The System
The mysterious framework that turns reality into levels, classes and stats.
The System is the multiversal framework introduced during the Integration that governs reality by applying game-like mechanics to all life. The term covers whatever lies behind stats, skills, bloodlines, professions, classes and titles. It is very mysterious, and it is the only thing in all 93 universes able to interact directly with a person's true soul. It is impartial, rewarding ingenuity and strength while staying indifferent to morality.

Background
The System switches on when a world undergoes the Integration, linking it to the wider multiverse and binding every world to one set of rules and a shared economy. Every sentient being gains a status screen of attributes, resource pools and levels, earns levels by defeating creatures and completing quests, and is promoted between grades at major milestones. Beings choose or earn classes and skills, and skills can mutate into unique or overpowered forms through use. It also runs large events such as Tutorials and Dungeons that double as population culls, rewarding only those who adapt, and its true origin is unknown.
