth first. Once the merger is complete, Earth will become a second apocalypse, until it fully becomes a new apocalyptic world.

At the current point in the story, three months have passed since the apocalypse began.

The projection of the apocalyptic world brought Sequence Transcendent abilities, Aberration Creatures, anomalous objects, biological mutations, rule aberration zones, and so on.

At this stage, mutated creatures are still being restrained. Later, they will begin threatening human survival on a large scale.

For now, aberrations are the main focus.

Setting:

Basic setting:

[Sequence Transcendent]: A means of resistance brought by the phantom projection of the apocalyptic world, granting its possessors certain Transcendent Abilities.

[Aberration Creatures]: Creatures unique to the apocalyptic world, brought over by its phantom projection. Their primary objective is to hunt living beings (humans), until they have completely turned a planet into a new apocalyptic world.

[Anomalous objects]: Objects affected by the environment of the apocalyptic world. They possess special effects, but using them comes with certain side effects. The stronger a transcendent becomes, the weaker these side effects become, until they disappear entirely.

[Mutated creatures]: Plants and animals affected by the apocalyptic world.

[Rule aberration zones]: Aberrant areas formed under special environmental conditions. They contain certain special rules that must be followed to survive.

Examples: The residential complex where the protagonist's group settled in Qing City, New Prosperity Town, Cool City, and so on.

[Aberration symbiotes]: Humans who retain their human minds after eating Aberration Creatures, but whose bodies become aberrations. They coexist with an
