There are six levels of existences :

• mortals (rank 0)
• inferiors beings (ranks 1, 2 and 3)
• intermediate beings (ranks 4, 5 and 6)
• Superior beings (ranks 7, 8 and9)
• Supreme beings (rank 10)
• Eternal beings (above rank 10)

To identify existences, the following terms are used : 

• low-tier (ranks 1, 4 and 7)
• median/mid tier (ranks 2, 5 and 8)
• upper-tier (ranks 3, 6 and 9)

There are also stages within these levels : beginner, confirmed, advance and pinnacle.

Beginners has just advance while those at the pinnacle are close to break through the next rank.

For example, an upper-tier inferior being at the pinnacle will breakthrough to become a beginner low-tier intermediate being.

In short, a pinnacle rank 3 become a beginner rank 4

The rules follow the same classification as rank levels :

• beginner (rank 7)
• confirmed (rank 8)
• advanced (rank 9)
• pinnacle (rank 10)

The understanding of rules has four stages:

• initial
• intermediate
• advanced
• peak

example : an intermediate understanding og an advanced rule corresponds to an confirmed upper-tier superior existence, so a confirmed rank 9 powerhouse.
